Best Steak Restaurants in Gastown

We ordered our favourite white creamy clam chowder soup to start. I specifically asked the server to please make sure the clam chowder is hot vs warm as we've had that unfortunate experience before. Well, the soup came out barely hot. A slight disappointment. We had a margarita pizza with mushrooms for our main dish, along with yam fries and four prawn sushi tacos. The tacos were alright. Once again I told the server to please make sure that the yam fries are light on the salt. They came out saltier than ever. A disappointment for sure. They did switch the yam fries to my original request after a little bit. Overall it was a good experience. More emphasis should be put into the requests of the guests though. Hopefully this changes for the better. 🙂

A nice, fancy restaurant for a sit down dinner or special event. Service was a little over the top, but the meal was excellent and the ambiance is quite posh - despite the creepy paintings on the walls. Overall a nice experience!

Our server , Sean, really helped to make the experience. Great venue and great all round.

What a wonderful experience at Joe Fortes—no wonder it’s an institution! We unfortunately kept experiencing delays beyond our control and had to move our booking no less than 3 times within the hour and they were so, so gracious about it. Our server, Norm, was fantastic, and gave us excellent recommendations! The food was perfection-favorites were the calamari, lobster bisque, sablefish, arctic char, and mussels (basically everything we ordered; and the pavlova (my own baking specialty) and carrot cake were perfectly delectable! I will need to come by every time I visit (I’m from California). Make sure you make reservations as they get busy!

My wife and I recently celebrated our anniversary, and they surprised us with a beautifully designed dessert that added a special touch to our celebration. The dessert was not only visually stunning but also delicious, making the evening truly memorable.
