    Pulled pork sourdough pancakes
    Art C.

    I was staying at the hotel, so I went here. I thought I was taking a risk getting something with pulled pork on it while north of Nashville, but the pulled pork sourdough pancakes were good. Food: interesting but pricey, fortunately, it was a business trip. The service was great; the server left a pot of coffee and carafe of water at the table, so I was able to spend my time there more or less undisturbed. It seems like a small thing, but it's great when getting ready for a day of being "on" pretty much constantly.

    Stayed at Coast Hotel for a team meeting and we had our Happy Hour here twice. Their appetizers were good and drinks too. They accidentally overcharged my boss but they were very apologetic about it and ensured we get our appetizers free the next day. Great service, great location and good food. Price was okay too.

    I decided to come here to surprise my girlfriend on our 2 year anniversary! We ordered the seared scallops to start. The presentation was great and the taste reflected the look! The scallops were perfectly cooked and were very tender. The flavours were perfect but not overpowering. For the main I ordered beef tenderloin. I got it medium rare and it was perfectly cooked! Presentation on the plate was very appealing. The steak was very moist and tender. We also got a side fries and they were seasoned perfectly and very crispy. Overall this place is great for a small get together or special occasion. The overall atmosphere of the restaurant is very calming and surprising the noise level was quite low disputes being surrounded by people out on a Saturday night. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends, family and of course you yelpers reading this review!

    Better than I expected.The menu items are a bit pricey but it was very tasty. Menu: I ordered the fish and asked for it without sesame seeds. I sometimes forget that many restaurants like to encrust fish with sesame seeds but this time I remembered. The fish was served with purple sweet potato, roasted potato, grapes and bacon. The sweet potato had mascarpone in it so be aware if you are very lactose intolerant. I considered asking for a substitution but I was feeling adventurous that day. The combination sounds crazy but it was really good. Service: It was very busy that evening but our meals came out quickly and without sesame seeds. Venue: Prestons is close to Coal Harbor. That area is a bit quiet at night so you will find parking right in front in the evening. The interior is very classy and feels cozy.

    Chicken waffle with a salad as side. Mediocre.

    Came here quite a few times during lunch with colleagues but I've never been impressed with the food. It's always mediocre but since the restaurant is too close to our office... the chicken waffle was very bland... considering how much I usually love any kind of waffle.

    Great service, bland food. Visited here with some co workers for a lunch date. Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted and sat down by the receptionist. Our server B was friendly and helpful, making sure to check on us every so often. While the service was very good, I have to admit that the food was below average. I ordered the avocado fritters and one of my friend ordered the fish taco which I helped myself to . The fritter lacked flavour and was greasy, leaving a weird taste and sensation in my mouth. The fish taco was no better, cold and bland. I most likely won't come back here in the future.

    $10 vegetable chips with humus. 50% off during Happy Hour.

    Couldn't get their free wifi working on our MacBooks but the staff was friendly and actively looked into the problem. Good selection of Happy Hour options. Happy Hour offerings: $3 highballs, $5 House wine, $6 selected cocktails and 50% selected appetizers. Vegetable chips with humus are delicious and perfect for sharing!

    Special of the evening - seafood pasta in a soya cream sauce ($25)
    Lily V.

    I was staying at the hotel and didn't feel like going out in the rain, so stopped here twice: once for a late dinner and once for an early dinner that coincided with happy hour. The restaurant itself is pretty standard in terms of decor. Dark tables, dim lighting, big booths along the side and one giant table in the middle that looked like it was made out of a beautiful tree. Service was ok. Some people were really friendly and others were a bit aloof. I tried the special entree one evening, which was a seafood pasta in a soya cream sauce for $25. Portion size was good and there was lots of seafood (salmon, shrimp, scallops and 2 clams). The sauce was incredible. Without it, it'd have been an average pasta - but the sauce was so good. I came back on another evening and caught the tail end of happy hour - there's a menu with half price items and cheap drinks. $3 for highballs were a great deal. I ordered the calamari ($8) upon the server's recommendation and thought it could have been crispier and seasoned better. The kale and spinach salad ($7) was delicious. A sweetness to the dressing and croissant croutons! Croutons! Made of croissants!! Buttery and flaky. So good. I also tried the Mille fuille dessert ($12) because everyone who worked there said it was the best dessert I'd ever eat. I guess I'm a traditionalist, because this was not a Mille fuille I'd recognize. Puff pastry with chocolate and fresh raspberries - though good enough, not what I was hoping it'd be. I'd come back for happy hour since there were other things on the menu I'd like to try. And at those prices, you really can't go wrong.

    Chicken and waffles with their garden salad (with pickled onions) because I subbed out the fries!

    Came here for a coworker's birthday during lunch, which was empty. I wonder why... They advertised a 12 minute express lunch but we didn't order from that side of the menu so I can't comment. Food was really good; had the chicken and waffles and it was delicious! Most people loved their food, so the food is not an issue. What the issue was (and it's a big one), was the terrible lack of service! After the food was served, our server disappeared despite our request to bring out the cake we brought in! Also, there's a $25 cake fee which we thought was ridiculous for a small little restaurant. The manager was nice enough to waive it if we ordered some desserts. In total, it took the server 50 minutes to bring out our cake with candles on it because she disappeared and NO OTHER SERVERS would help us, not even the manager?!?! It's clear we are all waiting for something but nobody would approach us except tell us our server was coming (she was not). Terrible management. What kind of a restaurant manager doesn't get other servers to help out? I understand everyone gets tables but the restaurant wasn't full, it wasn't busy despite being prime lunch hour, and the manager didn't help us nor did any other servers. I don't place the blame solely on the server but I spread this lack of service to the entire way the restaurant is run; it must be a top down strategy that causes other servers not to lend our own server a hand. They need to change this. This is probably why despite the delicious food, the restaurant is empty. It also took another 40 minutes for us to get our bill. We all started putting on our jackets to show how impatient we were and even then our sever or the other servers and manager never came by!! Ridiculous. In total, I would come again but only if I have 2.5 hours to spare because that's HOW LONG LUNCH TOOK!! I would give zero stars for service but 5 stars for food, hence the averaged 3 stars in total. Preston's please change your restaurant management strategy. Servers should help one another, not focus solely on their own tables especially when we are on a lunch break and need to get back to work on a timely basis, not after 2.5 hours at lunch! Geez.

    After a long hard Monday (not really), most of the Vancouver dining community came out for the celebration of Prestons new menu. The drinks were good. In addition to their signature cocktail, I had a (very strong) bourbon tea sour. There were some fun drinks on the menu including lemon martinis, a Toblerone chocolate martini, and many more. Somehow, I can't ever imagine Chuck Norris drinking the drink that bears his name, a roundhouse kick of a martini no less. The food itself was fairly tasty. The short ribs were delicious. The gyōzas were scrumptious as well. I was a little disappointed, however, with the pulled pork poutine and sliders. The green tea matcha crème brûlées were pretty sweet. I really enjoyed the presentation with dim sum style containers, take out boxes, etc. It was a fun times in the intimate hotel restaurant and bar. I'd like to try it again.

    Chicken penne pasta
    S C.

    Well to tell you the truth I was surprised that such nice restaurant served :( so so dishes. For starters my husband and I stayed @ the Coast Coal Harbour Hotel and got a free appetizer (which was great). Then decided to dine in and have a few drinks. The drinks were ok...the appetizer was ok but our meal wasn't what we expected. I ordered the chicken penne pasta and for my surprise they serve that dish with dark meat chicken....not so tasty. My husband ordered the steak and it was ok. I think that their menu lacks of a bit of info on their dishes...but overall nice restaurant.

    Breakfast for around $15. The bacon was very good.
    Steven A.

    We are staying at the hotel and tried Preston's 3 times. Our first experience was okay. We got to the restaurant at 9:55 pm and waited to be seated to no avail. Finally we walked to the bar and found a Server. She sat us and told us we were too late for dinner as she handed us the late night menu. She said they stopped dinner at 10 pm. It was 10:01 at that moment. I ordered the burger. It was okay. Too much bread. And the bread was somewhat cold and stale. The burger and bacon were very good. My wife ordered the crab quesadillas and liked them a lot. With 2 pepsis, our total was over $50. Yikes. Breakfast was good but expensive. We spent over $50 on 2 breakfasts with coffee. Too expensive. Service was good. Do not order fries at the bar.

    Cubano sandwich, very yummy

    From the exterior, it looked like an upscale Italian restaurant, great for a nice sit down dinner…read moreto catch up with friends. We got a table inside, and the music was extremely loud (think club vibes). The music was amazing, but for the wrong setting. Our group ended up texting one another as we couldn't hear ourselves. As for food I got some pasta and truffle fries. The pasta was incredibly bland, but the fries were delicious! Our server was also lovely - friendly and attentive.

Their food was really good, truffle fries are quite rich and flavourful, same with the beef carpaccio. I don't think the menu mentions it comes with these sliced toasted baguettes which were topped with olive oil and balsamic glaze. Service was slightly disappointing as our service was quite flat. Two instances, both not the fault of our server, but the bar had a friend a drink in a dirty glass, she ordered a clear drink but it was brown tinged, and had a weird flavour. Multiple people at the table tried it before we told the server that it seemed off. It was slightly off putting, but our server went back and got a new one for my friend. Second thing, they said they updated their POS so for some reason the person who had the most alcoholic drinks had been put in with a really high autogratuity, but it was strange because everyone else at the party had the regular autograt of 20% I believe and the only person who was drunk ended up getting 30% or something of the sort. Our server again, amazing and took care of it working with the manager who fixed it and came to apologize but the optics of that only happening to the one drunk person if the party, well you know. Kinda left an unsatisfactory taste in everyone's mouths regarding the service. Food was still great and so was our server, and the manager who came to personally apologize about the issue.

Everything on the HH menu is $5 3-6pm and all day Wednesday. We also got the meatball appetizer and the Baccala on toast. Bartender was friendly enough, gave some recommendations where to go for dinner. But then a very large party was being seated at the adjacent restaurant that the bar seems to also serve, and she got tied up pretty bad. We did see a couple come in and wait for a pretty long time and then just take off. And then the bar was closed for this private party at 7pm, and we had sort of planned on a nightcap after dinner in there. Fortunately we found PLENTY of awesome places to go after dinner so it was not an issue. While there during Happy Hour, the crowd was empty at first and the place filled up completely by the time we left. 30's and 40's crowd.

If you're looking for a comfortable,quiet, and cosy bar this is not the place for you. This is a place where Vancouverites get dressed up in their finest dark washed jeans. Am I being facetious - yes I am...but lets face it that's what passes for high fashion in this city. Celebrity sightings are not totally uncommon here, the servers are all friendly and quick to bring your drinks, and you're guaranteed plenty of beautiful people eye-candy. It's also a bar targeting a slightly more mature age group with their larger disposable income - so no annoying teeny boppers knocking back B-52's here and whoohooing it up. One shocking thing I discovered on my last visit to OPUS Bar, was that they aren't allowed to do "real" bottle service there. So if you order a bottle of Goose for the table, be prepared to have your server take it away and bring it back out only when requested or when glasses start to go empty - thankfully Champagne & Wine are exempt from this strange rule.
