The good: The tomahawk split four ways was delicious and cooked to perfection. The venue is beautiful. The bad: Nobody asked us for a drink for the first 30 minutes of being seated. 2 out of the 8 of us did not get their entrees until 20 minutes after the rest of us. Those steaks came out "well done". They were expensive rib eyes. I guess that extra 20 minutes would do that. Needless to say they were sent back and ultimately taken off the bill. Also apparently this is not the type of place you can accidentally leave behind your belongings and expect to get them back. Sunglasses were left on the table. We realized this 20 minutes after the fact and tried calling. Straight to voicemail. Of course never turned into lost and found. After asking security to check the footage to see if maybe an employee picked them up and absentmindedly placed them somewhere I was told the video footage was inconclusive. I suppose a security team that overseas that gigantic casino doesn't have the technology to view a table in the bar. Good thing the glasses only cost a few hundred dollars. We won't be back. Save your money and dine at one of the other wonderful restaurants in the area. read more

I had brunch here for my friends birthday last week and was absolutely appalled by the service we recieved. Our server Pathana was horrific to deal with. A few things that we experienced: - she was not friendly to begin with when she saw that we had two extra friends that joined us last minute and she had to add seats for us - she DROPPED some of my chips on the floor for the beef tartar I ordered and didn't apologize or offer to replace it - worst of all when we asked for our bills to be split she advised us it would take 20 mins to split the bill! I'm sorry... I don't expect you to be a mathetician but I know your POS systems can do it and I hope you were trained to use it - so we advised her don't worry, we can do it ourselves and to bring the credit card machine. She told us she can take a maximum of 4 credit cards (we had a group of 12) thankfully after she came she reluctantly took all our payments (6 in total) We had a big group and gratuity was automatic 18 % so I truly believe we got sub par service because of this reason. I would rate the restaurant itself a 2.5/5 for the taste of the food but the service we recieved was really what caused the one star. This is the second time I've come here and will not be returning solely because of Pathana. If this restaurant trained and hired a staff like this and the food is not superb, I don't see why people will return - - It's Vancouver, I can find better food and better service elsewhere. read more

Went there for dinner with a group of people. We got a set dinner menu which came with a choice of appetizer, entrée, and dessert. For appetizer, we chose the lobster and crab bisque... It was the worst bisque I've ever had. It was too salty, the soup taste burnt, it was just too concentrated for me. Alot of us ordered it and I don't think any of us finished it. For entree, I ordered the salmon. It was overcooked and dry. My boyfriend ordered steak, which came out too salty, and I've never seen a more boring plate of steak. It was just a piece of meat, and two small bell peppers. The dessert was the least disappointing dish. I ordered the creme brulee donuts. It came with cotton candy with gold flakes. It was alright. Overpriced and completely disappointed by the quality of food. Not to mention it took a long time for each course to be served. Location and atmosphere was great though. read more

Had their crab cakes. Absolutely awesome. Steak horrific and tasteless, presented was below par for this kind of restaurant. Milestones and keg does a way better job for half price. Service shockingly rude and didn't know how to read people. We were still eating crab cakes and a 1/3 of it was left and almost took out plate, without even asking. I stopped him on time. We told him we will may go down for dessert at another place , but he took that as bring my bill and pay immediately. He brought us the bill wand waited there with his machine, didn't even walk away. How can you be so rude and just stand there for us to pay? It seemed he wanted to make as much tips as possible by getting rid of us for a new table. We never mentioned we were in rush. That was why I rated the two star, food was not good enough for me to return or recommend. read more

What an amazing experience at The Victor. I was staying at the Parq Vancouver and decided to have dinner here. Started with the octopus which was tasty and a little on the spicy side but nice flavours. Then shared the lobster and cowboy ribeye which was cooked to perfection. Start your night with a Parq Mule, you're never going to forget it... read more

The service at The Victor was very, very slow. Our steaks, ordered medium rare, were overcooked. The peppercorn sauce was tasteless except for a stale aftertaste. The skinny shrimp, considered the Surf of Surf and Turf, were low quality. The mac & cheese waffle was underwhelming due to no flavour except cheese. The caesar salad was tiny, and the coconut cake was dry and without sweetness. Sigh. A very expensive and disappointing meal. read more

This is my new favorite steakhouse!!! Loved everything about our experience. The room is incredibly beautiful, elegant, yet playful and sexy. I know it's a steakhouse but I absolutely love the sushi bar and all the raw seafood. My friends ordered the giant Tomahawk steak and couldn't stop raving. Definitely save room for the desserts like the crème brûlée donuts with the maple cotton candy, sticky toffee pudding and enormous piece of coconut cake! The yummy bread was also amazing. read more

Excellent service and food. The Caesar salad had a bit too much dressing in my opinion and they don't have hot chocolate, which is a shame because their cotton candy topped creme brulee donuts are just begging for a good hot cocoa and Bailey's. The steak was good (a little grizzle along the edges, but easily cut off). The potatoes that came with the steak were really yummy. read more

Great ambiance and I think the restaurant has made an attempt to improve service - lots of check ins, drinks topped up, etc. There was a wide variability in food quality. Strangely, the weakest items were the steaks. WAY over salted. Disappointing given that this is one of their major menu items. The pretzel onion rings sounded good in theory but had way too much batter/pretzel to onion ratio and just became difficult to eat. Strengths are their sushi items (really fresh, nice texture and taste), complimentary bread service (no low carb diets when you're here - delicious), double cooked fries and burger. I also liked the chips with blue cheese and bacon. I'd skip the Victor and go to Gotham or Hy's if you want a steak, but if you're with a larger group and need to cover a variety of tastes, this is a good option. read more

Bottom Line Up Front - Food was hit or miss but the service is what warranted the 3 star review. Pros: Steak, sides and appetizers Cons: Service and Seafood This is a hard place to get in to. We were a party of 12 that made a reservation for a late dinner at 9:30pm. We got there right on time and were seated promptly. That was the end of the promptness. I'm not the type of Yelp reviewer that takes stars off because the server was poor because everyone has a bad day. However, this was a systematic problem of the server getting overwhelmed and management not helping. From being seated to finally sorting the bill was 3 hours! I've had 3 hour meals before, but this was dragged out by at least an hour. It took over 30 minutes alone from asking for the check to actually getting it. Then, we had to hire an accountant because they won't split the bill. It was so long that no one ordered dessert because we were ready to leave. Drinks were also quite slow coming to the point numerous members of the group lost interest and stopped ordering them as we wouldn't get them anyway. First, I'll talk about what went right with the food. The Prawn Starter was excellent. They were 3 fresh big prawns and tasted like they just came off the boat. The crab cake was awesome and well worth the $19.00. My sister-in-law stated it was "the best I ever had." The Filet Mignon was also incredible and one of the shining stars of the night. There was one dessert - the complimentary one for our birthday boy, which was outstanding. It was a vanilla ice cream creme brulee with a Flake Bar topping. I ordered the Salmon, which was a mistake. It was grossly over cooked. Believe or not, the Kale is what saved the dish, by being cooked perfectly. Additionally, the French fries with the 2 dipping sauces were fantastic. My wife got the lamb and she was mostly satisfied with it. The other people who ordered steak were also quite satisfied with their meals. My friend got the Flat Iron and that was also good. However, it was a little tougher than other steaks. It was also worth mentioning that the ahi sushi starter was very good although my wife noted a little too fishy taste. Also, the macaroni and cheese waffle side was quite dry. I would rate the Sushi 4/5, Flat Iron as a 4/5, the Filet 5/5, Lamb 4/5 and the Salmon 3/5. For a place that bills itself as a "Steak and Seafood" restaurant, the salmon should have been a lot better along with the sushi. There are too many high quality steak and seafood houses in Vancouver. I would recommend going to one of them instead. read more

We were looking for a place at the Parq for cocktails and eats and so we decided to give this place a try. The restaurant was already booked up, but we were invited to take a seat at the Bar. The service we got was outstanding. Within 5 minutes of being sat, my girlfriend and I both had food menus and a house cocktail each, made with local ingredients - superb! We were recommended to kick things off with Shigoku oysters and the Togarashi-spiced Blue Fin Tuna which you sear yourself on a heated salt block - all simply delicious! While we sat, we were occasionally offered samples of locally-sourced spirits including Gin from the Island which were excellent. We were made to feel so welcome we stayed far longer than we expected and enjoyed every minute. We will return to try out the restaurant as well as the Sushi Bar. read more

Came with two friends for DOV 2020. Impressive atmosphere. One friend ordered the mango chili sushi & myself and our other friend had the crab & lobster bisque. Totally agree w/the other reviewers re: saltiness and portion of the soup. Disappointed as I've had better in a small high quality restaurant in Richmond . I had also ordered a dynamite sushi roll to share off their reg menu separately. Now those bite-sized pieces were yummy. I loved the Japanese Milk bread? Thank you for letting me know what it was. First time having it. Mmmm. Our server was Surendra. He did his best even though it was super busy on that Friday night we went. The other ppl that took care of our table did an excellent job too. Kudos to the staff. That's what the high rating is for. All three of us ordered the ribeye as mains. But when the food came, I know they are all 8 ozs supposedly but perception made my ribeye only look like half of the size of my friends' steaks. Mine looked like a sirloin more than a ribeye steak. The steak was done "right" so no complaint. Now dessert. Huge slice of coconut cake. By that time I could not even fathom to eat another bite. Packed it to go. Enjoyed it on Sunday. Pretty decent as it was not too sweet at all and such a large portion. Overall we might come back for next year's DOV. read more

We had our Wedding Anniversary at The Victor & it was ruined cause the waiter sucked! He was missing most of the time & he really didn't care! He screamed at a Bust Boy right behind us... this waiter is a Bully! The Food was good! read more

My friends and I went for Dine Out yesterday. Our waiter was very kind and attentive. Our water got filled up very often and everyone had great customer service. The complimentary bread was amazing! Very warm and fresh. My steak was okay. I expected something more from them. I'd say the steak at Elisa is better. The mac and cheese waffle was pretty good I'd say 7/10. Their coconut/vanilla desert was great! It was a bit odd that my steak came with peppers and I wasn't allowed to sub them for other veggies. The only food I hate is peppers so if I'm paying $50, I'd like the option of not having them on my plate. Overall, the experience was good and the atmosphere was pleasant. It was a bit of a maze to get there but that's what made it feel exclusive :) read more

We had an amazing experience from the moment we were professionally greeted by the hostess and seated comfortably, through every step of the service which included a stellar wine selection that was both memorable and perfectly matched to our menu selections. Every course from the Foie Gras to the Beef Tenderloin was elegantly presented, well timed, delicious and above expectation. Our only regret was that we were so indulged, that we did not have the mind set for dessert, which looked beautiful on the menu yet we could not have been happier. read more

ordered the 2 person prime rib, like other reviews browned on one side pink on the other, SUPER SALTY; really thought the chef had covid or else he wouldve tasted himself how salty it was. same goes for the rib cut first order around too salty. they redid both course and they gave us a super medium cooked piece of meat when we ordered rare. Service was great, however expected a little more from the manager who seemed like he deals with this on a daily basis read more

Pricey for the dishes but still high quality seafood options. Foie gras was excellent. read more

We had a business dinner and several types of meals were provided. The porter house steak was cooked to perfection and mouth watering. Some had salmon and said it was delicious. The sides of Brussels sprouts and mushrooms were a perfect complement to the meal. The appetizers of octopus with tomatoes were cooked well and utterly delicious. The ambiance is fresh and modern with a lot of buzz. It's the place to be... A bit pricey but well worth it! read more

Food is mediocre, server was friendly, atmosphere is not good, considering this is a new building inside looks old and lack of character. Overall Gotham, Hy's or Blue water Cafe (for seafood) all offer so much better service, food, and more vibrant than here. First sat on the patio table just have the sun beaming on me. Asked to changed table then they squeezed us into a really small table with another table super close to us while lots tables r empty. And every time a server, waitress walk by either they will kick my chair or their cloth will touch my arm....so annoying. Whoever put a table there def don't understand how to arrange seating; whoever recommended that seating while we alrdy had a bad experience at the patio don't understand customer service. Worst dinning experience ever. I will never go back or recommend this place to anyone. read more

The advertising purportedly is a high end restaurant. A group of four found very different results in our dinners. The ladies had sablefish and found it excellent - moist and done perfectly. My friend had salmon that was overcooked and dry. I had filet mignon ordered medium rare which arrived without even any pink. Surely the chef would not allow such food to exit the kitchen. Perhaps the two dishes just sat too long under the warming lamps as in a cafe! Of course we did not send the food back as that would have left the ladies eating while we waited. We are to courteous to do that to them. That will be the LAST time for this restaurant. read more

We did the dine out menu for 2019. And I'd have to say the service and atmosphere was amazing. We opted for a seat on their "patio" which is covered and heated. The view of the stadium at night was gorgeous. Our service was amazing. We also tried their albacore tuna Aburi and that was okay. For the dine out menu the lobster& crab bisque was creamy and delicious, the mango chilli roll was subpar. The ribeye steak was cooked perfectly but it came out smaller than we had thought. The king salmon was a bit salty in my opinion. For dessert the chocolate mousse was good if you're really into chocolate. The menke cake was absolutely DELICIOUS! So light and fluffy! I thought it was worth $45/pp read more

I've been to Victor a few times and have had good food. I thought that the vegetarian main was interesting on the menu but a little underwhelming when it arrived. It didn't blow me away. The sushi on the other hand is fabulous! The spicy tuna roll is the perfect balance of spice and flavors. The yam roll and the avocado roll are also delicious and innovative. They aren't your run of the mill rolls. read more

My mom and I came here for dine out. We had high expectations but we were so disappointed. The food was not good at all. The mango avocado roll fell apart easily (it wasn't wrapped tightly enough) and the sushi rice was dry and hard. The ribeye steak was really dry/tough and hard to cut even with the steak knife. My mom got medium rare and I got rare. Our jaws hurt from all that chewing and my mom gave up after eating only half of it. The pensfold red wine was delicious and the ambiance/decor were beautiful. But that's all. Service was very slow. Expect to spend a minimum of 2 hours here for dine out. Note: the 2 hours does not even include dessert. We took the dessert to go because we waited too long for such a disappointing meal...even the takeout box took awhile to come. I don't recommend this place for dine out. read more

Overall = Average west coast dishes, good steak (i.e. Better than Keg but not as good as Hys & Gotham), below average service.We had six people in the party and it was for one of my friend's birthday. They asked if dinner was for a specially occasion when they called to confirm the reservation and I told them that it was for a birthday. Food: Two main dishes were sent back to the kitchen to re-make, ahi-tuna and steak. Ahi tuna was fully cooked when it first came, the texture was like canned tuna. Steak was ordered as medium rare but it was overcooked to be medium. Seems like the quality control of food was quite loose...In the end, the dishes were remade and they tasted OK... Service: Bad. We were charged 18% gratuity as we have six people but I REALLY THINK THEY DID NOT DESERVE THIS GRATUITY WHEN THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING. Reasons for my complaints: 1) Our water glasses were all empty during our meals and our server was totally inattentive. We had to request to get them filled. When she finally poured water into our glasses, she spilled water on the floor and onto my friend's clothes. 2) Nothing done to compensate us for their incompetencies in preparing the food. If two out of three main dishes were sent back to the kitchen, I expected them to at least give us a discount on our bill given that we had to wait again to get our properly prepared food. Especially since their prices were not cheap at all. 3) Didn't order dessert in the end but nothing was done from the restaurant for my friend's birthday. read more

Amazing food and service! The rib cap was tender with great flavor. The chocolate mousse and the whiskey cake are a must try!!! Great atmosphere as well! read more

Originally made reservations for Dine Out, but after looking at the regular menu my wife and I decided to go a la carte. To make this quick: Atmosphere - Very nice, spacious restaurant. You are not jammed next to other tables. The design was modern with a touch of elegance. Lots of customers to provide a lively feel. Service - Hostess was very pleasant. Our server Jeffrey was great. And the rest of the staff we encountered was nice as well. Food - Good food but not mind blowing. We started with the Salmon and Hamachi Nachos which was flavourful and light. I had the medium-rare wagyu beef burger and opted for their onion rings instead of fries (very tasty but very heavy). My wife got the ribeye (which was nice but we've had better). We also added the brussel sprouts which was nice (but we have had better). Lastly, we got the waffle Mac n cheese which is tasty but not worth the hype. It is more of a novelty dish that you could skip. For dessert we were recommended the Sticky Fingers Hot Whiskey Cake which was good but would have been better with a vanilla bean ice cream scoop instead of the whipped cream. Price - You are paying more for the atmosphere, view, and service. Would I go back? - Yes, I would go back. I would like to sit at the sushi bar and try some of their sushi. read more

We went for dineout at 8pm, and despite the place not being super packed we still got trash service and our food was overly salty. We feel that they were very stingy with the lobster and crab bisque appetizer as well. At the end of the meal our original choice of dessert ran out and we were not consulted before being served a substitute product we didn't even ask for. No warning, nothing. Our experience left much to be desired for considering the higher end locale and ambience. Would not recommend. read more

Great place and atmosphere. Especially if you want to spend some cash. The service was ok. Can tell who cares alot about the service. Some servers explained alot while others just asked what you want. The food was good. Only got a few so cant really compare. I had the rib cap medium rare Chicago style. While my gf had the ahi tuna. Both good meals but not as amazing as I thought it would be. The mushroom dish on the other hand was very delicious and the bread and butter. The salmon tartare was ok. Over all. I'd give it a 3.5 for my first visit. read more

We loved the atmosphere and how you have both indoor and outdoor seating options. You can definitely go here for either a date night or with a larger group of friends and family as they are very accomodating. We started with their waffle cut fries with blue cheese fondue and it the cheese was to die for. We also had the onion ring stack and it is honestly the crispiest and most amazing onion ring I've ever had! I honestly don't think there is another place that can top their batter mixture. Next we had the King Salmon and Teres Major. The Salmon was perfectly juicy and the mushrooms that came with is very perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. I didn't try the steak but my husband really liked it. Then we ended our experience with the Victor Victoria dessert which is essentially cheesecake feeling with raspberry gelee and this meringue on the side which was truly magical. Price-wise, this is definitely an upsclae resturant so don't expect low prices. But when you compare their portion sizes, I'd say they are less expensive than most places they are competing with. Now if I were to change one thing about our experience it would be the drinks. They were mediocre and not the best given that they didn't taste like much. The verdict? I'm a total fan and will come back to try the rest of the menu! read more

Was really disappointed. Came with as a group of 6 and received hardly any service, average at least 25 minutes between each interaction (initially ordering, getting drinks, getting bills, being checked on) even though the place wasn't very busy. 30% of our Wagyu was pure fat, not how it should be but actually just pure fat. The Brussels seemed to be mostly sauce and were soggy because of it. Meals were served at different times without the server mentioning it would be, which made it disappointing since some of us ate at different times. Overall for the price of our meal and the expectations we had we were not very pleased and wouldn't recommend this place, especially if you're going as a group. read more

The ambience and restaurant itself are very nice. I'd recommend going there on a slow night. It was pretty crowded this night, we made reservations weeks in advance and they supposedly could not find it. Needless to say we ended up sitting in a very uncomfortable small table in between several other couples. I took a moment to observe the sever tending to other tables. I realized we were being totally ignored. Felt as he was judging, we ordered several appetizers as well as the filet mignon. Foie gras and surf and turf were good. All in all the sever ruined the experience on top of them losing or giving our reservation away. Not the best experience. We won't be going back again. read more

Dine out 2018 Ambiance and decor is great. Service was impeccable. Bisque was delicious. We added crab cake appy on top of the dine out menu. It was excellent. Our steaks were perfectly cooked. The desserts were also excellent. Two things we didn't love: the chairs at our table weren't at all comfy and it was so dark in our area that it was hard to see the menu. To the point that several people were using the flash light on their phones to read them. Otherwise. Excellent. read more

The restaurant itself is a memorable venue; styled very distinctly compared to most of the city's offerings. The food presentation matched in its impressive looks but disappointed in taste. Everything was very average and we felt like we were eating for utility rather than enjoyment after the initial excitement wore off. Dessert was a different story however, get the rainbow cake and the donuts if you can; they were actually remarkable. read more

I'd say 3.5 stars. Came in with reservations for Dine Out '19 at 5pm. The restaurant was not busy yet, but they still made us wait 10-15 minutes. Service was pretty good, standard for high end establishment like this place. Food was good, their complimentary bread was delish. Couldn't finish the dessert. The chocolate mousse was too sweet. The menkes cake was a good portion and not overly sweet. Would I come back? Yes if it's free or subsidized. I don't think it was worth the price. Would rather go to The Botanist in Fairmont Pacific Rim. read more

Quite the surprisingly disappointing experience here tonight. Here for my husband's work Xmas party and the restaurant was informed ahead of time that I am pregnant. We asked if substitutes in the set menu could be made and was assured this would not be an issue. Unfortunately when it came time to order, every request to the server was a "let me ask my manager". Appetizers came out quickly but that was about it for the night. After clearing our plates it took nearly 1.5 hours for our mains to come. They then proceeded to try to serve me the wrong entree, a steak, twice. As much as I would have loved to enjoy the steak, pregnancy does not allow me to eat raw or undercooked meat, something we discussed several times with the server and manager now by this time. By the time they got my actual order out everyone else had finished their meals and I was left awkwardly eating mine alone. Manager came over to give me a half sincere apology that really did nothing but anger me more. Server then apologized and mentioned they would do something special for me at the end and you guessed it, nothing. Walked out of here tonight and will never step foot in again. Do better The Victor. read more

The food was great and they let me kiss my girlfriend on the lips even though we hadn't finished our meal. The service was great.

Absolutely appalled by the service I received at this reStaurant. I ordered a steak medium well and it was so raw that it made me queasy. When I questioned the server, he said I ordered medium rare, which he agreed it wasn't even. I obviously didn't eat my steak. When the invoice came the server said "the manager discounted your bill" he removed the side of mushrooms, but nothing for the raw steak that I didn't eat. Absolutely terrible, I would never return to this establishment even if it were free. read more
