Food was okay but overpriced for what it is. Limited selection. Menu needs tweeking. Presentation is very dated, ranch dip accompanied the chicken nibbles and basic cut-up pieces of celery and carrots just put on a plate. Nice selection of wines, though. The staff were attentive and friendly.

We're staying at the hotel so decided that this would be the easiest option for dinner. Really glad we chose here. The service is excellent and the food is really good. I ordered a Marina Gnocchi Meatball dish. The gnocchi went so well with the marinara, which was quite light and flavourful. The sauce was perfect because it also let the taste of the gnocchi and cheese come through for a well balanced experience. Very enjoyable!

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. It was a quiet Sunday evening and the service was fantastic. The food was very good! I had a Marinara Gnocchi Meatball plate and the chef knocked it out of the park. The marinara was perfect, not overpowering. It let the gnocchi and cheese flavours come through beautifully. Very enjoyable meal.
Breakfast was AWESOME. I’m always suspicious of hotel breakfasts in the US, but this was not that for sure. Also, Lily was an amazing waitress and the food cane out so fast. Highly recommend

Big shout to Andrii! He’s super nice and provides great services to all our families. We enjoy having breakfast every day at Unwind when we staying at Holiday Inn. He helps us a lot and really brightens our days in Vancouver!

Had to leave one star just to leave a comment. The servers are racist, I wasn’t even looked at. Couldn’t even try to get an order in, even though I knew what I wanted when I arrived.
Wow what a pleasant surprise. We chose the Dine Out menu. The soup was very tasty according to my spouse and my salad with ahi tuna on baby Arugula and purple endive with dried rose buds(not to eat according to our server) was great. Beef Wellington was super tender. Brought half of it home! My fish was a bit overcooked but came with tender and tasty pierogies. Dessert was fine but we were so full... Really appreciated the Chef's visit to talked with us. Wonderful experience. Merci everyone at Unwind.
The service is not good at all!!
August 2022 - Ate dinner at Unwind in downtown Vancouver on a Saturday night. After flying into the city, we were too tired to walk to another spot and there did not seem to be many other affordable options. My husband had the salmon dinner with a small side salad which was very good. I had the mixed green salad with berries, mandarin oranges, prawns and almond slivers which was also very good. We liked the ambiance and the friendly, courteous staff. The next morning my husband had a delicious omelet and I liked my smoked salmon breakfast sandwich. Once again the staff was very friendly and attentive.
I brought my family to dine out to celebrate CNY as the menu looks very attractive and tasty. Afterwards, I was quite disappointed with the experience. The servers were polite but very careless when they serve dirty utensils to customers. When I asked for a cup of warm water, I flagged to them immediately a big piece of disgusting chocolate/coffee stains on the cup. When the beef was served, the handle of the knife has a very oily texture. I bet it's the dishwasher problem. The beef itself is fine but it is overrated if you call it an AAA sirloin. Not sure if this is now the quality of a $25/3-course-meal due to inflation, I'd rather spend it on a decent lunch/brunch.

DH & I were here for Dine Out Vancouver 2020, a 3 course meal for $25.00 per person. Appetizers PÉTALES DE CANARD Fraser Valley Duck Breast Smoked with Cherry Wood, and served with Pineapple-Gooseberry Salsa, and Fresh Arugula BC or HOME MADE SOUP Cream of Celery Soup, with West Coast Mussels Stewed in Chardonnay Entrees GRADE AAA BEEF MEDALLIONS Marinated for 24 Hours in Cabernet Merlot, then Grilled to Order. Served with Fresh Spinach-Potato Dumplings, Crispy Asparagus, and Exotic Mushroom-Tarragon Sauce or CHEF'S CATCH Fresh Icelandic Cod and West Coast Mussels, with Fennel Sauce on Mint Spätzle, and Seasonal Vegetables Desserts MIXED BERRY TART With Vanilla Egg Foam, and Gooseberry-Mango Coulis or CRÊPES SUZETTE Fresh Crêpes with Caramel Beurre Blanc, Orange Zest, and Grand Marnier. Flambéed Live by our Culinary Team and served à la Mode, Bien Sûr This is a 30 seat restaurant. They have two long communal tables, two tables of 4, 1 table of 2, and 3 booths that seat 2-3 people. The booths have their own tv but please don't turn them on because the sound can be disturbing to other guests. This place is casual so no need to dress up. Also, they don't push the alcohol & if you only want to drink hot water, that's fine with them too. There is only one server, so please be patient. Our server was Darcy, he was friendly and personable. Feel free to joke with him. DH ordered soup, beef (medium), and crepes suzette. I ordered duck breast, beef (medium well), and crepes suzette. The soup had 2 mussels, there were 6 slices of duck breast. I thought beef medallions would be circular but they were a small rectangular shape. It was tasty. There were 5 spinach-potato dumplings, & 4 spears of asparagus. When they bring the crepes suzette, the grand marnier is in a metal container, and the server will pour the whole thing over your crepes suzette. I thought it was too much alcohol. You might want to tell him that you'll pour it yourself. Also, it wasn't flambeed live.
1st course was small, but tasty.
2nd course was great, but a bit small.
3rd course was peefect.
Good food and drinks
This restaurant sits inside Holiday Inn in downtown Vancouver. The food is satisfactory at affordable price. It is not a busy Sunday night, therefore, we get our meal fairly quickly. Beside, the service is very attentive too.
Food was very good and freandly Service. I recomend Fisherman plater.
