Shorewood Market & Cafe — Restaurant in Vancouver

So disappointed, brought three of my girlfriends after being here several years ago and had a good experience. Love to look for "hidden gems" in Vancouver wanted to share this this place. Parking is difficult and am currently handicapped but not even that could bring me closer to the entrance. Once seated, our server who I later noticed was someone I knew from another long established Vancouver restaurant. Simply put, she was awesome but also 1 of only two servers in the restaurant. The kitchen was an "open feature" which shouldn't have been because the staff was inappropriately dressed for cooking (tank top) and worst of all no ventilation and left there wreaking of fried food, had to come home and shower! We ordered appetizers to share, yes people appetizers...and an hour and a half later we got most of them. The steak bites were more like steal bits but did have good flavor, however why ask how would you like the done? We asked for medium rare but not even an option with size of the "bits" Final disappointment was the wine, quality average, wine stems cheap, small and pours probably less than half at most restaurants for $7.50 a glass. We will not be back, sorry but your lack of customer service, food quality, kitchen staff, ventilation and not providing a detailed receipt is just...

Service and food are very good 👍 I had the filet mignon, baked potato with all the fixings, and asparagus. Steak was the perfect med well, bearnais was so good I drizzled some on top of my asparagus too. Although the aesthetics are quaint with simple plating, it was clean with a very friendly energy. They serve food at the bar or on the Cafe side. It's a small space, but so worth the trip. The owner herself makes the best augratin potatoes which is offered as a side with the meal. They also offer a crab cake topped filet mignon for only $2 more. Pricing for filet mignon dinner was only $23. Rolls were also served at the table. This really is a great value for good food!!! This was on a Saturday when they also serve prime rib. I will definitely try that...

We came in for dinner. Parking was fine. Walked in, found a table, sat down and waited. The chef brought us water while we waited. We had no menus so i asked an individual that was at the next table if we could see her menu. We got them and the waitress stood in the middle of the dining room and said very loudly that it was rude of me to steal another persons menu!. She then proceeded to take the orders for 2 tables that arrived after us. When confronted she said have a nice day and stay safe. Needless to say we will never be back. I realize catering to the residents is important but we were there about once a month. As i said...
