    Food 3.5 Service 4 Ambiance 3.5 Fish and chips are normal. The batter is a lot bigger than the fish itself and the portion of fries is very generous. The butter chicken is rich. The one naan bread looks very oily and sad. Attentive service. Love the high ceiling that creates the feeling of expansiveness.

    FOOD - Poutine: fries topped with curds, gravy, and herbs. The portion was huge. It was good at first but it quickly got too much for me. 3.5/5 - Chicken Wings: 6 pieces of wings. We chose soy ginger and salt & pepper. Both were good. The wings were meaty and tender. 4/5 SERVICE: We got in really late and were happy they served late night dinner. The server was very nice and welcoming. 5/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: Food and service were good. Prices were a little steep but that's typical of hotel restaurants.

    We visited the restaurant for dinner and breakfast when we were staying at the hotel. Food was good and the staff were friendly. There is lots of seating, so there is usually no wait time. In the mornings, they have a great brunch buffet which we enjoyed. It is reasonably priced compared to other restaurants in downtown. The 5 star rating is mainly for their brunch buffet.

    DOVF - Tiramisu cake and house sorbetto
    Rosalyn L.

    Made a dinner reservation for dineout and boy did this place impress! For their $49 dineout menu, I ordered the burrata and beet appy, rigatoni semolina pasta, and the bailey's tiramisu, and they provided us fresh bread and butter to start. The appetizer was amazing and each element enhanced the dish in a different way. The rigatoni was delicious as well, and every element of the dish was done to perfection (especially the fried mushrooms which tasted almost like ebi tempura despite it being a vegetarian dish! Mind blown.) The tiramisu for dessert wasn't exactly a true tiramisu, definitely more like a cake with tiramisu flavour but it was unique and tasty nonetheless. My partner ordered the other options for dineout - beef carpaccio, lamb rack and house sorbetto. Each of these were delicious as well. The lamb was cooked to perfection and the sorbetto includes three different flavours (mango, strawberry and raspberry), I would recommend it if you want a lighter end to your meal. Service was great. The staff was friendly and happy to accommodate any food allergies or preferences. The restaurant is attached to a hotel and my only gripe would be that the bathrooms are a bit far away, though super spacious and clean. Also weird thing to note but I loved their water glasses! Showcase is seriously underrated and a bit of a hidden gem in the downtown Vancouver area, and I can definitely see myself coming back here soon.

    Sausage and Chicken Flatbread

    We ate at Showcase restaurant on Christmas Eve after our other plans fell through. This restaurant is located inside the Marriott Hotel. They were full in the dining room and were not accepting any more reservations for the evening. We were grateful they were still accepting walk-ins at the bar. They had a very limited menu. The food was just something simple to get us through the night. With it being the Eve of Christmas. Most places closed early or you had to have a reservation to dine. I ordered: The grilled chicken Caesar salad with bacon. They forgot the bacon, and after 3 bites, I realized something was missing. Then, they made it right by bringing out a small cup of bacon. That assisted with the overall taste. The other order was a flatbread with sausage, chicken, spinach, cheese, and pickled red onions. The service was good, but not great. The food was average and not outstanding. I have had both items elsewhere, so I know the difference.

    West Coast Fish & Chips
    Celine L.

    Overall a pretty good experience! We went for happy hour on a week day and it was decently busy. We ordered the flatbread ($15), the calamari $15) and the draft beer ($8) off the Happy Hour menu. It's about $2-3 less than the regular menu. Everything tasted good but we feel that the food could've been slightly hotter. We also got the West Coast fish & chips ($28) off the regular menu and it was pretty good too! This dish came out hot and felt more freshly made. We love the high ceilings and the natural light because of the big windows. The service was nice but not overly attentive as we didn't get any water refills. It wasn't a huge deal to us though!

    Warm scallop and prawn salad
    Amanda R.

    Stopped by Showcase for lunch while in Vancouver. We arrived on a Sunday around 11:45 - they had about 15 minutes left on their breakfast buffet. They seated us, and got us drinks while we waited for the menu to switch over to lunch. The hostess was incredibly kind and friendly - even offering to fill our water bottles for us. We ended up order poutine and the warm scallop and prawn salad. Everything was delish! The poutine is a LARGE portion - great for sharing and the warm salad provided some nutrition for our meal. Definitely worth a stop if in the area.

    Awesome TV's EVERYWHERE!

    What a breath of fresh air! This trendy Gem is located inside the Marriott Pinnacle Harbor Hotel. Awesome BAR area with attentive staff: Alvin in particular was friendly and engaging. I decided to try the Soy Ginger with Spicy Mayo Chicken Wings.. Wow! Beyond belief! I'm a real stickler for good Wings.. These wings were easily in my TOP 5 Category. Right up there with the original Buffalo Chicken Wing Recipe from the Anchor Bar in Buffalo NY My wife raved about the Crab Cakes... Oh yeah, HUGE TV's EVERYWHERE! Sports galore on the TV's all day and night! We shall return!

    The restaurant have a very good location. Easily accessible from outside as it is for hotel guests. Situated inside hotel Mariot already set a bar of excellence for you and so it is maintained well. Food is good and drinks selection is good especially because they are served in specific glassware for Christmas. Couldn't eat a lot of food but two things tried were good.

    Excellent location, great restaurant and yummy food. During our stay in Vancouver, we dined in this restaurant two times. The first time is their holiday special, the Christmas Day brunch and the other is a regular dinner. Both are extraordinarily good. The Christmas Day brunch is very popular. Make sure you make reservation well in advance. We saw a LOT of people for turn away that morning. The food was fresh with a lot of variety (compare with similar level of restaurants in Vancouver, please do not expect the same level as buffet in HK hotel). With raw oyster, sushi, cold seafood, typical brunch food, craving station. Dessert is exceptional. They made the dessert so festive and I end up getting one of everything. The raw oysters are small, but still pretty fresh and tasty. As of the regular dinner, their menu is not huge, but the cooking is still pretty well. We dined with a large party and everyone get different entree and dessert. Everyone was very satisfied with the quality of food that they are served. The whole setup is the restaurant is festive and cozy. The servers are all pleasant and nice. A definitely good choice for dining in downtown Vancouver.

    Mixed Baby Green Salad - highly recommend it.
    Richard H.

    Ate hear several times during the week once for dinner, twice for lunch including their Christmas lunch buffet as well as the Breakfast Buffet. Food was fantastic and service was just as great with a shout out to Lily, Noel and Dwayne who served me during my five night stay here. I used to think the Feenie Smash burger at Cactus Club was great but whoever made my Smash-burger here was definitely a cut above the Cactus Clubs. Components were nicely put together which made for a great taste! I also highly recommend the house salad which I had for dinner one night. Will definitely try to stay here the next time but if not, will stop by for that burger and salad.

    Showcase Restaurant Sunday Date Night Dinner Special This is a 3-course shared menu offered on Sunday nights and it's $49 per person. They also offer 50% off select wines. To be honest, $49 is totally worth the quality and amount of food you get. As a bonus, they had live music. If I had to rank the 3 courses I would say that my favourite was the appetizer, then dessert, then the main course. They are located in the heart of downtown and less than a 5-minute walk from the Olympic Cauldron. After dinner we decided to go for a walk by the water, I'd highly recommend you do the same. Make sure to book your next date night for this Sunday with them. The bar seemed cool and the live music was located right beside the bar. It definitely seemed like a great place to go for a couple of drinks with a friend or colleague.

    We stayed at the Marriott Pinnacle and got in late after a grueling day of flying. No tables free, so we sat at the bar. Bartender couldn't have been nicer or more attentive. He got us drinks and food fast and we were able to finally relax. We were so surprised by the quality of the food. Weren't expecting much from a hotel bar, but everything we had was scrumptious. We had the artisan bread with herbed honey butter, salmon tacos and a Flatbread. The tacos were to die for

There's no unnecessary pretense here; everything revolves around the core theme of "seafood." The open-air oyster bar is the centerpiece, where experienced oyster shuckers process a dazzling array of fresh oysters. You can order a platter of a dozen different varieties, watching them gleam enticingly on the ice. Pair it with a crisp, dry white wine or a local craft beer, and immerse yourself in the most authentic West Coast culinary culture in this vibrant, perhaps even slightly boisterous (as everyone is busy enjoying their food) space. This is more than just a meal; it's a social experience about the ocean, about freshness, and about sharing.

The service is great here and the ambiance is kind of classy. I loved getting to watch the bartender shuck the oysters and grate some fresh horseradish on the plate. It was also really fun that they had a variety of sauces you could put on the oysters ranging from a mild mignonette vinegar and cocktail sauce to spicy hot sauces. The oysters that day were from Fanny Bay, so they were very plump and juicy! The addition of the fresh horseradish on the oysters added a really nice flavor with just a hint of the spicy kick you get from jarred horseradish. I also order the shrimp and lobster sliders, which were very tasty.

Was seated front row to all the action. Watched as the employees shucked the oysters at the oyster bar while enjoying my delicious meal. The ambiance is loud, fun, and open. Service was friendly and helpful. My water was refilled often and the men working the oyster bar had great communication. I ordered the Manila clams and many oysters. Delicious. Amazing. Everything I wanted and blew me away. Presentation was immaculate and taste was phenomenal. Incredible meal that left me smiling the rest of the day. Filling and sooo so delicious. I highly recommend Rodney's and will definitely return when in Vancouver!

    ****Service Animal Discrimination Experience****…read more I'm writing to document a disappointing and unacceptable experience with Blue Water Cafe in Vancouver. Earlier today, we called ahead to request dining accommodations with my certified service dog, trained in the United States by an Assistance Dogs International (ADI)-accredited program -- a certification that is fully recognized under British Columbia's Guide Dog and Service Dog Act. Instead of courteously discussing the request or asking the legally permitted questions, the staff member immediately rejected our reservation, accused us of not having proper documentation, and refused to review or even allow us to present our credentials. This was done over the phone, without any attempt to understand the situation or follow BC's service animal regulations. Under BC law, restaurants must accommodate certified service dogs and may only ask: * whether the dog is required because of a disability, and * what task the dog is trained to perform. Blue Water Cafe did neither. Instead, we were dismissed, spoken to rudely, and denied access based on incorrect assumptions about service dog requirements in British Columbia. For a restaurant of this reputation, this level of misinformation and lack of courtesy is unacceptable. Service dog users deserve dignity, lawful treatment, and basic respect -- not snap judgments, false accusations, or barriers to dining. I hope management addresses this immediately through staff training on BC's Guide Dog and Service Dog Act and implements proper procedures so that other guests with disabilities are not subjected to the same treatment. MARY was very rude she had zero empathy and her tone was very obnoxious as well she had zero patience and her tone was not at all pleasing, she shouldn't be in customer service if she has no skill as to how to calm a situation, she has zero empathy towards us and didn't know how to talk in a manner that people would understand your situation, she just didn't seem to care. Why would someone want to work in a customer facing job if they have no patience to deal with customers. She was beyond rude , no words for Mary indeed! She passed me on to the manager , he was a guy, Kaden or sounds like that name, he was also not very helpful or didn't even try to make the situation a better one knowing it was my birthday, they both definitely have the most horrible customer service we've experienced so far , that day we were also driving back from the Four Seasons hotel in Whistler and they were such beyond lovely when it comes to going above and beyond! They definitely have the gold standard as to how people should be treated! This place is totally a downgrade from what we've experienced at the Four Seasons Hotel. Please don't assume on anyone's service dog. Please don't discriminate your tone towards anyone having a service dog and explaining it to the person properly showing empathy, it would have been a totally different experience and outcome when it comes to my review, because mental health is real.
