    White wine flight: Rose, Pino Gris and Gewürztraminer.
    Steve K.

    Picked this spot for drinks between lunch and dinner. Couldn't have chose a better spot. Not my usual lengthy review, but it was just for drinks. Had a nice selection of specialty cocktails, wines, and whiskey. My wife chose white wine flight (choose 3 out of 5) and I had the Canadian Whiskey flight (choose 3 out of 4). Everything was great but the star of the show was the service. Our bartender and one of the other staff (presumably waiter) were engaging and carried on a stimulating conversation. These guys were super friendly and really a pleasure. Very classy and modern feel. Not a huge place, but roomy enough. Sits inside the Hyatt Regency. Note they are closed between 2p-3p. Just happened to show up just after 2p. No biggie as we got a coffee StarBucks (also inside the hotel).

    This is going to be short and sweet. Go. I'm staying at the hotel it's housed in so super easy location. Staff is beyond friendly and attentive. I had a wine flight of all local wines and the truffle parm fries. I might dream of them tonight. Cooked to perfection and oh so yummy! They have a ton of local beers, wines, bourbons, gin, etc. too!

    Nice restaurant inside the Hyatt Regency in Vancouver. We had pizza, which was quite good. Lisa, lir server, was great. The restaurant decor was very elegant, but cozy. Ambiance is relaxing.

    The server, Alex, was so accommodating to my needs, even substituted a few things and double checked with the kitchen whenever he wasn't sure if it was what I needed. Very prompt, above and beyond service. The hummus wasn't spicy at all so don't let that stop you from ordering it.

    Neat lounge located in the lobby of the Hyatt hotel. They serve both food and cocktails. I went for a quick nightcap, and the bartender was nice and helpful. She also recommended some other late night spots on the area.

    Located in the lobby of Hyatt, I finally tried out this bar for a casual weekday catch-ups. They have a wide variety of seasonal and original cocktails on rotating basis, which are pretty good, though a friend complained that they didn't have anything whiskey based. I got a white wine tasting flights ($27), which had a nice combination of BC based winery. The waffle fries ($12) and chicken wings ($19) were also decent, with one caveat of the food taking +30 minutes to arrive.

    We stopped into Grain Tasting Bar while visiting Vancouver. Here are my thoughts: LOCATION: Grain Tasting Bar is located inside of the Hyatt Downtown Vancouver, which is one of my favorite hotels in Vancouver. ATMOSPHERE: I really like the ambiance of this lounge. It is elegant and modern, but still warm and cozy. Very well decorated and a fun place to have drinks and appetizers. SERVICE: I have been to this lounge 3 times and the service has always been good. Our server was so sweet and attentive this last time. We asked for some recommendations around the area and she took the time to really help us out. FOOD/DRINKS: More than anything, I love the wine flights coupled with their Charcuterie & Cheese plate. It's a wonderful experience that I highly recommend. The Grain Beef Sliders are also very good and worth a try.

    Service is great. Bartenders are chill and friendly. Nice ambiance, modern and clean. However, food is mediocre compared to a lot of other places downtown. The fish tacos were salty (Atlantic salmon) but other than that, not much flavour.

    I decided to stop here for a late bite to eat after a late arrival into Vancouver. I have 2 stars because I was underwhelmed by the food/drink and staff didn't really know the menu. I ordered the Kung Pao cauliflower, which was just cooked cauliflower in a sauce and the waffle sweet potato fries. The fries had a good crisp but overall were kind of bland. Not pictured was the pear martini, it was okay. The garnish was too big and I ended up having to take it out or hold it in order to take a sip. As for the bar, it's definitely dim lit and gives a moody/romantic feel. Okay for a nightcap before heading to your room rather than a place to hang out or eat

    This place was on the ground floor of our hotel so we stopped in for happy hour. Our server was outstanding and she took great care of us! We enjoyed beer and whiskey flights between us and loved the variety. We loved that we could sit inside and they opened up the large windows to the outside. It was a wonderful afternoon!

    Nice little bar in the Hyatt Regency. Superb selection of Canadian whiskies with very knowledgeable staff. Excellent service.

    Came I. To have dinner while staying at the Hyatt hotel. Was waiting for the server to come ask me for a refill on my 7uo that was 3.50 never got it. Also asked for a desert at 10:04 and was told the kitchen was closed. That they closed at 10:00 I will never eat here again or recommend it to anyone in town. Stay away from this place there are many other places walking distance with way better service. My service was a man and name k. The receipt is Jenny. F

I throughly enjoyed both of my mocktails; blush hour and another drink that isn't normally on their menu that had ginger. My favorite hors d'oeuvre was hands down the scallop. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We were offered a 5 course meal, thai soup was amazing. It had a kick to it thay clung to your throat but kept you wanting to coming back for more Chicken and waffles was too battered and salty for me, although I liked the pickled purple cabbage that came with it. The sorbet oalate cleansers was refreshing I had asked for my steak to come really rare and found it to be a bit overcooked. The texture seemed slightly different too. I would have enjoyed this more if there was a bit more sauce. Thr mashed potatoes were delicious and so were the Brussel sprouts and garlic carrots. Dessert was chocolate mint pot de creme. I normally don't like pot de creme but I will say that theirs was pretty decent.

Good wine list! Hubby switched to a negroni that he liked and I had more wine but this time late night happy hour had started which was a nice treat! We ordered the Dolce de leche dessert and the kitchen was lovely and gave us both desserts on the menu as a bday treat. The rice dessert was incredible - it was like sticky toffee pudding but with a rice base. The caramel sauce was killer! It blew the dolce dessert outta the water. The service was also kind and attentive! The music choices were odd for our night, I love vinyl and collect it myself but just wasn't feeling the vibes that evening, it was a lot of house style music and the same beat over and over with no lyrics. Some folks loved it tho and had asked to move closer to the speaker so to each is own. The tables are also really close to your neighbor so you catch quite abit of convo around you and it's a touch distracting especially when it starts to get little loud as the room is small. It was fun to people watch though.

Small but mighty wine selection including natural wines…read more We went in considering the prix fixe menu thats $65 per person but ended up ordering off the menu to try the things we wanted to as we weren't sure if the prix fixe menu would include all that piqued our interest. Ordering style was interesting, after we ordered our small plates we were ready to select our main courses but the staff just took our menu away and we had to ask another server to put in our main entrees. I understand they were busy so they may have assumed we were done ordering but it was a bit of an off putting experience. Overall food was good, the bread was divine. The highlight item for us was the tuna tar tar with chinese donuts, the chili crips totally brought the dish together. Everything else was pretty good, but wasn't amazing as I hoped. The citrus notes in the canton noodles threw me off and the chicken liver mochi balls felt more like a dessert dish than an appetizer for some reason. Highlight was having the DJ also be one of the servers!! Love the vibes that Bar gobo had, definitely a good date spot. Will have to come try it out again next season.

We sat at the bar and enjoyed chatting with Taku and watching him prepare drinks. They have an impressive cocktail list. The bar stools didn't have a backrest so it was a bit uncomfortable after awhile, I would've preferred sitting at a table. We started off with the June brioche and it was pillowy soft. Foie gras was their feature of the evening and although it was delicious, we were told it was cooked, but it was prepared as a cold dish. The crispy eggplant with tomato base was tasty. The mussels were incredibly fresh, topped with petite frites. Pasta for Rachel is named after the chef's wife and it was rich and addicting with potato filling. The only dish I didn't care for was the Fraser Valley chicken as it was a bit dry. I normally don't care for chocolate mousse but really enjoyed this one. They even added a candle for my birthday and gave me a mini ice cream cone.

    We were a table of 5 and they recommended that we choose at least 10 dishes to share. I generally…read morereally enjoyed our experience at June, but there were a few dishes that were disappointing. I loved the scallops. They were perfectly cooked. The sauce that it came with was so delicious that I literally drank it all up. It would have been perfect if they made a soup version of it. The Hamachi Crudo was also delicious. It was very fresh and tasty. The Frog Legs were surprisingly really good. They were deep fried and tossed in what I would consider to be a sweet chili sauce. The Beef Tartare and the Striploin didn't have much flavor. We upgraded the fries that came with the Striploin to truffle fries for $20. The additional $20 was a bit ridiculous, but it was nice to try. They had tons of truffle in the dip. The Trout Rilette surprised me by how good it was. It was packed with flavor and was slightly smoky. I enjoyed the Crispy Eggplant, although it was on the smaller side. It got soggy quickly, so I recommend eating it quickly. The Brussel Sprout Salade was served slightly warm. I liked the slight acidity of the dish. The Mussels were unique. The petite fries were slightly spicy. The sauce was good but could have used a touch more flavor. The Pasta for Rachel was disappointing. It didn't have much flavor. However, we really liked the Butternut squash and truffle ravioli. It was slightly sweet. I would have much preferred a double portion of this, instead of getting the Pasta for Rachel. The customer service was really great. The staff checked up on us and took the time to explain their menu. I found the restaurant to be a bit too dark for my preferences, but it was still acceptable. 4.5 stars
