Or take the skytrain.<br /><br />As this place is very busy, go to Cafe Medina to sign up. It's a usual 30min wait. Walk to Costco and get some free food appies...and then come back. heh.<br /><br />AnsonAnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17878560971925723051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-17458451469598722292010-02-22T00:39:58.518-08:002010-02-22T00:39:58.518-08:00We went on the weekend, got seated at the back of ...We went on the weekend, got seated at the back of Chambar. Food was very tasty, portions were a bit small for the price. Had Les Boulettes. Very good. <br /><br />What I didn't like was the service. Really lacking, didn't even get a coffee refill, had a quality check asked before I even had time to take BITE to eat. <br /><br />Worst part, was the 18% auto gratuity on all bills, regardless of number of guests. I don't mind tipping well on good service, but with the autograt the servers seriously act like they don't give a flying F! ;)Garyhttp://www.eatinginvancouver.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-13440450586574552592009-09-03T22:29:29.939-07:002009-09-03T22:29:29.939-07:00Holly, you're right about treating oneself.

I forgot what coffee they used, but it was smooth and a bit on the weaker side. For me, I like it that way over the strong burnt taste of Starbucks. The green one is the Matcha Latte (green tea). Whipping Girl really like it as it was also very smooth and not a very overpowering tea taste.Sherman Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658949865479421864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-12289407109659975902009-09-02T18:48:56.512-07:002009-09-02T18:48:56.512-07:00How was the coffee?

Should I even ask what time you went to bed??? 11 a.m. is already late for, ahem, "normal" people! <br /><br />Sherman, yes, "normal" people work, not to mention "normal" people have breakfast way before 11 a.m... At that time, it would be brunch! :P<br /><br />BTW, I prefer the old layout over the new layout. The new one looks a bit disproportionated or slightly out of alignment.KimHohttp://imonlyhereforthefood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-85541328680012478622009-09-01T23:27:09.041-07:002009-09-01T23:27:09.041-07:00Work?
