BC Bistro is a hidden gem. Went in there Christmas Eve. Sat at the bar. Steve was an amazing bartender. It was a prefixed menu. The grilled octopus was amazing we also had the egg roll forgot what it was stuffed with, it was Yummy. Short ribs and dinner and of course all the desserts are outstanding. So Merry Christmas BC and Happy New Year.
