    English breakfast
    Michealea F.

    I like this location better than the one in downtown. It's well-decorated and the servers are attentive. They also have a charger on the table, which is really nice. The food taste the same though. Their buttermilk pancakes are really good. I got the build your own grand slam. Although the eggs and bacon are too salty for my own liking, it's a good balance with the pancake. I got tea as well and they serve it with tiny milk pods. Overall, denny's always nice to get a good breakfast for a mood boost. I also got the build your own slam for free since its my bday.

    This may be the Best and fanciest Denny's I've ever been to and there is a reason why. Test Kitchen. Apparently, this Denny's used to be some upscale restaurant so when they moved in, they left everything the same. So, this is Like a Dennys all dressed up to go to a Gala. Seriously it looks like $$$, five-star restaurant in here. The men's bathroom has such a modern, stone look to, matching the rest of the place. The lighting and tables are not your average southern U.S. Denny's. The purpose of the visit was killing time before meeting up with friends. Split a basket of nachos and I got a screwdriver. I'm don't think Denny's usually has a full bar either, but here you go. They even have a wine rack behind glass. Service was good, our waitress made frequent enough stops, but because it was such a small visit she wasn't needed all that much. I'd say if you're Denny's fan, for sure you should come here. Beyond that it's a decent enough basic breakfast experience + drinks.

    Had no idea that Denny's has a test kitchen. This location is quite different from the others, in that a) it's actually upscale, and b) there's an actual bar area (think Earls or Cactus Club), and of course c) there are new prototype dishes here. Parking is available on the side streets. The venue is split into a bar area and a restaurant area. I wouldn't go so far to say it's up there with Earls/Cactus Club, but the vibe is more like that of a hotel lounge. Staff are very friendly and professional. Service and refills with a smile, even when I drank probably 6 coffees. Tasty stuff. Crazy spicy skillet - spicy as in the black pepper type, not the hot sauce type. Chicken chunks had a nice kick. Decently large portion. Served on a sizzling platter. Super Bird - turkey bacon sandwich. Normally I'm not a fan of turkey, but this one was pretty good. Nice and moist, and the deli bread was toasted. Served with fries and gravy. The only thing that surprised me was that the place was pretty empty. In other words, this is a good alternative to those crowded downtown places.

    I haven't been to Denny's in a long time, but I was craving breakfast for dinner. I'm glad this place is still here and have lasted all these years. The venue is more updated, but it still has the same extensive menu. Basically a great meal, that has good sized portions at a good price. The breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, and shoe string fries was how I remembered it. Service is fast and courteous and they have free parking at an underground parkade for two hours. There is also street parking, but metered.

    Our set up to manage

    The manager (possibly owner?) was disgustingly rude. I simply asked for malt vinegar and the waitress showed me HP sauce and he yelled at me that they only have synthetic vinegar... maybe he meant authentic? Either way, a Denny's without malt isn't one I want to go to again... just kidding... About 5 minutes later the set up for our 5 month old twins that the manager yelled at us to move because he needed to seat customers in the restaurant that was only 20% full He was a jerk and had no business treating us so poorly. The music was fine but there was a lot of swearing and culturally inappropriate language. Good luck to them, they won't last long with staff like this.

    Had breakfast. Was good. Service was great. Super friendly. 2 hour parking below. Had the grand slam breakfast with side of hashbrowns. Delious!!!

    Grand slam and beef dip sandwich
    Leslie C.

    It's Denny's all day breakfast!! What's better than all day breakfast? I came here with my friend after work and had their grand slam with pancake, scramble egg, hash brown, and sausages, and a beef dipped sandwich. All the food looks good and their milkshake is the bomb. The atmosphere is nice but unfortunately the food is what you pay for, nothing fancy, delicate and quality. Just quantity and big portion. 4/5 because you get a free grand slam for your birthday with no sign up! I guess it's you're quick and dirty kind of upscaled fast food place when you're on a budget.

    A fireplace in the Gent's washroom! Are you impressed ? I was!!

Their "brunch burger" is a major missed opportunity though... this really should have a fried egg on it. You could possibly add an egg from the ala carte section of the menu, but those cost $3, so you'd be looking at $27 for a burger and a half a cup of fried potatoes. That's insanely expensive. Currently the brunch burger has two small patties which have a tendency to overcook and become dry. My patties were well-done despite me asking for medium - don't even ask if the kitchen can't deliver. Not sure what makes that a brunch burger, but it would be much better if those two patties were combined into one, and a fried egg was added, while staying below a $24 price point expensive burgers in Vancouver. Other restaurants can do it.... Oh, the other disappointing thing is that the card reader defaults to tips at 18, 25, and 28%. Not cool - we already pay servers high wages in BC, tipping should be 10% if not eliminated altogether. 28%? No thanks!

A big thank you to Mallory and the kitchen staff! This review is 3 months late, but even a few months later, we remember our meal like it was yesterday and can't wait to return the next time we're in Vancouver. Getting to experience a Michelin Guide-recommended vegan restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip! We had (from the June 2025 menu): the Bread, the Broccolini, the Chickpea Tofu, and the Potato Cavatelli. Not a single crumb, morsel, drizzle of sauce, or even pea was left on the plates! Every bite was so full of flavor and decadent, we were so sad when the meal was over ;) The stand-out though was the Chickpea Tofu, the best tofu we've ever had and it seemed to just melt in your mouth. We also loved sitting at the bar that overlooks the open kitchen. They offer those seats for guests who want a more immersive, interactive dining experience. It was really cool to watch the chefs create each masterpiece. Overall a truly memorable and delicious experience!

The burger was thick and juicy, on a brioche bun with aioli, lettuce, tomato, and pickle. The thin fries were a mountain of crispness. Prices are quite high - my meal was $23 without a beverage and my pop was $4 with refills. Service could have been better - I pretty much had to get my server's attention when I wanted a pop refill and the bill. But the portion size and food quality was impressive.

The room felt…read moreenergetic but still polished, lively without being loud, and the bar vantage point was excellent to see drinks and desserts get created. Service was exceptional, super dialed in and genuinely enthusiastic when explaining dishes without making it feel scripted. The food leans playful but it's backed by serious technique. Every single course was delicious and I could talk about each course but to keep things short here are some of my personal standouts: The "cheeseburger 2050" was the moment everyone talks about for a reason. It's built around elk tartare with layered components that mimic a classic cheeseburger, and somehow it genuinely tastes like biting into a cheeseburger. The bread alone deserves a shout. Soft, slightly sweet, and just rich and toasted enough to pull everything together. The wild part is how convincingly it eats like a cheeseburger. Not just similar, but actually triggers that same flavor memory. "Off the Coast" was another favorite, super clean and fresh. It leaned into ocean flavors with a clean, briny freshness, but the cabbage is what stood out for me personally. It had this perfect balance of crunch and tenderness, that made the whole dish pop. "Understory" completely surprised me. It was incredibly silky with a deep, savory flavor that felt like it had butter and cheese folded into it. But hearing that there was no cheese made it even more impressive. The braised cheek in "Low and Slow" was exactly what you want from that kind of dish. Deeply caramelized, intensely savory, and so tender it barely held together. It melted immediately but still had enough structure to feel substantial, not mushy. I was honestly nervous about the griddled goat since I'm not the biggest fan of goat cheese, but this dish was super balanced and approachable, rather than funky, and I ended up really enjoying it. Courses moved at a steady, comfortable pace, with just enough breathing room to appreciate each dish. From my visit, nothing felt rushed or dragged. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys thoughtful, modern tasting menus that play with familiar flavors in unexpected ways.

    Upon entering the staff greeted us & seated us. Asked if they could take our jackets which we…read moreagrred to. We were given the drink menu. I got a beer and wifey got an interesting drink that came with a small chocolate to alter the Taste. Called The night shift. After tasting the drink without the chocolate and then with the chocolate there was a distinct difference in taste which made it fun. You kinda get two drinks in one. Now to the interior of the place.. The decor of the restaurant was dark and black in color, with dark tones and interesting modern ambient lighting. A very classy and chic feeling as we sat at our table. The wait staff and host were also very friendly and spot on with service not feeling pretentious but welcoming and relaxed. Let's go through the tasting menu we had. We did add the accelerated or excellerated version of the menu which added caviar, black truffle, and wagyu A5 to perspective dishes. This was an additional cost to the base tasting menu. Cheeseburger 2050, the torn bread super crispy flaky and oily but not in a bad way. Perfect vessel to add in the deconstructed elk burger, caramelized onion puree as well as dipping into the mimolette cheese sauce. The sauce was super creamy and fluffy light in texture eating everything in combination was fun and delicious. A bit heavy feeling as well but this was the plan as after eating this first course we were given two small pieces of lemon rind with a jelly molded onto it. This was a lemony palate cleanser which was fresh and bright removing any heaviness you might have felt from the burger 2050. Bait and Switch. The XO on the cured/ smoked tuna food contain a beef element which when listening to the description my wife picked up on as she is allergic to beef. This info was already given to the restaurant and substitute for the beef dish was already made but I guess this slipped through. The waitress realized(all the wait staff appeared to be very aware of this info which was a great detail for fixing issues as we had here) right away and took this dish away and had the kitchen make one sans xo which was very fast. The shaved foie on top of the oyster melted as you took it into your mouth. Combined with the fresh oyster it was a interesting play with textures and flavors which was very nice. The smoked/cured tuna with shiso was tasty but I felt the shiso overpowered the flavor profile on a whole. Aged with Grace The duck was meaty and tasty not fatty. The sauce and daikon added a tartness and crispy texture to the entire bite of each piece of duck. There was also a bite size fried dish with i believe a froisgrois mousse on top. This was decadent and a very rich bite but flavorful. Off the Coast accel add came with caviar. This addition i do believe added to the flavor profile of the dish. The briny taste from the caviar in addition to the smoked lobster bisque and accompanied seafood was nice and fresh. Under Story This accelerated version came with the shaved truffle. I did not notice it but perhaps if I had a version without i might be able to distinguish between the two. This dish was delicious and tasted earthy which may be from the truffle. Over all this was a nice hearty down to earth flavor profile which was yummy. Slow and Low Wifeys sub for beef was a poached salmon and my accelerated version instead of striploin was Alberta A5 wagyu. The braised beef cheek to my though was the star of this dish. Super beefy and flavorful, crisp but tender as well and hit all the marks i like in terms of beef flavuuur. Griddle Goat Very interesting dessert option, the sour dough vessel for the goat cheesecake and white Chocolate was a play of textures reminiscent of a crispy grilled cheese. Very tasty goat cheesecake and Quince. Lovely texture on the tongue. Far from the Tree This dessert was very nice, the miso apple caramel for me was the highlight of this dish. Slightly salty from the miso but sweet as it was a caramel... super delicious. Uncooked crisps were a delightful texture breaker adding crunch to the soft financier and ice cream. I thoroughly enjoyed this dessert. Final bite A cryocookie which was basically a frozen concoction of ingredients frozen into a cookie. Very hard to bite at first but then it just melts in your mouth like ice cream. As it warms up it gets easier to bite into but the texture play was amazing. Overall a very nice and special dinner. Staff were amazing and food was an experience. Definitely worth a try.
