Loved our experience at Nightingale, from the greeting, to the service, food and drinks - wonderful restaurant my husband picked to celebrate my birthday during our visit to Vancouver. The food was so fresh and didn't feel heavy, it was well proportioned. So much flavor in each dish! We got seated at the open table area where we got to be near the kitchen. Since it's an open kitchen format, we can see the meals getting prepared and it's such a fun experience! Truly a great dining experience, highly recommend this restaurant.

Bramble and pepperoni pizza

Love this spot still! Definitely make a reservation. We had dinner on the second floor and had a great assortment of food. The pizza was delicious. The baked Japanese potato was also sooo good. The clam spaghetti was also a crowd favorite. Great ambiance.

Kyoto Sour (5 stars)

I booked Nightingale for an early 5:30pm dinner since one of their signature dishes, Brick-Pressed Chicken is a favorite for our family. Our picky 6yo son will eat some variant of this dish most of the time. The restaurant is gorgeous - brightly lit, classy, and arranged on two floors, each with a dedicated kitchen. The upstairs even has an open kitchen. Despite feeling very upscale, the restaurant is super welcoming to all, from families with kids, after-work crowds, folks on dates, and even well-dressed stockbrokers discussing their latest trades. The food was outstanding and had inspirations from Italian, Mexican and Japanese influences: 1. The kid's cheese pizza turned out really good - thin crust, Neapolitan style with slightly charred puffy crust from the wood oven. Our son ate most of it before the brick-chicken arrived! 2. The smaller dishes are meant to be shared - the Japanese Sweet Potatoes and Roasted Cauliflowers are good sides for a protein-rich entree. Wife ordered the lighter Baja Scallops and enjoyed them. 3. The star of the dinner was the Brick-Pressed half chicken. Crispy seared crust and super-moist meat underneath. Unlike many places they added a bit of spice from the chilis and even mixed in some beef tallow for additional richness. Our son enjoyed it too, and was not fazed by the slight heat from the chilis. A crispy skin always elevates a chicken! Highly recommend Nightingale for epic food, great service, and welcoming vibe. Reservations are available but make them early. The restaurant was packed even on a Wednesday evening!

Two floor spacious dining experience - very clean , very well lit, comfortable vibes. Dropped by for Happy hour - there is quite a selection of treats you can choose from, however, note these are happy hour portions, if you are super hungry, this might not be for you and you'll need to order full size entrees. Service was very quick, friendly and engaging. I really liked the chicken nice coating and crisp to it. Pizza was underwhelming - tasted a bit burnt to be frank. rest of the dishes had nice flavor - however didn't have much of a wow factor - Good place to try out - maybe one day will be back to explore the menu -

Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Margherita Pizza
Srikantha K.

My wife and I had a pretty good time here. The food was good, especially the Roasted Brussel Sprouts! We loved it so much that we have since been making it at home several times since. Pizza was good but didn't meet the Brussel Sprouts bar. Service though was quite disappointing. We weren't getting the attention of the hostess for several tens of minutes each time we needed something. We waited long enough to get the attention of someone to get some red chilli flakes for the Pizza and finally we just ended up eating the Pizza without the chilli flakes since no one came to check on us for over 20 minutes. The place has a dim light setting for a nice romantic evening dinner date with your partner. Go here for the starters and for a inviting vibe.

After flying for many hours from the East Coast of the US, a cab ride from the airport, and checking into the EXchange hotel on Mother's Day 2026, we were starving and couldn't have been happier to find this place, and even happier that they had room for us to belly up to the bar. Service was terrific and we enjoyed our experience immensely. We enjoyed wine for me, bourbon for him, shared the fantastic foccacia to start (note it's large enough for at least 4 people, we took some back to the hotel). I had the smaller portion of spaghetti with clams he had the 100 layer lasagna. (that takes them 3 days to make) The spaghetti was clearly handmade, and it was way richer than I expected it to be, so I was glad I got the smaller portion. Very delicious! I got a small bite of the lasagna and thought it was very meaty and tasty. He polished it off, but did say that the charred topping took over tastewise a bit too much. Despite being stuffed, we found ourselves wanting to linger, so we ordered the caramel pot de creme, and Irish Whiskey for him, and a dessert tea drink for me with blueberry & breakfast tea, amaretto, grand marnier and cinnamon. All super delicious and again very rich! To top off our fine experience at this awesome restaurant, because it was Mother's Day and I'm a Mom, they gave me a wrapped box to take with us. Turned out to be a very pretty bluebell large mug. Super nice, thank you Nightingale!

Hamachi
Madi S.

This restaurant is perfect and I desperately wish I had one local to me. My mom and I spent 2 of our 4 nights in Vancouver here! The focaccia bread is to die for, and every appetizer we tried was delicious. We had the ahi and yellowtail hamachi as well as the roasted carrots and Japanese eggplant. Both nights we shared the large clam pasta and it was incredibly good. The dessert menu is also wonderful, but we were only able to try the vegan pb&j cake (which was delicious). They also make a great whiskey sour and all of their other cocktails looked amazing as well. Cannot wait to bring my family back here next year!

Hummus
Laurel A.

Wonderful service; I never had to ask for anything because so many team members were there to provide whether we needed, before we needed it. Beautiful menu and although no modifications can be made, the team delivered a menu to us with all the notes requested for our allergy / vegan safe options. Perfect for a team outing or intimate date night - tapas style menu, and each plate felt good for 2-4 people! I felt like I had 4 to 5 options for vegan meals, and my friend had about the same amount for dairy free I recommend making a reservation, and the venue has coat / bag check as well to make your dining experience even more comfortable.

Japanese sweet potato
Diana P.

We came for dinner with reservations for the chef's table. Sitting right along the kitchen gave us a clear view into the rhythm of service. Watching plates come together and seeing what other diners ordered added an extra layer of fun that you don't get at a standard table. From our visit, the roasted mushroom pizza stood out. I loved the combination of confit garlic, fontina, and arugula pesto. It hit a nice balance of earthy, creamy, and slightly peppery, and the crust had that ideal chew with a crisp edge. We also ordered the baked Japanese sweet potato which leaned simple but satisfying. It was soft with an almost custardy texture. The pork belly with chicharron was tender but definitely one of the heavier dishes of the night. Service was excellent. Dishes arrived at a comfortable pace, and the team seemed in sync with the kitchen, which you especially notice when you're sitting right in front of it. The interior had warm lighting, clean design, and just enough buzz to feel lively without being chaotic. The restaurant is large and I would recommend for small and large groups alike! Most importantly, don't skip dessert! One of the highlights of the night for sure.

Argentinian shrimp
Melly T.

One of the nice restaurants in Vancouver with unique bird cages on top of their bar area. Initially, I thought they wouldn't be family friendly but I was wrong. They have kids menu which included their famous pizza so obviously we ordered the pepperoni one for our son. The pizza itself was really good. It was thin and flavorful but the pepperoni was rather hot for my young son. We bunch a few appetizers and one entree. We loved their Argentinian shrimp which was so flavorful. We also tried their famous buttermilk fried chicken served with maple syrup. The batter was light and was fried perfectly (not oily). We also ordered the kale salad which came as generous serving. We ordered the trout as our entree. The trout was by far our least favorite; it was rather fishy for us. We wrapped up dinner with their carrot cake which was rather dry for my taste but the hubby loved it. Our waitress was great and very friendly.

Red mocktail
Kayla P.

My visit to nightingale was so nice. The server was so attuned to my needs, and inquisitive to my life rather than just taking my order. It was cool to be in front of the chef's kitchen as well. My one complaint is that servers should be dressed less casually. The food was great and serving sizes were proportionate!

We celebrated our anniversary at Nightingale, and overall it was a good dinner. We were greeted and took to our seat promptly. Ambience and decors are nice, but quite loud. Service is average,would have expected more genuine attention from a fine dining restaurant. We ordered cauliflower, hamachi, scallop, duck confit, waygu bavette steak and lasagna. Honestly everything tastes great, especially the scallop and steak exceed my expectations. The natural flavor of seafood and meat is so fresh, seasoned and cooked perfectly. The lasagna was lacking something, wish there's more tomato ragu sauce to go with it. We were too full to order dessert, but were surprised they didn't offer a small dessert or chocolate of some sort to celebrate our wedding anniversary. If they offer seasonal menu, I wouldn't mind going back in the future.

For our last dinner in Vancouver, we decided to try Nightingale since it's highly rated and I'm glad we did. The food was delicious and service was good. We enjoyed our meal. Make reservations on OpenTable and if it's for two, book the Chef's table. It's different than your typical chef's table because you're seated at booth with a view of the kitchen. Ordered: -kanpachi crudo -roasted brussels sprouts -buttermilk fried chicken -spaghetti with manila clams -grilled bavette steak They gave us 2 cookies to take home and they were one of the best cookies I've ever had. I'll be back!

Stopped by Nook on Denman Street for a casual Italian comfort food dinner…read more The Food The kitchen turns out straightforward, well-executed classics. We shared a pizza and the Rigatoni Boscaiola. The pizza crust had great leopard-spotting and a chewy, blistered edge, with the tomato sauce tasting bright and fresh rather than sugary. The rigatoni was cooked properly al dente, catching plenty of that savory, creamy mushroom-and-sausage sauce. It's thoroughly satisfying, though like many rich pasta dishes, the sauce leans on the heavier, saltier side toward the last few bites. We finished with a slice of their house tiramisu, which was airy, nicely soaked with espresso, and not overly sweet. The Service Lively, attentive, and down-to-earth. The staff handled the dinner rush smoothly, we were greeted warmly, menus were dropped right away, and wine recommendations were casual and honest. Even with a queue forming near the door, we never felt aggressively pushed out, though the pacing of the plates is definitely brisk. The Ambiance Snug, energetic, and very much a classic West End neighborhood joint. It's a tight room with warm lighting, rustic wood accents, and a bustling open kitchen/bar area that fills the space with good cooking aromas. Because tables are packed closely together, the noise level climbs quickly once the room fills up, so it feels more vibrant and buzz-y than quiet and intimate.

Great little place, aptly named. We loved the arugula salad. They left the meat…read moreout of the eggplant pasta at our request and it was perfect. Pizza rocked and so did the deserts. Everyone was so nice.

Ordered two pizzas from here on Uber Eats…read more My friend and I wanted to check out the local deep dish scene, and this seemed to be one of the few places that offered it, so we decided to give it a try. I didn't have very high expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised by the pizzas here. They offer a variety of veggie and meat pizzas that can be made with regular crust or deep dish style. We ordered a small deep dish margharita ($19.99) and a medium deep dish butter chicken ($23.99) pizza. Both weren't true deep dish pizzas, but the crust was nice and thick. I'd recommend the pizzas here to anyone who likes a breadier crust. My only minor complaint is that the pizzas didn't have enough sauce to complement the thick crust. The pizzas kept well for leftovers too. They tasted just as good the next day heated up in our toaster oven.

Woefully sub-average. It is best I can describe this place…read more Entered the place on a Monday afternoon whilst three East Indian men chillaxing in the dining area. They quickly jumped at my presence and returned to their stations as if they're caught slacking off. First idea was to order a deep dish but a few moments later upon entry I decided otherwise. I opted for 2 slices and a pop. Meatloaf and cheese. The sever didn't bother to warm them. They were dry and like old pizzas. Taste is okay/sub/average considering the price but very unlikely I will return.
