Thank you for making New Year’s Eve enjoyable after I was bumped from my flight. Great food, great atmosphere and a special shout out to Eva, one of the friendliest servers in all Vancouver. (Peter at the bar!)

Twice I’ve been here and ordered Eggs Benedict and they are not hot. I guess they cook them and then throw the hash browns in the deep fryer . Not good enough

Well we went for a walk for about 1hr and a 1/2 . The person was lying over some empty planters at the front entrance of your restaurant ok . The waitress sat us down then went outside t watch the action of the person over dosing ??? . He has been there for over 2 hours from before ok . So we sat in Original Joe's restaurant for like 10 minutes while the waitress was outside watching this person OD ok . There was two people in the restaurant at this time besides us and we're were totally IGNORED ok ????? . I then went outside to get the waitress. She says to me oh well there a guy out here dying ?? . I am sorry she didn't have a Norcan pen on her she not a doctor and this guy has already been there for over 2 hours and she just noticed him ????? . Terrible terrible service and she then got mad at us because we wanted some service ok .
I don't want to sound heartless but people CHOOSE!!!! there own path of life ok . Being a drug addict is a CHOICE OK that's the truth. That is reality ok.

We had dinner at this location during the week, before an event, and we were so pleased with our visit! Our local OJs closed down, so we miss it! The service was fabulous, and the food was delicious! We mentioned we loved the dill dip so the thoughtful Server gave us a bit extra, which was very unexpected! We will be back!
