Notch8

We experienced Notch8 both as a restaurant and as a bar - and the two were rather different experiences. We had previously enjoyed the bar, but this time, our servers mostly ignored us, delivered incredibly weak cocktails, and gave me the wrong wine. By sharp contrast, our server at dinner was attentive, gave excellent reccomendations, and never left us wanting. We would come back based upon our seated dinner.

Food was healthy and delicious , beautiful decor, nice atmosphere for friends, business associates, client lunch

Delicious treat. I’d recommend for special occasions.

Service was fantastic. Very attentative and accomodating. Food was fresh and delicious. Comfortable seating

Loved the food. The outdoorsy theme was pretty cool. Very fresh tasting dishes. Most flavor is in the starters for sure though. Booze is super expensive though!

The food is fantastic. However, there is a sports bar feel in the back of the restaurant that doesn't mix with the fine dining. However, the food! Service was attentive and professionalism was high.

Always an amazing experience. We always go here for special occasions with family. Staffs are always friendly and very accommodating. Thank you everyone for making our day extra special!!

I absolutely love this for Sunday brunch. Have been three times in the last three months. My only concern would be consistency in the food. I have ordered the same breakfast all three times but the third time out it was quite different than the first two times. I did mention it to the waiter but was told that it depended on the chef.

Sunday branch buffet is amazing. Great selection, beautiful presentation

Excellent in all aspects, but for one at-the-end bad note. Despite being one of Vancouver's prime places to dine, the hotel seems to be locked in the past concerning paying bills. No machine drought to the table. The server took my card off somewhere to process my payment. No server should, in 2018, take a client`s card away from the table. This should never happen, for the obvious reason of preventing card skimming. The next time I go there, I`m going to feel obliged to carry a wad of bills. Wake up. Hotel Vancouver, this is a new century! Every coffee shop knows better.

A love.y place to dine while visiting Vancouver. Servers were very accommodating and efficient. Food was delicious and presented nicely.

The grilled cheese and the clubhouse are impressive

No service whatsoever. Had to keep trying to get ahold of a server (we were a table of 5 ladies for a business lunch). However, 3 tables of business lunch for men had server having their meals out to them before we even ordered. Salmon was forgotten on a salad - we never saw it - nor the server no matter how we tried. Food was good, ambience was great but service was terribly lacking. Took me a few tries to get someone over to the table to pay the bill.

The elk dwas very tasty and the service was great. Highly recommend!

Too noisy.The restaurant has hired a disc jockey and the noise level was unsatisfactory.

nobody told us breakfast was closed at 10:30 am and it's not written anywhere either... so we had to rush to get enough food while they were cleaning out right under our plates, not cool
average food, good fruit juices/teas

Good food, nice place! Service was okay. The server seemed to be in a bad mood. Get the honey bread, it’s really good!

Exceptional service! Attentive, not too pretentious but just right! Food presentation is a wow! And tastes good too. Would definitely visit again

Great food, unique dish names. A bit pricey compared to other restaurants around.

Second time there. First time for lunch. Cauliflower soup was yummy. Garden salad was really delicious, fresh and hardy. Husband had delicious prime rib sandwich from carvery with onion rings. Wish they had discount for valet parking when dining in.

Had a wonderful dinner at Notch 8. Our server was very nice and the food was great. Only hiccup that evening was a very minor mistake with my brother’s order. He ordered a French Onion soup for starters but got a Seasar Salad instead. We didn’t bother to complain because it was minor plus our server was nice. We really enjoyed the elk and the bison. They were perfectly cooked and so tender. It’s a nice place to have a nice quiet dinner. No complaints.

overall is good

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Memorable n probably the best meal I’ve ever had. Had the honey wheat bread , n grilled bison. Was beyond great! Nice Ambiance too!

We stayed 25 mins waiting for somebody attend us. there was not anybody to receivebthe

Best prime rib ever! Excellent service. A bit pricey, but very nice for a special occasion.

Love it, I will try again for sure in summer. Next time, I would definitely love to try the Great British Tea Party there.

Food was good, environment is top notch. The biggest drawback is the service. The server had no welcoming attitude. No smile, and no attentive service. I almost need to call the hotel front desk to get a server. My wife used to be a Fairmont platinum member. We really upset to see the service level going down quite a bit.

Service was excellent. Sarah, the waitress, was patient with me, as I arrived from a cross continent business trip. I worked and ate a storm while waiting for other colleagues joined. Service was outstanding and the food was great. I had a pasta dish with wild boar and sausage. Odd but wonderful tasting combo. I highly recommend this restuarant.

Wonderful meal at Notch8. The staff were wonderful and very friendly. The food was a bit slow to come out, but the staff were quick to offer us complimentary desserts for the inconvenience. The prime rib was one of the best meals I have ever tasted. Thank you for the great experience.

Poor, slow service from a rather unfriendly server. Didn't enjoy the meal at all. Very strange fish dish floating in broth.

Very nice restaurant but food is not as good for its price. One is too salty and one is too plain.

We were surprised and disappointed to find that this restaurant is in the middle of the lobby of a busy hotel. It's open plan and feels like a place where a continental breakfast might be served. With entree prices hovering around $50 we expected something a lot more upscale. On the plus side, the food was very good (prime rib & wild boar) and the portions generous. Our waiter was fantastic and added a touch of class to an otherwise pedestrian room. The decor doesn't recommend it as a fine dinning experience but the prices are a little too steep for a casual dinner. Especially since the location is in the heart of a city rich in restaurant choices. You are literally a few steps away from other places offering magnificent high end pampering or delicious cheap & cheerful fare. Not sure what "notch" Notch8 is trying to fill.

Our server Stella was very nice! Food was delicious!

I went to Notch8 to get a buffet breakfast rather than using the restaurant at my hotel which had no buffet. I much prefer to have a little bit of everything for breakfast rather than just a plate of fruit or a big basket of bakery goods. The quality and choice at Notch8 was excellent and the staff were very helpful.

everything is good. but price is a little bit high

Three of my colleagues ordered the feature prawns crab and pink scallop pasta. However neither of them had any crab in their dish.....

Food was so amazing, service was good.
Such a peaceful place to dine.

Was expecting more from a top shelf restaurant. The food and drinks were on par with fine dining in Vancouver however the layout and ambiance was disjointed and pretty loud. The service was ok at best. The server did not know the difference between elk and bison...two signature meals on their menu. Water was never refilled and it was almost awkward when she did come by the table. More "casual fine dining", not top shelf fine dining.

Notch8 was truly TOP NOTCH. The whole group thoroughly enjoyed!

I purposely chose to make reservations to eat breakfast at 1030 to avoid the 1130 buffet as we like a la cart. The server was lovely but we felt we were forgotten at times. It took over an hour to get our meals. My husband’s eggs benny was luke warm and my daughter in law’s poached eggs were hard. We were on a timeline so didn’t complain.
For a prestigious hotel, I was underwhelmed.
