Five Sails Restaurant

Chef and Gerry did an outstanding job. The city is going to miss them when they go off to their next projects.

It was my wife’s birthday and it brought back all the happy years she was associated with the restaurant and hotel.

Chef set a very high standard which I am the Five Sails will maintain.

Lobster bisque and soufflé is a must order! Service was amazing

I had a lovely birthday. The service was impeccable and the food was wonderful. Thank you for a terrific time. Emily

Flawless dining experience, we absolutely enjoyed our dinner at Pan Pacific Hotel Vancouver.

We have concluded a conference we attend in Vancouver every year by enjoying our final dinner at Five Sails. Everything about this restaurant is 5 stars, including all the staff, the food and the ambiance! Would highly recommend and can’t wait to see everyone again next year!!!

Aniversario

The service was great! The staff were very friendly, respectful, and patient. They brought extra treats for us since it was my wife and I’s 25th anniversary! The food was great as well. I have never had a steak more tender than the one at 5 sales! Highly recommend checking this restaurant out.

They were very attentive to a serious food allergy, and produced outstanding and beautiful food that my friend could enjoy. They accommodated our large party with grace, and made it easy to host a reunion of friends. The quiet, refined atmosphere was perfect for convivial conversation. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

As always a delightful experience. Five Sails made Vancouver better & the restaurant will be greatly missed!

Great experience overall with fast service! The dishes were very delicious and presentation was splendid! Thank you and will be back again.

Excellent food and service as always. Very sad to hear that Gerry and Ernie are retiring at the end of the year. They will be missed!

Absolutely outstanding. From the minute we sat down to the minute we left, the staff at Five Sails was incredible. The food was amazing and the view is to die for. I would recommend Five Sails to anyone and everyone. 10/10.

Beautiful food, tasted amazing, great staff. Definitely would recommend to others!

It was my wife’s birthday so I asked them to provide a cake for her. But instead of a cake they brought a tiny/super small cake with a small candle.
Also it was so funny, they asked us to order dessert even before they brought the tiny cake just because of they wanted to be sure that we order dessert. It was super cheap.
We orders appetizer and main course and both of them were OK.
You can find much better place with the same price.
I really really don’t recommend this place.

Nothing to write home about. The food is old fashion.

Amazing dining experience. Friendly professional staff and world class cuisine

Impeccable service. Friendly greeting from hostess.
Waiter was outstanding. Little extras like appetizers and petit fours made an amazing meal even more memorable.
Thank you for a great evening!

Amazing service and ambiance - very quiet and intimate. Food was pretty great, service time was a bit slow but very attentive and personalized. Good value for an upscale French fine-dining experience, I would come back for special occasions!

Beautiful view from our table; excellent, personable, and informative service throughout the meal;
delicious food. Every dish was also a feast for the eyes!

Everything about this restaurant is amazing; from the beautiful waterfront location, the more than excellent service, and a very romantic atmosphere (if that’s what you are looking for; if not, the ambiance of the restaurant is also great for a business dinner or a night out with friends), this shining star of Vancouver’s nightlife met, and went beyond, all of our expectations.

While the prices may feel steep, the food is assuredly worth it: fine dining at its best!

Fantastic service and food! Highly recommend this restaurant for sure.

Absolutely amazing, SO delicious, impeccable in every aspect and what a beautiful view, this was one of thee best meals we have had in a long time.

Other than a noticeable lack of ketchup at the table, the evening was very pleasant: attentive service without obsequiousness, well balanced flavours, portions of sufficient size to eat from entree to desert without loosening the belt, and a peaceful atmosphere.
Prices for this quality of food and service are quite reasonable; one can spend much more for much less.

Delightful evening, everything we ordered was exquisitely prepared and delicious. Highly recommend the scallop appetizer, probably the best I’ve ever had. 2 large scallops perfectly prepared w complex flavors, perfect texture,. We arrive before sunset, great view of waterfront and lovely catching the sky change colors. attentive service, at times a bit formal. Perfect for special occasion.

Fabulous meal, very attentive service. Highly recommend.

You can’t beat Five Sails. We have made Five Sails our tradition for an annual sibling get together. This was our second year. Fabulous food, service and ambiance. We could talk and hear one another. Lastly, what a view!

One of the best meals of my life! The food delicious ,hot (they heat the plates !l) expertly timed once apps were finished plates were whisked away only to be replaced moments later with our entrees. I had the ravioli with hazelnut brown butter, smooth buttery ricotta/spinach filled with crispy hazelnuts , then the lamb rack and loin with whipped potatoes yum ! Finally go for the souffle for dessert (take a 25 min so order after app) they really nail the textures and flavor combinations. The view was spectacular the ambiance muted enough so as to have your company and the conversation take center stage. Service was prompt informative and just personable enough not to take away from the dinner. Just superb will be back!!

The restaurant occupies a large and rambling space, comfortable though not overly warm or inviting, with very nice views of the harbor from many tables. Service is extremely attentive and food is tasty but portions of some items were laughable even by fine dining standards. My fish entree was listed as including fingerling potatoes; there were three pieces of fingerling, each between 1 and 2 cm. in length. This struck me as silly and needlessly parsimonious. Everything we ordered was nicely prepared but those with hearty appetites may be disappointed.

Nice quiet high-end resteraunt with views.. Wait staff very accommodating and friendly. Food had good flavors. Wine was great.

Wish we had known about this restaurant before. It was just wonderful. We could have conversations and visit with our dinner guests. Food was delicious and day the staff was great. Lovely location.
Hope the next owners can keep it going.

The food was very good and we had a great table by the window. The wait staff was very attentive but it took nearly an hour for our order to arrive. Although the food was good, it was overpriced and their wine offerings were significantly overpriced...even by restaurant standards.

The service and view was perfect. The food was amazing. I was 100% satisfied. We celebrated our 10th year anniversary with my wife. I'm so happy with our decision. I strongly recommend this place.

We came here to celebrate our friend 40th bday. It’s my second time here for a special occasion. Love the the ambiance and service. They gave us a free appy which was a piece of lobster with a slice of orange and a cream of parsnip soup. So pretty and tasty. Food was very good. The only thing we didn’t quite like was the soufflé for our dessert. I haven’t had it before so not sure what it was supposed to be like but it was quite eggy and wasn’t as fluffy as I would imagine it to be.

Would come back for special occasions.

Lovely dinner celebrating anniversary
Good food and great
Recommendations from staff

Superb. Great ambiance fantastic view. Service and food first class.

Simply the best in every way......... a delightful place to dine!

It was our 42nd anniversary and we were looking for somewhere memorable. Man, we found it at Five Sails!

The view was beautiful—an inner harbour view to the north, sea planes coming & going, ferries, cruise ships, birds, dramatic mountains, serene clouds, and the glinting windows of north Vancouver as the sun set.

Then the food was excellent. My wife ordered tje lamb, I the beef, and they graciously gifted us the most delicious soup I have had in decades—'celeriac'—which was like a cream of mushroom with celery and delicate spices. This was accompanied by a small tasty tuna sashimi.

My wife enjoyed her red wine selection and I had a smooth amber ale.

We finished with the soufflé & the 20yr old tawny port...WOW. They were also kind enough to bring us a couple of rounds of exquisite fudge squares until we stopped them!

I am so sad to learn that this hard-working husband & wife team who created this restaurant will be retiring and shutting this wonderful place down after more than three decades in business.

Our server was a warm and generous soul who has been with them from the beginning—an excellent server: attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and never intrusive or pushy—we wish them all the best as they move on to their next respective life-plans!

If you have the opportunity to dine at Five Sails—DO SO. I hope you find it as lovely an experience as we did. We hope to visit them once more before they close for good :)

Thank You, Five Sails, for a memorable anniversary dinner!

Excellent atmosphere with a unique view. Food is perfectly cooked with a delicious taste. Certainly a great dining experience.

This was the best meal me and my wife have ever had together. Everything was so perfect couldn't of been happier. Thought about never eating again lol. 5 star food and service at a reasonable price. It wasn't stuffy or uncomfortable. Highly recommend

Five Sails is a fancy, expensive restaurant but 100% is worth the coin. I am not a fancy person and sometimes I feel uncomfortable in fancy places, but myself and my wife were made to feel very welcome. The food and service was exceptional, and we were happy to spend our anniversary dinner there.
