Wow what a pleasant surprise. We chose the Dine Out menu. The soup was very tasty according to my spouse and my salad with ahi tuna on baby Arugula and purple endive with dried rose buds(not to eat according to our server) was great. Beef Wellington was super tender. Brought half of it home! My fish was a bit overcooked but came with tender and tasty pierogies. Dessert was fine but we were so full... Really appreciated the Chef's visit to talked with us. Wonderful experience. Merci everyone at Unwind.

I brought my family to dine out to celebrate CNY as the menu looks very attractive and tasty. Afterwards, I was quite disappointed with the experience. The servers were polite but very careless when they serve dirty utensils to customers. When I asked for a cup of warm water, I flagged to them immediately a big piece of disgusting chocolate/coffee stains on the cup. When the beef was served, the handle of the knife has a very oily texture. I bet it's the dishwasher problem. The beef itself is fine but it is overrated if you call it an AAA sirloin. Not sure if this is now the quality of a $25/3-course-meal due to inflation, I'd rather spend it on a decent lunch/brunch.

Gong Hei Fat Choy Kitty, We were sad to read your review, but we appreciate the time you took to write it. These 2 stars are the lowest we've seen, but given what we have read, it sounds like we are even more frustrated than you are. Our servers are our strength, and it is disappointing to see we let you down on Saturday. We'll review with our team, as these obvious misses are unacceptable :( Please do not hesitate to contact us directly before your next visit. We promise we're better!

DH & I were here for Dine Out Vancouver 2020, a 3 course meal for $25.00 per person. Appetizers PÉTALES DE CANARD Fraser Valley Duck Breast Smoked with Cherry Wood, and served with Pineapple-Gooseberry Salsa, and Fresh Arugula BC or HOME MADE SOUP Cream of Celery Soup, with West Coast Mussels Stewed in Chardonnay Entrees GRADE AAA BEEF MEDALLIONS Marinated for 24 Hours in Cabernet Merlot, then Grilled to Order. Served with Fresh Spinach-Potato Dumplings, Crispy Asparagus, and Exotic Mushroom-Tarragon Sauce or CHEF'S CATCH Fresh Icelandic Cod and West Coast Mussels, with Fennel Sauce on Mint Spätzle, and Seasonal Vegetables Desserts MIXED BERRY TART With Vanilla Egg Foam, and Gooseberry-Mango Coulis or CRÊPES SUZETTE Fresh Crêpes with Caramel Beurre Blanc, Orange Zest, and Grand Marnier. Flambéed Live by our Culinary Team and served à la Mode, Bien Sûr This is a 30 seat restaurant. They have two long communal tables, two tables of 4, 1 table of 2, and 3 booths that seat 2-3 people. The booths have their own tv but please don't turn them on because the sound can be disturbing to other guests. This place is casual so no need to dress up. Also, they don't push the alcohol & if you only want to drink hot water, that's fine with them too. There is only one server, so please be patient. Our server was Darcy, he was friendly and personable. Feel free to joke with him. DH ordered soup, beef (medium), and crepes suzette. I ordered duck breast, beef (medium well), and crepes suzette. The soup had 2 mussels, there were 6 slices of duck breast. I thought beef medallions would be circular but they were a small rectangular shape. It was tasty. There were 5 spinach-potato dumplings, & 4 spears of asparagus. When they bring the crepes suzette, the grand marnier is in a metal container, and the server will pour the whole thing over your crepes suzette. I thought it was too much alcohol. You might want to tell him that you'll pour it yourself. Also, it wasn't flambeed live.

Hello Teemsum, I am thrilled to see you had a generally positive experience the other night for DOV! The menu is a tonne of fun, but I agree there are a couple kinks we had to iron out. The live flambee of Grand Marnier in particular is something we ironed out just last night for good (I hope)! Darcy is indeed a great member of our team, and we're appreciative of your feedback. Hopefully we can welcome you back soon to earn stars 4 and 5.

This restaurant sits inside Holiday Inn in downtown Vancouver. The food is satisfactory at affordable price. It is not a busy Sunday night, therefore, we get our meal fairly quickly. Beside, the service is very attentive too.
