YVR is an older base, been around since they started NYC via YVR and while at first like LAX and SFO they were so-so, they improved a lot. I used to take 888/889 regularily in J/F and found them to be excellent after a while - and because its a small base I would see similar faces, get welcomed and remembered - truly excellent service.
On a flight from JFK when the longhaul F caviar service used to be on the dinner EX JFK, the crew left a note to their HKG counterparts taking over for YVR-HKG and saved some cheesecake and caviar from the previous flight for me...
