Adesso Bistro, Vancouver

It was great while it was there ... gone now

Everything was exceptionally delicious! The ambience and service made it that much better!

The boneless braised beef is to die for.

I am a foodie, but choosing from the menu was not trying to decide which items I liked best, but deciding which items were not the most boring. How about Halibut, not sword fish? The meal was just barely ok. The grilled calamari in the salad were chewy little round bits of what should have been larger tender pieces. So disappointing. The service was friendly and adequate, but rated for professionally would only be a 4 out of 10. My friends say the same thing about the restaurant, none of us are anxious to return. I as there for dinner. My friend was there for brunch. His experience was as mediocre as mine. Without the Groupon discount I would have been a bit angry, not just disappointed. Sorry Adesso, you need a new executive chef and a menu redo. I love to eat! But finding interesting items on your menu is almost impossible.
