The Reef Restaurant - Vancouver

This return trip to The Reef was a surprise: everything was better than I remembered.__The oxtail stew was wonderful -- slightly spicy and not too

Have been to both the location on Main street and Commercial Drive, and I must say that Commercial drive is the one to go to.__I completely stopped going

The facility itself is rather shabby in appearance, the bathroom quite dirty. However the food makes up for it... delicious, flavourful, creative and very enjoyable. I highly recommend this place!

Their veggie Jamaican patties and jerk tofu are so tasty. Their 3 oz cocktails served in coconut shells go down a little too easy...

Was quiet when we first showed up just before 6, but the place was packed and noisy within half an hour. The outside tables were nice and convivial, people are supposed to just share the space like a picnic table. The manageress is very sweet and helpful and she recommended a killer cocktail. We had a sample of lots of their signature dishes: jerk pork, the fish, johnny cakes, crab cakes, what appeared to be samosas and of course the plantain chips. Very friendly and festive atmosphere, younger crowd, a fun place.
