  Wow. Really amazing food. Ordered a few items and shared, which is probably the best bet so you can try every dish!
  
  Service was outstanding. Ambience was great--conversation, social, but also intimate at the same time. Staff was friendly and explained everything.
  
  Poutine was good, but I feel like it was hyped all over yelp. There are other great dishes as well, even better than the pork poutine, I'd say..
  
  Seafood pappardelle was good, light marinara but salty.. not too heavy. Beef short ribs SO good! So flavorful! Calamari I was outstanding, best I've had. The pork poutine was OK, just really salty.
  
  Pair it with a drink, very good experience overall.

  My gawd THE fried chicken appetizer
  
  We ordered only appetizers: meat & cheese board, the carpaccio and the fried chicken. Everything was really good but the chicken was the star of the night.
  
  They do have kids menu btw!

  The reviews and interior had me excited to order the mussels I had been eyeing on their menu. Who doesn't want a warm bowl of mussels with bread to sop up the buttery garlic broth on a cold day?!
  
  It was sadly disappointing. The mussels were in a sour broth. It tasted like someone dumped in way too much lemon juice. And that's coming from someone who likes lemon. The acidity was so strong it just tasted off. The mussels themselves were fine. But the fries were as unsatisfying as the broth. They are super skinny tiny crisps. Skinnier than any frites I've had and make them more of a pain to eat than worth it. Maybe other items on the menu are better, but the mussels turned me off from trying again.

  I scoured Yelp before our trip to Vancouver to find a place to eat dinner and ended up choosing The Flying Pig. We arrived just in time for happy hour so we got to try the short rib croquettes and they were SO good. I wish we had ordered two plates of them! For my entree I went with the seafood papardelle. I really liked the flavor of the sauce but the noodles didn't taste that fresh or light. The seafood was good too but for the price I really wish there had been more. It was a lot of pasta with not much seafood.
  
  Overall it was an enjoyable meal!

  With a name like The Flying Pig, I went in expecting to order a pork option.. I saw someone having a steak as I walked up and changed my mind. It was a well plated New York Strip, simple mashed potatoes and succulent vegetable accouterments that dressed the plate for the palate. I ordered one and was not disappointed in the flavor or cook. The drinks were also amazing, but I did not expect the Salisbury steak-like gravy flavor from the steak topping.. that said, my tongue didn't protest that enough to drop more than a star, that also comes from the patio being across from trash cans, but they do a good job of keeping them from view..
  Our server and service was one of the best we had on this trip! Appearing from nowhere like a ninja protecting customers from lost tourists by stepping in to answer their questions so you can dine in peace! Kudos!
