Restaurants near Shangri-La Hotel Vancouver

The food and service was excellent. Lots of people so quite noisy, or is that me getting old. I would certainly recommend.

Hy’s Steakhouse has long been a go-to for exceptional dining in Vancouver, and our recent experience reaffirmed why it remains one of the city’s finest. The food was, as always, truly outstanding. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and seasoned with care. You simply won’t find a better steak anywhere in Vancouver. Watching the tableside preparation of Caesar salad, Steak Diane, and Bananas Foster added a delightful, old-school charm to our evening, making it a true culinary treat. However, as much as we’ve come to expect flawless service from Hy’s, our visit was met with some uncharacteristic bumps. There was a large party upstairs, and it seemed to have thrown the staff slightly off their usual game. Cocktails were delayed, and one of our main dishes was overcooked—something very rare for Hy’s. But, as we all know, even the finest establishments can have an off night, and it’s how they recover that truly defines them. In this case, the team at Hy’s handled everything with the utmost professionalism. Our server was attentive, and the leadership quickly rectified the issues, ensuring that we were well taken care of. They went above and beyond to make sure our celebration was not just saved, but transformed into a memorable experience. What could have been a letdown was instead turned around thanks to their attention to detail and commitment to exceptional customer service. Our compliments to the chef, our server, and the entire team for making what was meant to be a special birthday dinner an evening to remember. We hadn’t been to Hy’s in years, and this experience has guaranteed we’ll be back sooner rather than later.

The food was great, the server was on top of it! I did feel, however, that we waited longer than we would’ve liked for our main meal. There was 10 of us so I understand it was a big party. Nonetheless, the keg never disappoints! Everyone had a great time. Thank you for helping me celebrate my 53rd birthday!

We can understand why Joe Forte’s is a solid staple of the Vancouver restaurant scene! Its upscale without being snobbish or stuffy, and you feel comfortable either dressed up or casual. I’m glad we went while in town. The front desk clerk at the Westin who recommended it said it was his absolute favorite restaurant! I can understand why!

The food is remarkable and loved everything we ordered: mixed greens salad, tomatoes with buratta cheese, 100 layer ravioli, & veal tongue, unique and beautifully balanced flavors. It’s like a cerebral foodie experience. Our server was delightful. Some sharing plates were rather expensive, but we thoroughly enjoyed our meal! Thank you!
