“Found this gem. Food was amazing, service was great and attentive. From the time we walked in till we left. Service was top notch.The hostess brought us to our choice of tables then explained where the bathrooms were. Then told us our servers name. All food was explained when brought out.

Had the burrata- never had it with a sweet component before but this might be my new fav

Prawn cocktail- so fresh
For dinner we shared the angus rib eye/ Mac and cheese/ potato pave and the asparagus. Everything was impeccable. Definitely be back soon“

“You guys never fail to satisfy. I love your food. My only issue is that you’re so tight fisted with the green sauce. 😁“

The portions were generous, the flavours are like nothing I have ever experienced and the cocktails... Run don't Walk to Zarak. Special mention: The service was great. All the staff were attentive, informative and happy. What a treat. I will be back!“

“Very good ambiance, friendly, and prompt service.“

“Sat at the bar with a few of the regulars to watch the first half of the Monday Night Football game which they were kind enough to play while also having a playoff baseball game on one of the other screens. Enjoyed a bottle of Merlot at half price during happy hour which our bartender Taylor was prompt to be sure my glass was never empty, alongside a bottle of sparkling water. No food since I'd just had Thanksgiving lunch, however I did notice one of their staff Adam with a big jar of olives which when I asked for some, they were kind enough to share a handful in a glass to my delight. Super friendly staff and solid service will most definitely have me back for future happy hour visits to catch up with my mates.“

“Went to The Watson for our anniversary and had an absolutely fantastic time. Great atmosphere, awesome cocktails, and some genuinely great people working there.

I ordered A Broad Idea and had way too much fun with the paintbrush, and my wife had the Elected Official which she loved.

Ended up chatting with Jordan for quite a while about cocktails and our mutual love of Fernet. Super solid guy, really knowledgeable and incredibly accommodating. He even made me a custom Fernet cocktail and surprised us with a dessert from their family menu, which was such a nice touch, especially for our anniversary.

Really appreciated the hospitality and the conversations. Easily one of the more memorable bar experiences we've had in Vancouver. We'll definitely be back!“

“most delicious food! the chicken wings are especially tasty!“

“Amazing mixed drinks and an…. Eclectic vibe. Just go and take it all in, you will not be disappointed!“

“Delightful dining experience!“

“We came for a good bye dinner with our team. Our company closed and Glowbal was selected by numerous recommendations from our other colleagues. It was an amazing atmosphere and definitely super-tasty food. When the time for dessert came, our beautiful waitresses came with our ordered sweet cake with “Happy Unemployment “ writing on the plate. It was a bittersweet moment for all of us but our mood instantly switched to laughter and we almost forgot the cause of our gathering“

“Excellent food 🩷 Excellent stuff ❤️“

“Absolutely delicious 😋
We had the sausage pizza, chocolate pretzel bread pudding, and truffle cream spaghetti and meat balls.

The pasta was super flavorful with lots of sauce and meat ball (recommend getting the bread with it for dipping). The bread pudding is top 3 for bread bread pudding I've ever had. All was well priced for what you get.

Our waitress Rosa V, was very attentive and thoughtful and made the experience feel almost personalized just for us.

Highly recommend“

“We dined here on Sept. 20th by accident, after wandering around trying to find food and a beer before a concert. And we were floored. The bartender and server were slammed, but the hustle was incredible, the service was excellent and the food is insanely good! 10/10 will be coming back and recommending!“

“It’s delicious and the personal is very beautiful 😍 Girls Models. The food is great.“

“Amazing food here! Absolutely mouth watering! I will be back a million times over. Great service, keep up the good work kitchen team! ✨👏🏼🔥😍“

“Beautiful, prestigious lounge with an upscale atmosphere and excellent service. I actually appreciate how they maintain the aesthetic of the space rather than allowing random items like silver tablecloths to be thrown over the tables. If that’s the look you’re after, Chuck E. Cheese might be more fitting.

I’ll absolutely be coming back for my next celebration, fancy balloons included. 🎈“

“🍸✨ Absolutely one of the BEST bars in town! My go-to spot for bringing friends because Bartholomew NEVER disappoints! 🥂❤ There’s something for everyone, the staff are amazing, the drinks are always on point, and the vibe? Chef’s kiss! 🤌🏼🔥 Whether it’s a casual catch-up or a fun night out, this place just gets it right every single time. 100% recommend!“

“Amazing food 10/10 heard about it from a friend, will definitely be back“

“Sexy and intimate atmosphere, great cocktails & amazing playlist. my favorite bar in Van.“

“Been here a number of times. Staff are always awesome, vibes are good too. Beer selection is really fun (like even their more unusual options are actually good, not just weird for the sake of it) and they normally have a couple of ciders on there too. Flight is really good value for the serving sizes.“

“I think this is a hidden gem on Commercials drive, they are located next to Havana and you have to go down some stairs to get there.

The service was nice, I would only encourage the staff to know more about the drinks they served, as I asked what liquor was in mine and they said tequila but it was actually mezcal... which I wasn't in the mood for that day.

They had all we wanted to order, the ceviche was delicious and you can actually taste the alcohol in their drinks!

Keep in mind they charge $6 extra if there is an live performance. I would recommend coming here is you are looking for Miami/tropical vibes.“

“Great food and great ambience.“

“During my visit to Hyderabadi Biryani House with four friends, we had a delightful dining experience that truly showcased the restaurant's expertise in traditional Indian cuisine. The garlic naan was a highlight, with its soft, fluffy texture and rich garlic flavor that perfectly complemented the meal. The veg dum biryani was equally impressive, offering a fragrant mix of spices and perfectly cooked rice that provided a satisfying, hearty dish. The veg curries were another standout, with their rich, aromatic gravies and fresh vegetables that delivered a burst of authentic flavors. The meal was a fantastic experience, with these dishes standing out as the stars of the evening.“

“Superb“

“Super nice food, cozy place and good service“

“Best Happy Hour in downtown. Absolutely delicious menu and a very nice location, staff, environment.“

“We have been there several times always have a great time .“

“Was incredible, both my partner and I loved it“

“This place is amazing so not sure why the 3.8 for reviews! Service was amazing and the dumplings were delish and comparable to ones we had in China maybe even a wee bit nicer! Yea it’s a bit pricey but you definitely pay what you get here.“

“Decent place to eat. The menu has quite a lot of varieties. The drink menu is also available. But they don't care how loud and how drunk they guests are.
The alcohol cocktails good here though.
Overall good place to eat and drink if you live nearby or come by.“

“I was just here on may 5th 2024. this was the first time having a5 wagyu and it did not disappoint. the service was top notch the food was amazing. I will be back. please put the tomato bisque soup on the everyday menu.“

“Phenomenal food. We both got the chef’s tasting menu & everything was very well thought and executed to the littlest details. We were served by Max & Andrew, both of whom must be passionate about what they do from what we could tell. My guess is that if you’re into delicious food, you’ll find your way to Suyo’s door.“

“It’s good! Real authentic street tacos & more! Get the Hibiscus Water!“

“Staff friendly food delicious“

“Great drinks and employees!“

“If you're looking for a place to enjoy the perfect gin in Vancouver, then look no further than this local gin bar. This hidden gem is a must-visit for gin lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike. But it's not just the drinks that are amazing. The service is impeccable, Ross and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. They go above and beyond to ensure that you have a wonderful experience, and it's clear that they truly care about their customers.“

“Gem of a place… support local businesses“

“Was here with a friend tonight for happy hour. Amazing food and ambience. Staff was super chill. Bartender / Server was great. Manager (pretty sure he was the manager) came over and introduced himself to us. I’m definitely coming back. 5 stars, no question 👌🏾“

“Arrived on a Tuesday - which meant Tinnie Martini’s! Vlad walked us through the story book & martini options and we opted for a mix and grabbed some eats too. Later in the night Calium made me the most delicious play on “Famous Last Word” with Mezcal. Wow. 10/10 experience and flavour profile. Would recommend.“

“Highly recommend Wildlight Kitchen + Bar. Chef Warren Chow is one of the best chef's in the city! Whether its a special occassion or just a night out, its a great spot to visit.“

“Nice server he was actually french which is what i liked about this restaurant, (that it was actually french). The atmosphere was great with a pianist playing nice music. The food was great i had the bœif bourguinon and the tartare to start everything was wonderful and left with a full stomach!“
