    French toast
    Carley S.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!)

    Crab cakes
    Danielle B.

    Great spot for either lunch or dinner and perfect for groups. My last visit was with a group of friends for an early dinner. We had a reservation and were seated pretty much right away upon arrival. It took about 5-10 minutes before our server took our drink order but after that, the service improved with food orders and follow-up drinks. I had the mussels followed by the Cobb salad, with an added order of prawns. I thought it was a bit overpriced but everything tasted really good. Other dishes at the table were the crab cakes and the pasta with meatballs - both looked really good. I'm disappointed to learn that they no longer have the amazing bread that they were so well known for, but due to changes in ownership, they don't have them anymore. Too bad, they were pretty fantastic.

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.

Total 10 guests today. Looks like 4 more guests can be served for the maximum seating. The server came by when the course is served to explain each item. The appetizers have three dishes. The tempura is freshly made and hot. The cooked fish tastes a bit fishy to my likely. The chawanmushi is lukewarm which I wish to be hotter. It then follows by 8 nigiri sushi with brown rice - really like the texture and (small) portion of rice with each nigiri. Fresh ingredients. I asked for low sodium option however the first few nigiri is a bit too salty and I have notified the server so the chef can adjust immediately. I enjoy the Hokkaido uni nigiri the last smoked fish nigiri the most. The fresh crab and salmon roe rice and beef soba noodles at the end have a nice touch of finesse. There are a number of birthday celebrations and they asked for names to acknowledge and celebrate the birthdays. A little musical piano "performance" for the happy birthday song. Matcha green tea is served at the end to wrap up the omakase. Overall an enjoyable experience but not necessarily impressive as a Michelin 1 star restaurant. At this price point it's worth a try however not likely regular visit.

We arrived around 2 PM for our reservation and were greeted warmly right away, which made for a great first impression. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The bamboo divider running through the middle of the space gave it a cozy, modern Japanese-inspired feel, and the overall atmosphere was probably my favorite part of the experience. As for the food, unfortunately it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. I ordered the seafood sizzler bowl, and while it wasn't bad by any means, it felt underwhelming for the price. The bowl was mostly rice, with a few small prawns, tiny scallops, a little roe, and some crab mixed in. I was expecting something more seafood-forward, so it ended up feeling more like a deconstructed fried rice than the premium dish I had envisioned. Same with the unagi bowl, couple small pieces of unagi cut up... The appetizers were actually the highlight of the meal and ended up being more memorable than my main course. I kept waiting for a dish to really wow me, but nothing stood out enough to make me crave a return visit. Maybe I just ordered the wrong items, because I know this place has plenty of fans. Overall, I'm glad I tried it, but based on this visit, I don't see myself making a special trip back.
