I was recommended The Sedgwick by a friend as a restaurant to visit in Vancouver, but I was pretty disappointed with it. I loved the decor and was really excited when we came in (love the Marilyn Monroe figure), but was sorely disappointed by the actual food. I believe they have high-quality ingredients and creative minds in the kitchen, but their end results... are not really that great. I will say, their sauces and seasonings were pretty good, but they weren't enough to help the main dish. - Fried Rabbit: 1/5, too much breading and didn't taste like anything - Pork Cheeks: 2/5, pretty tender but not that much meat - Cornmeal Crusted Trout: 1/5, also too much breading and overcooked - Baked Brie: 4/5, this was pretty good, as I had expected. It's pretty hard to mess up baked brie! I liked the addition of honey, but the honeypot that it comes in is impractical to use. - Mushroom Risotto: 5/5, although quite rich, this was my favorite part of the meal. The risotto actually tastes like truffle and everyone at my table agreed it was the best part. - Scallop Yakitori: 5/5, this one was great. I think we should have just stuck to the Yakitori part of the menu, since the portions here were great and cooked well. read more

Love Love Love The Sedgwick! We were a party of 5, sat in the bar area. The bar is a large open seating area that is gorgeous, sexy and romantic. Our server, a gentleman was funny and informative. We ordered drinks that were priced competitively from $11 to $15. Off the dinner menu which comprised off small plates perfect for sharing. we ordered the following. HOUSE PORK CRAKLIN $5.50 chicharron, queso crumbles, apples & pears . fennel peach marmalade. *This dish was a 10. I have had cracklin before but nothing like this. The fennel peach marmalade put this dish over the top. I now crave Craklin! Serving size 2-3 people. DUCK FAT FRIES $9.50 Twice cooked . topped with manchego & chives . served with duck fennel peppercorn gravy. *Dressing the fries with duck fennel gravy made the fries seem elegant and flavorful. Who needs ketchup not this dish. Large portion enough for 5 people. MURRY'S CORNER BURGER $11.00 Grilled sweet roll . swiss . bacon, sundried tomato, coffee jam . tempura cremini mushroom . chili lime aioli *My husband loves burgers this burger did not disappoint. The burger was cooked perfectly medium, without asking. The sweet roll bun topped upon a savory meat patty is a winning and unique combo. You can't beat the ala carte price of 11 bucks ...for a gourmet burger with quality toppings. FRIED OLIVES $5.50 served with a garlic chive basil aoili *Who doesn't love fried olives! The dipping sauce was incredible. The Sedgwick also has a wonderful Yakitori menu. Yakitori is a Japanese type of skewered chicken, fish or lamb grilled over a charcoal fire. Skewers are priced at $2.50 to $6 per order. We got shrimp, (3) skewers and Scallop (4) skewers. You can't beat the price! read more

We had high hopes for this place, but the overall experience was disappointing. Perhaps a clue should have been it was dinner time on a Saturday night and there was hardly anyone there. The menu & decor looks like a nicer restaurant, good for a date night, but the music they were playing on a Saturday night seemed to be at odds with that vibe (we enjoy current music, but on this night it was a bit too clubby & a tad too loud). And I get wanting to have a bit of cheeky fun with your holiday cocktails menu, but when you use the word "testicles" in the name of one of your holiday drinks, it's a bit too much for this type of restaurant (maybe use "jingle balls" instead?). The food was hit or miss. We loved the chicken yakitori, but it would have been better if they served it removed from the skewer (it was awkward to try & remove the meat from the skewer, especially on the skinny plate it was served on), and they need to give you more of the chutney it's served with (there was maybe 2 tsp of it on a small plate). The harissa roasted cauliflower was supposedly seasoned with coconut curry & harissa, which we couldn't taste, and it came with candied blood orange & kumquats which were so strong in a sickly orange flavor they were a bit like soap. The third small plate we tried was the cornmeal crusted trout which didn't seem to go with the cold Tom Yum sauce it was served with, but the cucumber salad it also came with was good. I understand they are going for some interesting and unique flavor combos, but some of theses were just misses The service was so-so. Our server was very nice, but when it came time to clear the table and bring the check she was doing everything but that. After 10 minutes of staring at our empty plates, eventually someone came to clear the table, and then we waited another 10 minutes for the check. read more

Food was ok but prices were kind of high. Service was kind of slow. Parking is sometimes hard.

Went to dinner with my husband, started meal with about 4 starters. Everything seemed to be flowing fine. after our steak asked for dessert menu and this VERY ANGRY manager arrived at our table. She came in hot. I was asking about bread pudding, she was flipping her head around and left. when she came back I explained I'm not used to being spoken to in that manner, that got her even more hot. She lied to us and said our waitress said we were being disrespectful all night. My husband said we were going to skip dessert and she said good idea. On our way out I asked our waitress if she was offended by us and she said no. This place isn't fine dining. Our bill was almost 250 dollars. My husband wrote in tip section "asked to leave ". Clearly, they need to shake up management team. read more

We visited with a large group for a birthday party. First of all, the ordering system seems a bit odd and our waitress was quite frantic, This is supposed to be a place where you share plates... honestly with a group our size it was just too much to discern the financials of it all, so we each ordered things we wanted to try and split up the bill by groups. This really seemed to overwhelm our server. The BEST thing we ate was the mushroom/truffle risotto so flavorful and deliciously decadent. I tried bone marrow and escargot for the first time! Loved the bone marrow, so rich! The escargot wasn't bad either. This added a hint of elegance and luxury to our meal for sure! The pork rind appetizer was okay and the asparagus was alright too but nothing spectacular. Even though we were STUFFED I am so glad I ordered some desserts to share. Particularly enjoyed the smoked chocolate mouse the presentation was lovely with the smoke billowing and twirling out of the container. Can't figure out how to get videos on Yelp! ... would DEFINITELY visit again. Maybe with a smaller group it will fell less chaotic and more manageable for the staff. It's a small intimate restaurant. read more

I don't like to give negative reviews but this was the worst experience at a restaurant I've had in a while. Took the restaurant a good while to seat us and once they finally did they only brought out one of the two entrees we ordered. It took literally at least another 25 minutes for them to bring out the other one. My sister had finished her meal by the time they finally bought out my dish. Wow, is this the standard of restaurants these days? Let one person eat at time, then 30 minutes later bring out the other dish? The worst part of it all, was the terrrrrrrible food. I got the Lamb Belly Carbonara and it was like pasta out of a rice a roni box. There was about 4 little cubes of lamb in there that were chewy and completely unappetizing. The sauce was completely disgusting. Because my sister was already done with her food by the time my dish arrived, I just took it to go. I put it on a plate when I got home which is the picture in this post. read more

Love the atmosphere & service was amazing. Add the great tasting food & you have a perfect date spot or out with friends evening. Everything is shareable & taste delicious. Love this way of dining as you can try many dishes. The ribeye yakitori was one of my favorite along with the truffle Mac & cheese. The chocolate dessert also very good. Everything comes out as it's done so you are getting couple plates usually at a time pending on how busy they are. Know the later into the evening the busier it gets. We where able to seat really quickly at 5pm. But by the time we left there was a short wait. Parties of 8 or more can make reservations & I would highly recommend it. We will for sure come here on each of our visits to this area which is monthly. Thank you to there amazing server who did a great job. read more

I realllllllyyyyyyyy wanted to love this place. Saw awesome reviews and promising photos. Ambience 9/10 beautiful place; love the lighting and overall vibe. Our server was also sweet and helpful, it was only her and one other girl who seem more like a hostess / busser. It wasn't super busy, but she did a great job of balancing the tables as well as a larger party that looked like they were there for a holiday company gathering. ANYWAYS. They do not have a kids menu, but do have a kids macaroni. So isn't very family friendly. The ambiance gives me more of a dark date night / girls night vibe. We ordered the corn on happy hour, that was delicious. My daughter demolished the plate and loved it, we also ordered the grilled octopus which was to die for and extremely tender. I cut through it with my fork. Those were definitely the best two items. The potato crusted halibut was $42, and was extremely dry in the middle. It did come with some purées on the plate which definitely helped. Worst dish of the night was the lamb carbonara, the lamb was the highlight but there was literally 7 pieces. 5 of them were EXTREMELY crispy. The pasta was insanely salty, like someone accidentally poured salt and then said "oh well" I would wanna try this one more time to see if the yakitori is any good, as well as their other happy hour items. I have no complaints of the service, ambiance and drinks. We got a margarita and espresso martini, those were delicious! Spending $74 on two main entrees that were overcooked and salty was not how I imagined my experience of main entree would be here read more

Ambiance 5 service 5 food 5 i can leave a long descriptive review on this place but im from California and i probably will never have the pleasure of eating here again. I wish this place was here in L.A. Been working in restaurants almost 25 years and this place checks off every box!! read more

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways: - Fun drinks - Awesome food - The ambiance - Good Service On a dreary gloomy weekday Sedgewick made our spirits high and how !! The restaurant was partially filled as it was middle of the week and we were promptly attended . The food menu here is mostly Small plates , which I am a huge fan of .What I did not like was the paper menu where you tick off the dishes one by one , I mean its not that hard to take an order if the server is anyways attending to you .We proceeded to order a variety of things Pork belly Yakitori Mac n cheese - This was a kickass Mac n cheese ,especially the tomatoes really added to the flavor . Harissa Cauliflower - My favorite item on the menu , the sauce that came with it was the showstopper for me Fried Olives - If you know me by now , you know there has to be something fried on my order always . The olives did not disappoint. The drinks were refreshing and boozy and we ordered more than one rounds of the same thing. I was a big fan of the Rosemary Mule. Service was attentive and fast and the restaurant location is very convenient. read more

Birthday for my husband- recap Food was amazing! Atmosphere was quiet and intimate Service was slow to greet and seat us and no sign saying please wait or seat yourself so we sat ourselves because we didn't know. That was awkward for us but next time we will know that someone will seat us. (Not a big deal) Special cocktails are so good and really pretty. I would definitely go again, I just need to be prepared to spend a little more dinner money than usual read more

Came here Friday afternoon the weekend of Mother's Day. Walked in and it was in the off hour so I was seated by Melissa right away. My first time here so I had a bunch of questions and since it was in the off hour I had time to ask and interact with the server/bartender Melissa. My wife had a drink which was amazing (so she said). It was mid afternoon so we were here for just food and not a big meal. We shared a beet salad, the Brie cheese dish and karaage chicken and man the flavors and portions for what we were looking for super exceeded our expectations. The place was bright and clean, comfortable and welcoming. Reading the other reviews, hopefully when we come back we get the same experience and I will for sure be giving an update when we're able to make it back in. read more

Absolutely amazing food and drinks! Our group of four shared many plates of food and nothing was short of delicious. Truffle mac & cheese was the best I had ever had, nothing compares. Beef short rib birria- wow! We also had the duck fat fries, scotch egg, pork rinds, and brie plate. The yakitori which is skewers was melt in your mouth good! We had ribeye, chicken thigh, and shrimp. Since dinner so delicious we had to try dessert! Our table shared the deconstructed lemon marine pie, bread pudding, and smoked chocolate mouse. Bread pudding was the favorite at our table! All dishes had their own unique sauses and pairings. Nothing was missed as far as flavor! Drinks were also amazing! Definitely a mixologist creating these wonderful drinks! Oh Service! Our server was attentive, friendly, and patient while he explained the experience of the Sedgwick. The chef himself was out greeting tables as well. We had a great conversation with him which topped off our experience there! A group of four with drinks, was about 260.00- we all left stuffed and planning our next experience there! read more

In the same week last year for my birthday, we went here and El Goucho. While Goucho is nice and all that, our meal here was twice as good and half the cost.

Very happy, we've gone a couple times since and I can't wait to go again. read more

Ugh. I hate to be the first person to give this place a subpar review, but honestly the 3 stars is generous. I was very excited to have a nice night out at this seemingly swanky new bar and restaurant in Vancouver. I'll give it this, they've done a wonderful job decorating, the atmosphere is awesome (though they need a better sound system than the Bluetooth speaker at the bar). I will also say for all the food we ordered at the bar, service was very quick. However, I wish they spent more time on the food... The cocktails we had were decent but nothing to write home about. Spirits (no pun intended) were still high at this point. But then out came the duck fat fries. How can you go wrong with duck fat fries? I guess when you serve it with a questionable sauce that somehow tastes like stovetop stuffing? Then, the rabbit. Oh boy... This rabbit was dry, flavorless, and I had some pieces I couldn't fully chew all the way and had to spit out. I get rabbit is gamier, but this was near inedible. The sauce was good though. To summarize the rest, carbonara was probably the best thing we tried with really delicious pork belly in it, but otherwise not very flavorful. Pork cheek was pretty good as well, but didn't make up for the rest of what we were served. At about $50/per person for one cocktail and splitting some appetizers and an entree, I expect a lot more of a quality meal. Hope this was just a rough night. Will try to come back once they've had a chance to work on the menu. read more

We came her for Vancouver dining month and it was a nice choice for a date night or a social dinner with friends. The restaurant is warm and friendly. We arrived without reservations and waited about 20 minutes but they had an area with couches we could sit and wait on which was great. We picked the dining month menu. Our first dish was the Spaghettis squash which was a great low carb but filling option that was creamy but had a kick with the peppers in it. The second dish was the fava beans with pork belly. What I appreciated about this dish was that it was filling and that the pork belly was done in nice sized chunks and not an afterthought to flavor the dish but a costar. The last dish we had were the duck fat fries. I really wanted to like them but it lacked flavor. The cheese didn't add a ton to it and there was no salt. It would seem that duck fat fries would be a step up but it was flat, the gravy that accompanied it was good but not enough to liven up the fries since we expected something more savory. Service was attentive and while the restaurant was busy, we always had someone checking on us. read more

My wife and I were excited to try this new restaurant & bar in downtown Vancouver after having walked past a few times and having read the great reviews. Unfortunately, our experience didn't live up to expectations. I would come back to try more of the main plates/entrees but after the experience with many of the bites, will have a hard time convincing myself to. The restaurant itself has a great ambience and service was quick, but the drinks were pretty basic and the food just subpar or even inedible in one case. Carbonara 7/10: this was probably the best thing we had while we were here, although nothing that blew us away. The pork belly in the pasta was well cooked, but the pasta just seemed a little bland. Duck fat fries 4/10: this may be a personal opinion but the sauce tasted a little bit funky to me. It had some decent flavor in the bottom but otherwise did not sit well with my stomach. Rabbit 2/10: the rabbit was incredibly dry, and pretty much inedible. One of the pieces of "meat" that came on the plate didn't have any meat and resembled a dog's pig ear chew. We had to chew and chew and eventually spit pieces out because we weren't able to eat it. This did come with a delicious sauce though! Pork cheek 7/10: the pork cheek was actually fairly well done with tender meat and a nice crispy coating; however it could have done with some more flavor and or sauce. This dish with more chutney or the sauce that comes with the rabbit would be perfect! Some kind of spice would be great! read more

The food (small plates) was very good, although a bit pricey, and the ambiance and service in the bar area was great.

Wow - what an amazing new spot for foodies in Vancouver. You can definitely tell that this is a chef owned spot because the food is INCREDIBLE. We of course had to try quite a few things to really make up our minds so here is my breakdown: Yakitori - 5/5 - the star We had the pork belly and the beef one and OMG these are the stars. Cooked to perfection, full of flavor, absolutely drool worthy Rabbit - 5/5 - close second This was absolutely delicious. Great flavor and texture, meat was so flavorful and rich. The sauce added a nice extra touch but the food was solid on its own. Pork Cracklin - 4/5 So this was delicious, and perfectly priced. As someone who grew up with the $1 gas station bags it was a bit hard to pay even $6 for it, but I had to try it. That being said, if you didn't grow up with it, please order it - delicious. And I do like that it's elevated by the sauce Bone Marrow & Escargot - 2/5 Now if you know that you like bone marrow or escargot you will probably love this. From what I could judge, it was cooked well and had good seasoning BUT I realized that I just don't like it, which is fine, part of trying new things! I think the side of bread is a good touch and I enjoyed that combination, but just not my thing The cocktails - 3/5 This is the only reason I didn't give it a 5/5. We tried a few different cocktails and they felt like they were * almost * there. They had some cool twists but I think their cocktails need a bit more refinement. Service - 5/5* The servers we had were polite, attentive, and personable. That being said there was a young employee who... had some unprofessional conversations with the table next to us... that I'm very glad didn't happen until the end of our service or it would have rushed us out of there. I chalk it up to immaturity - but our actual servers were all top notch Looking forward to coming back! read more

Umm, don't know why there are negative reviews. The food is outstanding. Sauces sauced to perfection. The skewers were the best. I've tried the fried rabbit, pork cheeks, duck fat fries, beef skewers, chicken skewers, fried olives, grilled watermelon, grilled onion, and grilled peppers. Also had a coffee pudding cake. It is a little spendy and served capas style, but totally worth it. The ambience and atmosphere is nice. Love the music. Open kitchen concept. Great decor, even in the restrooms. The flavors burst in your mouth and are exceptional. I particularly love sauces and these sauces are to die for. Service is great, each time my waitress has been well equipped to answer questions about the menu. Will be back! Great for date night, girls night, or to come alone with a book. read more

OMG!! What a start to our new life chapter in Vancouver. We just moved here and The Sedgwick is our first Friday night experience! Wow, amazing food! We had baked brie, pork belly skewers, scallop skewers, HUGE super juicy burger made from ground ribeye and filet! So great. Have it! The fries done in duck fat are crazy! I would add a touch of truffle salt or oil (love it). We also had the pork cheeks, which were SICK. For dessert, we had the bread pudding with whiskey sauce. Our waitress was super helpful, happy and energized! Ask for Katie (Norwegian) and Hailey in the kitchen! David A Carter Park Vancouver, WA read more

So I would like to give this place a 3.5/5 stars, sadly due to one important factor that didn't quite meet our expectations. Although the menu contained luxurious and gourmet items, unfortunately, the flavors of those beautiful ingredients were hidden under the glazes and sauces that coated them. Although the duck fries were nearly perfect, the gravy that accompanied them slightly took on a curry flavor. It somehow was overpowering. The drinks were interesting and beautiful. I enjoyed my blind date with vodka but my husband wished his smore whiskey drink was more sweet or at least taste like smores. Still very good food and drinks, however just flavors weren't quite what we were expecting. Service and atmosphere was absolutely beautiful and perfect. read more

Interesting menu selections. I don't think I was a fan of the way the dishes come out randomly, but everything was really tasty.

The Sedgwick is so new, but it's already on a quick slide into weird, inconsistent and unprofessional! The food is odd and overpriced and not chef quality. When a restaurant struggles like this, you just know ownership is cutting corners on food quality and upping the prices in the name of "pandemic or inflation." And the owner seems to be on some kind of high horse or bad trip? It's a wacky, almost manic, and most certainly narcissistic vibe. Ewww...who wants to actually pay for that? Pass! Vancouver is killing it with their new food scene and the Sedgewick misses the mark! By a long shot. Plus, there isn't really service...just a number system and some random small plates sent out at random. But you will be paying high-end prices and tip-outs. The owner needs to drive his Maserati don't you know lol! read more

3 stars for rectifying the situation. Here's what happened: I got a to go order including the truffle Mac, duck fat fries, crispy pork, and French burger. The truffle Mac was very good, the fries were also good, but I am personally not a fan of the gravy, the pork was definitely over cooked but not the worst, and the burger had potential to be good but my bun was burnt to a crisp. I find it hard to believe that they would have sent a burger looking like that out to their dining area, but since it was a to go order they let it slide. read more

I have lived in the Vancouver area for years now and am embarrassed to say that I just recently found the Sedgwick. Very glad I did. I have tried several menu items now and everything has been outstanding. The highlight is the yakitori which I have never seen offered elsewhere in the area. Staff is attentive and knowledgeable, drink selection is inspired and all day happy hour on Mondays makes me actually like Mondays again. Have never sat on the restaurant side but both sides seem inviting and comfortable. Definitely one of my new favorite places in Vancouver! read more
