Grant House — Attraction in Vancouver

Beautiful place, beautiful surroundings. We had the same person serving us as we had spoken to on the phone shortly before entering. Condescending, unwelcoming and ignorant are how we would describe him, unfortunately. This was our first time visiting this establishment based on a recommendation we'd seen on social media. I was really excited to try the grilled cheese sandwich. I was disappointed, as it was not only very small in size but was extremely oily/greasy. Rather than ask us if we'd like it at the same time as our tomato bisque soup (which was very good), it was assumed that we wanted it afterwards. Grilled cheese & tomato soup go hand in hand right? When we politely asked if our sandwich was coming, we had yet another unfriendly response from a different member of staff. Not once did our server check in to ask how anything was or if we wanted anything else. But he did question us as to why there was only one empty soup bowl on the table and not 2 (may as well have come right out and asked if we'd stolen a soup bowl). Just awful.

What a delicious dinner the 5 of us had for Father's Day! From the Mezze Board paired with the Willful Rose to the fresh pasta dishes of gnocchi and trafilata with wonderful sauces ... the inspired crab cake with asparagus and corn over mashed potatoes and the shrimp and grits were exceptional ... sadly, there were no left overs. And then we tried all 3 featured desserts ... my 87 year old mom demanded her own creme brulee ($th dessert) and finished it all. We sat on the porch and the whole experience was outstanding! Pam, the owner, has put her heart and soul into reviving the Grant House. Her wines are winners and won't disappoint the fussiests of wine connoisseurs. We'll be back very soon. Make a...
