I had indicated in my reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, yet it was completely overlooked. When I hinted to our waitress, she awkwardly asked in front of the entire table, “Oh, it’s your birthday? Whose birthday?” before offering a quick “Happy birthday.” The only other acknowledgment was a thank-you card presented when we were about to pay and tip, which felt more transactional than thoughtful. Throughout the evening, we did not feel particularly well taken care of. The food was mediocre at best, with nothing impressive or memorable. Even the takeaway packaging-a basic plastic container without a bag- felt surprisingly cheap for a restaurant of this calibre. I have never come across a container like this at any Western restaurant (despite the price point). Honestly, this was one of the most disappointing experiences we’ve had at a Western restaurant in Vancouver. Given Acquafarina’s reputation, the lack of quality, service, and attention to detail was particularly surprising. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations and left us with little reason to return.
