Caught up with a friend recently and we chose Parker Rooftop. The oysters were a definite improvement -- 95% shell-free, a huge step up from previous visits. We ordered earlier in the day, and the shucker was clearly alert, taking the extra steps to ensure a clean finish. Truffle fries were indulgent and perfectly crisp, though the garlic aioli was milder than I prefer -- almost like straight mayo without a punch. I skipped the sushi wrap, sticking to my traditionalist ways, but my friend enjoyed it. Brownie bites, complimentary as they were, were a disappointment. Lacking enough fat and possibly stored improperly, they tasted a bit stale -- a shame, because how does a brownie not taste good? Our server was attentive and charming, swooping in at just the right moments for round twos and top-offs, which made the experience that much smoother. read more

Gosh, we wanted to love this hotels food options so much after discovering the hotel itself recently. Sadly after visiting the rooftop twice for happy hour and once for dinner with an announced significant birthday number shared, and two breakfast's a three is all we can muster. It should be so much more, but the food lets down the entire experience. Our service was good, with delightful people helping our experience. That said service is slow, with details that should be spot on, not even evident. Water glasses left empty forever, promises made, not even brought up again. When the reservation was made a question was asked of an event for the dinner out. A 60th birthday was mentioned, acknowledged, and when sat by our server and nothing further. To be fair K would rather it all go by unannounced, but when it's all over the paperwork a small recognition should be there. The space itself, is not on a rooftop at all, but it's a beautiful high ceilings restaurant that deserves a far better kitchen. Our price fixe menu for two at $155 or so was definitely not worth the price at all. The steak was uniformly medium when med rare was the ask. There was a tiny bit of medium rare at one end, but the vast majority was medium or more. The torch of the butter on the steak, looked good from afar prior to our serving, but right in front of you looks almost comical. Our breakfasts were average at best, again service was ok, but the food was not where it should be, in fact not even close. We'd ponder staying at the hotel again due to location, but we'd not eat here. read more

Came here for happy hour. Our server was very friendly and kept checking in on us, which we appreciated. We started with three items to share, but it took over an hour for them to arrive. After asking how much longer it would be, the server had to confirm our order. So I'm guessing it hadn't been placed yet or the kitchen hadn't started preparing it. The food eventually came, but by then we had planned to order more, only to decide against it because of the long wait. We later learned there was a corporate event, so regular guests weren't a priority. Honestly, it's not worth going back. On top of that, the view we got was of another building. Not exactly what you hope for at a "rooftop bar." read more

Did a weekend happy hour date at Parker Rooftop and we were immediately greeted in the lobby and at the top floor hostess stand. We were asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside patio so we obviously choose the patio. The patio is not huge but it houses at least 12 tables of various party sizes and was super cutely decorated with a nice summer vibe and decor. Our server was really nice and friendly checking up on us several times. We decided to get one each of the Happy Hour dishes at $14 each plus a dozen oysters at $2 each. My boyfriend ordered a beer and I got a ginger ale. As we got a small table for 2, the server was kind and attentive enough to bring a small table over to put all of our food. The oysters were quite small, probably the smallest we've ever had. They were okay but likely would not order again. However, the rest of the Happy Hour dishes were solid! The truffle fries were an enormous size and tasted like Costco fries - crispy, warm, fresh, and amazing with truffle flavor and shredded cheese on top. We tried our best to finish this but had to give up but would definitely recommend to share as a group! The sliders were really good, no notes. Crispy prawns rolls were solid and appreciate that it wasn't done with nori (seaweed). Lastly, the mushroom aranchini had a good flavour but the rice used was more dense and not risotto. All food, drinks, and tax included came out to $97. Really cute patio and we'd definitely be back and hope they further expand their Happy Hour menu food offerings. One feedback I do have for the patio is there's a loose tile so everything someone walks over it, it chunks. It gets a bit annoying after awhile so hope the team fixes this issue sooner than later. read more

Friendly staff and great cocktails! For the strawberry aperol spritz and it was delicious. Just wish they had more food options for their happy hour otherwise, a delight read more

Enjoyed my experience here and went again a year later. It was again, a lovely experience! They had different set of cocktails so it was fun to try something new! My drink was so pretty, yummy, and refreshing. They gave us complimentary champagne on our way in so that was a nice extra touch! Definitely will visit again if I'm in Canada! read more

We came here for Happy Hour on our anniversary. I was looking for a Happy Hour place since we had a heavy lunch beforehand and decided on Parker Rooftop. We parked on the street about a block away. It wasn't too busy since it was a weekday. The drinks were great! My favorite was the Golden Hour. I ordered a couple of them. I wasn't a fan of the Aperol Spritz, but I was able to return it. My boyfriend ordered a Parker Mule. For food, we ordered two dozen oysters and caviar. It was our first time trying caviar, and since it was half off, why not? It was an interesting experience, and the servers gave us tips on how they prefer to eat caviar. It's not bad. My boyfriend didn't like the taste of the oysters, though. They gave us chocolates to celebrate our anniversary, which was a nice end to our visit! read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Parker Rooftop. To start, the staff are incredibly attentive and ensured every detail of our visit was taken care of. At one point, my phone was dying and the battery pack I had brought decided to stop working. The staff were kind enough to plug in my phone for me inside and watch it while it charged. Additionally, they made sure our glasses were not empty and made sure to recommend some fantastic food and drink options for us. As we were there on a Wednesday, we ordered one of their bottles of wine as it was 50% off. It happened to be a great bottle at a bargain price. We then ordered a few different appetizers including the fish and chip cones, the truffle fries, and the sliders. The fish and chip cones were so unique and had great flavours. They were crispy, bright, and left you wanting more. The truffle fries were as expected, yummy and a solid classic. The sliders looked like they would be a little dry, but ended up being well prepared and delicious. We managed to get a table on their beautiful patio, which even afforded us a small view of the celebration of lights fireworks (an added bonus for the night). I will be back here for sure! read more

5 Stars for class and ambiance alone. It's like a reverse speakeasy. You see a guy in the ally next to the red light. He sees if they can accommodate - and then up an elevator you go (although we did learn they take reservations as well). There's both inside and outside seating. The seating is well appointed and comfortable. Drinks: Coked Up and Parker Chocolate Orange. Both were decadent. Coked up a bit sweet for my taste, but unique and was worth ordering. We had the Fish and Chip Cones. They're part of the Happy Hour Menu. They were an interesting fusion of sushi meets fish and chips. We've checked out various happy hour spots in Vancouver over the years. Most aren't worth the hype or sadly have gone out of business over the years. This one... we'll be back on our next visit to Vancouver. We'd probably also call for reservations as we got one of the last two tables! read more

We came for happy hour on a Thursday and it was pretty empty. It started to fill up around 5:30pm. Golden hour ($12)- the passionfruit drink was pretty delicious. The gold flakes gave it that golden hour vibe. Very well thought out and easy to go down. A bit too sweet for me Caviar ($50)- the caviar came with the usual little blinis, creme fraiche/sour cream, chives. I would have liked capers and I felt like the egg white and egg yolk didn't really go with it. It would also fall off too easily. But overall I felt like this dish would be great for sharing among friends. The fish and chip cones ($12) - were definitely not the favorite of the table. The fish wasn't crispy and the rice was overcooked and tasted too strongly of vinegar. The wrap on the outside added nothing texturally. There would be no flavour if it wasn't for the soy sauce. I also didn't like the (what tasted like mayonnaise) sauce on the inside. It felt out of place. I would skip this next time The parker sliders ($12) were okay. Felt like it was missing a little more vegetable and the beef patty was dry. Service was really good. Very attentive and nice. Drinks came out fast but food was a bit slower. Server was able to answer all questions. Would recommend this place for caviar and drinks. I would try the oysters next time. read more

We went it wasn't packed . We got sat without a reservation. They give you complementary sparkling wine when you're waiting. I love the decor and atmosphere our waitress was very friendly and welcoming. They are a bit on the pricey side, but they offer happy hour I believe from 3 to 6 so you can get some cocktails and appetizers. They have some great views of the city. read more

Wonderful happy hour experience here. $18 a dozen oysters. Almost half off selection of drinks? And... discounted appetizers. Place was indeed bougier than I expected. A bride to be was celebrating here. It was raining though and we didn't get seated outdoors on the patio as we hoped. Though we did get promptly seated by the window and was treated to a lovely view of the construction site across. The dozen oysters are a must get, usually $40+. Fresh and sweet. And the Parker sliders were absolutely cute bite sized burgers, each with medium rare patty sandwiched between light toasty brioche bread. read more

What a fun vibe to enjoy drinks and appies on a rooftop patio overlooking Vancouver downtown. We went for happy hour on Sunday when they also had live music during dinner. They had a great happy hour and dinner menu. Amy was the best server! She was accommodating and so thoughtful from turning on the heated lamps to ensuring we got second round of drinks before happy hour ended. She also kindly split our bills separately for food and drinks. I would love to come back and enjoy the warm hospitality again. Also a bonus, valet is complimentary if you dine here. read more

met up with my girlies on a saturday night for happy hour at 4:45 pm on the rooftop patio. it was a perfect 24 degrees, and the patio was super comfy. located at 1379 howe, right at the corner of howe and pacific street, the parker rooftop is on the 9th floor, formerly the executive hotel, vintage park. the place is part of the table group family, boasting three separate patios, floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views of the city and ocean. it's got that upscale elegance but still feels laid-back enough for a fun night out. the ambiance was spot-on for happy hour. major shout out to beau, our server, who was totally on his a-game and took amazing care of us. we decided to order everything on the happy hour menu. the oysters were super fresh, though they varied in size, with some smaller than others. they came with horseradish, mignonette, and a wedge of lemon. the fish and chip cones were tasty but a bit tricky to eat, filled with rice, crispy tempura, pickled ginger, cucumber, and tartar, it fell apart when we picked it up. the mushroom arancini, balls of arborio rice stuffed with mushrooms, coated in breadcrumbs, and fried to perfection--definitely the highlight with their perfect flavour, texture, and creaminess. the truffle fries were generously portioned, golden and crisp with garlic aioli, though the truffle flavour was very faint. the parker sliders featured wagyu beef with garlic aioli, pickle, and lettuce and were just okay, nothing special. we had an unforgettable evening filled with lively conversation, laughter, and pure fun. we were giddy with excitement, to learn of my girlfriend's engagement, and beau surprised us with celebratory glasses of champagne. to top it off, he even comped us three bite-sized chocolate cake, which we devoured before the forks could even make it to the table. the vibe was fantastic, the company unbeatable, and the service top-notch. happy hour runs from 3 to 6, and all day sunday, because why limit happy to just an hour? read more

This review is solely to comment on the vibes and the fries (that rhymes!) I came with friends who ordered cocktails and delicious-looking drinks, but since I don't really drink, I ordered the Truffle fries. The fries were cooked to perfection. The outside stayed crisp, while the inside was soft. Though I found them a bit too salty, the parmesan on top was a nice umami add. There was also a mayo or creamy sauce for dipping, which helped to balance out the salt. Yum! (My friends noted that the drinks were really good!) The ambiance felt quite fancy since it was on a rooftop. The couches were lush, along with wide lounge chairs and low tables. Lighting was ambient (a bit dim) which set the mood for fancy times. read more

The service was mediocre. Waited a long time to get asked and waited even long for the food and drinks. Food was cold and drinks were average. Would not go back. read more

Nice looking hotel, has great potential. Upon arrival we were greeted and checked in by the Front desk manager. He made no mention about the roof top bar times, the hot tub being out of service or that there was a "restaurant" on the second floor. Room was SMALL but had some nice updates with more room for improvements. Read a sign about the restaurant. Went for breakfast and could not find a worker in sight and waited 5 minutes. I went to the kitchen to find a worker and ask if we should seat ourselves. She then Directed us in where to sit. There were 5 tables of people being served. Read at the bottom of the menu that there was a continental breakfast of which we were not offer no know anything about. Apparently we were not part of. There was an extremely limited menu. We ordered "The Usual " from the menu. The breakfast was good but the service just for getting seated and coffee was SLOW which I didn't understand as they were not busy. This hotel is likely not one I will return too as there are better ones here in Vancouver. read more

Great setting and service, overlooks the city from its rooftop bar/ lounge. Food it seems comes up from a downstairs kitchen via the elevator leaving items prone to being overcooked . I would say the food in general was good, the only issue is the overpriced steaks come out medium or medium well by the time it gets to your table and is eaten, and overall it was quite rubbery. Great drink options! read more

Our server, Rupee (hope I spelled it right) was phenomenal! The whole staff was super attentive and they were so accommodating with the fact that we have 2 kids with us. The oysters were so fresh, the sliders and drinks were well worth it. The ambiance is very nice and comfortable for large or small groups. So glad we made a stop here! read more

First, what they did well. They greet you with a short flute of cava. You can't beat the view! The local BC Little Wing oysters were fabulous! Happy hour price of $1.50 per oyster, minimum of a dozen, is insane! Normal price for a dozen oysters on the half shell in Vancouver is anywhere from $40-$50. At Parker I think they're normally $42 a dozen. Now for what they didn't do so great. We originally planned to go for happy hour dinner on a Sunday because the website states that happy hour is all day on Sundays and that there is live music at 7 PM on Sundays. We called the restaurant at about 2:30 PM Sunday just to verify, and were told that happy hour was only from 3 to 6 on Sundays, same as every day. I called back a couple hours later and was told the same thing. No such thing as all day happy hour on Sunday, whatever the website said was wrong. Big black mark in my opinion. We went back on a Tuesday after a large lunch and just had a happy hour glass of wine and dozen oysters. Other thing was the incredibly slow food service. There was lots of waitstaff. However, it was 45 minutes from the time we ordered the oysters until they were delivered to our table. And nobody acted like this was peculiar! We got no apologies or explanations. Our wine was gone by the time the oysters arrived. I will say, the slow food service was something we encountered multiple times in Vancouver. read more

You're greeted downstairs by the doorman who will confirm your reservation and then sends you up the elevator. Fabulous place for date night or a girls night. The rooftop views, the ambiance is all around classy and elegant vibes. We initially came in for cocktails but decided to grab small bites and had to move to a table to eat comfortably. The service was perfect and he came to check on us often which we appreciated. Overall, perfect setting and view of the city. read more

All fur coat no knickers, I'm afraid. Tried to be sophisticated, but that's just a very hard sell in Vancouver. Food is good, but nothing special and way overpriced. Made the mistake of coming on a Saturday night and it was packed with groups of women drinking cocktails and shrieking. No dress code, so it's Chinese people in tracksuits, Iranians looking like melted versions of Kim Kardashian and couples who are questioning why they chose this place. Just don't, it's trying to be something it's not and you pay a premium for a very ordinary venue. read more

Very nice rooftop bar for happy hour, wish we had made a reservation as it was a perfect day to be out on the patio but we got bar seats and enjoyed the fish and chip cones, nice to have it with soy paper but the fish tempura to rice proportion was off and mushroom arancini which was so delicious. It was made of arborio, wild & cultivated mushrooms, and it had aioli, grana padano, and truffle. We had a round of bubbles and then switched to rose when we ordered the dozen oysters. Make a reservation if you want a table during happy hour as they get busy. read more

We came to Parker Rooftop for NYE and had a blast. They really went all out to provide a top-quality experience during our visit including great craft cocktails, music, entertainers, a welcome drink, and more. They even had oysters and caviar throughout the night and a sirloin cutting station. They thought of pretty much everything! We love the midnight countdown and the go-go dancers who were dressed like Marilyn Monroe. The outside deck was covered and filled with heaters and party favors. It wasn't too crazy and certainly much better than being in a nightclub. The waitress was really friendly, she attended us well all night and stayed busy, but attentive. The security personnel were friendly at the door too. I really enjoyed every service interaction. I will come back one day for more food and cocktails and hopefully to stay at the Parker Hotel as well. Great time! read more

While we may be in October. Parker Rooftop launched their grand opening back in August with a new feel for luxury and comfort. The staff are so sweet, polite, and ready to provide a VIP experience for their customers. I can't forget how their cocktails and food left such a great impression on me. I had to bring my boyfriend for his birthday and my girlfriend for a drink or three. Speaking of; Drinks are a state of the art for Parker Rooftop. Indulge in their selection from beautifully made cocktails to a variety of wines. The food is so visually appealing as well as tasteful. I am very fond of this place and I cannot wait to come back! 10/10 Recommend read more

This has been on my list to visit for the past little while because it was popping off on my socials for the past year. They did such a big hype of this place that it was all over my socials for a whole month, it was calling for me so I had to do a happy hour at this place with my gays and my girlfriend. Surprisingly my gays didn't show up, they are not invited to HH again, so their fault, but me and my girlfriend had a fantastic time here. I didn't know it was going to be such a bougie vibe and on top of that, I wasn't expecting the waiters to all look amazingly dapper too. It almost felt like I travelled in time to the 1980. I enjoyed the décor and the small tables but I know those tables don't have enough space to eat on for sure. It surely is a bar environment instead of eating, when their menu is stacked with delicious food!! I love our server Charles, he was dapper and handsome. Charles was attentive and extremely friendly with us the whole time we were there. And he would answer a lot of questions that I had about the menu that night too. Me and my girlfriend literally ATE when we were here. We ordered cocktails and more cocktails, while devouring tons of shucked oysters for the whole time. And because the gays weren't there, we literally ate their portions too AHAHAHA! We were literally dedicating a whole Sunday to just DEVOUR oysters. We were getting so many looks from the skinny people in the restaurant that whole day, but we had 1 amazing cheer leader server who was like, YES EAT FOOD! I kinda laughed when he walked by. He was cool. The oysters were anything special, but it was such a good deal we might as well, and they were shucked well. I did once got a large piece of shell in my oyster, but I am happy we are giving the kitchen practice on how to shuck those oysters. LOL Anyways, I had a fantastic time, and maybe next time I will be back for more oysters or maybe sit at the patio and party it out with my gays. read more

The ambiance here is amazing, we were staying at the hotel and made reservations to have drinks and a quick bite and we were satisfied with our experience. We were extremely impressed by the Caesar salad, honestly probably one of the best Caesar salads I've ever had. The lettuce was crisp, the dressing was clearly homemade and the Parmesan crisps added an incredible texture. The fish and chip cones were a bit underwhelming but not horrible, they just lacked texture and flavor. The drinks were really good and refreshing. We went on a Sunday night and a Monday night. On Sunday they had live music and the performer was so talented! On Mondays they have happy hour all day! To drink, I got the golden hour and a martini with tequila that was made by our server. My partner got various different drinks and liked all of them. For dessert we got the Parker cigars, and the presentation was so cool! I would definitely come here again if I'm ever visiting Vancouver. read more

Amazing new rooftop patio! What a chill and stylish space with epic staff and service. I met so many staff members, everyone was so friendly and genuine. I had a wonderful happy hour experience at this brand new bar and lounge. I feel very lucky to share this amazing new spot with the world. This is where class and chill vibes meet!! We arrived post pride parade, so what a nice step back from the crazy, busy bustle of pride madness. This patio is a super niche rooftop with city view, tall buildings and you're tucked down in it's beauty. Intimate, quiet and completely brand new, having opened just two weeks ago. The patio furniture is new of course and actually comfortable. This is a wonderful spot to enjoy cocktails with friends and would make a romantic date place. My group, which was NOT so quiet and possibly a little annoying, were well looked after by both servers, Kate and Peter. They were amazing and tolerant lol! What an experience to come to such a great place before it likely explodes! This will be one of Vans top patios to visit, real quick. The menu is super small, but it's only two weeks old. They already mentioned menu growth and I made a couple suggestions ofc. I'd love to see some calamari and a pizza of some kind. A seafood style pizza would fit right in with the Oyster Motoyaki, which we enjoyed a couple orders of. HAPPY HOUR runs 3-6pm. Happy hour drinks are a steal $6 champagne, red, rose and white wine. The wine is a french vineyard I am not familiar with, but quite good. I did take snap of the HH menu so have a look. I hope it grows with more HH food features. The onion dip was very good, but I didn't love the chips. They very small and crumbly. Pita chips or warm pita and veggies would be better :). The mini beef slider burgers were bomb, so good in fact, I think a super sized version would make a great dinner entre! I can't wait to come back to see what's new on the menu!! Check it out! read more

Just arrived at the Parker... tried to refuse valet service and- OH! Not 20 minutes later, the front desk comes knocking at the door announcing that there was a huge deep scratch on the paint of my car. They then proceeded to attempt to gaslight me by proclaiming that it was only on the plastic. As any human with eyes could see, it was indeed on the paint. Extremely dissatisfying and disappointing. Not only were they a pain about that, but the woman at the front desk tried to stop us from filing an insurance claim. One could say... thats evil. Additionally, the TV did not work as shown and kept playing irritating ads nonstop until we called for assistance. Not to keep rambling, but the cherry on top was that the room smelled strongly of cigarettes upon arrival. BUT WAIT! THERES MORE! Upon arrival, there was none other than a lovely man with a needle hanging out of his arm by the parking garage!!! Safe to say I will NEVER be staying at this hotel ever again, NOR will I recommend this hotel to anyone who asks me about Canada as a whole. read more
