    Great vibe! The food was 5/5. We both had the 3 set course and it was fabulous. We were so full, we had to take our dessert home.. which was the salted caramel cheesecake and I would highly recommend! Even after the walk to our hotel, it was still delicious. Drinks are just as great. It was 2 birthdays and complimentary champagne was brought for the table which was a great touch! Our server & food runner were also really wonderful. Will be back!

    It was our wedding anniversary Sunday brunch. Service was great and they provided us with glasses of champagne and a candle lit cake complimentary. Was a nice surprise. Food was good nothing to complain and the selection was nice much better than other breakfast buffets we have been to. Just a bit pricey but what can you expect, it’s in the Fairmont!

    We came to grab some breakfast before our engagement shoot but it was time to be served lunch but our waitress let us order breakfast at last minute. Our host also asked us what our plans were for the day and once we brought up our engagement, he gave us celebratory mimosas to get through the the morning. Food tasted amazing! Ambience and service was perfect! We can’t wait to be back.

    It took the hostess way too long to attend to us. She was helping another couple but they went over the entire menu at the front desk and she didn’t acknowledge our party at all. After she sat the couple she slowly returned and then left to make sure our table was ready even though we were close to waiting 10 min. Then we were sat way in the back corner. I asked her to move as I made this reservation awhile ago and she simply said” No, there’s no service there”. I was unhappy with our table and when our server came he very happily moved us to a more desirable table. After we were moved we had a lovely lunch with great service. The washrooms were also very dirty with paper towel all over the place and garbage cans so full that the garbage was coming out of the top.

    Service was bad. Made it feel like we weren’t welcomed with our toddler. Coffee was cold, waitress messed up our daughters order took 20 minutes to get it fixed only after I went up to our waitress twice to get her meal fixed (how hard was it to get a kids bacon and egg breakfast.. first time we got an egg.. then they tried to give us a side of bacon.. finally we got it right) By then she had eaten from our meals in order to avoid a hungry toddler getting grumpy.

    Notch8Responded on February 14, 2023Hi Mary, Thank you for your review! We are glad that your family had a great time at Notch8 and enjoyed the prime rib dinner as it is one of our best sellers on the menu.

    DINE OUT BEWARE!!!! DONT COME HERE!! You get a slice of duck spam as appetizer. The main course schnitzel is worse than chicken mcnuggets, with no dipping sauce. If you want deep fried pork chop, go get Taiwanese paigu mien, or Japanese katsudon. The dessert mango tart tastes like it's from Costco. Not worth the calories.

    Parsnip soup was interesting but low on the flavour scale. Arctic Char came out cold and the Schnitzel was dry. We sent the fish back and they actually just reheated it, replated it and brought the very same piece back, lying the skin back on top. I was pretty shocked. Moreover, the taste was bland like it had been boiled with zero flavouring. That said, the Manager came over immediately and apologized. They brought us Prosecco as compensation but I was stunned that it was such a low quality meal. Dine Out Vancouver menu or not, I had expected higher quality flavour. Sadly, we won’t be back despite the gorgeous decor, lovely booth seating and stellar live music.

    Notch8Responded on February 1, 2023I am sorry to hear that your experience with us here at Notch8 was not the best.

    The device was a bit slow And when we arrived, the host told us they’re getting our table ready! We thought a table should be ready if we made reservations! And it took time about 25 mins to get our water and longer to take our orders ! But the waitress was trying her best and we had a good time regardless !

    my appointment was for Dine Out Vancouver. I guess because of the DOV menu is so cheap, I got assigned a table that's at a corner. I had a chance to walk to the bathroom and realized there were so many empty tables insides, and my table was at the worst corner at the restaurant. Suggest Notch 8 please do not join DOV if your restaurant is going to treat your customers in this way. Pretty disappointed.

    We participated in the Dine Out Vancouver festival and we’re excited to try Notch8. My husband is gluten allergic so it was exciting to see a higher-end menu offered with gluten free options. Unfortunately, they weren’t substituted with anything else - if there was a gluten component to a dish, it was just removed (ie: the cheese bread topping on the parsnip soup) so it ended up taking away from the overall flsvor experience of the dishes.

    We dined at Notch8 in the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver on a Tuesday night before our show at the QE theatre. Our server, Alex, was amazing! He was attentive, friendly and helped us select the perfect dinner from the menu. The 3 course pre-fix menu was a great choice. The French Onion soup was amongst the best we have ever had. We enjoyed the prime rib dinner with very tender beef perfectly prepared at medium rare, a giant Yorkshire pudding, creamy rich mashed potatoes and broccolini. We chose the salted caramel cheesecake for dessert. All courses were delicious! We enjoyed our meal listening to the live performer who was very talented. We highly recommend dining at Notch8!
