    Great place in the hood. They have a decent bourbon selection as well. At happy hour, they have well priced wine pours and yummy snacks, such as a cheese board and potato croquettes. In the evening they have standard pub fare. I've had their veggie burger many times, usually to go to the beach. They have great fries. It's not fast food, but it does come quickly. The servers will adapt for you for veggie diets. It's one of the nicer little pubs in the area, with an awesome terrace in the summer. I'm happy this is here!

    Bbq ribs + mussels

    Came here for a week night date night. Cute spot. We had the ribs. The fries was great, and really enjoyed the house made ketchup. Of course we had some wings. We went for the Thai wings. Scrumptious and crispy. Finished the night off with the classic chocolate fondant. Satisfying! Our server was amazing.

    Decent burger and fries. The rib steak on top of the burger was a little dry but the burger patty itself was nice and juicy. I would probably opt for a regular burger instead of the rib burger. Also, mayo was extra charge which is the first time that's happened to me. I only saw it on the bill after. Not a big deal but seems kind of stingy.

    Happy hour. Nice patio with shades. Easy music. Good drinks. Parking can be difficult.

    Buffalo chicken sandwich
    Barry W.

    I'm reviewing the food, as I'm not a drinker. My friends who are enjoyed the selection of beers. I had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with a side salad. The salad was better than expected -- quality ingredients (arugula, goat cheese, dried cranberries, and pumpkin seeds) and in a reasonable portion. Worth taking over the fries (and I don't say something like that very often). The sandwich was only okay. It was well-executed, but I would have appreciated a slightly larger piece of chicken (it seemed a little small to me for $16). Also, it was NOT spicy to my pallet, which was mildly (pun intended) disappointing. The vibe inside the restaurant was chill, and our server was wonderfully attentive. We parked for free on the street several blocks away. I'd probably give 3.5 stars if that were an option; 4 for food quality, venue, and service, 3 for not quite enough meat on the sandwich (a big deal to me). Bottom line: I'd go back here with friends who want a good selection of beers; it's certainly pleasant. But if I were only going out to eat, I might look elsewhere, as the non-handheld options were... pricey for my budget.

    This was a decent joint. I went for the first time and the service was good for the most part. The location was not in a busy area, but it was a good place to hangout as a pub. I tried the bison burger and my partner had a chicken burger. They both came with kennebec fries, which were not my favourite as they were thick cut. Nonetheless, they were fresh. The bison burger was alright. The wild boar bacon made it seem appealing, but they should have probably cut out the processed jalapeno cheese sauce as it wasn't appetizing. I would maybe come back for drinks and happy hour, but it wouldn't be my first pick.

    GF avocado toast and eggs

    Had a wonderful brunch at The Ellis. We came at 11:30am on Saturday and it was pretty quiet, had the choice of our seats. We ordered the bacon eggs benny and I asked for avocado toast on gluten free bread with eggs over medium. My husband also ordered the beignets for dessert afterwards. My husband is very picky with his eggs benny and he said this was one of the best! The eggs were poached perfectly, the bacon is organic and thick and the crispy potatoes were perfectly cooked. My avocado toast was good, nothing extra special I can comment on, but I was very grateful that they had gluten free bread for me. My hubby liked the beignets, nice and fluffy and warm. The drip coffee was nice and strong and our waitress was always around topping it up along with our waters. I would definitely come down here for brunch again! And try the French toast with corn flakes!!!

    Dine out menu. Beet salad and shrimp ceviche

    Tried out The Ellis during Dine Out Vancouver and really enjoyed every dish that was served. They have a good balance of flavours. My favourite was the grilled octopus as it was surprisingly tender and flavourful and fresh. Their pavlova is also surprisingly good. It was really soft and yet crunchy. Most annoying thing is when it's hard to break it apart and eat it but definitely did not have that issue here at the Ellis.

    A bit hidden away in Kitsilano, we visited The Ellis for brunch on a weekend. First the positives: The service was prompt and friendly, and the decor was very nice. Love the blue & copper color scheme. Their fries and salad were really tasty. Fries were well seasoned, and the salad packed some nice flavors. Now onto the.. hit and miss part. The Chorizo Hash was supposed to come with soft boiled eggs that would be runny. When we opened them up, the eggs were quite well done. The Chorizos themselves were tasty though. We also tried the Ellis Burger, and the patty itself was really bland. Reading some other reviews, it was brought up before. Hopefully they will make some adjustments there. Our burger also came with a an unmelted slice of cheese, which was a bit odd. In the end, it's a really nice spot in Kits. With brunch being so popular in Vancouver, it's nice to be able to find a place on the west side that didn't require a lineup. Their food was just a bit inconsistent, but maybe it was an off day for the kitchen. We will have to give it another shot in the future to see if that's the case.

    First time at The Ellis on July 20th 2020. It was to celebrate a good friend's 60th birthday. The venue was perfect for a summer evening celebration. Good outdoor patio, good food and even better service. Both Joe and Michael were both accommodating and pleasant to deal with. I now know why our friends go there just about weekly. I would be going again in the future.

    Crispy cauliflower

    Early dinner before heading off to a Whitecaps soccer game. Service is great and food is excellent. We had smoked chicken with gnocchi and crispy cauliflower. Would visit this place again

    Chicken and frosted flakes french toast ... who needs waffles! Crispy, crunchy, and indulgent
    Soleil S.

    The start of our Vancouver trip was kicked off at this little Kitsilano spot for Saturday brunch. I have to say this quiet little spot almost feels like a hidden secret as the places on Cornwall and 4th Ave are packed. Here, you're close to the beach with easier parking and no wait. When we arrived on a Saturday noon, their patio was maybe only half filled and the bar was filling up to watch the World Cup on their big screens. The spot is definitely on the industrial rustic trend with it's use of big planks of wood, exposed unpolished raw metal details, and the usual Einstein bulbs. It is a pretty big spot and the tables are nicely spread out. Even if all the tables were taken, there is zero concerns about hitting another table or overhearing their conversation. There was maybe only 4 other tables with us that day and service was friendly and solid. We didnt experience any of the poor service mentioned in other reviews but we also didnt do a dinner. Their menu is their take on comfort food but with a focus on being locally sourced. So no fake syrups (its real maple syrup) and their eggs are supposed to be free run. It takes all the classic brunch dishes but just does a bit of a twist on it... French Toast gets crusted in Frosted Flake for a sweet crunch addition and then topped with hot crispy chicken. Who needs Chicken and Waffles when you can take it further it Frosted Flake French Toast. Greens n Grains - A nice light salad that was filled a lot of great vegetables and tons of goat cheese to add a tangy note and a creamy bite. The addition of the grains kept me decently full before heading over to a nearby spot to grab a doughnut. For all those wanting to keep it light or looking more of a vegetarian offering, this would be a great dish. Nicely dressed with a sesame vinaigrette and offering pops of flavour from the goat cheese, fresh peas, and candied pecans... this is a solid salad. 4/5 Fried Chicken on Frosted Flake French Toast - Going to admit that this is just over the top... food coma ready? The fried chicken was a healthy helping that was hot and crispy. A solid fried chicken as it wasn't dried out and seasoned well. You can dip it in the chicken gravy for an extra burst of salt and chicken flavour or go all out and drown it in the maple syrup. As for the french toast, you get 4 good sized pieces that had that extra sweet crunch of the cereal. The custard did soak the bread nicely. I think you didnt really need to add the maple syrup for extra flavour but who can say no to maple syrup. Not this Canadian. 4/5 Solid low key spot with good dishes and easy going staff to give you a nice start to the weekend of good eating. I would recommend giving their brunch a chance and avoid the line ups we saw on 4th street.

    The deep fried pickles were terrible. Very hard, inedible batter

We sat indoors with the option to be seated outdoors with heated lamps but we didn't want to smell the smoke from people smoking outside. We ordered the Dark Spell Latte, Albedo Spritz, and Final Word. The Dark Spell Latte is like an espresso martini with chocolate syrup added, which is pretty solid. The Albedo Spritz is a red wine cocktail with hard liquor, and stood out to me as they had 5oz of alcohol so this was fairly strong, but I would imagine most of the ounces came from the wine itself. I liked the gold dusted blackberry. The Final Word is fruity and smoky, which I enjoyed, but not warrant a hefty price tag compared to the other drinks. Service is decent and in line with other restaurant bars. Overall, solid drinks at okay prices that I can see myself recommending this spot.

Our waiter described each dish and the chef came to out to meet and asked if we have any allergies or specific foods that needed to be omitted.

Loved the snap from the shrimp but wish there was more of it dispersed throughout the dish. Definitely get this dish Crab satay ($19) - this dish was weird... The crab was misled by the flavour of the peanut sauce and it just didn't work well together as a dish. Each component was fine on its own but nothing worked together. The cabbage salad felt like just an afterthough. Would not recommend. Sweet and sour pork belly ($16) - this dish was also interesting - it felt more like just a crispy pork belly. That's it. The sweet and sour sauce felt non- existent. There needed to be another punch in this dish to make it more complete. Wouldn't recommend Sea bass ($37) - this dish was great. Loved the texture of the sea bass. The potato gnocchi was a nice touch and that Goan curry sauce went really well with everything. Wouldn't order again Beef Kad Pra kao ($29) - this was another miss. The beef wasnt chewy but it lacked flavour. It needed more basil in it to bring out the flavour. Nothing about this dish impressed. Wouldn't order again Dubai chocolate bar ($17) - absolutely delicious. Loved the crispness of the chocolate crumb offset by the softness of the dense pistachio creme and the chocolate ganache. The little bits of the rose petals gave it that essence that it needed. It wasn't overly sweet. Would get this again Overall quite a few missed and some great dishes. The serving sizes are appropriate for the price. The service was great and not overbearing. Definitely try the steamed bun, the sea bass and the Dubai chocolate bar. My biggest issue with the dishes were that the garnished were almost the same for every dish. I understand it's for the pop of colour but it was so repetitive and didn't add any value to the fish other than the pop of colour (the green shoots and the red radish). I had the spiced Guatemalan carajillo it was pretty smooth and not too sweet. I would want to try their other drinks as they have quite an extensive menu.

When the reservation was made a question was asked of an event for the dinner out. A 60th birthday was mentioned, acknowledged, and when sat by our server and nothing further. To be fair K would rather it all go by unannounced, but when it's all over the paperwork a small recognition should be there. The space itself, is not on a rooftop at all, but it's a beautiful high ceilings restaurant that deserves a far better kitchen. Our price fixe menu for two at $155 or so was definitely not worth the price at all. The steak was uniformly medium when med rare was the ask. There was a tiny bit of medium rare at one end, but the vast majority was medium or more. The torch of the butter on the steak, looked good from afar prior to our serving, but right in front of you looks almost comical. Our breakfasts were average at best, again service was ok, but the food was not where it should be, in fact not even close. We'd ponder staying at the hotel again due to location, but we'd not eat here.
