sweet, bought!

i got some too.

clever. A good way to bypass the food primary license.

Curious, I've heard various ways of going around restaurant bylaws. Can you elaborate more on this one?

How long does it take for the order to process?

Is the voucher used anytime between the available dates, or do you get a timeslot where you have to use it then?

Has anyone dealt with this site before. I've never heard of it for deals of this nature.

Thanks

According to the site, you don't get comfirmation til the clock runs out (12:30) then they send you a voucher to print.

Again, it says, you can use it any time between the dates but it's recommended that you make reservations for parties of more than 4 people (I'd make reservations regardless).

Went to Circa for their tasting menu over the weekend.

overall food experience, was good.

service was good.

food was about 10-15 minute wait for every course.

parking was hard to find but managed to grab the ones on the sidewalk ?

used the indulge coupon/ certificate, so the total came up to $33.80 - 30.00 coupon.

Grand total i had to pay was 3.80 hst + tip. gave them 5 bucks.

thanks for the review, grabbed that coupon deal and now im looking forward to going

damn those are small portions. I was expecting more for the second course. I was interested in the souvlaki as well.

Looks like kid sized portions. How was the quality of food? Is this is a place you'd go to again WITHOUT the coupon?

^
From the numerous feedback I got from personal friends of mine, they wouldn't go back even with a coupon. :p

Err wtf dude, you gave them a $1.20 tip? I know your bill was only $3.80 but just because you had a coupon didnt change the amount of work that the meal was - if it was normally meant to be $33.80, you should have tipped on that amount, not on $3.80.

-Mark

Or he meant, gave them $5 in tips. But I can see it go either way.;)

Yeah you're right, I guess he could have meant he gave them a $5 tip, but it reads to me: "The bill was $3.80, I gave them a $5 bill."

Hopefully he at least tipped them $5.

-Mark

I absolutely hate the concept of tipping. It's like u'r paying for the services that u already paid for by the food.

:duh:

Uhh no you're not. Food is priced with the intention that you will tip the servers yourself. If the restaurant was going to pay the servers, prices would be 15% higher or whatever average the industry decided it was going to pay its servers. If this was the case, then you'd have to pay 15% more tax as well. One of the biggest reasons that YOU have to tip is so you pay less tax AND the server pays less income tax - win/win except when you get people who dont understand why this is the case.

Your signature is awfully ironic lol, perhaps you dont know as much as you think you do.

quality of the food was good. cant really explain how but its well described as on the menu.

I wouldldnt come back . it was just for tasting purposes :)

yes i gave them 5 on top of the 3.80.

Good stuff

wouldnt really make sense to give them 1.20 in tip lol.

but yeah next time ill tip them on the 30 .

I agree. Just came back. Unfortunately, Vancouver is a very competitive market and Circa does not do anything for me. There is no incentive to return.

I have some vouchers left because some friends bailed and decided not to go. Anyone interested in some extra vouchers? I will sell them for cheap. Please pm me if interested.
