The One Sixty Wine Bar & Cafe — Restaurant in Port Moody

Last night, my friends and I decided to try The One Sixty Wine Bar and Cafe after hearing mixed reviews. Unfortunately, our experience fell firmly on the disappointing end of the spectrum. To begin with: I sent a message to the restaurant a day before asking them to add one more guest to the reservation but no one answered. Tried again and no response so I called and was told they couldn’t accommodate the request because they will be “extremely busy”. I insisted and they agreed but to my surprise they didn’t add an extra chair, they just added an extra plate setting which means 4 of us had to squeeze in an area meant to sit only 3. They could have easily moved the small table next to us to make more room, specially since said table was empty the whole time we were there, as well as the table across and the one in the corner. That was handled poorly.

We arrived 10 mins early for our reservation, and it took only a few minutes to get our table which was great. It’s a Beautiful restaurant, well decorated, not too loud, great ambiance, very welcoming and inviting.

The menu looked promising, but they were out of several items to begin. However what blew my mind (and not in a good way) was that the bar is not well stocked; they couldn’t make a mojito, a cosmopolitan and a montecristo; very common drinks with basic ingredients.

We ordered two appetizers: The scallops were perfect and the charcuterie board was ok, good size but not impressive for the price and it definitely doesn’t need apple sauce!.

Our main courses were really good: Wild Mushroom Ravioli, Autumn Gnocchi, Pappardelle Bolognese, and Pesto Linguine.

The service was underwhelming. Although our server was very nice and friendly, she was not attentive. Another server was the one checking on us making sure we had water. It took forever to order and receive food. (Arrival 6:20, food service: 7:55pm!!), my wine glass was empty for a long time before she even noticed. Small plates were never cleared and therefore when food arrived, they had to manoeuvre clean up and serving at the same time. The most disappointing part was that they did not an acknowledge the 50th bday we were celebrating at all: not even a candle, no free dessert- nada.

To top it all off, some individual bills were wrong. It’s a shame because the location has so much potential, but based on this experience, I doubt we’ll be back...

This restaurant is like a wine bistro but I had the worst dining experience in a long time. I ordered the Burrata ($28) and my son the Smash Burger ($22) after yet another gruelling day of unpacking after a recent move but as we were very casually dressed, we not only received minimal attention, I got declined by the guy who served me my order when I requested for some butter or olive oil with vinegar for my bread. He said just eat it with the cheese. There was no sauce at the bottom of the dish and it was fairly dry and the bread was crispy hard so the burrata was not sufficient to moisten it. They charge fine dining prices but there was no practice of fine dining service. My dish was so dry and I waited a long 20 mins before I could catch my server’s attention as she was busy waiting on some other tables to insist I need the olive oil or butter. The food is quite nicely presented but nothing is outstanding about it. It took another 10 minutes before I caught her attention to pay the bill after the meal only to realize they charge for a cup of hot water and a slice of lemon at $3.95. Frankly, I would have been alright with that if the service was impressive but the 2 of us were ignored all evening, we took our own selfies and we were not once asked if we needed more water. I informed my server that I have never been charged for hot water before and she answered that they charge for the lemon slice I requested for. I do feel that diners have a much better option dining at any of the restaurants nearby like Spacca Napoli, Hard Bean Co, Rewind or Taps and Tacos or the awesome Tang Ma Ru or Sushi Modo for this price and even Cactus Club would have won hands down. Actually any cafe or restaurant anywhere would have been better! I’ve never seen such atrocious service in a very long time. Truly the worst dining experience I’ve had in the last 30 years or more from the time I could recall. You will need to pay me to return to this restaurant. Do yourself a favour and take your business elsewhere especially if you are casually dressed in a hoodie and sweats. Come well dressed otherwise! My teenage son agreed that we should have gone anywhere else. Considering that I am a 5 star Superhost on Airbnb constantly recommending good dining options to my guests, I will never recommend this spot to any...

I was there with my family for Mother’s Day brunch. It was a special menu for the brunch and looked great, I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately it didn’t live up to expectations at all. Started with a basket of baked goods for the table which included mini croissants, mini danishes and a mini cinnamon bun, all were a bit stale, the danishes were very soft from the glaze, cinnamon bun was a bit hard. For the mains, my mom has the smoked salmon Benny which she liked, the hash browns on the side looked nice and crispy. Plating was good. Some of the group had the chicken and waffles which looked great, presentation was on point, but some of our group had to wait a bit for their meals because of a mixup, it happens no biggie, but we noticed that when theirs finally came out the chicken pieces were significantly smaller than the meals already served. They also said the waffles were very dry and the chicken was a bit dry also. I ordered the prime rib hash and boy was I disappointed. I think this was one of the worst brunches I’ve ever had. It was a soggy mess. Hash browns are supposed to be browned and crispy.. these were the opposite. I couldn’t tell if they actually tried to brown them first and the gravy just drowned it or if they meant to do this. (And why was there gravy anyways??). It was also a different hash brown than was served with the bennys, those had been deep fried and unfortunately we got some soggy pan fried potatoes.There was very little prime rib and what there was I found to be a bit fatty and had some gristle. VERY thinly sliced which would be fine if they’d added an appropriate amount of the meat. One of my eggs was edging towards ‘hard’ and the other was ok. Plating was the same as what one would do at home but tbh I’d have done better. I had hoped for something comparable or better than Milestone’s prime rib hash so was very disappointed. I couldn’t eat it. I just had the meat and a bit of eggs. Super disappointed because I’d heard such good things. I might give it another try for dinner since my sis had a great experience but I’ll give their brunch a pass...
