Came by on a Friday night during Dine Out Vancouver in a group of four. First off, I loved the room and the ambience. Our server came by right away and took our drink orders, so off to a great start. And nice that they...had a local IPA on draught. It went downhill from there. It took a while for our server to return to take our dinner order. I opted for the trio of dips to start, with the chicken for the main and the rice pudding for dessert. The trio of dips were the star of the meal and I enjoyed all three: humus, egg plant and carrot. We were only a few minutes into our appetizers, when they brought out three of the four mains. A wee bit odd as we were all still eating our starters...and not anywhere close to finishing them. We made the most of it and the persons in our group began to eat both courses together. Unfortunately my main was not brought out. After twice enquiring on the status of my entree, the chicken was served 20 minutes later, after the rest of our group had finished their mains. No apology or explanation from the staff. The chicken was overcooked, dry and had no taste. The rice was bland and not memorable. Our desserts were brought out together (yeah) after we had to flag down a server to enquire if we could get our desserts now. Rice pudding is one of my favourite desserts but this was surprisingly also very bland. I have had good rice pudding and this rice pudding was not good. The positives of the meal were the presentation of all three dishes and the taste of the trio of dips. I normally do not breakdown my reviews in separate ratings, but felt compelled, to justify my 2 star rating: Room/Ambience: 5/5 Food Presentation: 4/5 Food Taste: 1/5 Service: 1/5 With the multiple issues with the food and service, it was not a positive food experience and I can not recommend Nuba.
