Vancouver > Vancouver Restaurants

Advantages: Good food, great decor, friendly staff
Disadvantages: -

Because it was my friend's birthday we had to have somewhere special to eat. But since we had just arrived in Vancouver, had no money after a long stint of not working (hooray though for 10 weeks of no work) and we didn't really know of anywhere the options werent overwhelming.

...her so? Out of the front was an outdoor seating area, and in that outdoor seating area was a river rock fireplace. Not that it would probably keep you warm much if it was needed but boy it looks cool! (as in funky, not cold). Inside there are dark wood interiors with an interesting and eye catching selection of lamps and plants. Though you can sit at the granite-topped bar, we chose to go straight to a booth.

...that have to do with Monk McQueens? Well they will help you to organize your party, only of course if you are holding it at Monks. If you are having it at Dave's down the road I suspect they would be less willing to help you out. Just contact the management, there's also a few suggestions on the website to help you out. Got the look: Wooden floors, glass, bar seating, table seating, deck sittings. Tastefully funky. 1986 1986, the year that we saw ... Read review
