Meal time: Thursday 1:30 PM
This is a brand new restaurant opening up in Yaletown and I had a promotional coupon so we decided to check it out. It's also conveniently located about near the Yaletown skytrain and it's about a 2 minute walk. If you plan to drive, there is parking in front of Hamilton but you know what it's like to park in Yaletown.
We went at 1:30 to avoid the lunch time rush and because I had to return to work soon after. We were nicely greeted by the hostess and they had a nice, quiet outdoor seating area with heating lamps but it was full so they took us inside.

They had great music and I liked the decor. They also had two big pink chandeliers on the ceiling. The crowd was mostly that of the younger crowd. The servers also catered to young children as next to us were two moms with their kids and the servers brought them crayons, coloring books and biscuits. The inside is kind of small so I don't think you could host a party of more than 15 unless you book the place and even then you won't all be sitting with each other.
3 appies and 3 mains came out to be $34/person. It's quite pricey for food that I think I could get at Denny's but I had a 50% coupon so no complaints about that. Service was good as they constantly filled out waters although our server catered more to the young kids.
I wouldn't mind going for just tapas and drinks but it probably wouldn't be my first choice for mains with all the other restaurants nearby. Nonetheless, it's a pretty hip place and I'd certainly be open to checking it out again just to chill.
P.S. Here is the coupon voucher which gives 50% off for lunch during the month of November on weekdays. Definitely try it out before it expires at the end of November.
EDIT: 11/22 -I've removed the rating part of my review as I would just like to share my experience at the time and not give restaurants an arbitrary number to rate a one-time meal.
