Personal Remarks:  Unique and interesting.  There's live music which was interesting and different.  Is this a first date place?



Having a conversation is hard, especially when there's a live band.  You're going to be competing to talk over them, or you're going to be watching them perform.  Depending on why you come, this may or may not be the right place for you.

I have never been to France and the décor seems like what I imagine a small French bistro  in a small village of the countryside would be like.



The Divine was tasty! The chicken was wrapped in what tasted like phyllo dough.  It did not taste like it was wrapped in a desert crepe, the dough was more full and not thin.  


This dish is TOO overpriced!!!!  The salad was served on the same plate making the plate look more full but I felt there should have gave me one more of the chicken wrapped in phyllo dough to make this dish worth it.  If this dish was $9.95 then this would have been more reasonable.  


I was actually expecting a lot more from the desert crepe, size wise.  For $4.50 meaning $2.25/roll.  This was actually one big crepe cut in half.  I totally expected a lot more, I was thinking where the rest of it was, my first thought was wow French egg rolls!  

There wasn't a lot of filling and for it's price this was definitely a rip off.  

The water was just tap water which was a disappointment.  Even though Vancouver has clean water, Main Street is one of the older districts and the taste of tap water really ruins the experience they are trying to present.  It just made the whole experience cheap.

The vibe here is nice if you're looking for some place different to lounge at.  

I wouldn't order any food here, it's just not worth it.  This restaurant seems to have a few loyal patrons to keep this restaurant in business for now.  But they definitely need to improve.



Another big problem was the menu had no pictures of their actual dishes.  The pictures were all web generated images which made ordering confusing.

Value: 1/5 Overall: 3/5
