The area has developed quickly and having grown up nearby and moved away years ago, it's amazing to see what's happened along here. Prices - well, everyone has their hand out along here. We were in town somewhat last minute staying at Hotel Indigo. The hotel provides $10 drink coupons so we decided to drop in for an impromptu drink while planning our dinner strategy. It was already 7p so no view but live music and a nice buzzy ambiance. Wait staff were fast and friendly, and before we knew it two delicious cocktails were in front of us. At the same time, I overheard the waitress at the table beside us saying that food could be ordered from El Gaucho downstairs. So we asked for a menu and started perusing. If you don't know El Gaucho it's a classic steak restaurant with lots of cuts and sizes, a sprinkling of seafood, the usual salads, and tableside this and that. A notch above Ruth's Chris, Morton's or The Capital Grille but with Peter Luger Manhattan prices. Yes, that's right, Manhattan prices in Vancouver. WA. The Couv is all grown up. Or at least trying to be, Like Witness Tree, El Gaucho has a mandatory 20% gratuity regardless of party size. Theoretically this shouldn't be an issue if you know restaurant culture and tip appropriately but I think a mandatory fee rubs many wrong to assume service will always be at that level. And on top of very high prices. A $72 6oz filet is $86, so those 8 bites better be damn good. That said, we ordered oysters, a filet, seafood pasta, and wine. The wine list was decent but not as extensive for a premium steak restaurant. Wines had the typical markup which meant $20-35+ per glass. Both the pasta and steak were good but - and this may sound picky - at $72 for 6 ounces of steak (a bar of soap) I expect perfection which means medium rare throughout. The steak was medium in some parts. If I can achieve medium rare throughout at home it should be possible here. So here's the math (rounded) for those interested. Total bill: $295. $225 food and drinks, $45 service fee (mandatory 20%), and $24 tax (8.8%). Interestingly, the 20% service charge is taxed which means we actually paid $49 or 28.8%. Had I been given the choice of my own 20% tip it would be applied to food and drink and a slightly lower bill. Not a huge deal but these are the little details - call it "nickel and diming" patrons - that rub many wrong. One note - another server came to our table before our food arrived and placed a steak in front of me. Before he could place the other dish I told him it wasn't our order. He picked up the steak and delivered to another table. In most restaurants - and certainly in a premium setting - that dish should have been remade. Whether perception or simple hygiene you simply can't do that. All in all, the Witness Tree was a nice spot, with tasty cocktails and ambiance. Prices and service fee will be off putting for some, and not sure this would be my go-to as there are many rooftop / view options nearby.

We ordered 2 vodka sodas (they only have local vodka, so don't come here looking for Tito's lol). The vodka was good though! We also ordered their chilled shot special, it was chocolate orange, it was good but it only tasted like orange, and a mezcal tequila‍ We were the only ones there so ambiance was what it was ha. Definitely the hipster vibe as it says on the website, cute spot I'm not sure I'll be back - and there's no negative reason why, just not really my vibe.

This place is a great addition to downtown Vancouver!…read more This is a restaurant/bar where you can have some fun playing pinball. The vibe is exactly what they're going for, I think. There are three separate rooms with fairly ample tables and a bar in the first two. You order at the counter. The pinball machines are in the back room. It's a cool looking place. I didn't take many photos because there were enough people there that I didn't want to infringe on privacy. They have a happy hour from open until 5pm. We arrived at 4:30 and had no problem getting a table. The happy hour has food and drink specials. We ordered the gin gimlet and the Paloma to drink and the chicken nugz Nash style and the fries. I was impressed by their drink menu--there's something for everyone. The chicken nugz were that standout--moist chicken breast and great crunch on the outside. The Nash sauce was spicy/sweet and there was a ranch dipping sauce. The basket of nugz was huge! Definitely enough for 2-3 people. The fries were okay. If you pay $12, you get a wristband to play pinball. I can't remember the last time I played pinball, but the great thing is you don't have to have any sort of talent to play--it's just a fun time! You can play single or multiplayer. No problem getting onto a pinball machine, they have ample. A fun time all around and the staff was great! Highly recommend for a night out.

We got the "free play" wristband, which allowed us to play about 25ish classic pinball machines in the back room. Unfortunately, the skee-ball machines (my weakness) and the Godzilla pinball were in the front of house and not included. The wristband was a good value, and I found a few machines that I enjoyed. Overall: + Free play wristband + Over 21 venue + Good selection of machines - It was uncomfortably hot in the pinball room - no AC or fan. - One of the games didn't have a right flipper button, so the only option was to stick your finger in a hole, which weirded me out. - A few machines weren't working when I cycled back

They enjoy their hanging lights cause in the single bathroom in the bar, they have 4 lamps and I was like wow. Service was great! Very informative and attentive. We never needed to look for her. We went with her suggestion to share everything and that made the experience more fun. I loved the truffle mac and cheese, fried Brie cubes, and the scallop yakitori. The scallops are cute little guys and very tasty. All the skewers were delicious. I think next time I would skip the beef cheek poutine. The beef cheek was the best part and the other ingredients were just so so. Dessert? We got the chocolate pot de creme and chocolate lava cake. If you're just getting one, I'd recommend the chocolate lava cake. There are a lot of fun elements on the plate, great for sharing!
