It really breaks my heart to be leaving this 1 star review. Evans is usually incredible, with the best fish and chips in town. HOWEVER, last time we ordered from them the fish had gone bad. We called to let them know, and the person on the phone assured us that he had taken down our information and that our next order of the same dishes would be free. Today when we placed our order, we were told that they had no record of that conversation, and that at most they could comp us one of the dishes. We pushed back, saying that it's not our fault that their co-worker didn't properly note our information (and they also noted that they'd just changed their system over, so it might have gotten lost in the shuffle). In the end, we were left to pay for bad fish last month with no compensation from the restaurant. We're all for supporting a great local business, so this situation sucks. We order from Evan's every month and have easily spent thousands there over the past five years. It's a shame to have to find another gluten free fish and chips place now.

Was so happy we found this place.As soon as we entered and told the hostess I was interested in ordering gluten free it was the best experience.She advised that some of the staff were either gluten intolerant or Celiac and they had a thorough understanding about cross contamination etc. We ordered fish and chips and they were amazing!!! .Having Celiac Disease I usually have a heightened sense of anxiety when eating out so when I find a place that makes you feel comfortable it kind of makes me feel a little emotional. I would highly recommend this restaurant to all but especially those with issues related to gluten.

First of all, the renovations look amazing! The patio and solarium are huge and have an incredible view. The food was delicious, I tried the new menu item: scallop risotto… and yum!! But what I loved most was how considerate they were in accommodating my mom’s special diet. She is celiac and the chef came out and went through the menu to let her know what she could eat and what could be modified. It was like 80% of the menu! My mom ended up ordering gluten free fish & chips and loved it!! They even have a dedicated fryer for gluten free items. Such a great evening!

On vaycay from Vancouver B.C. doing the walk about at Pier21 and stopped into The BG. Beautiful location, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Huge beverage menu!! As celiac, it's challenging to find some safe eats away from home. I ordered the gf option Lobster Roll & fries and oh my lord.... fantastic 😋 Thanks for being aware of dietary restrictions for some 🥳 If I'm ever back out this way, will definitely come back.
