Jurgen Gothe, The Vancouver Sun -
"The kitchen is unassailable on any level and Feenie is a serious chef whose passion for cooking comes through in every dish."
Jim Poris, Senior Editor, Food Arts -
"Rare is the chef who combines raw talent, commitment to excellence, and heartfelt generosity - the requisites for operating a world class restaurant. Rob Feenie epitomizes that rarity and Vancouver is the richer for it."
Charlie Trotter, Charlie Trotter's, Chicago -
