Decided to explore the Parq casino one night and slid onto a comfy couch at the Victor lounge side. What a great vibe. Had delicious oysters and sashimi. Also very decent wine selection to go with a very STK like menu if you've been to the ones in Vegas or LA. It's like a younger modern version of blue water cafe. So good. Good looking crowd too ;) read more

Fantastic American style restaurant. Excellent food and GREAT SERVICE!! Surprisingly reasonable price too. My new favorite spot.

Elegant atmosphere. Server was very friendly and attentive. Enjoyed the food. Dessert was awesome (Menke's cake) and shareable!

Came to try out a new steak house x seafood x Japanese cuisine restaurant in town to celebrate my birthday. Was exceptional! Ambiance was romantic, playful and classy. Food was fresh, juicy and well presented. Service was amazing and everyone is so friendly! Definitely coming back read more

My husband and I came here last night for our anniversary dinner. Our reservation # was 9101 but I can't remember our waiters name but he should be commended for his outstanding service. Our meal was fabulous, the atmosphere was beautiful and we will definitely be back with friends. Thanks for making our evening. read more

I never post reviews, but felt like I needed to get this out there. Came here last night (April 16th) at around 6:30 for an anniversary dinner with my girlfriend. Food is great but I feel that service is either hit or miss. I was unfortunate enough to have one of the worst service I have experienced in my lifetime (I think the server's name was Ken). After being seated, it not only took this guy 15 minutes to bring us our water, but he left right after without asking if we were ready to order (we had already decided what we wanted as we were waiting). It took him another 25 minutes to come back to take our order (within these 40 minutes of waiting, we saw him just standing around looking really clueless). After placing our order, he told us bread was on the way but it never came (we had already gotten our starters mains by then) and my girlfriend had to ask for them. During our 1.5 hours of dining, he never bothered to check up on us, let alone bring us more water. The only times he did "check up and ask how the food was", it was because we had to wave him over to ask for more water. After finishing our food and having our table cleared, he never bothered to bring the dessert menu until we had to WAVE HIM OVER AGAIN and ask for it. It took him another 15 minutes to bring a small menu. After deciding on what dessert we wanted, he was again standing around. We tried waving at him again and HE COMPLETELY IGNORED US. 20 minutes go by, he finally comes to take our order. At this point we were extremely frustrated, so we opted to go somewhere else for dessert and asked for the bill. Another 20 minutes go by before he brings the bill. Again, we waited another 15 for him to bring us the machine. What made this more disappointing was the fact that he just left it on the table and left to go somewhere else. Normally, servers would stay to collect the machine and print out our receipt. After paying, he was again nowhere to be seen. My girlfriend and I decided to just leave the machine on the table and leave without taking our receipt because we were sick of waiting. I'd also like to point out, the tone of his voice whenever he spoke to us, and the way he looked at us was so degrading, impolite and unprofessional that we felt EXTREMELY DISRESPECTED and UNWELCOMED. For a high end restaurant, I expected better service and training from the staff. We spent most of our time waiting (despite the restaurant being half empty). Honestly, I've had better service at restaurants that were packed (even fast food for crying out loud). Wish I could give 0 stars for the garbage service, but 2 is being extremely generous because the food was good. Parq, place get better staff or give better training. For an anniversary dinner, I was extremely disappointed. read more

Love it! Fancy, nice food, excellent service! We were a group of 8 and everyone enjoyed their appetizers, mains, desserts and drinks!

Worst customer service. So the story continues...bad hotel experiences stretch to its dining option at JW Marriott. Patiently waiting at the bar while everyone else that checked in after us all got tables. Waited more than 45 minutes...and no apology yet an attitude for expressing our frustration? (The bald guy at the front who's responsible for this review almost cost tips for innocent waiters.) Well...come to The Victor to get victimized by The Victor Staff! We were so disgusted that we had to leave after finally getting a table. read more

Visited this past weekend and sadly not as we had anticipated. Arrived at 6pm for a table of 5 and was advised they were no longer taking reservations but the lounge was open on a first come first serve basis. We advised that we were still waiting for the arrival of 2 more friends to join us at 7pm, which they said would not be a problem to have a few drinks in the lounge while we waited. The hostess asked if we were planning to have dinner and recommended to sit a communal table which would be more comfortable to have dinner, as opposed to the lower tables in the lounge. They also advised that the 10-person table is not part of the dining room and there would problem to accommodate us. We took the recommendation to sit at the table and offered that we would be more than happy to share the table with other patrons. As the table was first come first serve, the hostess advised she is not able to walk us to the table but would follow us as we sat ourselves. Our name was taken and mentioned the servers would be advised we would have drinks while we waited for the remainder of our party to arrive. Our server, Maria, welcomed us and provided drink suggestions and informed us of the Dine Out Vancouver menu option they were offering for dinner. She asked us what we were thinking of eating, to which we mentioned most likely steak, and offered drink options that would pair well. Maria recommended dark beers, full-bodied red wines, and bourbon-based drinks. We opted to start with dark beer while we looked at the wine list to have with our dinner. We received our drinks shortly after. Maria came by to offer us bread while we waited; throughout this time she asked multiple times if we had decided on what we would like to order and had to continually remind her that we were still waiting for our party to arrive. At 6:45pm we were notified by the remainder of our party that they had arrived onsite and were waiting for the elevator, to which we proceeded to order a bottle of wine. Upon being served our wine Maria advised that there was now a reservation for a party of 10 that required the whole table and that we would need to vacate the table by 8pm. She requested for us to call our friends to see if they knew what they wanted to eat so she could go ahead and put the order through before they arrived. We explained that we were not advised that there was a reservation for 8pm, in fact we were told that the table is not reservable as it is part of the lounge. The GM, Grant Nelson, came by to further explain that we should have been told upon seating that there was a reservation at 8pm, which they failed to previously advise, and said that it was a communication error on their behalf. At this time the rest of our party arrived at the table at 7pm, while we were speaking with Grant. Grant had then told us that we would only be able to stay for only the first course and would be required to vacate by 8pm. We mentioned that we would like to do the DOV menu that had been previously offered to us by Maria. We felt that Grant then stated that he would have to honor the 8pm reservation and there was nothing he could to do accommodate us. We expressed our discontent that we would have to rush and vacate the table just as the remainder of the party arrived. The conversion with Grant turned into what we felt was confrontational and embarrassing just as our friends had arrived. After a few minutes on telling us we would need to move to one of the lower tables or only eat one course, Grant had left and returned to advise that he had contacted the 8pm reservation who agreed to push to 9pm. Maria immediately began to take our food orders before our friends had the opportunity to look over the drink menu and settle in; which made for a poor arrival experience for our friends as we felt rushed and pressured to decide on the spot. Much to our discontent, we obliged and made our decisions based on the menu options from the DOV menu. We ordered a 2nd bottle of wine and appreciated that Grant attempted to recover from the situation by bringing over a small gin, cucumber, and lime shot as an apology for the inconvenience. It was certainly a nice gesture, however, nobody in our party enjoys gin and did not pair well with any of the dishes we selected. Ideally, we feel that it would have been better off if we were asked on a preference or provided a few options to choose from. Upon settling our payments, one transaction did not go through successfully and Maria commented loudly in front of the entire table that it was because we didn't have enough credit limit; which was an embarrassing assumption to make, especially after witnessing her explaining to guests beside us it was due to wireless connection when they had troubles processing payments as well. The charge was successful the next time around. Overall, it was a truly disappointing experience. However, the food was decent, the portion sizes were average, and price point was expected. read more

The service was great, decor fab. But the kitchen brought out a strip steak instead of the rib eye that my husband ordered. He asked the server to go back and check with the kitchen to see why this happened and he brought back the same steak again just reheated... my husband just ate it as he didn't want to cause a scene. It was dry, no marbling, and tasted like it had been frozen. It wasn't even really seasoned. The seafood was good... not on par with some other places in Vancouver for seafood but decent. We had the crab cakes, tuna nachos and they were good. Prawn cocktail was over cooked and rubbery. We also ordered a bottle of pellegrino for water to start and they kept pouring throughout dinner. We didn't notice at the time but when we got the bill they had charged us for 4 bottles of sparkling water for our table totalling $35 without asking us if we wanted more. NOT cool! Shouldn't you ask before? Won't be going back. Gotham is 10000 times better don't waste your money here. read more

$500 bill on food and wine. As I was finishing my meal I found a massive hair in my food. Brought it to the attention of the manager who apologized, but didn't give us a discount on any part of our bill. Was told I would be "taken care of" the next time I came in. Why would I want to come back? I paid $500 for dinner so I could get someones hair stuck between my teeth and feel like I was about to vomit. Disgusting. read more

The food and service were on point! All the servers that helped us were super friendly. Very attentive! Tried many dishes and all were very good. My fav one was Hokkaido Scallops. Cooked perfectly. Pricey but definitely a good place for good food! read more

My husband and I had an amazingly great brunch at The Victor. The ambience is calm and inviting, and they had a live singer who was actually very talented. Our server, Richard, was really great and friendly. He told us some of the interesting history of the area and service was great. The foam on my latte was perfect, and The Victor Benedict that I ordered had a base that was a macaroni and cheese waffle (sounds weird, but its AMAZING). My husband had the Wagyu Breakfast Burger and LOVED it. They dont skimp on the burger patty and any burger that comes with a fried egg on it wins. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Terrible service, pretentiousness abounds. I sat in a half empty restaurant the staff had no intentions of helping with even a water to start. Manager walked by twice and also was disinterested in service. Staff is poorly trained and management clearly has never been to a high end casino restaurant. Don't wast your time you will be disappointed. When I asked for service there was no "can we make it right". Unfortunately they will do well because people will continue to be pushed to them. read more

This place is expensive because it is amazing and here's why: you can't beat the ambiance. Right when you get up to the top floor, the view and entrance to the restaurant is amazing. We were fortunate enough to sit next to an open patio with B.C. place as our view. There's a reason why this place is always packed. Their steaks are amazing. The fam and I tend to order bigger steaks and have it cut to share (we all like it rare which makes it easier). The service is great. Again, it's expensive but not outrageous. Great for special occasion. We ordered the tomahawk, rib cap steak and the cowboy ribeye for 5 people. It was perfect. read more

We came here on a Monday night for the sushi. Everything we had was great, and different enough to be interesting in a good way. And the dessert was absolutely amazing-- we had the Black Mountain cake and not only was it great, the presentation was very impressive. We would definitely come here again. read more

I am writing this review as we wait for our wonderful waitress Pathana to come back to take our payment. Today is my birthday and our party of 12 is very not impressed with the service that we've received here today. Brunch was mediocre but maybe because they specialize in seafood and meat that may the reason why as we all ordered typical brunch items. The Mac and cheese waffles were very dry. I would rather prefer to come back for dinner as the dinner menu is much better last time I came here. Pathana not only dropped some chips from our beef tartare but she did not offer to replace some back in return. She made us feel that because we are a large group that she didn't need to provide great service because gratuity is automatically added on top of the bill. When it came around to the bill we asked to have it split by couple. She said that it would take up to 20 minutes or more. Half of us worked in a restaurant and the service industry and were quite shocked when we heard this. We've all split bills before and it takes seconds. You would imagine an upscale restaurant like this would have the technology to do such things. She simply made us feel that she did not even want to do it. Could've given us an excuse that their system has been slow or what not. We all wished there was no auto gratuity because we would've tipped a lot less or none at all. Wonderful service keep it up. We're all giving this review a one star because of the candy bar by the entrance. read more

We dined with The Victor for Dine Out this past week and it was .... ok. The food was what you would expect of a hotel restaurant, but nothing special. Our server was amazing and he was very attentive to our needs. But I find all of the other servers and hostess' rather, odd. Everyone seems to be in a real big hurry to get us in and out the door as quick as possible. I mean its great that the food didn't take long, but the bussers really were standing by our table to wait for us to take the last bite and cleared our plate RIGHT AWAY. We were there celebrating a birthday, they asked for their name, but nothing happened? We didn't expect anything, but found it rather odd that they asked a couple of time for the birthday girl's name, but nothing. Some tables did get sparklers in their desserts, but we didn't get it. Overall, it was OK. I really wouldn't go back or recommend anyone else to go ... unless you want expensive hotel food QUICKLY. read more

I couldn't edit my original review so maybe this update will work. I had no interest in going back, but the person whose dinner it was wanted to go so I ended up there again. The meal was ridiculously overpriced, portions small (left hungry) and quite frankly I have had a better similar meal out of a package at home. Some of us got there early, but they wouldn't let us be seated until the rest showed up! They suggested sitting at the bar, but we are not drinkers. No, I will not be going back. read more

The food was good, but the customer service was weird. We had made a group reservation for 8 people which was confirmed. The hostess called us back and said since we are a large group.. we had to pay cash. I was confused so I called back. They then said since we are a large group, they only wanted 1 person to use credit card and the rest of us had to pay cash. wtf? it's 2018, why can't they split the bill properly? or why can't all of us pay for our bill by credit card? read more

I've been here 4 times and tonight I ordered the Japanese wagyu and omg it was a huge disappointment! It was soft but it was like eating fat! I have eaten wagyu in Japan last year and it was amazing so I thought I would try it here and IT WAS NOT THE SAME!! After the last 3 bites, it made me want to vomit cuz it was literally like eating fat! AVOID WAGYU if you want to save your money lol! read more

We had a Christmas brunch and it was 11/10! Our server, Garett, and Grant all took such good care of us. I highly recommend getting the pancakes as a share for the table as well as a savoury dish, that way you can have it all. Thanks again for having us!! read more

This restaurant is world class and amazing. It is located in a gorgeous setting at the Marriott Parc Vancouver. We were hesitant to eat at a "hotel restaurant" but we were tired after checking in and decided to give it a try. Glad we did. Our part of 4 all had different meals and each of us raved about it. Steaks, salad and seafood were excellent. Comfortable and quiet setting with a great staff. Highly recommended. read more

Incredible service and lovely atmosphere. Decor is lovely and seating is very comfortable. Washrooms are clean and huge. Ordered steak, wine and vegetables and they were lovely. Being able to make reservations online was a huge plus. The downside was having to pay for parking. If you are gambling at parq you can register for free parking, so why charge for restaurant guests? read more

Vancouver has many excellent restaurants that provide fabulous food and outstanding experiences but this is NOT one of them. The first flaw is the outdoor design to the entrance of the restaurant. With pouring rain and high winds it makes for a harrowing track that will leave you dishevelled. Fast forward to our meal. Since when at a steak house does service staff not feel the need to provide you with steak knives? When boasting about the grill you'd assume they know not to serve medium plus steaks at a table that ordered medium rare ? Also how are only two plates served for dinner at a table of three? Have you ever had to remind the three servers who were supporting the table that steaks require steak knives? Now assuming you are served your dinner and you can choke down the over cooked steak, you will encounter side dishes that could only be considered basic at best. For a city known for flavourful food it was frustrating to know I wasting my only evening in restaurant with basic incompetence. The last and most frustrating piece was the lack of service awareness. Not only were we pouring our own wine due to the inability for timely observation the waiter also did not acknowledge that half of my meal was untouched after I communicated the steak was cooked wrong. Had this been a real steakhouse that served high end clients we should have received an apology and a compliment for all items that missed the mark. This restaurant is nothing but a pretty interior with no substance and an inability to execute. Don't waste your valuable time and your money here. read more

Went last Sunday for my friend's birthday. We sat in the lounge because we were just looking for some snacks and cocktails. We ordered the crabcake, onion rings, aburi salmon, spicy tuna roll, fries and a rib steak to share. Every thing was great and presented beautifully. The star of the night though was definitely our server. Jill was so very gracious and professional. She guided us through the menus like a champ and her service was over the top. Will definitely go back. Even better if we could sit in Jill's section again. read more

Horrible service, overpriced and not well kept. I wrote an email to the hotel and never received a follow up email. Disappointed to see how poorly our dining experience was handled. read more

I had the pleasure of dining with Brigette as our server. When we arrived we had a patio seat, they knew we had an event to go to and all the food was brought promptly. The drinks were amazing, and Bridgette had awesome recommendations for pairings. The restaurant was super packed but she made us feel like we were her only table. Every-time I go to the Victor, I look forward to having Bridgette as she is knowledgeable, and always a friendly face to see, can't wait until our next time we go! read more

This restaurant is amazing. The food is incredible, perfectly cooked, and the service is really personalized. We had brunch with 10 friends last weekend. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious - especially the pancakes. They were so fluffy and delicious! The caesar bar and moscow mule carts are both really nice and fun touches. Everything was perfect! I've been to Victor for dinner on numerous occasions too and it never fails to disappoint! read more

The Victor is an excellent restaurant with amazing staff. I go here quite often with friends and family. Last time I went with a few friends we sat in the lounge and Jill impressed all of us with her food and drink recommendations. Having great staff like Jill really makes the difference at the end of the day. read more

Tasty bites at this ritzy establishment situated on the 6th floor of the Parq. The front of the restaurant faces a pool which creates a nice ambiance just before you walk in to tantalize your taste buds. I highly recommend the melt-in-your-mouth wagyu steak read more

We arrived on time for a 8pm dinner reservation, but was told the table was not ready yet. After 20 minutes of waiting and watching other people arriving later being seated first (which made no sense), we were finally seated. The rib-eye was only acceptable, hardly memorable. The only advice I have if you want to come here is be prepared to wait, both for getting a table and getting service. All the staff looked overwhelmed. read more

Beautiful room, nice decor, we sat on the couches and had a great time. The food and service was good, one of the managers Ash was super personable and funny. All in all, had a great date night there. read more

Honestly if this is the best steakhouse in Vancouver. Although not cheap it is better value than other steak houses and you cannot beat their steaks. The bonus is they have an extensive and outstanding sea food menu. Lots to choose from. If there was a negative it would be the pricey wine list. read more

was very disappointed with my service , the streak was under the impression I expectected, but the biggest disappointment was the service staff. Rude, Not attentive to customer, my food was cold, steak undercooked, Brussel sprouts had too much vinegar and were soggy. I think the servers name was florin. won't come back to this restaurant get your staff trained properly. read more

Absolutely horrid experience - WILL NEVER GO BACK. Rude server, appetizers took 1 hour to arrive, $60 steak arrived cold and after asking for our bill - it took 30 minutes to arrive. The manager comped our meal, which was only one main and a cocktail at that point, and was appreciated. This is an overpriced restaurant with a fabulous view. Go for a cocktail but do not expect a dining experience! read more

Party of 13 including 3 seniors and 3 kids. We ordered 3 different aburi sushi, crab cakes, sashimi salad, halibut, wagu burger, and the Tamahawk Steak with one full lobster. The latter was definitely a show stopper and tasted tender and flavoursome. The side dishes were perfect too. It was a wonderful evening due to the experienced cooking, fresh ingredients but our server "James" truly made the evening special. He was knowledgeable about all the dishes, wine, made relevant recommendations for our group, and had perfect timing. We were never rushed and my glass was never empty. The staff were organised and faultless. It is rare to dine with our visiting-guests, and we were so proud to have taken them to a memorable dining experience. It was an expensive dinner, but boy was it worth it! Please reduce the volume of the music. read more

You have to try the BRUNCH! They opened Sunday brunch last week and it's one word: AMAZING. They have a "Do it yourself" Caesar bar...with every fixing and hot sauce and condiment you could ever dream of..they also have a candy bar for free when you dine with them right when you walk in! I had the avocado & smoked salmon on a bagel with eggs, and had the shrimp dumplings and duck spring rolls.. me and my boyfriend will be making this a regular thing twice a month on Sundays! CHECK THIS PLACE OUT. You will not regret it, and the service was 10/10. I've also dined here for dinner and it's great as well. :) read more

Evening was exceptional. Highlighted by the service of Beck Chung. Will return. Tomahawk steak and the waygu was phenomenal. Maebe was also transcendent as a server. read more

Very disappointing! We had a company dinner here and it was not a very pleasant experience. Tried the appetizer aburi sushi and nigiri sushi. These are just normal and nothing special. The standard for the recommended sushi was way below Miku or Minami. 3 of us tried the steak and all of them turned out to be SOOOOOOO salty! One of us could not take a second bite of it. I got the scallop which was ok, however, the purree and side greens were again TOOOOOO salty! Desser was just ok, again nothing special for a meal at this price. We spend $750 here for a party of 6 and it was not worth it at all. We could have way better experience had we went to Miku or Blue Water Cafe. WIll not come back here again for sure. read more
