One of my favorite seafood restaurants anywhere!
They use fresh fish from renewable sources and a lot of local ingredients. Service is excellent and non-obtrusive. Nice clean decor with spacious windows and nice spacing between the tables inside.…More »

Came here during Dine Out Vancouver... what I liked was the mixed menu. You could order the $38 DOV menu or you could mix and match with a limited a la carte menu. Great atmosphere - nice music, louder but not instrusive, and good spacing of…More »
Came here for NYE and the service was a bit spotty that night from the server (forgot to list the evening specials until he came by again later, drinks ran low) but otherwise the experience was very good.
Food is still top notch - bread service comes…More »

I was a bit too excited about the complimentary valet on my first review so I'm dropping this to a 4*.
I've come back a couple more times since my initial review, both for private dinners and just regular restaurant dining. Service generally smooth…More »

Loved this place! Convenient Yaletown location, loud and trendy atmosphere, cool vibe and decor. (And for my token bathroom comment - theirs are average!)
Came here for my b-day this weekend and had a great time! Fabulous and attentive service from…More »
This has been on my to-go list since becoming a Vancouverite - whoa, I should have read the reviews about the location first since it's a little off the cleaned up stretch of Gastown... walked by 2 street people that looked like they were using, and…More »

Came here for Valentine's dinner with the hubby... I've heard rave reviews from foodie friends, Van Mag and Zagat, so my expectations were high.
Nice ambiance and option for private room dining as well. I liked that the chef (Pino Postararo) came…More »

It's been about 9 months since my last review and Gotham is still a 4*. Nice vibe, generally very smooth service, and steaks are great! Tried the New England clam chowder since I wasn't a fan of their salad previously - clam chowder is OK, but a…More »

It's been on my places to go list for a year now but now made it to the top with all the recent hype since it was named EnRoute's best new resto in 2009.
I agree with John K's comments - it was definitely good, but I suppose I was expecting a…More »

4.5 stars.
It's been a year since I've been here and what better way to ring in the new year than at one of my fave restos in Vancouver?! For New Years, West offered a special tasting menu for $120-ish or an a la carte menu.
Food is still amazing and…More »

I'm a huge Hawksworth fan from his years at West and was saving this for a special date since it opened this year, so hubby and I came here for our anniversary dinner.
Pros:
- Great decor, comfy chairs
- Interesting menu with unique pairings,…More »
It's been over a year since I was last here so it's time for an update... no change from last summer.
Menu is essentially the same as last time I was here... I went with the shrimp salad to start (very good), the apple glazed shortribs that hubby had…More »
3.5 stars for me.
I can't believe I'm giving a Jean-Georges restaurant this low of a score... friends…

Since I was back to Tojo's without the hubby (who doesn't like surprises), I had the chance to have the omakase with colleagues... I have to say that this is a 4 star place after putting another $130/person in Tojo's pocket.
The service is generally…More »
