Came here for quick bite over their happy lounge & the food was super tasty ! 1) Oysters are my favorite and these were definitely super fresh - definitely a must try ! 2) My fiancé loved the Shishito Peppers and even ordered a second order of them. 3) I'm a sucker for potatoes especially a fries so I had to make an order out ! But boy oh boy these were top notch - crispy on the outside and soft in the inside ! Cheers, EY read more

This place is a class. Very polish, clean and beautiful. Little bit of a hidden gem as it's not on any of the main streets but tucked on the one spectacular side of beautiful Vancouver harbour. One must checkout everything in this corner of our city. Westin hotel, it's cafe , it's restaurant with winter lust domes and mesmerizing light decorations around the hotel surroundings. Brilliant place for a romantic date. Office parties are also celebrated especially at the domes or in the lounges of the restaurant. Servers are exceptionally well spoken and knowledgeable about the food,drinks and proud legacy of the space. We are thankful to our handsome server kurtis for his valuable service. Food is also excellent. We being vegetarians were not able to try meat dishes but the sablefish and as worth every penny. It's little bit on a sweeter side so beware spice lovers. Fish itself was just melting in my mouth. Squash salad is heavy on stomach so don't be fooled like us considering it just a salad. It's actually a very good shareable starter. Again , since we were non- alcoholic people so didn't try any drinks but the menu has very amazing drinks with interesting ingredients. Go for it . read more

This is primarily a review of their bar. The bartenders are stellar--very knowledgeable, friendly, and they will steer you in the right direction whether you want a glass of wine or a zero proof cocktail or anything else. They hustle and work hard! In spite of how busy they are, they provide consistently quality service. I am taking a star off because the hosts are consistently hopeless (this is over six visits). They are never around when someone wants a table (I watched the bar staff try to nicely help people who had been waiting for a while for a table, and wandered into the bar for help). They sent a lady with two small children to the bar to place a to-go order and apparently it's a no no for kids to be at the bar , so again the hosts were creating more work for the bar staff as they have to find a place for the family. And finally, I showed up with someone else to have a drink tonight. They offered us the waitlist or we could sit at separate places at the bar. I understand that seating people at a busy lounge might be tough but come on, be sensible or at least present/coherent at your job. Why would you seat two people at opposite sides of the bar when they came in together? This totally reflects poorly on the Westin venue brand. So if you can shake off the annoyance of the hostess gauntlet at the lounge entrance, it has the potential to be a nice venue for you. read more

We visited H Tasting Lounge on Friday evening to celebrate early Valentine's and Chinese New Year and also looking forward to the long weekend for Family Day. We parked at the separated parking lot and upon checking in with the hostess, provided or license plate for free parking. You don't need to pay at the lot. We made reservations online so we were seated quickly by the hostess. The lounge was lower dimmed with music which set the mood. It seemed lively and the tables were partitioned. The seats were quite comfortable. We ordered off the Dine out Vancouver menu for $35 and order some drinks. Our drinks True Lies cocktail and yuzu spritz. I ordered: 1) Kale salad - I love starting with salads and this was a really tasty salad with citrus dressing and spiced nuts. 2) pan seared salmon - perfectly cooked and bit salty for me but having it with the tomato relish cut down the saltiness. 3) Vanilla bean gelato - I shouldn't have finished it but I did because it was that good. My hubby order: 1) mushroom soup 2) pork belly 3) blueberry white chocolate cheesecake I did have some bites of the pork belly and wow, it was very rich and flavourful. It was a bit salty for my liking but I did ask for another bite to my husband's dismay :). My only issue from our first dining experience at H Tasting Lounge it took 30 minutes for our entrees from the time we received our appetizers. The staff did not provide us any updates or "check in", which I expected as common courtesy. We knew the wait was 30 minute as our food photos were timed stamped. I did notice the table next to us who were seated after we put our drink and food order in, they got their appetizers and entrees ahead of us and they also ordered off the Dine Out Vancouver menu. I though that was a bit odd. I would like to try the Winterlust dining experience if it still going in March 2021. We will see. read more

Located inside Westin Bayshore Vancouver, to me this small setup within the Hotel is definitely a gem itself. Simple menu but highly satisfying food even for dinner. Disappointed by having walked over to a $$$ Japanese restaurant 45 minutes walk-in wait time; we're told that currently became a two hour wait. Quick decision needed and took a taxi back to our hotel for dinner. Ordered a seafood tower for two and making sure I won't go hungry afterwards, our server suggested beef tartare as that will fulfilled my worry. Great choice as it turned out to be a perfect combination with the cold seafood being served along with wine and cocktail. All the seafood being decorated over ice the shrimps, almost raw tuna , clams, raw oysters, crab legs , etc, etc was almost Japanese food that we wanted. Could not ask for anything more after being disappointed earlier. read more

Alright. It's been a long time since my last review. I don't like to waste my precious time unless the situation was so good, or was so bad, that it warrants it. Today, my family ate at The Westin restaurant in Coal Harbour during its WinterLust theme. It was a wonderful, unforgettable treat for us during these unprecedented times of this Covid pandemic. The seating in one of these pre-booked elevated domes was such a private, intimate and unique experience. The food we ordered was absolutely delicious. My hats off to the kitchen staff. Truffle fries were nice and crispy. The miso glazed sable fish on the rice was so yummy. The tomahawk steak? Order it! Omg it was so good medium rare. Look at my subpar iphone photos but you can STILL see the deliciousness shine through the lens! But you know what? What put the experience over the top for us was our delightful server. I can't recall her name, but it started with a D., I think. She made our first dining experience here magical. She was so nice, friendly and accommodating (mind you, we brought along 2 rambunctious kids) that I just had to break my hiatus from Yelp today to give 5/5 stars. Furthermore, the rest of the staff were great too. When I left twice, once to move my car and the other time to go the rest room, I was always genuinely greeted and it honestly made me feel like a million dollars. Kudos to the staff for making me feel this way. Management should be proud their staff bring this energy. Go read my Papa Roti review; they should take a page from your book! read more

Celebrated my birthday here yesterday and the food here was phenomenal! It was more than what we expected. There was a bit of a confusion with the cheese, but their exceptional service was just amazing! Thank you to the chefs and staff!! They even surprised me with a cake! It was a lovely surprise! The drinks, even the seasonal ones were strong, but sooo smooth! It satisfied my alcoholic cravings! I'm so impressed! OH, THE FRIES WERE THE STAR OF THE SHOW! The best fries I've had. EVER! We WILL BE BACK! read more

This past Sunday, a few girlfriends and I experienced Winterlust at H Tasting Lounge. We were supposed to try this last year, but unfortunately with restrictions at that time, we had to cancel. As it was raining on Sunday, I did not get a picture of the globes since it was pouring and we wanted to stay dry! Lol. But it did stop in the middle of it and caught a rainbow right on the water! Was so pretty. We ordered quite a bit between the 5 of us: Kusshi Oysters, Caesar Salad, Bread & Oil, Truffle Fries, Two Rivers Charcuterie, Ahi Tuna Tataki, Fish Tacos, and Smash Sliders. Everything was delicious. We ordered so many appys and share plates that we didn't end up ordering any entrees. And of course, always gotta save room for dessert: Warm Apple Galette, Caramel Brownie, and Cotton Candy & (strawberry) Cream Puffs. Also, drinks ordered were: Leche Di Papi, Lost Paradise (fave), Autumn Shade, and Like Basically. Definitely a good experience overall! read more

H Tasting Lounge has great decor and is somewhat cozy but does not live up to the price charged. I get it, you charge a premium because it's located in the Westin, which is premium, relatively speaking, but the quality of food and service is not up to par. Let's start with the seating. We were seated in the centre and it was too low for comfortable dining. It honestly felt like I was doing squats. Maybe the intention was to give me a work out, who knows. Within one minute of receiving the drink menu, the waitress asked what drinks we would like. Thats a bit too quick in my opinion. We ordered and received oysters, fish tacos and truffle fries. The oysters were fresh but cocktail sauce tasted like something out of a shrimp cocktail party tray and the fish tacos were cold and miserable tasting. It seemed like the fish had been sitting on the counter for 1/2 hr before it got to us. The truffle fries were decent, but nothing to come running to. Overall, the experience was underwhelming. I will not be going back, but if you want a modern, stylish place to spend some time with others, then it is worth considering. Just don't expect much from the fish tacos. read more

Great spot for afternoon tea. Ambience, interiors and service were lovely. Pricing and quality of food is comparable to other high tea services (in Toronto). I would recommend getting the cherry blossom tea, it was the best loose leaf mix out of all the offered flavours. It would have been great if they had a sampler to smell flavours before choosing. Note, you only get to choose one tea for the entire service. The favourites bites were: Miso Aburi Oyster and Halibut, Leek Potato Pie and the Peach Pavlova All in all, I would come again for a girls day out. read more

During the winter, H Tasting Lounge transforms its patio into this charming space filled with globes. It's like being in a miniature snow globe, but adult sized of course. Due to its popularity, I was able to snag a reservation by making it at the end of November for February! The experience was well worth the wait. The globe has two heaters and is completely private so it felt safe. This was important to us since we stopped dining out due to Covid. There's soft music playing inside so you can't hear anything from the other globes. The Winterlust deal is that they charge you $200 upfront that can be used on food and drinks. The service was fantastic, the ambience was perfect, cocktail menu was unique, and the food was really good. Some of the standouts include their crab cake (chock full of crab), truffle fries, and apple galette for dessert. The only one disappointment for me was the Lingcod which lacked flavour. At the end of the meal, they kindly brought out some special treats in honour of our anniversary which was a really nice touch. If you can snag a reservation for their private globes, I definitely recommend it! read more

What a nice treat. My partner and I stayed at the Westin Hotel and to our surprise saw this amazing bar. This place is a cocktail lovers dream! We came the day they released the holiday cocktail menu. Its a fun photo album with pictures of family members and cocktails created for them. I ordered the problematic uncle. It comes in a naughty santa mug and has tonka bean infused whiskey, bitters, oat milk, and an orange infused whipped cream. Its topped with gingerbread! That drink was delicious. I would've had 3 more if I wasn't driving. LOL! The food was delicious as well. We had the caramelized onion dip, the fish sauce wings, and the fish tacos. All really yummy, but the fish sauce wings were my favorite. The service was great as well! Our serve was very sweet, and kind. As a bonus we came on a day when they had a live harpist. That was a special and romantic treat for the holidays. Tip: Make a reservation for brunch or afternoon tea. If you miss reservations but desperately want to try this place, come right when they open. read more

I had such a delightful time attending a beautiful afternoon tea at the H Tasting Lounge ! Their Christmas/Holiday themed set was magical. I'm a sucker for presentation, so I was easily enamored when they brought their trademark giant candy cane cotton candy (such a mouthful to say) to the table. It was balanced on a perfectly meticulous metal hand. Soo classy. I mentally felt my excitement shoot up from a 7 to a perfect 10. Needless to say, I was a kid at the candy store. No long after, a Ferris wheel (literally!) of delicious savoury and sweet treats were brought in and I was won over. The savoury was good and the desserts were delicious. Priced at $55 it is pricey compared to most meals, but on par with higher end teas and worth a visit for special celebration. Afternoon teas are a treat on its own category. They aren't a full meal, but assortment of o'devours that do fill you up. Our server was attentive and professional. And the lounge is beautiful with an open space concept. Great ambiance. We were seated in the lower tables, which are aesthetically pleasing, but not the best due to the lower chair to table ratio. If you like a higher seat, request tables by the side walls. Parking is available via street (meter) or valet. Overall, I'll be adding this special spot on my afternoon teas to visit! read more

I had a great experience on this visit. Of course, the vibe of the dome setup has been overwhelming, and I can't help to take some photos outside and inside. Next, our server (sorry I forgot your name) was remarkable, he set the experience comfortable right away and he informed us of the time, and room temperature where there is a heater inside which we can turn on if needed, music can as well be controlled if we want to, and throughout he knows the right timing to be back to check us out if we're doing okay or we needed help on something. Anyways, for the food $150 is the minimum order which is understandable, my sister already pre-ordered the charcuterie and cheese platter so it was served right away, as someone who worked in the deli department I was not impressed with the serving, well plated but the content is merely not enough for it's $32 price. The chicken wings were appetizing it was sweet yet spicy. The miso-marinated sablefish was delectable, we love every bite of it. The seafood tower is another minus star, the content was fresh but it just lacks taste as for seafood the taste depends on the dips which to me it needs some addition or something to make it even more special for its price. Lastly, we had a latte and dessert platter, I appreciate that they made it special since it was my birthday which we forgot to note when we booked, so we just let them know on the spot, which yep, I got the happy birthday platter with a candle, the cotton candy was mind-blowing and the cakes were mostly sweet it was a delightful dessert platter. In addition to the bill since it was my birthday, my non-alcoholic drink was free, thank you. Overall, this is an acceptable beautiful spot to dine especially on special occasions, highly recommended. read more

This place is super cute, great atmosphere. The harpist and violinist were a nice touch. Food was just not on point. Way more sweet than savory foods and the tea sandwich bread was so dry. The tea itself was good. I wish I could've tried more than just one flavor of tea. They did refill the tea pots upon request. The servers were very nice and accommodating. A plus is validated parking at the parking garage across the street. I would come for the experience, but just plan on not eating well. My favorite food item was the cotton candy, which nobody else seemed to be eating, but it was the one food with the best flavor in my opinion because everything else was lacking. read more

Stopped by during happy hour after a long bike ride at Stanley Park. I was a little sad they didn't offer their buck a shuck anymore so we decided to try some items from their happy hour menu. We opted for the fish tacos, the brussel sprouts and their house daiquiri. We were going to have an early dinner so we only tried a few items. All the items were delicious. The fish taco was super flavourful, and we were def. regretting now getting another one. The pickled cabbage and the cotija cheese were 'chef's kiss'. I cant remember having such a delicious fish taco. The brussel spouts were also very flavourful with a nice mix of the char (from being roasted) to the acidic sweetness of the balsamic glaze. It was a bit on they oily side so you do have to eat it slowly while siping your drink. Make sure to make reservations as this cute little cocktail bar located at the Westin Hotel does get busy. Bonus points for the super cute seats, fireplace and french inspired decor. read more

Came here for their high tea with a friend and everything was very cute! We were seated in the patio, which was very pretty. We had bar seating so it was comfortable, but I noticed the patio furniture may not be as comfortable because the coffee table is so low (it looks better though!). The high tea was $55 per person and came on a ferris wheel. I liked that as it was fun but it wasn't super stable. I liked all the savoury and sweet items with my favourites being the truffle egg salad sandwich and the matchz yuzu cake. I was sad I only get to choose 1 tea though. I also didn't like the cotton candy because I just don't like cotton candy (more for Instagram).

So I have been to the restaurant but his was my first time at the tasting lounge. I didn't really like what was on the holiday menu so I asked for my go too, raspberry lemon drop martini. Lucky for me they had fresh raspberries on hand, so they were able to accommodate my request. It was very well done. My friends also weren't keen on the holiday cocktail list and asked for sangria. Super strong, which they liked. It wasn't sweet enough for me. We just ordered appies, which consisted of bread with oil dip. This was interesting because it came with an olive oil candle in it. The candle was apparently edible. I did find it made the balsamic and oil dip thicker, and helped the balsamic stick to the bread better. It was fine but I could do without as well. We also ordered truffle fries. Who doesn't carry this item nowadays? This one had big chucky fries but the taste was very overpowering. I've had better. My friend ordered the seafood chowder, and it was too fishy for me. I did love the brussel sprouts. They were amazing. The service was exquisite. The ambiance was quite beautiful. I accidentally booked for two people, and they were able to accommodate us for 3 at a lovely booth. I would definitely come back to try other things and have some more cocktails, hopefully ones that look appealing. read more

This is a review of the H Tasting Lounge Festive Turkey Takeout, which is arranged by H Tasting Lounge during certain holidays. H Tasting Lounge is a restaurant in the Westin Bayshore Hotel in Vancouver. The Turkey Takeout preparation is completed in the hotel's kitchens that are used for its events in its event halls. Therefore, you're getting hotel food prepared in the event hall kitchens when you order the Turkey Takeout. At the entrance of the hotel for the event halls, they will check you in when you get there. They will bring the food out to you from the kitchen. It's done in a very orderly fashion and there were a lot of hotel staff uniting customers with their Turkey Takeout dinners when I went to pick up my food. We ordered Turkey Takeout for Thanksgiving for two. The portions are reasonable, but not filling for a guy like me. It was good enough in terms of portions size. As for the food, it tasted like any food that you would eat at a hotel wedding reception. Kind of bland and generic. In that sense, I was disappointed as I thought it would be more flavourful considering that H2 Rotisserie chickens are very flavourful. If I had the choice between the rotisserie chicken from H2 and the Turkey Takeout, I would choose the chicken meals from H2 Rotisserie, which is the other hotel restaurant in the Westin Bayshore. At the end of the day, I wouldn't order the Turkey Takeout again as I would prefer H2 Rotisserie's quarter or half chicken meals instead or use a catering company for holiday dinners. It's a great option if you want to avoid doing all the preparation and cooking for the holidays though, which is why it is a popular takeout service. There were tons of people waiting for their meals when I went there prior to dinner on Thanksgiving. read more

Cocktails were super refreshing, great for those who prefer their drinks on the fruity side. The pork belly was amazing as well- reminiscent of chinese braised pork belly but crispier. Ambiance was great as well, with good views of coal harbor. Other dishes we ordered, however, were more lackluster. The miso cod was bland and the soba noodles on the side were extremely dry and tasteless. The oysters were also on the smaller side for the price and the kale salad was very average. Additionally, the dishes took a pretty long time to come out. Overall I would recommend it as a place for drinks and light bites on a sunny day! read more

Was there Sat for an early Mother's Day brunch. Can't say enough great things about the whole experience of the five of us savouring every precious moment of dining in one of the domes. Service was great, food was fabulous & above all, ambiance was unbelievable!! Had the time of our lives. Everyone should experience this at least once but it is a bit pricey unless you have a group of 5-6. Deposit of $100 is required if reserving a dome to dine in at time of booking and a minimum bill of $300 (which was easily reached by our group). The four appetizers we ordered were big portions and so filling the five orders of main entrees were too much. Two full orders were left over and packed up. The most outstanding items on the menu were the foie gras/fig jam appetizer and the sablefish entree. Both were some of the best I've ever had. The rest of the food were delicious too. read more

I have been wanting to try H Tasting lounge Tea for a while. I have seen photos on Instagram and can't wait to try. The decoration and the service was superb. The quality of food is disappointing tho. Easy to make reservation on OpenTable and got a window seat. I went on a sunny day. The view was gorgeous toward the marinas. There was one server for the whole place. She made sure we are taken care of. This month it's the Christmas themed tea. Presentation of the food was great just like what I expected from Instagram photos. However the savoury items were lacking flavours. The turkey croissant was super plain. I expected some form of cranberry in there (there's none). Cheese scones was dry and nothing special. The sweets were good. But I have better in Vancouver. read more

H Tasting Lounge is located in the lobby of the Westin Bayshore in the scenic Coal Harbour area of Vancouver. This small but spiffy dining area is a nod to one of their well-known guests... Howard Hughes who occupied the penthouse (of the then known Bayshore Inn) for 6 months back in the early 70's. The sleek geometric lines, gold-hued accents, art deco decor and glitzy chandelier is most likely meant to evoke a sense of nostalgia for his earlier glamorous years before he became the recluse he was when he visited Vancouver. We visited in late April for their Cherry Blossom Festival Afternoon Tea Experience ($55 per person) which includes a selection of sweet and savory items as well as your choice of tea selection. I have to admit that things started off nicely enough with a box of teas to select from... it's nice that you're able to see and smell the various choices offered instead of just relying on a written description from a menu. After we made our selections, they brought out a somewhat over-the-top candy floss decorated plate with house-made confiture (jam), vanilla butter, signature Bayshore honey, and a small freshly baked scone for each diner (I suppose it is in keeping with the eccentric nature Howard Hughes was known for). There seems to be a couple of different presentations of their afternoon tea experience... one which includes a showy Ferris wheel with items precariously perched in each seat and the experience which we received where the items are presented in glitzy jewelry boxes. The items included with the afternoon tea experience is supposed to include a Prosciutto Croissant with arugula and lemon cottage cheese, a Deviled Egg, a quarter of a Japanese Red Bean Pancake, a Smoked Salmon Tea Sandwich with avocado purée and cucumber, and a Wild Mushroom and Bacon Pastry Cup. In addition, the sweets include a Matcha Mochi, Lemon Curd Tart, Passionfruit Mousse, and Tiramisu. As you can see below... they forgot to give us the Wild Mushroom and Bacon Pastry Cup (you kind of have to wonder if they would have forgotten this if they used the Ferris wheel instead). We wound up having to ask about the Wild Mushroom and Bacon Pastry Cup and they brought them out on a separate plate. Overall, I'd say that it's definitely a pretty environment (complete with views of Coal Harbour and the Shogetsu or Shirofugen cherry blossoms in bloom outside the hotel). However, the food and service quality really doesn't meet with the price of the experience. The one tiny scone was nice but our tea was given to us in a French Tea Press (while the other tables had individual tea pots). You could barely get 1 cup of tea out of these French Presses and they were not attentive enough to refill our tea often enough (I think we had one refill... so 2 cups of tea total). Service was a bit lackluster when compared with our expectations for such a grand environment. So, I'd say they pretty much nailed the flashy yet flawed Howard Hughes theme. read more

Came here for a birthday and had a really amazing experience! We got the "let them eat cake" afternoon tea. The setting looks very fancy, and they had live music. Our favourites were the deviled egg, Eton mess cheesecake, and Ferrero Roche dessert (but everything was really good)! Was very impressed by their extensive tea selection. Best out of everything were the servers! They were very nice and attentive. We noted on the reservation about an allergy, and they confirmed it at the start of the meal. I thought they would give us a duplicate sandwich to substitute, but they actually completed the set with a delicious mushroom sandwich. The severs were really nice and brought out an extra birthday dessert with a candle after we were done, as well as delicious passionfruit jellies! The price might be slightly higher than some other tea rooms in Vancouver, but it was worth every penny! Definitely would recommend! read more

Decided to try this lounge for 2019 dine out. Inside the beautiful Westin Hotel, the lounge is quite small. We waited at the podium for someone to acknowledge us and seat us down. Took around 3 minutes for someone to finally see us and acknowledge our presence there. The waitress who served us was very nice and explained the menu. Food portion is quite large for a dine out menu, but in terms of food quality, it's average to say the least. The good thing is I was full for the first time eating a dine out menu, but I would pass as an option for dine out this year. read more

I went to H tasting lounge for my birthday. My overall experience at H Tasting Lounge was not bad. However I found a living spider in my dessert. I was happily enjoying the cotton candy then my friend alerted me that, there was a spider INSIDE. I was utterly disgusted. We tried to grab the servers attention for at least 5 minutes. By the time the server came to our table to spider went around the whole dessert 3 times... The server apologized and took the dessert back. She offered me a new one and I agreed. The manager brought it out and apologized. But I was surprised when he said "At least it's not a big one," I'm sorry what? So are they saying this is normal. They also did not comp it. Maybe it was being I didn't seem that upset but I still tipped well because I didn't want to be rude. But now looking back, this is not okay lol. read more
