  • This is more a review for the food than the drinks. Drinks were 3.5 to 4 stars. VIBE Housed in the old Veritas restaurant (where the Veritas sign still hangs) and right beside Betty's is the Pacific Junction Hotel. I find it a very odd name for its location and a tad bit misleading, but maybe that's what they're going for? I don't know. Menus are housed in recycled old magazines which is creative but potentially confusing, especially if the pages stick together! I really like the vibe here and the patio looks fantastic. Closed off but colourful. I was able to sit in a reconverted bathtub with all of the cushions. Fun stuff! They've got hula hoops and leis hanging about to give it the "hipster, laid back, cool vibe" or whatever the youth of today are doing. I do really like the vibe here and think it's more for drinks after work than it is for dining in. Speaking of... WE ATE/DRANK Let's start with drinks: pretty good mojitos housed in mason jars. It's easy to have two especially when deep in conversation. They go down smooth. Dining companion's margarita was a bit salty. I was hoping to have the Coronita Margarita but at "Market Price" for $14, I felt it was too much to pay. Our server was generous and gave us two complimentary shots which I feel was a nice touch. The food wasn't good. I'm sorry. I wanted to like it but I wasn't feeling it. From pictures, I noticed a lot of the food was fried. I had good hopes for the baja fish tacos for but for three tacos with some fried fish in it and maybe a dropping of lettuce at $14 when Grand Electric is selling some of the best tacos north of this border for $3.50 each? It's a rip off. And not filling! No flavour. The jalapeno poppers wrapped in bacon were actually pretty good. I liked those. You can't go wrong with bacon. We were curious about the unique sounding poutine spring rolls --they're exactly what they sound like--- and if you like fried, go for it. But I didn't feel that they were hot enough or gooey enough. Just an addition to my waistline. The gravy is akin to that of KFC. I know, I'm harsh but if I'm spending upwards to $14 for appetizers or tapas, it should be good. And I didn't feel like this was. OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK Go for drinks, absolutely and for the fun atmosphere and hidden back patio. But food? Nope.
