Closed - Will re-open as DB Bistro Moderne under the international banner of chef Daniel Boulud. When I ate at Feenie's I was unimpressed with the value, but the food was good and presumably gave a bit of the style of the fancy sister restaurant next door. Unclear what the change post-Feenie will produce - but I expect extremely high prices given the money that must have been promised to lure in Daniel Boulud.

Food: caesar was typical. my b/f had the soup and he said it was very good. veal cheeks were soo good, but soo small!! there were 2 pieces the size of a butter clam on a bed of mash potatoes...as the filler of course. my b/f had the pasta which he said was tasty and was a bit more filling. my banana cupcake had waaaay too much cream...kind of tasted like carrot cake too. lemon tart was too sour for my liking. i came in expecting portions to be small b/c i heard their reg menu is small to begin with, but very tasty! my b/f likes the burger b/c it's very lean and the fries non greasy.

Service: our server was a little clumsy w/ the cutlery. for fine dining i thought they wouldve known who ordered what when food was brought out instead of making us put up our hands when they announced the dish.

Ambiance: very cozy and comfortable. we were seated in what looked like could convert to a private room, therefore, it was not as loud as the general floor which we appreciated. great for intimate dates.

Overall: despite the small portions i wouldnt mind giving the regular menu a try still based in other rave reviews. i'll just have to remember not to skip lunch that day!

Well, some of the negative reviews on this site nearly kept my wife and I from enjoying an excellent meal.
A friend gave us her Dine Out Vancouver reservation, and we were excited to try this restaurant. Feenie's is a loud, dark, and very modern dining experience. We were squeezed into a table for two in a row of such tables, scarcely a foot apart. The loud music pumping overhead actually helped make things more private, as you couldn't hear much beyond your table.
I started with the Caesar salad, and my wife with the soup, butternut squash, which she loved. My salad was a decent size, filling an eight inch salad plate.
For entrées, a nice piece of Arctic Char for her, and the braised short rib for me. The short rib was flavourful, and fell apart using only my fork. It was served on mashed potatoes and glazed carrots, and the portion sizes were perfect.
We would rarely order dessert, but the lemon tart with honey ice cream and citrus, and the white chocolate brownie were wonderful.
Our server was attentive, and the we were never left too long between courses.
Overall, it was great opportunity to sample a variety of flavours in pleasant surroundings.
I would definitely consider Feenie's the next time my pretentious sister from San Francisco is in town!

Food: I think small portions are the theme of this place. The smoked salmon consisted of 2 uber transparent sheets of salmon. Casear salads were very ordinary - only 3-4 croutons a serving though! Arctic char was tasty but so small I could finish it in 3 bites - wouldn't have been so bad if they had provided enough filler but I only received a few cubes of potatoes and 5 half sized string beans. Veal cheeks were by far the smallest portions I've ever seen - two smalls pieces concealed under a bunch of baby greens and on a scoop of mashed potato. My dining compadre finished it in under 5 minutes because it was so small. Taste was overall quite good but the portions were much too small - we ate again immediately afterwards at Angel Cafe (ha!). Overly large plates made the food appear even smaller. Drinks expensive for alcohol content.

Service: About the same as a BP. There was a tv in our section but the server said the manager didn't allow us to turn it on b/c it was only for presentation sakes. I was confused. Server dropped utensil on the table. A variety of servers helped us - no intimacy whatsoever.

Ambiance: Great looking restaurant - nice and earthy and a great place to chat. Loved the darker ambiance and candlelight.

Overall, I won't be returning to this restaurant for a normal meal if this is what they served for DOV - I thought DOV was used to attract diners to their normal menu but Feenie's failed miserably in this respect. Would warn others to stay away as well - there are so many other great restaurants that would give you the same quality of food but at greater quantities and/or lesser price.

Small place, good bread while we were waiting for our meal. I ordered the Sheperd's pie and it was a disaster. It was so heavy that I only finished 1/2. My friends ordered the Ahi tuna sandwich and mushroom appy. The portion was so small that I it was a total rip off! Why the so-called fancy restaurants always serve extremely small portion of food??

This place is WAY over price for what the food is really. It is overrated in my opinion and probably a tourist traped due to the name of the restaurant. The only great thing about this miniature restaurant is the ambiance, the decor and the setting. I had the Cesar salad which was good but for 3 sleves of lettuce with a asking price of $10: this was a real rip off. The entree: I try the famous Burger at $16 which beyong: Failed to impress me: I had to send it back due to meat that was undercooked: When I received it back it was the same with a little improvement but to fing my bread soak in the red blood from the burger who was still undercooked: Everybody have to know that burger meat need to be cooked throuthly: well over there they don't apparently. Barely eat it: It was disgusting. My husband had the Rigatoni for $19 which was an heavy meal made with rich food to enhance flavour I assume. You are better of to go to L'Artista Restaurante if you which to have great pasta at a decent price. For the Burger, there is a place call Burger etc. in Burnaby and it is much better at the friendly price. Expected the unexpected at Feenie's: I would definetly not recommend at all. This place is a money grab.

I've been to Feenie's twice and I can't wait to go back. Each time I say I'm going to get the burger but I end up getting something else because the size of it is intimidating. The guests that I'm with did order the burger and said it was delicious and I must agree with the tasting I had. The caeser salad is perfect and she short ribs melted like butter. The fries are crisp and dip a perfect match.

I came here with my SO a few days ago cuz he was craving a poutine and I heard Feenies makes a mean poutine but I was a bit dissappointed; it sure was huge but there was't enough cheesy and all the gravy was drenched ontop but nothing on the bottom, very dry and boring fries after we finished the top half. For mains we had 'The best burger in Vancouver' which i think they should rethink hyping such an average burger, it was good, but no where near the best, especailly at 16 a pop. Other main was Beef Dip, amusing to see a special version of an ordinary beef dip, had cheese it in, was greasy but good. Room was very nice and special looking & our server was solid but nothing spectacular. Next time i might want to try the feenie weenie but i'm in no rush to come back here yet.

My wife and I finally decided to try the famous Feenie Burger, I had big exectations after all the hype about it being the best burger in Vancouver.

The room is nice although a little cold for me, we sat on the patio it was around 3:00 pm and there were about 10 people there.

Well, we both ordered the burger, and although it was okay, it was not nearly as good as I was expecting the bun was fresh and the toppings were good expect for the small bit of regular bacon that was cooked hours ago, (for $16.00 bucks throw a slice of fresh pancetta or procuitto on it) but the patty was pretty bland, I thought it was under seasoned and although they state that they cook it medium mine was closer to well done, the fries were good and presented nicely in a silver cone, but the whole thing is not worth $16.00.

The service was a little slack as well I think we caught them in the middle of a shift change as our servers changed half way through and niether one was all that friendly

Overall I'm sure that the high end items are done well especially in lumiere and this experience wont keep me from trying it one day but I think there are better burgers out there for much more reasonable prices

Visited with a friend for a lunch one day. We didn't come in with extremely high expectations but we were still left feeling disappointed.

The food, to start, was absolutely terrible. We both tried the foie gras burger after drooling at the idea of mixing our two favorite foods - foie gras and beef. However, it came out terrible. The burger was a greasy nightmare. Grease dripped right through the burger and all over us. Our napkins were drenched by the end of the ordeal.
We also tried the fries - one a regular serving and the other a poutine. The fries were just as greasy and soggy as the burger. The poutine lacked flavour. Even the lowly New York Fries serves up a better serving of potatoes at a fraction of the cost.

The service was equally as bad. The server seemed like he wanted to be somewhere else and wasn't all too attentive.

Overall, a bad experience. We won't be returning any time soon.
