We went to Vancouver to celebrate my men's big birthday. We went for our first dinner to Notch since we were staying at Fairmont. The first dinner and service was amazing. Our server was Stella and she took a great care of us. Since our trip was coming to an end, we figured we would finish it where it all started. Big disappointment... We have no clue who our server was because he never introduced himself, he also disappeared throughout the service... we asked for a bill a random server but it never arrived... We went to the hostess desk to pay, they called the other server who we asked for a bill initially, he added few extra $$ to our bill before the tip, we paid it because we didn't want to argue since he was throwing out there some excuses why/how/what...It's disappointing experience, when you pay this price, in the economy like this for a dinner you expect a good if not great service to come with it especially on a special occasion... oh well, lesson learned. Watch out for the $ amount on the machine before you pay your bill, because they squeeze you out for the extra dollar even though if the service wasn't worth it.

Came here for lunch. The Server was cold, and didn't seem like he wanted to be there. I ordered the buttermilk chicken sandwich and had to send it back as the chicken was 2 chicken wing sized pieces of meat slabbed with sauce. Never have I had any buttermilk chicken sandwich served in such a way. I wish i took a photo. Server tried to justify the sandwich before finally realizing it didn't look correct. They brought out another burger and just put the meat from the first burger in to the second burger and added another chicken wing. I don't think we'll be back. Better options in the city for the price.

Awful food ! This place has become a hotel restaurant and not a destination for dining. Avoid at all costs for dining.

Went for the weekend brunch and the service was really great, and good value for the cost. Very vegetarian friendly too, and the cocktail menu is fun. Highly recommend!

The food is so bad here ! We ordered their Gem salad and it was so flag ! Not sure how one can screw up making a nice salad. We did not order dinner after our salad experience. Definitely would not recommend this place for any meal ! This has simply become a terrible hotel restaurant! Avoid at all costs

This lovely restaurant is inside the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. There are public pay parking lots close by. We were there on a Saturday for the buffet brunch ($65); pricey but worth the experience. Ingredients are fresh; the variety is great, especially the salad bar (salads, cheeses, seafood, and fruit) and desserts (so many different delicious sweet treats). The carving station had 2 types of meat (beef and porchetta) and there’s an omelette station. Other hot foods are eggs benedict, bacon, chicken sausage, potatoes, roasted veggies and pasta. Nearby are two types of fresh juices: green and red. Lastly, there are croissants, other pastries and warm bread pudding. Lots of food!!! The friendly, helpful server came around often. And the birthday boy got a special dessert with a candle. We had a terrific time!
Went there for some drinks. Nice interior and was quite busy for a Wednesday afternoon. I had gin and tonic but the service was ok considering the price. No complimentary biting like nuts or chips with the drinks.

I used to love going to notch8 for its famous grilled chicken. Recently it’s changed to schnitzel chicken and overall the food quality has dropped down a lot. Staff are professional and friendly.

Had dinner here twice. Spent ~$300 both times. Felt service and food justified the price. Maribelle, one of the hostesses was very kind and accommodating with our reservation. Not long of a wait on weekdays, would call ahead for a reservation Friday-Sunday.Food wise, prime rib was a clear stand out, cooked perfectly medium, well seasoned with a generous serving of sides.Kabocha squash was also quite good, soft with just the right amount of sweet and savory. Sunflower risotto was interesting but paired well with the squash.Striploin was likewise cooked perfectly however a little disappointed with the serving size which appeared to be 4-6 ounces, not quite enough to be a main.Seafood tower was a little disappointing. Too much foam with the tatare and the Dungeness crab was still a little frozen. Trout was flavorful but dry.Overall a great experience.
