   My husband and I went for a special Valentine's weekend dinner. Service was attentive. Food was unique, very fresh and delicious. The decor is modern, sophisticated and westcoast. Definitely fine dining but not stuffy. Parking was easy and we could walk inside to the restaurant which was great on a rainy night. Host gave us 3 hours free parking and said to let the know if we needed more. Will definitely be back!

   Came here for Valentine’s Day! Staff were very friendly and accommodating. They had the knowledge to describe and break down each of our dishes! Brandon was always helpful and striked a great conversation! Sous Chef Tim made the night even better by coming out to greet us when there was time. Definitely felt valued and welcomed! Will definitely come back again!

   Went with a friend to an event at UBC and headed to Wildlight for happy hour (3-5pm) prior to the event. We arrived at 4:15, restaurant is bright and beautifully designed. We were greeted, seated and served by Damian, who was exceptionally kind and attentive. The food was well-priced and delicious. Definitely plan to come again in the future.

    Came here for dine out at the start of dinner service - a few tables so noise level wasn’t too loud. We came for dine out menu to celebrate a birthday - overall the experience was ok Decor - was lovely, felt homey and warm Food - think it missed the mark for us. Sablefish chowder was ok, like other reviews - was filled with seafood but the quality was off. The soup base was thin, tad heavy on the salt and was like any basic chowder? Nothing too special. Had the mushroom risotto, asked it to be light on the salt - but o boy, it was salty…but otherwise well done, texture was just right. For dessert, got the chocolate cake - again, nothing special. Was like a chocolate cake? For some reason I thought the quality would have been better, more decadent? My kid had their linguine - hard pass on this if I had the choice to choose again. Imagine, $8 for pasta quality you would normally get from a boxed grocery store…but it was al dente though? Not sure kids would know the difference but at least adults sharing would appreciate this Service - server was very nice. The kitchen/? Management was not very accommodating to diner limitations on food selection unfortunately. The service was also incredibly slow for only a few tables who had already started their dinner service by the time we ordered. Maybe just a short staffed night? Overall - I would say, check it out if you’re in the area but I would not make the trip into UBC just to try it out. If you have toddlers/young kids, probably just keep it as a date night and skip the young ones (just not a lot of kid friendly options and heavy handed on the salt)
