We made reservations for DOV here one night, as we entered we were greeted right away, although our table was not ready yet, we patiently waited shortly and was seated. We were offered water and bread to start, the bread was really good. We ordered off the DOV menu and got the wine pairing as well. To start we tried one of each of the appetizer offered, the organic green pea soup and marinated seared salmon with beat salad was heavenly. The salmon was slightly seared and it tasted really delicate. The green pea soup was creamy and the fresh mint foam accent the soup very nicely and it was really nice mixed with the soup. For entree we ordered the Coq Au Vin, red wine Chicken stew with fresh Fettuccini pasta it was so tasty it just made me keep eating it. The Coq Au Vin was really delicious! The other entree was the grilled AAA Alberta New York steak with creamy green peppercorn sauce, and house fries. The New York steak was grilled to perfection as requested and the peppercorn sauce was very delicious as well. The house fries was the best french fries I've ever had in a restaurant, very crispy and hot, it just hit the spot! For dessert we ordered the Mistral Mousse au Chocolatthe and warm Belgian Waffle with vanilla ice cream, dark chocolate sauce, the mousse was so airy and not too sweet it was the perfect way to end the night! The waffle still hot and crispy, it contrast nicely with the ice cream, fabulous desserts! The server was extremely experienced, pleasant and attentive. The wine pairing was divine. Great DOV experiece, best I've had in years!

We came to check out the $28 for 3 courses DOV menu, I started with the Caesars Salad, not bad for portion and taste, I am not a fan of olives and garlic in my salad, so I didn't bother touching them. The other appy to start was the cream of asparagus soup, which was very bland and watery. At the menu in front of the restaurant it clearly says the soup of the night was lobster clam chowder. For entree, paying $10 more, you may get the prime rib dinner. The medium rare prime rib I ordered tasted more like a medium, but was very tender. The au jus was very thick, almost like a beef gravy instead, the taste was not that good. The side vegetables were nicely steamed placed on a bed of mashed potatoes. The yorkshire pudding was good, it was the only item on the dish that I quite enjoyed. For dessert we had the dessert buffet, which was decent, everything seemed fresh and light. Service was not good or bad, it was okay. I will not come back to try the regular menu, the service was not great, food was average, and the ambiance was very dim and feels old and boring. Theres plenty of great restaurants out there, this restaurant at the Fairmont Hotel was a disappointment.

As we walked in from the parking lot, you see this house with glowing lights, it was very pretty inside the restaurant, it was dim, the interior decor was well done, the stars on the ceiling was beautiful. They had live music playing, the women had a beautiful voice, great ambiance!

The hostess greeted us as we entered, our waitress was not that experienced, she never smiled, didn't seem like she enjoyed working there, for a high end restaurant I would expect high end service but service did not meet the expectations. At one point I tried waving at the man in a suit to get our server, he looked at me but didn't even flinch. I just ended up waiting for my server to come. The chilled Dungeness crab cake with mango appetizer was really good, it was light and refreshing. However I did find pieces of crab shells in it, yikes! The seafood chowder was satisfying, there was some salmon oil or some really tasty fish oil drizzled on top and bits of fish eggs around it, and it was filled with bits of salmon, cod and mixed vegetables, at first it tasted kind of bland but then you slowly taste a kick of pepper, its really hard to describe this but the pepper taste comes and goes..very interesting! I really enjoyed the soup, very well done!

The coffee crusted ribeye steak was nice, it was grilled exactly to perfection and it was very tasty but the sides sucked, it came with mashed potatoes top with some kind of spice which was not that special and the so called deep fried onions were hard and chewy, it was so hard to eat!

The pork loin schnitzel which is like a Taiwanese or Japanese deep fried pork dish was crispy and tender, they give you a bowl of sesame seed to grind yourself which was fun and they put Tonkatsu sauce on top of it, this came with a bowl of rice and 3 small sides of veggies (spinach, chinese mushrooms in a spicy sauce and a pickle like dish) however I lost interest in this dish after the 3rd piece, maybe because we can eat this all the time in other restaurants or even some BBT houses where its only max $10 for an entire entree and it was not that special for again over $30 here.

Finally, dessert! We got the cheesecake spring roll, interesting mix however it tasted off, the spring roll was kind of salty and the warm cheese inside was kind of mushy and sweet, the strawberry, strawberry syrup, chocolate drizzle and whipped cream was a nice touch though.

There seemed like something was missing after dinner, perhaps we had high expectations and expected too much before coming after reading the raving reviews.

I had the most amazing salad ever at Finch's. The pear, blue brie, sliced pear, prosciutto, roasted walnuts, lettuce, oil & vinegar was heaven! It was so delicious that I was thinking about it for days! The service here was exquisite, they greet you with a very genuine friendly and warm smile when you order, they ask for your name and bring you the food while you sit and wait at your table. I think they do a great job here, they make everything fresh from the baguettes to salads, as well as the black current drink that I had ordered cold. I would definitely recommend Finch's for amazing food but do expect to wait for your food since they make it fresh for you!

It was impossible to get a table to The Market for the last 3 months, it was always fully booked, we finally got in tonight and was really anticipating what the hype was all about. We started off with 6 Kusshi oysters, all fresh and plump! I ordered the soy glazed short ribs with apple - jalapeno puree and rosemary crumbs, it was so delicious!! The flavors went really well together, I especially loved the rosemary crumbs and apple with the ribs, it was the perfect dish! It had great taste, presentation and texture! I also had some of the seared sirloin of beef with gingered mushrooms in a soy - caramel sauce, the beef was so tender and perfectly seared, the sauce was so creamy and it was really delicious with the beef. I was really impressed with the ingredients put together, it was all surprising and really well done! For dessert we had the warm chocolate cake with tahitian vanilla ice cream, the chocolate bursts out of the cake and it was really a wonderful way to end the night. What an exquisite dinner, I would definitely come back to try the other dishes on the menu!

If you want quality dim sum and exquisite service, Jade Seafood Restaurant is the ONLY place in Greater Vancouver!! The first time here was on a stat holiday, it was super packed however service was excellent, they were very polite and attentive. The rice roll with some kind of fish paste wrapped around bean curd is delicious, dip it in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce and peanut butter sauce WOW~ what an incredible dish! The shrimp dumpling is steamed to perfection, perfect size too, the shrimp is fresh and so yummy! The minced meat mini pot rich is really good too. The specialty dishes ranges from $7.99 and up but they are big enough for 3-4 people to share if you each order 1 and then some side dishes of dim sum. Excellent lunch, will definitely come back to try more dim sum dishes!

The smoked salmon pizza is really good, I also like the bottled peach juice they sell, its the most light but flavorful peach juice I've ever had. The nutella flat bread is also very creamy and good. The coffee is okay. I enjoy sitting outside most of the time, they have a nice open space outside! The service needs to improve though, they need to be be more genuine!

Service was good, we were greeted immediately as we entered, as soon as we sat down our waiter appeared! The vodka cocktail was weak though, did not enjoy my drink at all, kinda bland and too much ice! I really enjoyed the selections on the 2 tiers of seafood tower! The oysters were really good, jellyfish salad was okay, smoked salmon was average, scallops and mussels were good, shrimp was okay. I loved the plating and decor on the tiers! Not sure about my entree, had the Arctic Char, the mushrooms were way too salty to my liking, but I enjoyed the mini pearl pasta around the dish. The Beef Tenderloin was cooked well but nothing special, it came with a fresh baked macaroni and cheese with spinach, it was creamy and had a crunchy top. Dessert was good, cheesecake was light and sweet perfect to end the night, but I did not like the super sour mandarin in the cheese cake though, it was way off!! Yikes! Overall dinner was okay, guess after all the great reviews we expected more.

I was introduced by a friend to Taste of Vietnam, they have really good beef noodle soup, the soup base is perfect! My friend said its like having a traditional bowl of Pho in Vietnam! You really taste the beef and the onions in the soup, and not MSG unlike most Vietnamese restaurants. Don't expect your meal to be quick, you do have to wait awhile for your meal. They serve really good spring rolls too! Sometimes I'd even order 2 orders just cause they are so good. You also get complimentary fresh fruits for dessert! The restaurant looks like a little French cafe with paintings on the wall, and vases and flowers on each table, it all accents nicely with the quality of food. I would highly recommend A Taste of Vietnam for lunch or dinner!

I felt very comfortable walking into the restaurant, we were greeted with a warm and friendly smile by the hostess, we didn't make reservations but we got seated right away. Our server was very pleasant, he knew what he was doing and was attentive. The decor was beautiful, great view of the coal habour, it was one of the most memorable night, the sun was just setting and the sky was orange-red and you could see the sunset while we were dining. I was really impressed with every dish we ordered, we started off with a salmon sashimi, it came with 2 soy sauce, the sweet soy sauce was perfect for the sashimi, I enjoyed the regular soy sauce more for sushi. The deep fried chicken with special sauce is absolutely delicious!! It was the best chicken dish ever, you could taste the sweet flavor of the chicken breast, so juicy and tender and on top was some kind of sauce that I couldn't stop eating and I dipped everything with! The salmon aburi roll is incredible! Dessert was beautifully presented, we had the creme brulee pyramid, it was very creamy and light. The shortbread cookie worked really well with the creme brulee! I would highly recommend Miku, it is definitely a must try if you love Japanese fine dining!
