Yew restaurant + bar Restaurant Review

: Smart and sexy, Yew is named for an indigenous Pacific Northwest fir tree. The lively bar and restaurant pay tribute to nature’s elements with soaring 40-foot ceilings, a sky-lit glassed-in private dining room, a floor-to-ceiling sandstone fireplace, a 14-seat communal table hewn from a slab of Vancouver Island maple, and serene shades of green, grey and blue. It's the place to imbibe before and after concerts, events and hockey games. There's a raw bar and a panini bar, but the entire menu is worth exploring simply for the topnotch ingredients. Grown-ups will delight in the truffle mac ‘n’ cheese and fried chicken. If choosing is daunting, the pre- and post-theatre Swiss fondue with Oyama sausage is a hands-down winner. There are 300 wines by the glass, but each is available from the mostly Pacific Northwest wine list if you order two pours. On Sundays, all wines are half price. Service, as expected, meets the high standards of the Four Seasons.
