“great staff great atmosphere great food great flower arrangements everything was fantastic I always love bringing people to this restaurant they always leave happy 😁😁“

“A great experience overall. Personalized, kind, friendly, attentive. Exquisite overall. Loved the decor which is a plus for me as a visual artist, loved the ceramic earthy dishes mixed with classic style ones too, certainly calling to my french genes sensibility! Food was great, vegetarian i am so I was very happy to be served delicious dishes. ( it is definitely not a vegetarian restaurant but I was pleased to spend part of my evening there and be able to eat the few vegetarian options.) Music was awesome! ( guitar duet ).“

“Excellent food and wine in a cozy, friendly establishment“

“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.“

“First time trying this place — loved the patio! The area wasn’t too busy, super cozy even though it was a bit windy. The staff were really friendly! The chef rotates, and we got the ceviche — it was okay, but the vibe totally made up for it. Would definitely come back to try more food! Overall 9/10 🤍“

“What an amazing experience! We did an à la famiglia dinner with wine pairings and the service we received was outstanding, our server was knowledgeable and provided great pairings and information! We will definitely return next time We're in town“

“Great atmosphere, great staff , delicious food and amazing music on Saturday nights Definitely recommend“

“Great wine tasting room with perfect pairings in a cool, rustic setting. A must if you enjoy good wine and service.“

“Rude server - My wife's first experience going out after giving birth. The male server peaked over her shoulder while she paid and made a rude comment when he saw she tipped 'only' 15% on a $20 cocktail. Completely ruined her night. Train your staff better.“

“Our last night meal in Vancouver, a great way to end a fantastic holiday“

“My friends and I tried the shared tasting menu and which is totally worth it if you’re looking to try a bit of everything!

Every dish was delicious, packed with flavour, and perfect portion sizes. Love how they use seasonal, local ingredients.“

“A solid 5-star experience at Courtside! My friend and I sat at the bar, and despite the basketball theme, the staff was kind enough to switch a TV to the Canucks game for us, which was a thoughtful touch. We took full advantage of the all-day happy hour—amazing deals and delicious drinks. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Great atmosphere, great service, and great food. We’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend!“

“Lovely atmosphere, delicious food, polite staff and a pleasant music. Really nice place!“

“Folke serves wonderful vegan dining that can be enjoyed by anyone. We've never had a bad dish here and highly recommend it!“

“Really good waffles and really good lattes“

“Shayla, our server, was absolutely amazing! She explained the menu thoroughly and made excellent recommendations that we were glad to try. The entire experience was exceptional, and the food was perfect from start to finish.We had the red wine braised short rib of beef from Double R Ranch — it melted in my mouth and the flavor was out of this world. We started with the scallops and smoked bison tartare, both of which were outstanding.For other mains, we enjoyed the wood grilled lamb, the Hank tenderloin steak, the Wagyu beef picanha from Brant Lake Farm in Alberta, Blue Dot Beef in Prince Edward Island striploin (10 oz). They were all amazing. The Blue Dot had incredible flavor — juicy, tender, and hands down the best steak I’ve ever had. Every steak was beautifully cooked and packed with flavor.We finished the evening with trying ALL THE DESSERTS! The baked Alaska was beautiful and delicious! The ice cream trio was so creamy and rich. The creme brûlée was smooth and dreamy. The chocolate cake was moist and perfectly matched with the passionfruit sauce. The fam favorite was definitely the cheesecake… we were all wanting it! Perfect flavor not too sweet and very smooth. Blackberries were a perfect match. We also had the donuts.. don’t forget about those. Im still dreaming of them. Highly recommend — a truly unforgettable meal!“

“Staff friendly food delicious“

“The first thing that hit me was how clean the venue was. The staff was very friendly. We chose the prix fixe. The steak was one of the best I’ve tasted because there were no tough bits at all and the sauce was SO good. The side salad was well balanced. I am GF so I asked for veggies on the side and they gave me these grilled mushrooms that were very addictive. The cocktails were delicious and my husband’s wine was so good.“

“The food is yummy, the service is great, and a good price.“

“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 👌🏾“

“I’ve visited this restaurant many times, and it’s always such a pleasant experience. The interior feels upscale yet relaxing, and all the staff are friendly and welcoming.

The “Holly Cow” platter is an amazing selection of meats — without a doubt the best taste you can find in Vancouver.

They also offer individual BBQ sets and counter seating, which makes it easy to come alone, while the private table seating creates a wonderful atmosphere for families or friends to enjoy together.

I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!“

“l Nido in Vancouver is an absolute gem! We came here as a family (me, my wife, and our 11-year-old son) and the pasta dishes completely blew us away. Every forkful was a total flavour explosion – the Amatriciana had the perfect smoky-spicy kick, the carbonara was rich and creamy without being heavy, and the kid’s spaghetti with house-made meatballs disappeared in record time because the sauce was so incredibly tasty. My son actually said “Dad, this is better than pizza!” …and that’s saying something.
But the real star of the show? Hands-down the best tiramisu we’ve ever had in our lives. A product of our Italian server’s mother - a perfect balance of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, silky mascarpone, and just the right dusting of cocoa. It’s so light yet decadent – we fought over the last bite (I let my wife win… this time).
Warm, welcoming service, cozy atmosphere, and every dish made with so much love. We’ll be back very soon – Il Nino just became our new family favourite in Vancouver! Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely LOVED their plant based menu! Very much recommend the oyster mushroom “calamari” 😍“

“We had a wonderful dining experience at Croquette Brasserie. Our waiter was both helpful and charming, adding a personal touch to the evening. We started with the moules-frites, sharing the mussels and fries as an appetizer. The dish was outstanding—perfectly cooked mussels paired with crisp, golden fries. For our main course, we chose pasta sourced from their sister restaurant, Fiore Famiglia, which happens to be our long-time favorite neighborhood Italian spot. As expected, the pasta was impeccable, showcasing the quality and flavors we’ve come to love. A special highlight was the crème brûlée, torched at our table by the waiter. Watching the caramelized sugar form into a crackling, golden crust was such a treat, and the result was as delicious as it was entertaining. The ambiance was made even better by live music from "Van Django," an incredible violin and guitar duo. Their lively and romantic performance elevated the evening to something truly magical. Croquette Brasserie is a gem we can’t wait to visit again!“

“I love this place. Kind staff amazing food. Amazing service. One of the few places where you always feel welcome.“

“The best wings EVER. Really get some on July 2nd“

“Went to Frankie's for the first time last night before Lion King , it was fantastic. Good service by Neil, he gave excellent recommendations from the menu. The restaurant was clean, and the food was amazing. Highly recommend“

“Definitely a must-visit, cozy Greek restaurant in the heart of the old Greek neighborhood in Kitsilano. The food was full of authentic Mediterranean flavors, bringing back wonderful memories. The sea bass was outstanding, fresh and flavorful as if it came straight from the Mediterranean. We also enjoyed perfectly fried atherines and gavros, along with a crisp, finely chopped lettuce salad that was incredibly refreshing. The tiganopsomo, loaded with cheese and served with a side of creamy taramosalata, was another highlight. From the meat selection, the pancettas, juicy keftedakia, and were absolutely delicious. The grilled octopus paired beautifully with a glass of ouzo to finish the meal.

They offer an impressive selection of authentic Greek wines, but this time we opted for Aperol spritzes, which were light and refreshing. Next time, I am looking forward to trying their wine selection along with their famous meat platter.

Service was warm, genuine, and friendly, making me feel like I was back in Greece.

A true gem in Vancouver. 5/5 stars without a doubt.“

“I really loved the appetizers, we ordered several so we could try everything, and they were excellent. The mains were good, but honestly a bit expensive for what they were. The service was friendly and attentive.
The place has a slightly bougie vibe, definitely the kind of spot where people like to be seen, but it’s still a nice place to enjoy a cocktail and a few small plates.“

“Fabulous place, great staff, great service, Thank you“

“Excellent service, relaxed ambience, and amazing food! What more could one ask for?“

“Top tier experience! We came for a birthday and had a sublime time. It felt like we had the restaurant to ourselves and we really adored the cute homie atmosphere. Great weekday deals on wine and meals. All in all, would be happy to be back!“

“I was here a couple of weekends ago with my neighbours.
The dinner was amazing and the food was prepared perfectly.
I love, let me repeat that ..I LOVE. Carbonara and the carbonara here is perfect.
You think that’s not to big, but the bowl is deep and when your done trust me, your done.
The waitress whose name I did get but now it evades me was charming.
If i remember correctly she was from Brazil,
She was the perfect hostess.
I would go here if you want a qual dining experience.“

“Killer drinks - classics and some really unique ones. All nicely balanced and properly mixed (love Satoshi's real deal Tokyo hard shake 👍🏼). Delish food, great drinks and a cosy and fun atmosphere. Always on point. A definite fav. 5/5“

“Very authentic Italian food. Great service. Good pricing. Nice atmosphere.Very good weekend brunch with a nice Italian version of Eggs Benedict.“

“Great food and service. I highly recommend the duck breast! Risotto is a second favorite. The Ora King Salmon Soba is a great appy as well.“

“What a great restaurant..came across it while shopping and enjoyed the happy hour. Great food, ambience and service.“

“Came in for a happy hour meal and it was a pretty good experience. The salad and meatballs were satisfying, with good portions for the price. Service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere had a modern yet comfortable feel. A solid spot to enjoy Italian dishes, especially if you’re taking advantage of their happy hour.“

“We were in Vancouver for the week visiting and this was our favorite place out of anywhere we stopped. So calm and chill inside, 10/10 playlist (PLEASE drop the Spotify link), and a great bartender and drinks. I really couldn’t recommend it more if you want a nice chill place for a couple drinks and you’re tired of the other loud bars.“

“We had a Celebration of Life in the event room upstairs.
When we came to check the venue out they were very accommodating . Details were all worked out to our satisfaction.
On our day, I can't say enough about the staff. Everything was ready and they were very efficient, polite and friendly.
The food was fantastic.
All in all, I would highly recommend this venue for any kind of get together you may be planning.“

“My boyfriend an I were looking for a place to dine while walking around Gastown when we came across Al Porto. We entered and where greeted by the waiter SIXTO. He made us feel very welcomed and took care of us. We had the lasagna which was excellent and the calamari which we found to be very chewy and tough. Not properly prepared. We ordered Molson Canadian beer and where told that we don’t carry it. SIXTO recommended we try The Kokanee beer which was comparable. We where offered the dessert menu but declined and had another Kokanee. Overall experience was good with exceptional service from our waiter. Will defiantly return to this restaurant next time we are visiting Vancouver.“

“I’ve been coming to this place for a long time for sushi lunch, and the flavor is always delicious and satisfying.

Most of the time, I order the bento box with chicken and salmon sushi—it’s amazing. Highly recommended!“
