    First off, I love the downtown location. There were lots of parking options nearby. Coming inside, the team was super friendly. The table in front of the fireplace was clearing up and we asked if we could get that one. They cleaned it off really fast and got us seated. I ordered an old fashioned and it was smooth! Very tasty. I got the happy hour burger and a plate of fries. The burger was cooked well and has a great seasoning. The toppings were nice and fresh. The French fries were fantastic, a perfect golden brown and were complimented by the aioli. Overall a great experience! Great service, great food, great location!

    Their martini kicks @$$!

    I'm surprised I haven't gotten a review in for Amaro's yet... my bad! This review is at least 3-years overdue! Amaro's is tucked away at 12th and Main in downtown Vancouver. We discovered it on a cold rainy night in 2022 and loved it from our first visit. We haven't often sat in the actual restaurant... we're usually found perched up in the bar. The bartenders are all very friendly and service is on-point. They make a mean martini. Their food is excellent, never had something I didn't like. I particularly the chicken sandwich and marsala. Both are solid options. Their house salad + a side of ranch slaps! They offer a reverse happy hour starting at 9pm, which we admittedly take advantage of quite often. This is one of the most consistent restaurants in all of Vancouver and comes highly recommended from us!

    Me and 2 friends came at about 7pm on Sunday for a cocktail, we walked in and immediately were greeted but the host said "can I help you?" Rather than "welcome, how many in your party" blah blah, which I thought was odd. Nonetheless we were seated at the bar, male bartender was attentive, and make excellent drinks! We will be back for food another day, but the drinks were good, the vibe was good, very relaxing and cozy feeling!

    Service was fantastic. Seated right away for dinner and staff was attentive. I got the new mezcal drink and it was very yummy. We also got the Brussel sprouts appetizer, tortilla soup, beat salad and ribs. The Mac n cheese (came was ribs) was great. The salad was very good was well! Great ambiance for dinner with my mom. We'll be back!

    Great vibes & service. I love the music playing here and the decor. Came here for happy hour and there's a nice selection of menu options- drinks and food.

    Another great experience here at their downtown location. Super cool decor and upscale vibe inside. Staff is super friendly, helpful and accommodating. Love how light and bright everything is inside. So many windows! A group of 10 of us stopped in for drinks after having dinner nearby. We asked to sit in the bar and luckily they had an open table available to accommodate all of us. This downtown location is much smaller than the one in Hazel Dell. It was a Saturday night around 7:30, so we were grateful they had room for us. We ordered a variety of their signature cocktails, including a couple non alcoholic ones for the drivers. All cocktails were delicious and had lovely presentations. My only gripe was someone (the bartender?) was messing with the chandelier lights while we were there and it made it odd when trying to have a conversation. I'm not completely sure what was going on. We really enjoyed our time here while catching up with friends. We'll definitely add this place to our monthly get together rotation!

    Service: 10/10 Environment: 9/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Food: 8/10 (See below) First time here: No Sixth to seventh time here...3rd in the last year or so. Bill before tip: $108 In looking back at my last review it seems I had almost the same meal as before (which I did not intend) & many of my observations there are still relevant, so I will only update here. I went with an appetizer which I rarely do alone as in almost never. The fritters were a fantastic melt in your mouth with a crispy outer texture delight & the honey butter was just sweet enough, but you want to make sure you have a nice amount on each bite. This time at the suggestion of my server, I upgraded to the prawns for a surf & turf which turned out to be a fantastic upsell as the prawns were the star of the show. I went with the seasoned over the blackened as I figured with a prepared steak lacking any real seasoning additions would be more of a grilled meaty taste & I wanted something to compliment. The prawns delivered, hands down. However, either through intention or ignorance someone or multiples there of have messed with the establishment's soda system. The Coke was flatter than 2 day old prosecco & lacked syrup. When I informed the server it was flat & maybe they should check their carbonation, they replaced it stating they believed the bag had just changed...however there wasn't a single carbonation bubble in either glass. I know people say 'I don't drink alone.' and I am one of those. This in fact may be the second time in my life I have & it is because they do serve one of my favorite wines, a riesling, which is a Sun Garden. If you like a sweet wine, then I would suggest this. They removed the dessert I had last time, which I think was a good move. When I originally sat down & considered the course of my meal I landed on either the creme brûlée or brownie with ice cream. When it came time for dessert, we discussed the various options and there were one or two which were not on the menu & this threw me. Not in a bad way, however I lost focus & forgot the creme brûlée was an option. I would have gone with the creme brûlée, but I was going from memory & since the server didn't mention it...oh well. I'm not blaming them, I simply went with the brownie & should not have. I didn't notice or remember it was a gluten free option which when it comes to baked goods mostly comprised of a gluten substance in historical recipes there is a huge difference in mouth feel & taste. The brownies are more of a fudge consistency & lack in chocolate flavor. Keep in mind I have a sweet tooth, which is one reason I like the Sun Garden mentioned above, and I barely made it through the first brownie. I resorted to the ice cream & the raspberry sauce. My suggestion would be to focus a bit more on the prawns & string beans first & then the steak & potatoes. The prawns & string beans are smaller in mass, so they will not retain their temperature as long; plus if you are going to take something home..steak & potatoes will reheat much better than leftover seafood. I hope you found this helpful & you can walk out of here for much cheaper than I did since I had a soda, glass of wine & a 3 course meal.

    We stopped here on are way home from Seattle. We were retired hungry and still had a few hours to drive. We ordered the herb chicken sandwich and shrimp linguine. The shrimp in the linguine were nice sized perfectly cooked. My sandwich came with french fries, which I have not had in a long time. They made a fresh pot of coffee for my husband. I think he drank the entire pot before we left. He said it was excellent coffee. Our waitress was very professional, attentive and overall a joy to have wait on us. Most servers are not up to par these days. They even brought us a free plate of homemade ricotta donuts, which were excellent. I would love to come back and try some of their elixir cocktails very unusual intriguing looking.

    I have been wanting to come here for some time and thankful my hubby and I made it as was not disappointed at all. They have parking in the same complex as a heads up! I sat at the bar while they prepped the outside table. The bartender was friendly and made the perfect whiskey lullaby. My dad got me hooked on Sazeracs and this was very similar and just as delicious. All the staff were wonderful and continued to check in on us. One of the longer time staff said hello and shared that Cecilia and Gustav's was under the same group, which I've been a long time patron of Gustav's and Cecilia just went to twice in a month and celebrated my birthday with friends. All have a different vibe and I am fond of all :) We ordered the ricotta and fig starter and had the citrus glazed salmon with potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The dips that came with were mouth watering. I'm typically not a fan of potatoes but I ate a good portion of them and polished off at home the following day. The Blueberry tres leches melts in your mouth! Amaro's cocktail and spirits will be bringing me back for sure...Needless to say I'm a big fan and will be bringing friends to Amaro's!

    Gluten-Free Review: So, my mom and I decided to hit up Amaro's Table after surviving a particularly stressful appointment, because nothing says "we survived" like lunch, right? I heard whispers of gluten-free options so in we went around noon, fully prepared to contend with the midweek lunch frenzy. We ended up at the bar area, wondering if we were about to witness a dramatic showdown between hungry patrons and their tummies. But fear not! We ordered the chicken herb sandwich on a gluten-free bun. And holy gluten-free goodness, it was yum! Normally, when you get a chicken sandwich, sometimes the chicken doesn't have much flavor, but this had such a delicious herb flavor but I was surprised at how good it was. Oh, and the fries were pretty good as well. The location is being worked on right now across the way but I still live it. Rest assured, I will be returning for more adventures in gluten free dining! Who knew stress could lead to such delightful culinary discoveries

    Such an awesome place. Very warm greeting, helpful service, delicious food and fantastic prices for afternoon happy hour (starts at 2 pm)! I had the soup of the day-white beans with kale and sausage- and a Caesar salad, with an Arnold Palmer (a beverage purchase is required to order food from the happy hour menu, but it doesn't have to be alcohol.) Let me start with the soup- SO good. Full flavor profile that was incredibly satisfying. The salad was very fresh and tasty. Oh, we also shared the corn fritters and I strongly recommend them. I know this may sound weird, but can I just say how much I appreciate a place that has a nice restroom?! Really attractive, well-stocked and very clean.

    Wow, wow, wow. Came into Amaro's after a flight into PDX and was blown away. Excellent, welcoming experience from Server/Bartender Alexis. Beautiful bar with a massive whiskey selection. Excellent whiskey sours (4 roses well!). Dinner was spectacular- steak sandwich, pretzel, and Mac and cheese. They threw a dessert on the house after hearing it was my first time in- again, spectacular. So great I came back the next 2 days. Food and atmosphere continued to exceed expectations and bartender Zach was more than knowledgeable/hospitable. Will be back next time I am in town-no doubt.

    Ask the Community - Amaro's Table - Downtown Vancouver

    Thinking of booking for new years eve, but one person in the party is Sober. Do you have or can you make some of your cocktails Non-Alcoholic? No NA options are listed on your cocktail menu.

    I don't work here but I know their bartenders will happily make up a mocktail for you.

    Are there any vegan options?

    Yes, they can modify menu items for you. Don't recall specific vegan menu items, but certainly salads and lots of vegetable side options. Check out their menu online.

    If I invite a friend who is gluten free are there menu items available?

    Yes there are gluten free items available.

    Does anyone know if they are serving for dine-in eating now?? I am driving down from Seattle for the day and wanted to meet a friend from Portland, so hoping I can find a place that's serving. Any other recommendations would be super too! Thx!!

    Just ate there several nights ago. Full menu; COVID safety is in place...so you may want to call for a reservation due to the spacing requirements. All restaurants on the water front are now serving dine-in as well. You shouldn't have any problems… Read more

    Why the do you come up when I search SUSHI?!?!? You DO NOT SERVE SUSHI.

    They do have sushi. It's actually very good! I've had it.

    Is the happy hour in the bar only?

    No it's all over the restaurant

I even offered to pay the regular menu price for either item, but was told I'd have to come back during happy hour if I wanted to order them. Instead, I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. The pulled pork sandwich was decent, but the flavor felt a little flat and could have used more seasoning. I was also surprised there wasn't any salt and pepper on the table, so if that's something you like, be sure to ask for it. Overall, the food was good and the service was good. While I enjoyed the experience, it's probably not a place I'd go out of my way to visit again, though I'd stop in if I was already in the area.

The area has developed quickly and having grown up nearby and moved away years ago, it's amazing to see what's happened along here. Prices - well, everyone has their hand out along here. We were in town somewhat last minute staying at Hotel Indigo. The hotel provides $10 drink coupons so we decided to drop in for an impromptu drink while planning our dinner strategy. It was already 7p so no view but live music and a nice buzzy ambiance. Wait staff were fast and friendly, and before we knew it two delicious cocktails were in front of us. At the same time, I overheard the waitress at the table beside us saying that food could be ordered from El Gaucho downstairs. So we asked for a menu and started perusing. If you don't know El Gaucho it's a classic steak restaurant with lots of cuts and sizes, a sprinkling of seafood, the usual salads, and tableside this and that. A notch above Ruth's Chris, Morton's or The Capital Grille but with Peter Luger Manhattan prices. Yes, that's right, Manhattan prices in Vancouver. WA. The Couv is all grown up. Or at least trying to be, Like Witness Tree, El Gaucho has a mandatory 20% gratuity regardless of party size. Theoretically this shouldn't be an issue if you know restaurant culture and tip appropriately but I think a mandatory fee rubs many wrong to assume service will always be at that level. And on top of very high prices. A $72 6oz filet is $86, so those 8 bites better be damn good. That said, we ordered oysters, a filet, seafood pasta, and wine. The wine list was decent but not as extensive for a premium steak restaurant. Wines had the typical markup which meant $20-35+ per glass. Both the pasta and steak were good but - and this may sound picky - at $72 for 6 ounces of steak (a bar of soap) I expect perfection which means medium rare throughout. The steak was medium in some parts. If I can achieve medium rare throughout at home it should be possible here. So here's the math (rounded) for those interested. Total bill: $295. $225 food and drinks, $45 service fee (mandatory 20%), and $24 tax (8.8%). Interestingly, the 20% service charge is taxed which means we actually paid $49 or 28.8%. Had I been given the choice of my own 20% tip it would be applied to food and drink and a slightly lower bill. Not a huge deal but these are the little details - call it "nickel and diming" patrons - that rub many wrong. One note - another server came to our table before our food arrived and placed a steak in front of me. Before he could place the other dish I told him it wasn't our order. He picked up the steak and delivered to another table. In most restaurants - and certainly in a premium setting - that dish should have been remade. Whether perception or simple hygiene you simply can't do that. All in all, the Witness Tree was a nice spot, with tasty cocktails and ambiance. Prices and service fee will be off putting for some, and not sure this would be my go-to as there are many rooftop / view options nearby.
