Wishes and Luck - Vancouver

This place was recommended to us by friends. Service was very good and wait staff were very friendly. Small open air restaurant. I had the fish tacos that were recommended by friend and enjoyed them very much. I had two as one is good for an appetizer I was told. More than enough for me. Fish was fresh. Another item recommended was the asparagus salad, but did not have this that day. We were pleasantly surprised!

Wishes Luck Vancouver is newly opened on Commercial Drive beside Jam Jar. The space formally Lear Faye Espresso Kitchen faded without much memories. However the launch of Wishes and Luck seems promising with a nice cedar patio and a new partnership with Chef Ciaran Chung (formerly of Boneta and L'Abbatoir) and Dolly Reno.I love the wooden theme interior with reclaimed fir wood tables and oak stools. They are actually pretty comfy too!"I Got Lucky in East Van"The name "Wishes and Luck" has bit of a romantic story behind it. You will have to ask Dolly herself next time you are in the restaurant!Boozy Bowl: Pretty pond of Bourbon Bitter Sangria and campari and fresh cranberry puree. The perfect summer booze.Bread and Butter service: My first thoughts were, it's just bread and butter. I could pass. But this to my surprise was quite delicious. The bread is moist; buttery with a salty crunch.Lucky Fish Taco: non-GMO soft shell corn tortilla, Ocean Wise fish and house fixings. A softer take on fish tacos. Pretty tasty of fresh fish with a hint of Asian flare.White Sangria citrus focused with BC Blueberries.Asparagus Salad: smoked egg cooked perfectly ajitama with a soft boiled center. Tender asparagus, peewee potatoes and taleggio cheese. A nice summer salad that isn't too normcore with arugula and lettuces.Meatballs and Cheesy Toast: basil pesto with pecorino cheese. Who doesn't like meatballs? Who doesn't like meatballs when done right? There is a nice season and savoriness to these meatballs. And the cheese? Just brings out the kid in our soul!Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate Tart: This tart is just beautiful to look at. It brings out that fat kid out! Fun jujubes colors with raspberries, lemon curd and meringue.

Our thanks to Dolly and her amazing staff; We had a fantastic evening, all the dinners were superb, the salmon is absolutely the best and the deserts are delicious! We highly recommended Wishes and Luck.

The service was excellent for our group of eight. The wait time from ordering to eating was very acceptable. The decor is sleek and modern and the restaurant seemed spotlessly clean. My order of the Crab Benedict was tasty and perfectly prepared. The French press coffee was mellow, just right for drinking black. The restaurant is quite new and deserves a good recommenddation.

Raz and the rest of the employees go the extra mile for you.
