Noise review insights for British Columbia, Canada, Restaurants

10/10 experience at this restaurant! Atmosphere was cozy and the music was loud but Rob dealt with that in a hot minute! Rob was a wonderful waiter with a great sense of humour and had a box of reading glasses for reading the menu without even asking. Food was delicious and was not over stuffed. Special to go bag from Rob and his sense of humour. Would highly recommend this restaurant anytime!

2 stars. first time at chipotle and the workers were to fast and gave me beans when i didn’t want them. the drink machine had no ice so all the drinks were warm. the food was spicy and i asked for the no spice. the store was very loud and the tables were not cleaned well. would not recommend

“....a $2 PhD in hot water economics” Came here for a $140 “snack” and a gossip session with a friend I haven't seen for several month - Left with a groundbreaking awakening on how to turnaround the Canadian economy productivity crisis (i.e. GDP per capital is lagging the US by 10-15 years, maybe forever at this point: 2025 US GDP per capita is projected to be ~63% HIGHER than the Canadian GDP per capita, based on data from the IMF). And it is all thanks to some Leonardo da Vinci of hospitality - absolute galaxy-brain restaurateur who stared at boiling water + one (as in 1 piece) lonely lemon (or lime maybe) circle and thought: “This… this needs a paid subscription.” Revolutionary!!! Truly next level entrepreneurship!!! I’m patiently waiting for the $5 “table structural stability fee” and the $3 “oxygen surcharge per hour." ....Starbucks literally just posted a Q4 EPS miss and their CEO must be on the floor crying into a complimentary cup of hot water, realizing they’ve been running a charity this whole time..... This is it, guys! this is where the turnaround happens! Forget AI, AI robotics, and data centers! -> introducing high added value processing of tap water near you! Every cafe, diner, gas station, and the sketchiest airport Burger King on the planet has been giving away hot water for free (cost: 0.0003¢ or something), but THIS place said “hold my espuma” and slapped a $2 line item on the bill for what is essentially a tea bag’s retirement value. Highlights of the experience: - Water was, indeed hot!!! Truly mind-blowing!!! I was not emotionally prepared.... - Lemon was… dark yellow? Greenish? Hard to tell in the moody lighting. Might have been a lime having an identity crisis (you know it happens sometimes...actually common these days). Still, it was trying its little vitamin-C-ing best, and for which I give it credit! - Food: good. - Vibes: immaculate. - Extortion: subtle, polite, and peak Canadian - just like your property rights quietly evaporating while everyone apologizes.... Would definitely return… to read the new reviews while sipping FREE hot water from the bar next door that apparently hasn’t discovered the hot-water gold rush yet. Keep slaying, kings. 👑 11/10 innovation.

1. We waited approx 30 for our 8 pm reservation. Why have reservations if they are not honoured in a timely fashion. 2 The noise level was like we were sitting in the kitchen. Could not hear our conversations across the table nor could we hear the specials the server verbally told us. Just give us a printout of the specials on a paper or on an iPad. 3. We ordered still water and bubbly and asked for the water to be left on the table as it was a very hot day. It wasn’t and the server was inattentive when our water glasses were empty. So we self served. 4. We ordered wine .Then, we were moved to a quieter area of the restaurant with a different server. When the wine came, I said to the server that it was this bottle was not the one we ordered. The server still poured the wine into the wine carafe. I asked if I could see the bottle. Sure enough, we were given a different bottle than the one we ordered. 5. When the server approached our table she always interrupted our conversation rather than waiting for a pause to ask her question(s) 6. The meal arrived which was tasty! Whew! 7. Then there was a mixup with the desserts. One order was incorrect and one couple had to wait 20 minutes for their dessert. Sadly, it was the newly engaged couple and the reason why we were out for this dinner. So, 1/7 for a high end restaurant. I am so disappointed! I hope management will try to address these issues so that this once great restaurant can regain our attendance. In the meantime, we will go elsewhere.

A few steps from the noisy Campo dei Fiori, you will find yourself in this corner of peace and Romanism complete with oak tree, small church and decorated facades. The environment is refined, the ingredients chosen, the food delicious, the prices right. I dined here alone one evening in May and enjoyed every bite and every sip of wine.

Acorn blew my husband and I away. Our dinner here was the best meal - not just vegetarian but also meat based - that we've had in years. We ate outstanding, inventive dishes and had interesting conversations with our server (young, blond tattooed female) who was the most knowledgeable server in memory. We are literally thinking of coming back to Vancouver just to eat here again. We arrived at opening time on a Thursday and sat at a corner table so maybe that's why we didn't feel the restaurant was overly crowded or noisy like some others. Also, we focus on uniqueness of dishes, quality of execution and service for a dining experience rather than interior design. My husband came in a suit & tie straight from a conference and I was in shorts and T-shirt. We felt the simple, alternative-hip Zen-like style made the place welcoming to all kinds of customers. And finally, our bill was crazy-low for what we got. 4 drinks (2 alcoholic, 2 not) 4 appetizers, 2 mains, 2 desserts was about $125 before tip. And the last time we enjoyed a meal this much was at Dinner by Hester Blumenthal in Sydney at 5x the price. Yea Acorn!!! You make life good!

Amazing food and friendly staff. We celebrated our anniversary there for the second year in a row. However, we went on a Friday night and the place was unfortunately very loud. Conversation was difficult.

The atmosphere was nice. Had to walk up two levels of stairs, but was greeted by hostess. Asked to sit at bar as I was solo. The environment was loud, with people laughing and talking and with the overhead music. I was watching media on my iPhone which was hard to hear because of all the noise. When some blonde lady tapped me on my shoulder and rudely said we can hear your phone. The bar was packed with a couple on both sides of me didn’t seem to mind. The Bartenders didn’t seem to mind or I’m sure they would have politely asked me to lower or turn my phone off. Ordered the Baseball steak with garlic mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Potatoes good. Vegetables could have been more. The steak says it’s cooked medium rare or less. Ordered medium rare it came more medium. Didn’t resemble a baseball steak at all.
