Was visting Vancouver for work and we all went out for after a long day at the TradeShow. Nice venue in the heart of downtown. I ordered the Pasta Vongole. It was good, the spaghetti noodles were fine and perfectly cooked. I like the addition of the breadcrubs on top, which is tradional topping. I asked our waiter for his receommendation on the main dish and I felt that I was mislead and should of stuck to my original choice of the sable fish. Poached Pear desert was nicley presented with sugar lattice. read more

Fun and beautifully decorated for Christmas. We went for brunch and had a great meal. Food was a little slow but they gave complimentary smoothie shot and mini donuts to all tables. The $12 Benny was a great deal and the chicken and waffle was made perfectly (although we thought there was too much going on with the butter and bourbon syrup) Their side of bacon was a good try as it was cooked well and had a perfect smoky taste. read more

I don't know why people are so angry at this place lol they deserve much better rating. Went there for the 2 ppl dinner deal, it was amazing. I was so full I couldn't walk afterwards. The steak was amazing the fried rice was so delicious, I also really enjoyed the calamari. We thought the food wouldn't be enough so we added bread, it was so delicious but we made a mistake by ordering too much. The dessert was huge too, I didn't really like it since it was lacking some coldness element, maybe reduce the size of the cake then add a scope of icecream? Service is pretty good! It's a beautiful restaurant. read more

We came for happy hour on a Friday and the place was empty at 3:30pm Fried Mac and cheese ($12) - not enough cheese inside and the outside wasn't crispy enough Mussels ($15) - were kind of small and the portion was small too. Flavour was they were okay but nothing I would go back for Chicken foie gras ($18) - no foie gras flavour whatsover. The sauce was way too sweet and the whole dish just didn't go well together. The truffle fries ($10) - the truffle fries were the best thing of the night. Crispy and fresh We also has a Cosmo, a sangria and a martini all of which were not memorable and didn't stand out. Overall I would not recommend glowbal for happy hour. Their happy hour menu has a lot of options but execution wise it wasn't great. I wouldn't go back for it and would choose their sister restaurant Riley's instead read more

Stopped in for drinks on a busy Friday night and the place was packed. Short wait before grabbing bar seats with a great view of the kitchen. The holiday Nutcracker whiskey cocktail was excellent with a fun smoked presentation. Drinks took a bit due to the crowd, but the staff was incredibly friendly and even brought complimentary prosecco (non-alcoholic for my pregnant wife) while we waited. One downside: the downstairs stairwell to the bathrooms had a strong odor--definitely needs attention. read more

On our last trip to Vancouver, we were happy hour hopping and noticed this restaurant with a patio really close to our hotel and decided to check it out! We weren't starving since we had already been to a few places, but we stopped in for drinks. The patio we sat in was really cute, and our friends had oysters which they said were fresh. The service was great, and my absolute favorite part was the drink they can print a picture onto!! Not the best tasting drink at all, but having a picture of my dog in the drink was so fun! I would come back to try other happy hour food items. We had a great time. read more

This place is amazing. And they have a great deal every day during happy hour Monday to Friday. It's usually a $20 lunch. My favorite is the Friday burger and beer and for another $5 you get avocado, bacon and mushrooms along with it. Shout out to Garbrielle for being an awesome server. The ambiance here is fantastic as this is Glowbal after all. If you're looking for an affordable weekday lunch, come to Global! read more

We visited on a warm sunny day and sat in the patio section for our weekend brunch. Our party of four loved the ambiance here and enjoyed the convenient location for walking around downtown after brunch. Service was polite and decent, not overly attentive and they were prompt in bringing us free donuts and smoothie shots at the beginning of our meal. We ordered dishes they are known for such as their brussel sprouts, Eggs Benny, French Toast, and we tried some new dishes which were on par. There's mixed reviews about their dinner but we think Glowbal is a good place for catching up over weekend brunch on a nice day. Since its early years, they offer a discount deal on eggs benny and free shots of smoothie and cute mini donuts as part of their weekend brunch special gesture. Plus it is easy to get to via SkyTrain to avoid hassles and costs of downtown parking. We enjoyed meeting at Glowbal for our reunion gathering and would happily return again for brunch! read more

I went here tonight for a team dinner. This is definitely upscale prices so plan ahead, but tonight they were offering a 3-cource meal starting at $49 that came with an appetizer, entree, and dessert. I thought this was a fantastic buy so this is what I chose over the $230 tomahawk lol. For my appetizer I started with the Burrata Salad. It came with a whipped ricotta on the bottom dotted with orange segments and roasted beets topped with a half a burrata, endive, puffed rice and pistachios. This was very tasty and well-balanced. I haven't had beets in years as I'm not a fan, and these were good. The burrata added great creaminess and the puffed rice added great texture. For my entree I ordered the strip loin steak medium with roasted brussel sprouts, a pomme puree, topped with a black pepper gravy. This was very tasty and my steak was well seared and tender. I loved the brussel sprouts and the black pepper gravy tied the whole dish together. For dessert I chose the creme brulee cheesecake and it was beautiful. It had wonderful fresh elements with fresh fruit yet the cheesecake was so creamy and not overly sweet. When you combined everything together with the blueberry compote it was delicious. This restaurant is perfectly located in the middle of the city and is beautifully decorated. Our waiter was fantastic and did a great job explaining the menu, and everyone got what they wanted. It would have been nice to have an additional waiter for our party of 16 to attend to everyone's drinks as some were empty, but other than that, we had a great night. A wonderful ending to a great trip. read more

Huge, gorgeous patio. I normally come for happy hour or brunch. I recommend both! Just recently came for the big cut Thursdays and got an enormous 54oz tomahawk steak plus sides for $165. They pour butter and then torch both sides tableside which is cool to see. It was amazing and the service is always really great. read more

Lovely service from Lauren and her colleagues who even gave us little stools for our purses and my big backpack. Little surprised by the slow food service though. Attended for a group brunch to start at 11 am although our mains only ended up coming out at 12:45 which was a bit nuts. Only ended up leaving at 3 which is quite a long time for brunch at a restaurant. Wish that they'd offered a smoothie option without dairy in it or could have substituted my juice for it. Pastries were quite lovely. Took 3 from communal plates before getting my Korean chicken and waffles which I enjoyed very much. read more

I came here with a friend for brunch -- in particular, to try the $12 egg benny. We shared the rib and mushroom benny as well as a truffle mac and cheese (+$5). The service was lovely and the waiter brought us the complimentary smoothie shots and mini donuts to start us off. I'd definitely recommend the benny as the meat was juicy and tender (didn't notice much mushroom). The drinks were also delicious -- I tried the cranberry mimosa, a solid brunch pick! I dropped a star merely because unfortunately the mac and cheese was quite disappointing, it was a bit watery and didn't have much of a truffle taste at all. It tasted more like a macaroni salad almost. Overall, I'm glad to have finally visited Glowbal and tried their brunch Would come back for the bennies + mimosas. read more

I have to update my review. I usually have a great experience here but I went in last week after work to have supper with a friend. There were plenty of tables but the lady standing in front, I'm not sure if she's the hostess...insisted on sitting me at the bar. The front was konda chaotic and I couldn't tell who was the hotess since I wasn't greeted by anyone when i walked in. My friend came in and wanted a table so she asked one of the guys at the front who and he gave us a table but the older lady insisted that there's no tables available for us. I haven't seen my friend in awhile and we planned on having drinks and a full meal so she wanted to be comfortable. We ended up leaving and took our business to another Glowbal group restaurant, Riley, by the waterfront. Too bad for Glowbal management because the two of us spent well over $300 that night. All the other staff members at Glowbal was good as usual, except for the older lady standing at the front. She looked miserable and unwelcoming. It's really too bad because I felt embarrassed recommending to my friend we meet there for supper. I'll definitely not make that mistake again! read more

I came here for dinner tonight and unfortunately, this place was not up to my expectations. The food doesn't taste good. The oysters were sub-par. I had a couple that were definitely not fresh. They tasted very funky. The server was kind enough to replace it for me, but it still didn't taste good. My family members had the chicken and the beef tenderloin. They both said it was just alright. Pros: nice ambience, good brussels sprouts Cons: expensive for poor quality food, service was slow and non-attentive Once again, DO NOT trust Google reviews. At the most, I will give this restaurant a 3.5 not 4.5. I hope the Glowbal Group does something about this place because with the plethora of good restaurants in the city, I will not be patronizing them anymore. read more

Went for happy hour last month and shared a bottle of their red wine and appreciated they had grilled chicken skewer on HH menu (very small portion) as all restaurants mostly have fried options for HH. Speaking of, also the fried calamari. Good value for HH but had to get a bite elsewhere as portions are small so wasn't full. We sat in their carriage on the covered patio as it was a rainy day. Our waitress was good. Glad to mix it up versus always going back to the same places for HH. read more

i was blown away by this place! tldr: went for the cocktails, stayed for the steak. this place hands down is the BEST fancy restaurant i've ever been to! tip: go on THURSDAYS. they have smth called "big cut thursdays" where they have two steak sets you choose from at a discounted price. we got the 34oz Grilled Porterhouse Steak And Jumbo Garlic Shrimps With Chimichurri ($135) and for 2 ppl it was a lot of food (we were lowkey struggling). like i think it can easily feed 3 ppl. steak- asked for medium rare. It was actually medium rare. that thing was so tender we cut it with a butter knife. also they do this table side service where the chef sears the outside with a torch in front of you and slices the pieces. he was super knowledgeable about each cut of steak! chimichuri sauce was heavenly and paired so well w/ the steak (it was slightly spicy, salty and green onion-ish. soso good) jumbo shrimp- pan fried i think. idk what they seasoned it with but it was tangy, salty, and had a bouncy(?) texture. super yummy salad- seemed Asian inspired; had deep fried lotus root crisps on top of a spring mix, coated w/ a sesame dressing. it had the perfect amount of dressing to salad ratio. usually i find that salads often drown in the dressing, so i was pleasantly surprised! also comes with truffle rigatoni, roasted vegetables, potatoes with a mysterious tasty orange sauce. all i can say is they even made Brussels sprouts taste amazing We also got drinks: the illusionist ($26) and empress martini ($23). they didn't look that impressive compared to the photos and were kinda tiny. the illusionist was a bit of a letdown-had a strong prosecco taste but i just don't think it goes well with the peach. the empress martini was sweet and a lavender flavour. very nice! read more

The zara of restaurants; you leave paying over $100 for shein quality product. My boyfriend and I came here for Valentine's day this year, mostly because we moved to Vancouver recently so we wanted a cheap but nice place to eat and we did in fact get a cheap but nice place to eat. Ambiance was nice, this is where you go with your girls for a fun night out or a first date. It's vibey, its aesthetic, it plays pop music like chappell roan and the song olivia rodrigo wrote for the hunger games prequel movie. Service was standard, Omar did a great job delivering our food, cleaning up the cutlery and he was in and out. Nothing to complain about, nothing to rave about. Wish I wasn't automatically charged 18% tip but i understand he's hustling on valentine's day. Food was bland. By far the worst beef tartare I've had in my life, not in a disgusting way but, out of all the ones I've had, i can confidently say it sits at the bottom. Bread was soft yet burnt, tartare quite literally tasted like nothing. The Spaghetti was okay, more taste than the tartare but comparable to canned spaghetti and the meatballs reminded me of the ones i used to get as a kid at Pickle Barrel (torontonians, iykyk). I will say there is ~some~ hints of truffle as if the truffle breathed on it but it in no way complimented the dish and i forgot about it by the time i finished the dish. My partner and I give this a 5/10, kinda wish I went to Halal guys tonight. read more

Came to this place for business and was pleasantly surprised with the service, food, and the inside! It was clean, beautiful, and the architecture was very modern. You could tell the building was crafted with care and precision. Got the 3 items: Pumpkin and Yam Soup - Extremely creamy, flavorful, and mildly sweet! Short Braised Ribs - Savory, well cooked, and fell apart easily. Desert was delicious (didn't catch the name, but I put a photo of it before it got devoured). While the reviews are questionable, my experience was great to say the least and I would return when I get back to Vancouver! read more

We made the reservation online, it specifically asked if it is any special occasions and noted it's our anniversary. We called the restaurant and reconfirmed it's our anniversary and can't wait to celebrate at the Glowbal. The host at the entrance can not handle more that one group of people at a time, just let people queue up when she is stuck serving the walk-in. We got seated near the entrance and for sure no one is aware we were there to celebrate. Food is good, server was only doing there jobs and atmosphere is really not as it promo. Tool is still dirty. If you are looking for good food, this is the place, but for Experience, DON'T Bother! read more

Our first time at Glowbal was several years ago for a Holiday season buffet. This was our second time at Glowbal and once again, it was for a buffet. This time it was a Father's Day buffet. There were a ton of options both hot and cold. I loved the made to order omelette station! I'm not a huge fan of raw oysters myself but others at my table piled up on the oysters and said that they were really good! The temaki sushi station was something I hadn't seen at a buffet before and I quite enjoyed it. Crab legs were the one disappointment as the shell was extremely tough to crack, which made it super hard to get any meat out of the legs. I gave up eventually and left the leg on my plate. Glad I only took one to try. My personal favorites from the desserts were the Passionfruit macarons and the fruit tarts! Hope that I can make it out here to try their regular menu sometime! read more

top tier casual/finer dining with exceptional service my wife surprised me with an package steak and seafood dining experience for a special occasion. We found the med rare steak cut rather tough and did not eat it. We did not complain nor commented on it but staff noticed it went untouched when they cleared the plates and offered to redo it for us Manager came over to make things right which we found very attentive. Having been to all the various Glowbal restaurants, we have always found the food to be great but their service sets them apart from others in this competitive dining space. Emad knows how to take care of his dining customer and it resonates through the organization We have been fans since it opened as Glowbal are part of our go to list of frequented quality restaurants with high quality ingredients and in house pastry chefs for desserts! read more

Went for a date night and made it just in time for happy hour. We started with sangria, East Coast oysters, beef tartar crostini, and salmon poke. The oysters, though small, were flavorful with a perfect balance of salty brine. However, the portion sizes for the crostini and poke were underwhelming. The 32oz short rib steak, cooked for 28 hours, was incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Paired with a refreshing pear and scallion salad and potato mash, it was a highlight of the meal. However, we wished for more mash and salad, given it was a shared plate. Dinner ended on a sweet note with a decadent cheesecake, balanced by a refreshing lemon sorbet and yuzu curd. While the happy hour menu was tasty, it felt overpriced for the portion sizes so we wouldn't intentionally return for this. The box has been checked for tried it, may or may not return. read more

A Glowbal feast... Been around the whole Glowbal scene many times throughout the years already; Black and Blue, Coast, Italian Kitchen, Riley's, Trattoria, Five sails. In recent years, a lot of them went from good to becoming whatever to wt...?!? (Literally.. wtf..s for a couple of places. Either talents are being stretched too thin due to too many restaurants own by the group or hired some managers riding on the high horse too much.. especially at Riley's). Anyways, the last time here at Glowbal itself was half a decade ago and let's just say its best left unsaid. Decided to give it a try for the Father's Day brunch buffet (chose this over the 3 other brunch buffets so toes crossed!) Here were some of the food I had at the buffet; 1. Snow crab legs. Perhaps provide some crab cracker utensils would be nice?!? 2. Smoked salmon, clams, shrimp cocktail. Pretty fresh. 3. Charcuterie board. Nice selection of cheeses, sliced meat and hams, olives, pickles, etc... 4. Breakfast station. Was pretty stocked up on all the main breakfast essentials including a made to order omelette station. 5. Roasted beef. Usually have bad experience at most of the carving station but this roast beef was actually juicy and tender. (Even saw granny asking for a thick juicy piece of meat several times) 6. Cooked food. The meatballs with rigatoni was pretty good (the meatballs were juicy and tasty, even granny there was loading up and fighting for only the balls... seriously what's with grannies and meats and balls!?!?). The salmon, flatbreads, roasted vegetables, etc... were decent. 7. Dessert station. From macarons to cheesecakes to tarts to fresh fruits, etc..., decent selection to end it on a sweet note. Overall, the atmosphere was vibrant and lively with casual short lineups of hungry mouths patiently waiting for or fighting for their piece of meat or meatballs and diving into an assortment of desserts. There were a decent selection of tasty food and desserts to satisfy most hungry mouths. The price was pretty reasonable or cheaper than some other buffet places in the downtown area during special holidays. The service was certainly a pleasantly surprise! From the hostess to the server, I would say best experience I had so far from all the Glowbal restaurants I visited in the last decade. (Seriously, our server was not just awesome with us but with all the tables she was serving! Besides the mandatory tip added to the bill, I tipped her some more on the side). Also good to see all the managers being busy helping out and thanking all the customers for coming. In conclusion, I truly enjoyed the experience this time around at Glowbal's Father's Day buffet. I will definitely be back for their next buffet and give them a shot again for dinner during the regular days. read more

We used Glowbal's Buy Up for our wedding anniversary this year! It was an extensive menu valued at $230 for only $130. Though, we did add on a few extras since it was a special occasion.

It is such a refreshing dish ° Burrata & Proscuitto Panzanella: I can't resist ordering burrata if I see it ° Steak, Lobster, & Jumbo Prawns: It was a looot of food ° Cheesecake: Such a cute touch with the sparkler We opt to have the prosecco at the end with our dessert course.

I visited Glowbal last night with my husband and toddler. It was a spontaneous decision after shopping, and we were fortunate to snag a table. Due to a private event, we were seated indoors, but the cozy and warm ambiance, paired with festive Christmas music in the background, made it feel magical and inviting. We ordered drinks--mulled wine and a "Pick Me Up"--and shared the winter squash risotto and burrata cheese from the small plates menu. For my toddler, we got a creamy white pasta. The drinks were absolutely fantastic, especially the mulled wine, which was perfect for the chilly weather; the spices and temperature were spot on. Both the risotto and burrata were incredibly fresh, and as a vegetarian, I appreciated having several options to choose from. The staff was friendly and accommodating, especially as we had a stroller with us, which they helped us park comfortably in a corner. The restaurant's spacing worked well for families. While the prices are on the higher end, the quality of the food, drinks, and overall experience made it worth it. I'm looking forward to returning to try more of their amazing cocktails and checking out their brunch menu next time! read more

I went to this restaurant for the first time this weekend for a friend's birthday. The restaurant is very gorgeous... beautifully laid out and decorated. Even though it was high end, it didn't feel cramped in any sort of way. They do have quite a decent menu to choose from (desserts to main menu to drinks) which is wonderful. Various things for people to eat which is great! Service was wonderful - it was very personable which I was very surprised about. As a foodie who visits alot of restaurants, I hardly see this type of personable service so this is a great thing to look for in a restaurant. They had a coat check area in the front for anyone who wanted to not worry about their jackets at their table: not something you see very often at restaurants. So despite many positives, just some feedback I personally felt: like many other restaurants do, unfortunately their menu doesn't really tell you whether something is gluten free, vegan, dairy free or vegetarian (for example) unless you ask the server... we kinda played a guessing game until we asked our server and he was great in letting us know so I'm thankful for that. I kinda wish the menu did tell us that. As someone with a dietary restriction/allergy, it ends up being difficult that to find something to eat if it's not mentioned in the menu unless we ask the restaurant staff. Additionally, It is quite a pricy restaurant so just keep that in mind going in to it. Overall, we had a great experience here. We loved everything and it's a restaurant I'd love to come back to. read more

We tried the coffee dalgona with almond milk. It wasn't very strong coffee flavor so I would not recommend this. I enjoyed the service but the seating we had wasn't ideal because we were in the middle of where servers and the drink cart was pushed which bumped into my chair.

we celebrated our anniversary at glowbal with their buy-up dinner, $130 for two, valued at $230. we started the evening with a few happy hour drinks and calamari, which was tender and lightly battered. the buy up dinner included the following: prosecco, mac & cheese balls and togarashi prawn chips with scallion aioli. the appetizers were just as impressive: albacore tuna crudo with honey tamari and edamame hummus, followed by a burrata and prosciutto panzanella that stole the show. the burrata was perfectly creamy, pairing beautifully with heirloom tomatoes, honey mustard focaccia, and aged balsamic. we couldn't finish and had the rest packed to take home. then came the main event: a canadian prime new york steak, served medium tare, alongside butter-poached (spiny) lobster (no large claw) and jumbo prawns. the sides were standouts, especially the black truffle pomme purée, grilled broccolini, roast corn, in a rich beurre blanc sauce, every bite was indulgent. the glowbal cheesecake for dessert was a little underwhelming, with brûlée topping, blueberry compote, and fresh berries. now, I'll be honest: this was our second time at glowbal. the first buy up experience fell flat, but this time? they nailed it. shoutout to crystal, john, ainsley, steeven, and the rest of the glowbal crew, the service was flawless both times and made the night extra special. read more

Came here for a sneaky happy hour session and was quite pleased. It was my first visit to Glowbal, and service was a standout, very friendly and quick turnaround for check-ins and food beverage timing. We ordered a Winter Egg Nog, The Roof, Calamari, Yorkie, Brussel Sprouts. For me, the standout was the Brussel Sprouts, these I could write home about how creamy and toasted these were. I also loved the dipping sauce for the Calamari. The Roof cocktail reminded me of a Paloma, it was citrusy with tequila and checked my boxes. Glowbal feels very boujee glam. A place where you can dress up a notch or celebrate a life win. We initially came for happy hour but ended up spending more than I had anticipated. While my stomach and eyes were delighted, my credit card was less than pleased. read more

Glowbal - Happy hour with crispy brussel sprouts - Canadian (New) Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This was a date night that I planned a month ago when booking and I understand delays and issues can happen but I think how the server addressed them could have been handled better. He mentioned our entree would take a little longer than normal but after knowing we have been waiting for an hour, he could've kept us in the loop but instead he would purposely avoid us until we had to bring it up with the hostess. I do appreciate the manager or supervisor coming to apologize and then providing us complimentary drinks and dessert but to me, it was a very reactive rather than proactive approach. By this time, we already had a bad experience but tried to make the best of it. I think what really made me want to write this feedback is when we asked to pack up the remaining food, as a server, you would usually ask if we want to keep the items on the plate or maybe ask if we would like more sauce for the steak. You could clearly see that our t bone had tons of meat left but instead he returned with just the sides. I then asked for the t bone and some sauce in which he returned wrapping the bone in tin foil and no sauce. To add insult to injury, when I was paying, my partner could clearly see him hovering over me checking on how much tip I would give him. I'm honestly flabbergasted at our experience as I usually have really good ones dining at this chain. Truly disappointing and debating if I want to come back again. If it wasn't for the food, I would've given this a lower rating. read more

Came here for brunch on my friend's bday - she made the reservation and upon arrival we were asked if we were celebrating anything special - we confirmed and the hostess made a note and then we were seated. The decor of the patio seating of the restaurant is lovely, it's green with plants and flowers and has purple and lavender accents. There is cabana-style booth seating and also tables - we were seated in a cabana-style booth. Shortly after being seated we ordered our drinks, apps and entrees. I ordered brussel sprouts, Risotto w/ salmon and peas and my drink was Lillet Rose. My friend ordered oysters for her app, I can't recall her entree, and she had the Empress Martini. We both ate most of our food. Overall, the service was good, the wait staff were professional and the restaurant was as clean. My fave part of the restaurant however was the ambiance. If ever in Vancouver again I'm not sure if I'd return but I do recommend that others try. read more
