Concierge "L'Abattoir plays on the butcher theme in name only—the food here is contemporary and not as meat-centric as one might think."
Fodor's "This two-level restaurant with exposed brick walls and classic black-and-white floor tiles has a bold collection of cocktails and an adventurous modern menu."
BlackBook "Thoughtfully-curated wine and spirits list, with knockout original cocktails, like the Donald Draper and the Slaughterhouse, served in elegant antique glassware."
Frommer's "L’Abattoir serves up some beautifully fresh, creative dishes. There’s a French influence, and a slight Asian one, and maybe a dash of molecular gastronomy." Full review

"Highlights from L'Abattoir's seasonal menu have included poached steelhead and crunchy potato salad; snails and pine mushrooms with crispy chicken skin; a twist on surf 'n' turf." Full review
Zagat4.5
"“You'll want to take a picture of every plate” at this “lively” Gastown hangout where the kitchen combines Pacific Northwest ingredients with French style in “fabulous”, “inventive” fare." Full review
Travel + Leisure "A brightly-lit atrium, French patterned tiles, and bar shelves set askew are highlights in this industrial brick building." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Located in Gastown, the restaurant leans into West Coast cuisine with heavy French influences. Menu highlights include chilled marinated octopus, fillet of wild Pacific halibut "à la nage" "

Travel + Leisure "Chef/owner Giuseppe “Pino” Posteraro serves Mediterranean cuisine at Cioppino’s and its sister restaurant next door, Enoteca." Full review
BlackBook "From butternut squash to beef cheeks, pasta couldn't be more perfect, but pretty much everything is, including gracious, first-class service."
Gayot14.0
"Capturing strong, clear flavors in his cooking, Posteraro taps an innate ability to pair French-inspired, Mediterranean dishes with selections from his 1,400-plus-bottle wine cellar." Full review
Time Out "Cioppino's is the place where expense accounts go to die." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"It’s hard to categorize this inviting Yaletown restaurant with warm, cherrywood interior – the name comes from San Francisco’s cioppino fish stew, but some food is French-influenced, other Italian."
Zagat4.6
"An open kitchen and patio tables add to the appeal, and while you may have to “open the bank vault before you go”, it’s still a “place to see and be seen."" Full review
Travel + Leisure "Easily the best Italian restaurant in the city, Cioppino's is helmed by chef Giuseppe Posteraro, who is as much an artist as he is a cook"
