Executive chef: Chef Rob Feenie

From the OpenTable editors: This French fine-dining icon has dazzled Vancouverites since 1983.

Expect Dover sole deboned tableside in an herb beurre blanc, steak tartare, and other classics served in an elegant white tablecloth dining room.

    Endive salad especially good with apples, roquefort and candied walnuts. Differences with the former Le Crocodile: menu is more limited, although duck and dover sole are there and apple tart and profiteroles with chocolate sauce, but no daily list of specials, no shoestring frites, no chocolate crocodiles at the end of meal, no crepes suzette or Grand Marnier souffle. But the latter items are costly and time consuming to prepare, from another era. Other restaurants don't have those either. Maybe in France--but maybe not even there. Very long wait to place dessert order and a long wait to receive it for sone reason.

    We really enjoyed the Tasting Menu this weekend on Saturday evening and opted to included the Wine Pairings to accompany the meal. It was a fantastic decision to make and the meal; including the choice of wines for each course and the service was informative and thoughtful. It was a little loud in the room to really hear each of the descriptions of both the dishes and the wines so I had to beg-your-pardon for a repeat a few times. We were the early seating so by 8:15pm it was much more loud in the room so I'm glad we were a earlier to dine and better hear each other and our service staff members. And I asked for the Wine choices to be given to me as they were not noted on anything to take-away and learn from the wine experience paired with the Tasting Menu courses, so the wine host wrote them down for me to take home. A slip of paper with the Menu and the Wine choices on a small menu (like inside the restaurant menu used) to be able to take home is probably a good idea to have for interested guests. All was deelish though. Very special, indeed.

    I had a reservation at 7:15 PM, and upon arrival, we were asked to wait about 10 minutes. The restaurant was courteous and offered my friend and me a glass of champagne, which was a nice gesture. The ambiance was pleasant, but unfortunately, our server did not meet expectations. He spoke very softly and seemed to direct most of his attention to my friend while barely acknowledging me. After finishing our appetizers, we waited 40 minutes for the main course, and when we asked about it, he simply mentioned there were still four orders ahead of us without much reassurance. Our table had noticeable breadcrumbs and spills, yet he never placed a fresh napkin or cleaned it properly. In a high-end restaurant with such premium pricing, it was disappointing to have to ask another server to refresh our table setting. His demeanor felt indifferent, with no smile, almost as if we were an inconvenience. Additionally, the restaurant was quite noisy, making the overall experience less enjoyable. While the atmosphere and initial hospitality were nice, the service left much to be desired.

    It has been decades since our last dining experience at Le Crocodile. We were not disappointed, the service was impeccable. For the meal we had the tasting menu and the tuna starter and trout mid were over the top, with the tastes so nuanced and complex. Dessert was also a highlight. Definitely, ordering the tasting menu was the way to go.

    We have tried to go to a different French restaurant for our anniversaries. Last night, for our fiftieth, we went back to Le Crocodile. The food was amazing. The service was outstanding. The place was full and loud. Maybe too loud for us old folks but the food made up for it. We did the tasting menu with the wine pairings. Each course was outstanding Each pairing was a unique experience. Mr Feenie came and sat for a moment with us twice and we were graced with some extra appies. It made for a memorable evening.
