    Kids ice cream
    Susanna L.

    Giant windows looking out to the city (hotel building) Service was a little slow but that's probably how it feels nice and calm inside Chowder wasn't great, the description had lots of seafood on it but really it was just a lot of potato and barely any seafood Kids meal is a good deal- $15 for entree, veggies, drink and ice cream! The fries, salad and potato was very delicious. Waffle isn't as crispy as expected.

    We have been for both breakfast and dinner. Great, convenient location. Food is really good. For dinner I got the grilled cheese sandwich with a side salad. For breakfast I got one of the omelettes.

    We came here for lunch on a Saturday. Restaurant was about 25% full. We sat down and waited quite a while until someone came and gave us water, so service is definitely not fast here. I ordered the traditional club sandwich and my partner ordered the burger. The food also took quite a while to arrive. The burger was made from a frozen patty, and it tasted lifeless. Fries were good. The salad dressing tasted quite terrible, like a watery red wine dressing. My club sandwich was decent, and the chicken breast was tasty. Ambiance was quiet hotel restaurant. We liked that we were able to have quiet conversations. They don't make coffee from fresh beans here. It's all from Nespresso pods. Butter is served from little single serve cups. Jam is in served in little pre-made single serve jars. I feel it's neither environmental nor fresh. We went to get coffee elsewhere after our meals here.

    Italian espresso martini $12

    * Have you ever visited a restaurant, ended up having an issue, yet you left with such satisfaction and a feeling of complete joy, that it didn't even matter? Yup, that happened to me here at P2B Bistro and Bar. They are located inside Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront. (The review of the hotel is posted separately) This is my first time in Vancouver. Dinner my first night here, at P2B, was delicious. Happy hour from 3-6 includes some great choices. Ours were a beautiful charcuterie board with a diverse selection for $18. A sourdough and olive oil plate that includes an olive tapenade and balsamic $9. Probably one of the best sourdough breads I've ever had. The Italian espresso martini $12, was outstanding. They put their own twist on it. I've never had one before, so I don't know the difference. But this one was money! Has anyone ever flown to another country just for a cocktail? Haha, I can dream. On to dinner. We shared a dish, Linguine Puttanesca $24. The flavor was exquisite. The spice of it was perfectly balanced with the salty capers and rich tomato sauce. It was split into 2 plates (pictured) so the half portion size in each bowl was just perfect, since having indulged in appetizers and still wanting dessert. Vacationing allows me a reason to splurge sometimes and I'm glad I did. Dessert was magnificent. House made crème brûlée $13, was one of the best I've ever tasted. The rich, yet delicate custard was decadent with a perfectly hardened, caramelized sugar topping. Topped with fresh fruit and a small biscotti its presentation was outstanding. Affogato was also ordered. It was the perfect harmony of hot and cold. Creamy vanilla ice cream with the bold, hot espresso, created a delicious combination of balanced sweet and bitter. It too was served with a small biscotti. (Yes, I dunked, lol) We enjoyed outside patio dining with a beautiful view of the water and surrounding city. It was so nice. Did I mention an issue? Hardly worth mentioning except that it brought me to meeting the manager, Samantha. She has to be one of the best people, in her position, that I've ever met. Sometimes things happen for a reason and tonight that reason was to be able to meet her. She was professional, kind, thoughtful and absolutely delightful. The interaction with her was the cherry on the sundae to this whole amazing dinner experience. I highly recommend P2B Bistro and Bar if you are staying at the hotel. It's worth the visit even if you're not.

    Soup of the day tomato basil $13

    We got 2 $15 off coupons when we checked in at the hotel so we decided to give it a try. We were here during a quiet lunch time. The staff was friendly and the food was good. There's even a little bit of a view.

    Royal Treatment
    Alexia H.

    Came on a Thursday during happy hour. But none of the happy hour options looked appealing to me. One of my co-works had the happy hour beer, which was a red truck lager. She loved it. My co-workers and I shared the calamari, which we all loved. I tend to like mine a bit crispier but the flavor was great. I had the royal treatment cocktail. It was a very nice light and refreshing gin based drink. For my main entree I had the chicken piccata. Absolutely loved that dish! The flavors were amazing. Would definitely stop by next time I'm in town.

    I stayed at the Pinnacle Harbor Hotel and it is so convenient to just go downstairs to P2b Bistro to eat. I have had breakfast, lunch, and dinner here. The food is delicious! The service is amazing as well. They have patio seating with beautiful views but since it has been raining I have been dining inside. I love the glass windows. It is very nice to see boats coming in and geese flying above me while I enjoy my meal. My favorites include the Caesar salad with grill chicken, korean flavor wings, grilled chicken cobb salad, truffle fries, and signature breakfast plate. The smoked salmon was delicious for breakfast. Don't forget to try the french vanilla cafe latte. Happy hour is 3-6pm. They also have live music starting at 5:30pm.

    My mom and I decided to try the restaurant since we were staying at the Pinnacle Harbourfront Hotel. We had asked the hostess if we could site outside on the patio. No problems there. We had ordered 2 Pop (soda), which ended up costing $4, which we thought was expensive. For an appetizer, we ordered the crab cakes. My mom really enjoyed it- says it was made with lots of crab. My mom ordered the baby back ribs and I had ordered the prawn linguine. The entrees were pretty tasty. I enjoyed what I ordered. I ate the entire thing. For dessert, we ordered the lava cake. It came with some ice cream and some dabs of sauces on the side. Our server was nice, but pretty slow. I had even heard a few people ask the blonde server to get their bill because they had no idea where their server was. Next time, we will skip the pop and stick to water. The restaurant was not busy, so it was a little disappointing that the service was so slow. Decent food, good location.

    Pull pork slider from happy hour menu
    Tracy T.

    We checked into the Pinnacle hotel during heat wave and decided to try out the restaurant since it's too hot to go out. I read some early reviews and was worried about the service, but it turned out to be great. We've ordered drinks and appies from happy hour menu and 2 items from dinner menu. The calamari was over done. It's so dry that it tasted like jerky. The pull pork slider and Caesar salad came as expected, there's no surprise both in a good and bad way. The linguine was flavourful and the texture was just right. The steak frites was also nicely done. After all, the happy hour really doesn't save you a lot and not worth it given the quality and taste of the food. Go for the happy hour drinks, otherwise don't even bother as food from regular menu is way better.

    Penne chicken
    Elaine T.

    So delicious that I could have licked my plate. The penne had a flavorful sauce with bacon and sausage. The only thing that could have made it better was a crostini so I could wipe my bowl clean! The seafood chowder was buttery and rich with fish, clams and more. The chicken BLT was fresh with actual chicken breast not sliced meat. Service was excellent.

    Rack of lamb $29.50
    Eva L.

    This review is for a regular weeknight and also Christmas night. Environment (4/5): The restaurant is located on the first floor of the Pinnacle Harbourfront Hotel. There is a bar and a dining area with small and large tables. On the weeknight, there was a live musician but unfortunately none during Christmas day. Quite festive with the Christmas decors though. Food (3/5): The lamb rack was really good. The ribs, on the other hand, were really dry. Christmas 3-course meal was $49 came with an appetizer (soup was good), main (prime rib was the better choice) and dessert. Price (3/5): Fairly reasonable if you have the entertainment BOGO coupon. Otherwise, average $30 for a main. Service (1/5): THE SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE! The first time we came we thought it was okay so we wanted to give it another try. WE HAD THE SAME SERVER AND HE BARELY ATTENDED US. He never came to ask if we wanted water refill, let us know when the food would arrive (we waited more than 45 mins for food), or even asked how the food was. He forgot our sides (Yorkshire pudding and coleslaw) but another table got theirs. We felt neglected. No manager came to talk to us. THEY RUINED OUR CHRISTMAS DINNER... LESSON LEARNED: NEVER AGAIN! (I was reading other's reviews someone else actually had a similar experience as us! This should be addressed!!)

The raw fish options seem to be limited to salmon and tuna. which is fine, despite this, all the rolls we got were pretty delicious and well thought out. Super close to the hockey arena, so lots of folks seem to stop by before the game. All in all, it was pretty good. I will probably seek out a more traditional spot next time with more raw fish options though.

    I went here for a special occasion dinner. Reservations are highly recommended because they are…read morevery small - 12 diners per sitting and 2 sittings per night. I made reservations about 4 months in advance. Upon arrival, one of the hostesses opened the door for us, and asked us to wait in a very ornate waiting area. We only waited a couple of minutes before another hostess seated us at the main seating area. The space is very dark, and only lit with candles while the rest of the diners trickled in. During that time they take drink orders, which is limited to sake, wine, beer and a few non-alcoholic drinks. Of note, they don't provide a drink menu, so we were a little surprised by the cost - the yuzu sake and the plum wine were $30 each. My non-alcoholic drink was $12, but a fair size. The theatrical portion started a few minutes later than the official start time - closer to 6pm. The shades lifted, the lights turned on, and the chefs introduced themselves. And from that moment on, they immediately went to work preparing our meal. They operate like clockwork to show the ingredients whole to the diners, and then preparing them, and serving them. Soon as the one dish was completed by all the diners, the next round came shortly after. Over 20+ dishes, there was very little wait time in between each. Each time a dish was served, a hostess was there to describe the dish and provided tips on how best to eat it. The food was overall was very good. I thought a few items were very average, most of them were very good, and a select few were truly outstanding. Most of the ingredients are imported from Japan, so I would imagine that it's part of the reason it's so expensive. This is definitely a splurge meal. I think half the diners at our sitting was celebrating a birthday. On the most part, the food is very good, watching the chefs at work is part of the entertainment, and the service is excellent. It's not some place I could afford to go to often, but glad to do it at least this one time.

Okeya Kyujiro is a Michelin one-star theatrical omakase restaurant, and when they say theatrical, they mean it! From the moment you're welcomed by smiling ushers in kimono to the closing tea ceremony, every movement feels intentional, precise, and elevated. The ambiance is serene and anticipatory. At the start, guests sit in silence as a black screen conceals the chefs. You see their shadows moving behind it. A bell rings, the screen lifts, and the performance begins. Dinner is a 25+ course experience priced at $325 per person. It's undeniably a splurge, but for a milestone celebration, it feels justified. The menu is seafood-forward, with many ingredients flown in from Japan. Each ingredient is presented before preparation, then carefully assembled and served directly from chef to guest. Courses arrive one by one, never rushed. The service team moves seamlessly in the background, refilling water and attending to drinks (available as an add-on) without disrupting the flow. The finale is a matcha ceremony, whisked in front of you with the same quiet precision that defines the evening. When the final sip is taken, the bell chimes once more, the chefs and staff bow, and the screens close. It was a beautifully choreographed dining experience, perfect for marking a special moment, and one I'd gladly return to for the next celebration.

Maybe I'm spoiled from years of uni nigiri from Sushi Bar Kilala (iykyk), but I was disappointed that the uni at Takenaka was small and often a background note rather than the star. Uni Colada cocktail: white rum, fino, montenegro, coconut, uni mango foam, chili - refreshing, tropical drink with a smooth foam top. It's a pricey cocktail because there's uni, but you don't taste much of it. The mango and chili are stronger. It's a nice drink, but not $17 nice. Uni and Beef Yuk-hoe: seared beef, green onion, quail egg, garlic chips, stem wasabi, uni, seaweed - delicious! However, I felt like the uni may as well not have been there. I had a piece on its own and it had a lovely buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture. However, it was quite mellow (uni usually pops with briny, umami notes). Then I had the other piece with everything else and it got overshadowed by the beef. Uni California DIY hand roll: crab meat, uni sauce, roll-it-yourself seaweed wrap - it's smart to make this a DIY experience because the seaweed remains crisp. The mini soy sauce syringes on the side are cute too. I don't like using a lot of soy with my sushi, so it was great to control the amount. There didn't appear to be any uni sauce inside the hand roll...maybe it was used to marinate components? Even then, the flavours that come through are the sweetness of the crab and salty pop of fish roe (tobiko, I think). Truffle Egg DIY hand roll: truffle flavoured egg omelette, roll-it-yourself seaweed wrap - it's like all the luxury ingredients they highlight on their menu are less prevalent. The egg omelette was tasty, but I would never guess there was truffle incorporated. I want to reiterate that all the food was good and I enjoyed it! I just don't feel like I can rate higher when the uni didn't shine.
