Such a great spot. Great interior design, music, service, and overall atmosphere. The tartare was a bit acidic & monotone but the rest of the food was perfectly executed. A must!

Great experience. The tartare was a bit acidic but the rest of the food was phenomenal. Great music (both in choice and volume). We'll be back!

Bar Gobo is great, the service is always super attentive without being intrusive or overbearing. The staff is incredibly friendly. The food was delicious and had some tasteful twists on classics which we really enjoyed. And finally, the music as well as overall sound was great. Not to mention also we had a nice bottle of wine that lined up with order just nicely. Highly recommend and will be back!

Such a cozy, chill spot with great music, excellent and thoughtfully prepared food, icy cocktails, and the perfect amount of attentive, relaxed and friendly service! Plus a great list of fancy zero-proof drinks for non-drinkers. Bar Gobo is a real gem, can’t wait to go back! :)

Gobo is a special place in the city. Whether you’re just stopping in for a late night glass and a dessert, tasting all the offerings that chef Ralph has to offer, or drinking a quick whisky highball to calm your nerves before a first date - this is the place for it. The room, the people, everything is on point. And to top it off you’ll catch yourself asking your server “what song is this” multiple times in the evening to add to your playlists. Gobo forever.

My husband and I went here after eating dinner at Pizza Coming Soon. We had dessert and two glasses of wine. For dessert we ordered the Sticky Rice—it was amazing! We also had a glass of Pinot Noir and Rosé. The atmosphere is amazing and the music is vibey! I highly recommend this place!

I have been here twice now - and love it!!! Steak Tartare, chicken liver mousse and the bread!!! Delish!! Great staff and vibe. Highly recommend!!!
While we did not get the opportunity to try the full menu, the poor execution of the snacks (cabbage salad, chicken liver mousse, and oysters), coupled with the unfriendly service, confirmed that we won’t be returning to this spot.

My friend and I went here for wine bar date/ bar hopping last night! The wine we ordered was really good and I love how the food they have is Filipino fusion! I'd def go back to this bar to try the rest of their menu :)

Most dishes were either imbalanced or one flavor overpowered the others. Pork was tough and not very flavorful. Tartare was good though.

I had the best dining experience here! Friendly staff, inventive menu, cool ambient music on vinyl. I got the oyster as an appetizer, as well as the Prix Fixe (chose the tartare, the pork collar, and the sticky rice toffee pudding). Everything was fabulous, but the Pork Collar with tomatillo sauce and the Sticky Rice Toffee Pudding were true stand outs that made me wish I lived in Vancouver so I could come back again and again. Very impressive that they can make a menu like that with only a tiny kitchenette at the end of the bar. The staff was also extremely knowledgeable and helpful - I asked for a chilled red and they did not have something "chilled" but my waiter recommended the perfect juicy light red wine that was exactly what I was searching for. Love this place!!!
