The Sequel

I guess this place is still in “soft opening” so I’ll withhold final judgment, but I was expecting more. The preview menus online looked great, but we went for lunch/brunch, and there wasn’t anything terribly exciting.

I ended up ordering the “Duck Confit Hash and Chilli-Fried Egg:
duck leg confit, red onion, green chilli, flat-leaf parsley, broccolini, blackberry sauce, hashbrown, a sunny side up egg. “. With the word “hash” in the description–twice–I was expecting… well, hash. The dish consisted of a confit leg and thigh of duck, and about ten smashed but definitely not hashed potatoes. The “green chili” was several thin slices of jalapeno resting on the egg. It was okay, but certainly not as described. It was certainly the most inaccurately described dish I’ve ever had.

On the plus side, the build-out is lovely, and the service was good. A bar dominates the surprisingly small room, and the cocktails are creative and well-prepared.

Yaletown Brewing Company

This giant space has a traditional brewpub menu that features all of the standard gotos like chicken wings and burgers, but also some interesting twists. I enjoyed the Indonesian stirfry lettuce cups from the appetizer menu. As you would expect, they have a selection of in-housebrews. My go to is the Porter. Service is very friendly, and the pricing is reasonable.
