    We had a great server by the name of Kevin. He was outstanding the entire service experience. For the cost of food it just isn’t mind blowing in the flavor and complexity department. I’d rate the food good at best. Nothing to phone home about. Overall I’d stay away from larger plates and make your investment in small plates. Small plate dishes is very we found the better flavor and heightened quality.

    Had my 80th birthday there with spouse and two daughters. Everything was perfect. Three of us had most delicious and perfectly cooked fillets and one had the sirloin. We were all very happy with our choices. The béarnaise sauce was great, so were the mushrooms and Brussel sprouts. To top it off they brought me a birthday cowboy cookie - 6" chocolate chip with a scoop of ice cream on top. Our server, Brianna was fantastic and the manager came around a couple of times to check on us. Would not hesitate to return....

    We visited Dediko for our daughter's birthday. It was a unique and delicious experience! We ordered family style so we could try as many different things as possible. From the cucumber salad to the puff pastry cheesey bread to the dumplings and kebob, we enjoyed every bite. The wait staff were cheerful and made our visit fun. We even tried a bottle of Georgian wine learning that wine had it's origins there. It too, was lovely. We now can say that Vancouver has an imaginative and high quality restaurant. We will be back!
