All lived up to the standards. The scallops were the highlight.

Have been there a couple of times. I’m huge on steaks and out of all the halal steak options I’ve tried in the lower mainland, this one definitely takes the cake. Didn’t even know that they had halal options until a friend mentioned it to me, and when I found out, I was beyond happy. Upon entering the resturaunt, I’m always greeted by the nicest staff, and the coat check is also super convenient. I kid you not, last time I went there, a waiter offered to put the coat on me. Anyways. I always grab the truffle Mac and cheese and oysters for appetizers, along with a mocktail which they have a good selection of. Their ribeyes and halal wagyu cuts are amazing, especially with a side of broccolini or asparagus. Their house sourdough is great as well. As for the desserts, i recall having the berry cheese cake (dont recall the name) and it was great. Never been disappointed with their food or service, and will definitely be coming back in the near future.

Amazing experience at Elisa! The atmosphere feels upscale but still warm and welcoming, and the food was absolutely top notch. Everything was cooked perfectly and the service was polished without feeling stiff. Great spot for a special night out definitely one of my favourite restaurants in the city!

This Restaurant really sounds BAD after reading the negative reviews. Was thinking of going but not anymore. Seems like the management doesn't know how to run it

Elisa is hands down one of the best steakhouses in the city’s. From the ambience, service, steak, it’s just executed with next level execution. If you don’t go here, you’re missing out!!

My first visit to Elisa Steakhouse was truly a great experience from start to finish. From the warm welcome at the door to the impeccable service throughout the evening, everything exceeded expectations.
Lucas, our server, was absolutely amazing. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the menu and offered thoughtful, well-informed recommendations that elevated our dining experience. When we mentioned that we were looking for halal options, he immediately demonstrated a deep understanding of the menu and went the extra mile to ensure we felt comfortable and confident in our choices. He carefully explained which dishes contained wine, whether it was incorporated into sauces or used in preparation, and made sure any sauces containing wine were served on the side so we could decide for ourselves. His attention to detail and respect for our dietary restrictions were truly appreciated and made a significant difference in our experience.
As for the food, everything we ordered was outstanding. Each dish was beautifully presented, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor. It’s clear that great care goes into both the quality of the ingredients and the execution in the kitchen.
Overall, it was an exceptional experience, marked by incredible service and fantastic food. We will definitely be back and look forward to another memorable evening.

Elisa is a good spot for fine dining. I sat at the bar and was fine with the staff; perhaps a bit indifferent, but overall they were professional. The steak was a standout—truly one of the best I've tasted. The restaurant is overall nice and has a simple, high-end atmosphere. You definitely pay for the atmosphere here, but I have nothing negative to say. If you love steak and a refined environment, this is the place to go.

A case of style over substance. The staff and atmosphere are top shelf. However, the food is mediocre. The steaks, which are hyped up, are at best so-so. My $90 ribeye was tough even at medium rare. The side and starters are similar to what you might get at Cactus Club. BTW, no one wants Brussel sprouts in mayonnaise or soggy fires, greasy spring rolls or a bean soup that tastes like gruel. If you are going to hold yourself out as a steakhouse then you will be compared to Morton’s or Barberian's (Toronto) or at worst, Hy’s or Gothams (Vancouver). Sorry, Elysa does not cut it and there was not one thing on the menu that would not be a punishment to eat again. Respectfully submitted.

What a truly wonderful dining experience and an absolute must try while in Vancouver! Incredible food, perfectly crafted drinks, and most notably, outstanding service from Nicole that elevated the entire night.
We began with the fresh oysters and bison tartare…beautifully prepared. For mains, we enjoyed the Rib Eye and Branzino from the inferno wood-fired grill… SO GOOD! The mushrooms and kale salad were fantastic complements to the meal. We wrapped up the evening with a stunning Baked Alaska and espresso drinks. Being a coffee enthusiast, I have to say, the Espresso Martini was absolutely spot on.
What truly made the night special was our server, Nicole. She was an exceptional ambassador for the restaurant. Nicole offered thoughtful recommendations throughout the evening and guided us through the menu with genuine enthusiasm and deep knowledge. She spoke so highly of Chef Andrew Richardson and shared her admiration for his journey dating back to his early restaurateur days. Her pride in being part of this team was evident. Special.
Nicole’s understanding of the menu made the experience feel personal and immersive. She even recommended other restaurants for us to try that were part of their family of restaurants….can’t wait to try Bluewater. Nicole made us feel genuinely welcomed and valued. She deserves special recognition for an unforgettable meal and will be a huge reason why we will be back!

Seafood plateau was amazing, particularly the 3 raw fish (hamaci, tuna and salmon). Just wish there was more. Great 12 oz Australian wagu rib eye and baked Alaska. Caesar was good, side of roast potatoes could have been more special for the price.

My boyfriend and I went to Elisa Steakhouse for Valentine’s and we had a phenomenal meal! It’s definitely on the expensive side, but once the food arrives, you get why.
We ordered the 8oz steak, truly worth every penny, and the lamb, which was cooked to absolute perfection. The mash potatoes are gorgeous, don’t know how else to describe them! The cocktails were refreshing, everything tasted unreal, and there wasn’t a single bite we didn’t love.
Big shoutout to our server, Harvest, who was so warm, friendly, and helpful. She explained the menu and wine pairings in a way that made ordering easy!
Amazing food, great service, and such a special experience, we’re already looking forward to our next visit!
