Alexis House Cafe - Vancouver

I was meeting a group for dinner at this restaurant last night. Not knowing anything about it I walked in and looked around. The older gentleman behind the bar looked at me with surprise which sort of made me confused. After a moment he muttered that I could sit anywhere. Thick accent that I could barely understand. As the rest of my party arrived I began to understand that this guy was waiter, bartender and cook. Later he also became entertainer.After a long wait I managed to get a glass of house wine. No wine menu so all I could see was a sign on the wall showing price for house wine. It was warm and terrible.After another long wait we ordered food. I ordered kalimari which was gross. Basically taken from the freezer to the microwave to make a pile of greasy mush. I was starving by that time but couldn't finish it.Then I wanted to get the hell out of there but he disappeared. I found him later chatting and drinking with some guy at another table. In moments he was at our table offering to do shots with us. Finally I asked for the bill which he didn't split up so I paid the whole thing to get out.Brutal. Not sure how he stays in business.

The house was specially ordered, it was decent, but no tonne taste. 1 star open for end. I would say 3.5/5 for taste
