rev:text	Review #27 of Yelp's 30 Day Challenge 2012 I had heard a lot about this place...in fact was due to meet a friend here for dinner a year ago and plans fell through. And so expectations were high...maybe too high. I had made reservations a month prior since we had cousins coming into town joining us for dinner & a concert later. We arrived and the place was not that busy for a Sunday evening. But right after us people started coming in and it filled up. We enjoyed reviewing the menu selections and ended up ordering quite a feast which included 2 charcuterie boards and another 6 tapas. Initially the waitress was a little pushy trying to get us to place an order and hovering (nothing like feeling pressure) and when I finally ordered the wine for the table she seemed slightly taken aback that I ordered the wine instead of the menfolk (I worked in the biz 20yrs ago and I know wine, so really who cares who orders). Our cousin (the other lady in the group) ordered a flight of wine tasters and was waiting for the charcuterie to arrive so she could enjoy some of the cheese with her wine. 45 minutes later we finally had to enquire as to where are meal was since we had a concert to go to in an hour. What we were "told" was there was a large group in the house and only 2 in the kitchen. What we "heard" was we didn't properly staff our restaurant for this evening and so all the customers food will take a long time. Seriously a charcuterie board taking 60 minutes?? 10 minutes later it finally arrived. It was certainly delicious but the wine flight had long been consumed by this time. 5 minutes later the tapas started arriving and of course we were running late so everything was eaten hastily and we can't help but wonder prepared this way also. The BC Seared Scallops were gritty although the broth was tasty. The Eggplant Chips were missing the eggplant and all you could taste was the crispy coating. The Falafels were doughy inside. The Flight & Bite with Lamb Stew was good. The Artic Char was good....the Lobster Nachos had a nice flavour but seemed to be missing lobster (3 pieces is all we could find). Finally the Flank steak arrived and made hubs happy. Cooked to perfection. Even more delightful were the accompanying cooked winter greens. Holy deliciousness...everyone agreed and we chowed down on those delectable greens like hungry little rabbits. During our meal we asked for the wine menu again since the cousin with the empty wine flight had not been asked if she wanted anything further to drink. For a waitress who was hovering at the beginning we had to battle to get and keep her attention now. Our cousin was drinking white and asking for suggestions. She was given a recommendation by the waitress who then turned to leave without addressing any of the rest of us. We called her back...since we also wanted to order more wine. Wow does body language speak volumes and we felt like we were imposing on our waitress. I ordered 2 more wine tasters for hubs & myself. Then the waitress turned to run away again not even addressing the white wine drinker who was also ready to order. We called her back YET again and uneasily felt like we were still bothering her. Since we were already late for the concert we had no time for dessert or an after dinner beverage. We spent a lot of money for a mediocre evening and left slightly disappointed by the overall experience. The cousins advised they enjoyed the company and some of the food/wine but this would not be there first choice again. As for us I am hoping it was just bad planning and a bad night for the restaurant unfortunately at our expense. I can honestly say I would try any of the other dozen wine bars first before rushing back here. First impressions......
