Great small plates include the cured carpaccio and poke-style tuna with crisp wontons for scooping, and the szechaun prawns with chili salt and chili wok mayo. Or, if you're timing is spot on, the much ballyhooed ravioli - stuffed with mushrooms and three cheeses and served with spinach and wine – is a must-try. Currently, the wine selection is small but I'm told additions are forthcoming. In the meantime, you can wet your palette with a number of interesting cocktails, such as the summer-appropriate bramble with gin, lime, ice, and blackberry liqueur.
While this may not be the most restaurant-friendly area of town, these two chefs have found a compelling formula. They may not be the little guys for long; let's hope they don't go getting all corporate on us. - CA

5 Reader Reviews | I am the biased mother of Allan bosomworth, however having said that and having eaten there now a various times of the day with several different people , it has been always a great time - good, good conversation and a good food even during the lunch feeding time frenzy!!! one can have a close and personal conversation with a friend and not be aware of the frantic eaters around you. Brunch is very nice also but the best time is at night with the wide open windows on the city - then it is a wonderland.... oh did I mention I taught my kid how to cook but he did the hard work as did Karl to be owning their own place.

Really OVERpriced as well as OVERrated. I had heard about this place from various foodies - and now I was a tad dissapointed. It's good... just not great

Ehh....overrated, mostly pomp and circumstance. There are about 15 other restaurants that I would choose before I went back here.

I have called ahead for take-out 3 times in the past month and each time has been excellent. The mac & cheese, okay I had that twice it was so good, and their big salad with mango dressing and grilled prawns, is a close second. Easy walking distance from Gastown (7 minutes) prices are incredibly reasonable for the portion size. Call before 12 or you have to order when you get there. Excellent option from "spaghetti" and sandwiches.

With being Karls parents from Penticton, we'll try to give an unbiased opinion. We attended one of the openings and from the talk that went around it would appear that Karl and Allan are on the right track with their new venture. It certainly fits in with Vancouvers "character". The food was very good, well presented, and the atmosphere is upbeat. A great time was had by all.
