Best Historic Restaurants in Vancouver

I don’t normally write reviews but my husband and I had such a great time. I remembered this place from about 16 years ago when my grandma took me when I was 12. I remembered enjoying the pizza a lot and figured my husband and I would enjoy that. We ended up getting the Spaghetti, Beef Cheek dish, Rosemary and Sage focaccia w/ olive oil, chocolate mousse, and lemon soufflé. We were embarrassed that we cleaned each plate, but it was worth it. I’m not even sure how to explain how good everything tasted, but every dish had something to it that made it incredible. Our server was super sweet, she checked in with us at appropriate times, was very polite and made thoughtful chit chat with my husband who’s very extroverted. We had a cute little table w/ a candle and small flowers, and it was comfortable. I recommend wholeheartedly.

First time visiting Jake’s Famous Crawfish and on Valentines Day no less. It was a very warm and welcoming experience. The food was perfect, as was the ambiance and the wait staff. Initially, due to our understanding of the restaurants long history, we weren’t sure what to expect. Perhaps things were going to feel outdated to us. This, however, was not the case. If anything, the rich history adds to the wonderful mystique and overall experience. Excellent all around and we couldn’t be happier about our visit! Excited to return soon!

Excellent food, service and experience. The Valentine's Day Prix Fixe dinner offerings varied and scrumptious. We enjoyed the wine pairings with each course of the dinner.

Another enjoyable meal at the Heathman Tavern. We have been several times now, and it has been consistently good. I had the steak frites and my friend had the salmon and arugula and both were delicious. Our server was delightful and the drinks were good. I still miss the old Heathman Restaurant, but the Tavern is a worthy, less expensive, and more casual successor.

Love this place food is exceptional along with the service
