Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in Marpole

The front desk staff (hostess station) was dismissive, distracted and generally disinterested in taking guests names as several parties walked in at 6pm with a reservation and were promptly...ignored. However, once we reached our table, Kiana was superb. She was an extremely attentive, interesting, knowledgeable server who found ways to engage with us and she made our whole dining experience feel special. She more than made up for the dismal first impression of the hostesses.

Enjoyed a lovely birthday dinner last night with family. The food was excellent, as always, but the real standout was our server, JP. He provided really excellent service which made all the difference. Well done! The other standout was the tiramisu cannolis for dessert. Highly recommend.

Booked dinner for my mom’s birthday. Bacon wrapped scallops to start were perfectly cooked - scallops can be easily overcooked. At server’s suggestion I split the massive 20 oz rib steak between my mom and I - it was perfectly done medium as ordered. Added scallops and shrimp on my mom’s portion of steak which she enjoyed immensely. Both portions of the steak were plated beautifully. It was an evening enjoyed by all. Topped off with the Billy Miner pie - of course!

We had a fabulous experience at Lupo last night. The food, service and ambience all were outstanding. The Branzino, the Chicken and the Burrata special appetizer were all noteworthy and perfectly prepared and presented. We will be back!

Our table was waiting our arrival, service was fast, our waiter knew the menu and described possibilities so we were informed. The noise level was very low, free. Parking. We will definitely return.
