$17.50 for a Guinness after recommended tip and tax? What am I sitting around a pool in Vegas? To be fair it was good, but thats the most expensive beer I have ever had in the country!

"Delicious and fresh patties! The taste is amazing, and they are perfectly baked with great flavors. Plus, the price is very reasonable for the quality they provide. Definitely worth every penny! Highly recommend trying them!"

"I want to give a special shoutout to the server who was a old lady there for making our dining experience truly memorable. Their attentiveness and friendly behavior enhanced our meal and made us feel valued guests. We really loved dining at matagali restaurant from the moment we arrived until we left , everything was very well handled. I'm already planning forward to my next visit.

Had booked a double room for 7 nights mid-September 2017. Hotel is 15 minutes walk from nearest subway ( Joyce Collingwood ), part uphill. A small hotel with ground and first floor ; probably 20 odd rooms in total. Complimentary parking in the basement. External look of the hotel is unappealing being on the main road(Kingsway); reception is small but presentable. Were checked into a large room which was dull. Room had 2 Queen beds as the only room available at the time. Dark brown furniture, walls, carpet and curtains. A free standing air conditioner, no wardrobe. Room smelt musty and had large window at the busy main road level hence lacked privacy. No kettle, but a coffee percolator, which was inadequate for boiling water for tea. Bathroom though small had been renovated recently; had a clean and fresh feel. Staff applied air freshener on request. Next morning we asked to be moved. A similar room overlooking the side road was available with a slightly better colour scheme and new fitted wardrobe area. Reception agreed to move us and offered to see if a kettle was available. When it wasn't, and after mentioning it again, they kindly provided one on the 3rd day. We felt more settled after that. Wifi in 2nd room was good and cleaning reasonable. Points to bear in mind. This is a basic hotel. Rooms are large, colour scheme varies from room to room but furniture is the same and outdated. Bathrooms all appear to have been renovated. Very comfortable beds with nice white linen. The hotel is quiet, reception and cleaning staff are very polite and helpful. Nearby are a Safeway supermarket, mainly Vietnamese and Chinese restaurants, pizza take aways and a laundrette. Overall we found the area to be safe with good transport links. However since hotel is not in downtown Vancouver, we consider the hotel overpriced, given rooms need updating.

If I could rate this restaurant it would be a big fat 0. We were the only people in this establishment. That should have been our first clue to run!! We had an extremely long wait for our food. The pizza came out soggy and wet. My club sandwich was ice cold, the chicken was ice cold, the bacon had hardened grease on it, toast was cold, my daughters spaghetti was also COLD!! The lasagna was luke warm and bland. We complained to the waiter who said he would warm it up.. Ummm we are the only customers here why should ANY of it be cold if it just came from the kitchen??? I told them they should at least comp my sandwich which i only managed to eat a 1/4 of. Left the rest. It was awful! The waiter told me i should just go eat at McDonalds.. I probably should have at least my food would have been warm!! The wait staff was beyond rude!! Save your money and do not eat here. Overpriced and undercooked.. Or should i say underheated!! DO NOT.... I REPEAT DO NOT EAT HERE. my worst Montreal experience so far! The servers even run out of the restaurant to try and lure customers in when they stop to look at the menu outside. The guy tried to justify why the restaurant was empty by saying its the time if year. Well i guess bcuz the locals already know to STAY FAR AWAY.. So disgusted by this place!!!

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. The staff were friendly, and the overall service was excellent. However, we were mistakenly charged for an item we did not order. Unfortunately, we didn’t notice this until we were already in the car. Upon reviewing the receipt, we saw that an appetizer had been added to our bill in error. My husband returned to the restaurant to address the issue. The server was very apologetic and promptly removed the item. However, the manager or supervisor showed little concern and did not extend any goodwill gesture. A small gesture—such as waiving the cost of the appetizer we did have, or offering a complimentary item on our next visit—would have gone a long way in leaving a more positive impression.

First time we came here for dinner and found the place was excellent. The food was good but the portions could really be more generous! The Tuna tartare cones were our favorite and we also love the beef tartare...again, would hope the portion be bigger.. The fisherman's ice cream was different and we really enjoyed it. The service was also very good and we had a great time!

My family of 4 people came here for the first time. It was me who want to try Korean food in spite that i 've never been to Korea before. But both of my sons have. They ordered several kinds of food for us. They gave us several side dishes which were all yummy. The bibimbap and cold noodle are my favorite. We also ordered soju both original one as well as fruit favor. Both were fantastic. The waiter and waitress spoke good English and rendered prompt services. The food came fast. The price is a bit expensive. But it worths it. We enjoyed dining here very much.

My room was a 1 bedroom apartment with a full kitchen, not just a hotel room. Very good value for the price, especially considering how very expensive Vancouver is. Asna provided a great check in and check out experience and was very helpful.

This place is terrible, table to eat is very small, and crammed. Overpriced, servers are confused. Food sucks. I walked out mid menu and decided to not go for the main. Terrible and poor quality food. I paid, left a tip and walked out in search of somewhere to eat

Exceptional food for a reasonable price point. The service was okay, great recommendations but super laid back. Would have ordered another drink if I could find a server. Love the look and feel of this place. Best spot for food before a concert

The bed and pillows were quite comfortable and the room was very clean. The bathroom products were nice. The rooms are stylish, although the floor to ceiling windows in our room were in the bathroom. There was a shade with a gap on either side - I was a bit self-conscious about the Starbucks across the street! There is a small bar downstairs which plays loud club music which is piped into the lobby and elevators. I requested a 6th floor room as some other reviewers complained about noise from the bar and gym downstairs. Our room was comfortable and quiet. The staff were all completely lovely. The location is walkable to BC Place and several restaurants.

Another outstanding stay at the Wedgewood.The service was superlative, starting at check-in with David A. Martin the doorman and Dicken the manager were awesome, too. Our anniversary room was upgraded to a full suite, which was greatly appreciated. Everything in the room was perfect. We stay here when in Vancouver for the value, and the friendliness of the staff from top-to-bottom. The atmosphere in the bar and restaurant was very romantic, with a live pianist. This was our second stay, with many more to come. Our favorite hotel in North America!
