"Decent food in an interesting location. The chef has attitude issues in coking meat to order. On balance a positive experience"

"Salad was served in a big bowl w/ fresh nuts!! Yummy dressing & so healthy.
Mussels were fresh and plentiful, served w/ homemade warm breads.
I ordered steel-head trout for entree which was served in a deep dish w/ mexed beans
and broccolini. Totally enjoyed every bite. Everything was so creative assembled!
Will go back and tell friends. Price is extremely reasonable."

Only complaint was my food did not arrive hot, merely warm. Not worth sending back for as it would have changed the dining experience with the other 3 guests but if it were just the 2 of us, we would have asked."

"We had a reservation on a friday 8:15. The cocktails were well thought out but overpriced, and our server did not pick the best wine choices per our taste, but we think she might have been training. We had a deconstructed steak tartare to start, which was lovely, and both the deep fried chicken and the steak frites were great. The chocolate chilli mousse for dessert was to die for and I could have found room for another. The music was good, but at that level where you're almost shouting to talk to the person across the table from you. Considering most people were there for dates or dinner parties, the music didn't have to be quite that loud."

"My mother read an article on this place and told me about it - I had no idea it was a couple blocks from me! We came for dinner and the food was incredible. The bruschetta was so unusual, but it was phenomenal... As was the burger. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you get. It's a very tiny place so dinner reservations are key. It gets pretty loud in there too, we noticed. The servers were great. Very chatty and friendly. They told us that they started out being known for brunch, so we had to come back. We went the next morning (around 930 because they don't take reservations in the AM and it lines up!) and again, it was incredible food. Cheesy, gooey, incredible food."

"The food at Abigail's is always outstanding - my Husband had the special which was Pork Belly and he said every bite was delicious. We also love that they continually change up their wines by the glass and that they are listed on a large chalk board in the restaurant.
We have discovered some of our favorite table wines here. It's a small cozy venue which is perfect for more intimate parties. We love Abigail's Party!"

"Unintelligent server gave us a bar table during Valentine's even when we had a reservation but was 15 mins late due to traffic. The server said she needed to "flip" the tables but we were finished dinner and out of there in less than 1.5 hours. The other tables were empty when we got there. If you don't have enough tables, don't let so many people make reservations. Food was mediocre especially the Duck Confit that had a weird taste to it. The food was slow, seems like kitchen was understaffed or something during Valentine's. Overall, an ok restaurant, small and comfy but organization really needs work."

"Food was not to my taste, but may be for others. Had the fried chicken; expected it to be off the bone but it wasn't. Buttermilk distinctly too sour (they said they made it fresh that day) and the meat was tough and overcooked; underneath the entire fried skin it was black and tasted burnt. 3 peices of chicken, a bun, and some kale cost $18. Chicken at Church's or A&W is far better, tender, and juicier. The burger was just a burger, had some herbs and seasoning inside the patty (that was a nice idea) but that also tasted strange. Cheese curds of the poutine was just lumps and not melted at all.
The service is excellent although slow, the people are exceptionally friendly and professional."

"Chef refused to cook steak frites more well someone who cannot have rare steak. Steak was a cheap cut so it was tough to cut and chew. ood was cold and our server lacked full service capability. Managers were really good at asking how things were and coming over to ensure we had everything. Ambience made up for what the food lacked."

"We were seated right by the door, literally, right by the door. The cold wind got right into our faces and food when someone got in :-(
If the merchant can not accomodate, then just say no, rather than suffled us to this no-body-want-it spot.
There is not enough parking within reasonable walking distance."

"I have always wanted to go to this restaurant as it is a block away from my home but...being so close always thought "next time"....wow....did I cheat myself from a GREAT food experience. This meal was absolutely delicious. I had the salad while my mother had the brie bruschetta - flavor explosion!! I enjoyed every bit of my steak and peppercorn sauce whilst my mom was savoring the buttermilk fried chicken. I had ordered the brussel sprouts to share however found my fork hovering above the bowl to keep them all to myself. Dessert was also good - an apple crumble that was not too sweet.
My only complaint was that my talbe of three was placed right next to the door. I understand it was busy and our server was extremely apologetic."

"Went here for dine out vancouver.... The food was amazing and service was prompt and friendly. My only complaint is that it is very dark inside this restaurant and almost impossible to read the menu without holding the small candle lamp right on top of your menu. Will definitely go back but may bring some night vision glasses next time"

"Went for DOV 2013 - overall enjoyed it. The bruschetta was awesome! the soup was also quite good. the fish was good but not amazing and the steak frites were good too but not that memorable. The cheese plate was nice, but small considering the $4 add on. the apple crumble was disappointing. just a few warm apples in a bowl with a bit of crumble topping - nothing special. Overall I would go back because I think the regular looks pretty awesome for munchies and wine and the atmosphere was nice. The servers were friendly, but seemed to be a bit busy."

"We first called to make a dine out Reso and were told that they were booked up until the end of dine out. I thought that was strange since open table said they had availability at 9:30. So I went ahead and just booked online, with no issues. Upon arrival we were asked to chose a table so we did and then we were asked to pick another smaller table Incase they got busy. There was 3 table in the entire restaurant! Service was average, food was average at best. Bruschetta was great ! The flatiron was very gristly and extremely chewy, the cod was flavorless. At some point our servers boyfriend arrived. The server was rubbing his back and had her arm around him in the dining room, and then sat down and shared his meal. Not professional."

"We were there for the "Dine-out" special. I had a wonderful coconut squash soup and a very tender pepper steak. Apple crumble was tart and tasty. The only thing I did not like was that we were seated at a high table with bar stools. I find this uncomfortable and wish we had been informed on our reservations that we were to have this table."
