Grain Tasting Bar — Restaurant in Vancouver

We frequent this place since I work around corner. But likely won’t go back till this stubborn bad waitress leaves. 16 degrees outside and she decides she is hot and opens several big windows. Great if above 20 or so. But frikin cold at 16. Everyone put on jackets. I asked her to close them. She closed one only and gave me attitude when I asked why freeze us out? She said some people like it? I asked who? Did you ask anyone? She ignored me. So we paid up and moved to far side. But was still cold in there. I didnt bring gloves. So uncomfortable and she couldn’t care. Told our new waitress and she agreed it was very cold but also did nothing. We left with almost 2/3 of the people that were there. Great job stubborn woman!

I would definitely recommend Grain Tasting Bar as a place to consider for a drink while...

I finally got around to trying our Grain Tasting Bar after wanting to try it for a while.

I got the homemade shrimp gyoza and the sweet potato waffle fries. The food was actually really delicious - I was quite happy with that and in a way surprised too.

The restaurant itself is beautifully laid out. Even though it’s somewhat on the fancier side, there’s a casual relaxed vibe to it.

This is a place I’d definitely be back to. The only thing we were confused about was that we did make a reservation but when we got there, there was a sign at the door to say that we could seat ourselves (anywhere we liked) - no one at the entrance to welcome us or note the reservation we had so a little confused as to why they do have a reservation system if we were able to seat ourselves...
