    Food 3.5 Service 4 Ambiance 3.5 Fish and chips are normal. The batter is a lot bigger than the fish itself and the portion of fries is very generous. The butter chicken is rich. The one naan bread looks very oily and sad. Attentive service. Love the high ceiling that creates the feeling of expansiveness.

    FOOD - Poutine: fries topped with curds, gravy, and herbs. The portion was huge. It was good at first but it quickly got too much for me. 3.5/5 - Chicken Wings: 6 pieces of wings. We chose soy ginger and salt & pepper. Both were good. The wings were meaty and tender. 4/5 SERVICE: We got in really late and were happy they served late night dinner. The server was very nice and welcoming. 5/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: Food and service were good. Prices were a little steep but that's typical of hotel restaurants.

    We visited the restaurant for dinner and breakfast when we were staying at the hotel. Food was good and the staff were friendly. There is lots of seating, so there is usually no wait time. In the mornings, they have a great brunch buffet which we enjoyed. It is reasonably priced compared to other restaurants in downtown. The 5 star rating is mainly for their brunch buffet.

    DOVF - Tiramisu cake and house sorbetto
    Rosalyn L.

    Made a dinner reservation for dineout and boy did this place impress! For their $49 dineout menu, I ordered the burrata and beet appy, rigatoni semolina pasta, and the bailey's tiramisu, and they provided us fresh bread and butter to start. The appetizer was amazing and each element enhanced the dish in a different way. The rigatoni was delicious as well, and every element of the dish was done to perfection (especially the fried mushrooms which tasted almost like ebi tempura despite it being a vegetarian dish! Mind blown.) The tiramisu for dessert wasn't exactly a true tiramisu, definitely more like a cake with tiramisu flavour but it was unique and tasty nonetheless. My partner ordered the other options for dineout - beef carpaccio, lamb rack and house sorbetto. Each of these were delicious as well. The lamb was cooked to perfection and the sorbetto includes three different flavours (mango, strawberry and raspberry), I would recommend it if you want a lighter end to your meal. Service was great. The staff was friendly and happy to accommodate any food allergies or preferences. The restaurant is attached to a hotel and my only gripe would be that the bathrooms are a bit far away, though super spacious and clean. Also weird thing to note but I loved their water glasses! Showcase is seriously underrated and a bit of a hidden gem in the downtown Vancouver area, and I can definitely see myself coming back here soon.

    Sausage and Chicken Flatbread

    We ate at Showcase restaurant on Christmas Eve after our other plans fell through. This restaurant is located inside the Marriott Hotel. They were full in the dining room and were not accepting any more reservations for the evening. We were grateful they were still accepting walk-ins at the bar. They had a very limited menu. The food was just something simple to get us through the night. With it being the Eve of Christmas. Most places closed early or you had to have a reservation to dine. I ordered: The grilled chicken Caesar salad with bacon. They forgot the bacon, and after 3 bites, I realized something was missing. Then, they made it right by bringing out a small cup of bacon. That assisted with the overall taste. The other order was a flatbread with sausage, chicken, spinach, cheese, and pickled red onions. The service was good, but not great. The food was average and not outstanding. I have had both items elsewhere, so I know the difference.

    West Coast Fish & Chips
    Celine L.

    Overall a pretty good experience! We went for happy hour on a week day and it was decently busy. We ordered the flatbread ($15), the calamari $15) and the draft beer ($8) off the Happy Hour menu. It's about $2-3 less than the regular menu. Everything tasted good but we feel that the food could've been slightly hotter. We also got the West Coast fish & chips ($28) off the regular menu and it was pretty good too! This dish came out hot and felt more freshly made. We love the high ceilings and the natural light because of the big windows. The service was nice but not overly attentive as we didn't get any water refills. It wasn't a huge deal to us though!

    Warm scallop and prawn salad
    Amanda R.

    Stopped by Showcase for lunch while in Vancouver. We arrived on a Sunday around 11:45 - they had about 15 minutes left on their breakfast buffet. They seated us, and got us drinks while we waited for the menu to switch over to lunch. The hostess was incredibly kind and friendly - even offering to fill our water bottles for us. We ended up order poutine and the warm scallop and prawn salad. Everything was delish! The poutine is a LARGE portion - great for sharing and the warm salad provided some nutrition for our meal. Definitely worth a stop if in the area.

    What a breath of fresh air! This trendy Gem is located inside the Marriott Pinnacle Harbor Hotel. Awesome BAR area with attentive staff: Alvin in particular was friendly and engaging. I decided to try the Soy Ginger with Spicy Mayo Chicken Wings.. Wow! Beyond belief! I'm a real stickler for good Wings.. These wings were easily in my TOP 5 Category. Right up there with the original Buffalo Chicken Wing Recipe from the Anchor Bar in Buffalo NY My wife raved about the Crab Cakes... Oh yeah, HUGE TV's EVERYWHERE! Sports galore on the TV's all day and night! We shall return!

    The restaurant have a very good location. Easily accessible from outside as it is for hotel guests. Situated inside hotel Mariot already set a bar of excellence for you and so it is maintained well. Food is good and drinks selection is good especially because they are served in specific glassware for Christmas. Couldn't eat a lot of food but two things tried were good.

    Excellent location, great restaurant and yummy food. During our stay in Vancouver, we dined in this restaurant two times. The first time is their holiday special, the Christmas Day brunch and the other is a regular dinner. Both are extraordinarily good. The Christmas Day brunch is very popular. Make sure you make reservation well in advance. We saw a LOT of people for turn away that morning. The food was fresh with a lot of variety (compare with similar level of restaurants in Vancouver, please do not expect the same level as buffet in HK hotel). With raw oyster, sushi, cold seafood, typical brunch food, craving station. Dessert is exceptional. They made the dessert so festive and I end up getting one of everything. The raw oysters are small, but still pretty fresh and tasty. As of the regular dinner, their menu is not huge, but the cooking is still pretty well. We dined with a large party and everyone get different entree and dessert. Everyone was very satisfied with the quality of food that they are served. The whole setup is the restaurant is festive and cozy. The servers are all pleasant and nice. A definitely good choice for dining in downtown Vancouver.

    Mixed Baby Green Salad - highly recommend it.
    Richard H.

    Ate hear several times during the week once for dinner, twice for lunch including their Christmas lunch buffet as well as the Breakfast Buffet. Food was fantastic and service was just as great with a shout out to Lily, Noel and Dwayne who served me during my five night stay here. I used to think the Feenie Smash burger at Cactus Club was great but whoever made my Smash-burger here was definitely a cut above the Cactus Clubs. Components were nicely put together which made for a great taste! I also highly recommend the house salad which I had for dinner one night. Will definitely try to stay here the next time but if not, will stop by for that burger and salad.

    We stayed at the Marriott Pinnacle and got in late after a grueling day of flying. No tables free, so we sat at the bar. Bartender couldn't have been nicer or more attentive. He got us drinks and food fast and we were able to finally relax. We were so surprised by the quality of the food. Weren't expecting much from a hotel bar, but everything we had was scrumptious. We had the artisan bread with herbed honey butter, salmon tacos and a Flatbread. The tacos were to die for

    Showcase Restaurant Sunday Date Night Dinner Special This is a 3-course shared menu offered on Sunday nights and it's $49 per person. They also offer 50% off select wines. To be honest, $49 is totally worth the quality and amount of food you get. As a bonus, they had live music. If I had to rank the 3 courses I would say that my favourite was the appetizer, then dessert, then the main course. They are located in the heart of downtown and less than a 5-minute walk from the Olympic Cauldron. After dinner we decided to go for a walk by the water, I'd highly recommend you do the same. Make sure to book your next date night for this Sunday with them. The bar seemed cool and the live music was located right beside the bar. It definitely seemed like a great place to go for a couple of drinks with a friend or colleague.

    I came for their Low Tide (happy hour) for some oysters and a beer. I sat at the bar and was…read moregreeted by an excellent bartender. The service is great here and the ambiance is kind of classy. I loved getting to watch the bartender shuck the oysters and grate some fresh horseradish on the plate. It was also really fun that they had a variety of sauces you could put on the oysters ranging from a mild mignonette vinegar and cocktail sauce to spicy hot sauces. The oysters that day were from Fanny Bay, so they were very plump and juicy! The addition of the fresh horseradish on the oysters added a really nice flavor with just a hint of the spicy kick you get from jarred horseradish. I also order the shrimp and lobster sliders, which were very tasty.

The flavors were clean, balanced, and absolutely delicious. Definitely a meal we won't forget! We asked for recommendations on local oysters and tried the Island Tides, Kusshi, and Beachcomber. Each one had its own distinct character, from the texture to the brininess and subtle sweetness. Honestly, I could eat these every day. Make sure to their the house sauces, so many beautiful flavors in just a few bites. The potato crusted halibut and mussels were some of the best I've had. Seriously exceptional quality. They absolutely nailed every dish. The flavors, execution, and freshness were all on point. The only downside was the AC, it was barely doing its job when we visited. Honestly, it felt less like dining out and more like having dinner in Arizona. All in all, absolutely loved it and would come back in a heartbeat.

Thankfully our evening experience was just as wonderful as ever. We started with the Shellfish Plateau, a perfect fresh platter for two (and had a few extra oysters added, just because). Every item was delicious, I especially enjoyed the sweet scallops on the shell. (Ok, I'm not a fan of jellyfish salad but my wife enjoyed it.). Highly recommended. For entrees, we had an old favorite, the Miso Black Cod, excuse me, now called the Haida Gwai Sablefish, and a seasonal special Halibut. The first time we ever had miso black cod was at Blue Water; the dish is as delicious as ever. And the tender, flaky halibut was pan-seared perfectly. Our outdoor seating was ideal for a Vancouver August clear-sky evening and our server was chatty, perhaps, but attentive. I'm getting hungry again writing this review. Blue Water Cafe was once among, if not the top-rated restaurant in the city. In my view it's as good as ever.

    When I made the reservation I had a maybe unusual standard for how I planned to rate this place and…read moreit wasn't based on the food or price or wine list or much of anything you might want to know about. It all started in Santa Monica in 1989, on Academy Awards night. This little buildup probably won't seem very relevant to many here but so what, it's about how well a high-end restaurant receives people with infants. I'm unlikely to have, not to say unworthy of, more than one grandchild. And this one won't see much of dear old grandpa being that my son and family live in Vancouver. Not a great distance to travel but on the other hand it's not next door. Plus the maternal grandparents moved from Connecticut to live in a coastal community located maybe 50 miles from the border. All-wise grandmothers being the helicopters they truly are, what does anyone need this degenerate hedonist for? Well, for one thing the parents need a chance to relive the excesses and finery that they once tasted, as part of their affluent lives before parenthood. while i don't know how to comfort a relentlessly colicy 3-month old i do know how to enjoy the best restaurants in town, or at least ones that will take my reservation. I suggested the Blue Water based on one friend's approval and all were happy. now as to the 1989 academy awards and a well-known restaurant in the day, Chinois. at the time i had a small child in tow, not quite the infant stage of this current vintage but young enough still to be driven by the primeval lizard brainstem than the more highly evolved human cerebral cortex of its brain. i warned the restaurant when making the reservation and was told that, yes, this particular evening they would be quite busy with revelers from the awards ceremony but if we came at 5 pm they would happily accommodate us with young child. just so happens, that exactly almost what the Blue Water said when I called for our reservation. I suppose the best to do is describe the food we ordered. In advance i invited the young couple to do as much damage to my credit card as they wanted, as they'd been cooped up for the past 4 months with this infant. their first choice was this damned seafood tower which seemed to me beforehand, and after as well, to be more a kind of concept product. i'd have preferred to order individual plates of various shellfish, oysters or whatever, than this multilayer assemblage. but it is a showy kind of construction and what did i care, really. everything on the three tiers was quite fresh and tasty except i'd have foregone the shrimp. really shrimp are in my mind more than a bit overrated and don't belong in the same plate with fresh "varietal" oysters from here or there. aside from the tower we ordered a few different sushi, my favorite being yellowtale, plus carrot soup all around (healthy dose of butter there), mains were arctic char, sable and atlantic scallops. if available i have a kind of fetish for sauteed spinach (as a kind of audition dish), and someone wanted an extra round of oysters from i don't know where. after mentally doing a little math i realized the total seemed lightweight, but the wine list took care of that problem. my favorite white wine is chablis grand cru made/bottled by a vigneron (grapegrower/winemaker under one roof). anything else is either a lower tier vineyard or a blend which, while good, lacks a sense of origin. some use a term "terroir" which i ignore but maybe it's more that i ignore the people who like to bandy such abstract wine descriptors about. anyway, here was a perfectly good les clos, about 6 years old, for i think around $250 canadian. i have also to point out that i've been disappointed with almost every euro wine i've had in canada, owing i suspect to the high duty the government places on all imported wine in effort to protect its own ham-handed, homegrown products, which are usually absolutely nothing to write home about. fortunately this particular bottle of chablis was really really good. after all that we had various desserts, and whatever. at Chinois on academy awards night, we arrived at 5 pm and were seated in a very prominent location in the room, but with a plastic sheet under the child's seat. this was a good thought on the part of the manager. without going into any details best to say my 2-yr old made a mess of things but the waitstaff could not have been more accepting. i was frankly impressed, as i was when our dinner at Blue Water came to an end. So my score is 4 for food (i really don't know what it would take to get 5* from me, so take that for what it is) and 1* for absolutely perfect service. Highly recommend this very stylish restaurant for whatever occasion.
