    Prawns

    A very happening rooftop patio where a lot of business lunches seem to be happening. Have a DJ and a very dark elevator to get to the roof. Food is of a good portion and in line with what you would expect from the glowbal group-- it's decent, but not mindblowing. Service was pretty good. Happy hour menu no longer has the truffle fries like online.

    Happy Hour Menu

    We ordered the following Happy Hour items: Steak House Nachos: House spiced potato chips, bacon, cheddar, jalapeño, habanero crema, steak chili Quattro Formaggio flatbread: Pesto, Fior di latte, goat cheese, brie, fontina, pinenuts Phyllo Prawns Kataifi wrapped prawns, watercress cream What a great meal the 2 of us enjoyed. It was more than enough food. In fact, we only ate 2 slices of the flatbread and took the rest back to our Airbnb. We asked for a bag and they gave us a really cute sturdy cloth bag. The ambience is gorgeous and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend coming here, especially, during happy hour!

    Wonderful brunch experience. The food was fantastic--the B+B benny was exceptional and perfectly cooked. It was a perfect poached egg. Service was fantastic--attentive and friendly. Marco is the best. Really reasonable prices. A real hidden gem brunch.

    The ambience of this place is absolute freaking marvellous. The server was absolutely lovely with great energy and vibe. Food was delicious exactly what you want from a steak restaurant. It's cute and somewhat cozy depending where you are seated. If you are going on a date and want to impress, this would be THE spot!!!!

    I have been to Black + Blue and The Roof many times. Its design and decor are very classy and modern with a slight great gatsby vintage influence. We were here at The Roof for Happy Hour recently and it was great. Drinks and food were all delicious. We didn't have a reservation but were lucky and able to get a table, so I recommend making a reso before, if you can.

    It's our first time here and we came here for the dine out vancouver festival . Lydia , our server was very nice and warm , the food was excellent . And also the manager who went from table to table to welcome and check on their guests . The Roof is the Black and Blue casual dining but we felf like it was a fine dining . Overall an excellent dining experience

    We came for happy hour to the roof on a Thursday. Most of the tables were full but we were able to get a spot. I always love the view up at the Roof because you can see the Fairmont from there. We ordered the Wagyu beef carpaccio, the ahi tuna tartare and the oysters. For cocktails we got the sangria and Prosecco. The Wagyu beef carpaccio was lacking in beef flavour. It was cut a little too thin for me to pick up (just a snag). The tuna tartare was not bad. Very fresh tasting and I liked the addition of the pineapple. The chip went perfectly with the tuna tartare. The oysters were pretty standard. The sangria was delicious as usual. Overall for happy hour they have a pretty big menu compared to other restaurants. They have a wide variety and the portions are pretty big. The service was super friendly and helpful when it comes to making decisions on the menu. This is the place to be if you are looking for a snack and drinks with friends and a nice location but not for food

    Stopped by for brunch with some friends on Saturday afternoon. We were greeted by friendly faces and took the elevator up to The Roof. Unfortunately, the weather was gloomy and drizzly, so we didn't get to experience the patio without the roof, but it was decorated beautifully nonetheless! Our highlight was the calamari - it was cooked and fried so perfectly. The bites were soft all the way through, no rubbery texture at all. The flatbread was also decadent, but I did kind of wish it had some kind of hot honey drizzle, however that is my personal preference. The mussels were also delicious with its slightly spicy kick, and the bread it was served with was perfectly crisp, while light on the inside. Surprisingly, the beet salad was the most underwhelming of the appetizers. I didn't have the oysters myself, but my friends seemingly enjoyed them. My main was the Ahi Tuna, as pictured. The serving size was generous, however I would say it was a bit underseasoned for my liking. Perhaps because the cut is quite thick, it would benefit from a bit more in seasoning to ensure each bite feels catered to. I tried to have it with the drizzled sauce, but it was not *quite* enough. We also had a bottle of Riesling at the table. Our server was really kind and attentive, and stopped by periodically to ensure our glasses were filled. My friends had the Negroni and Passionfruit Margarita, which they both quite enjoyed, but will set you back ~$18-19/drink as fine dining does. They're also quite stiff at 2-2.5oz/drink! I would definitely like to come back and check out their Happy Hour in the future.

    My boyfriend surprised me for my birthday and brought me here. He said dress fancy and I'll blindly lead you to dinner. He had me put Burrard street on the GPS and when we walked in, he turned to the ladies behind the desk and said "the reservation at 8 for the roof please." They pointed to take the elevator and we walked in. I walked in confused and taking everything in. Then the hostess sat us down and introduced us to our waitress, Rachel. She was lovely and recommended some really amazing things! For our meat we had rib eye, Mac and cheese stick and more!! It was delicious! I was surprised at how well marinated the meat was!! Also let's not forget the drinks!!! If you live for alcohol, then I'd highly recommend it!!! It's a good compliment to the meal!! Also had the butter cake and chocolate ecstasy for dessert!!! I'm in love!!! Thank you Black and blue!! Also thank you to Rachel! We love this place!!!

    Steak, Brussels sprouts, fries

    It's been a while I've been to the Rood for dinner. (I honestly prefer their happy hr) - side note, it's cheaper to get the fried Mac & cheese sticks from the regular menu vs the HH menu. Also the HH food downstairs was better than the food we got at the Roof. Tuna tartare was good, but the potatoes seemed a little stale so we asked for another batch which was much crispier. The mussels weren't good at all. Fishy. They said maybe it was due to the sauce and where the mussels were from, but we could not eat it so we had to send it back and they were very understanding. Steak, ribeye, ordered med rare ish but was very chewy. I know we are supposed to order ribeyes mor medium to render the fat, but still thought it was pretty chewy. Flatbread was nice and had a bit of a kick to it. Shoutout to our server though, I wish I remembered her name, for being super understanding.

    Excellent rooftop very busy place. If you would like a quieter dinning experience I would recommend to sit inside , low light setting and cozy environment. Excellent choices of beef cuts!!!

Now you can take treats to go however you can gather your thoughts or rest your feet cause plenty of tables & chairs for you to lounge around on. I'm at a counter spot today but yesterday I captured a small table in the window. Fun for watching ladies strut around while sipping my coffee.. Anyways you get the drift.

    I've passed Tokyo Katsu-Sand so many times when I'm on the Granville Mall downtown…read more Never really gave it any attention until I saw an IG post from an influencer who was visiting Vancouver from out of town. https://youtu.be/GDP_uBsvH6g She highly recommended the fish sandwich or Fish-Katsu. Gosh it absolutely did not disappoint & I should have ordered another one! The taste of this sandwich was so delicious, I couldn't chew it fast enough. The cabbage, tartar sauce & fish-katsu sauce are delightful together. This food truck is located right at Canada Line subway station - Vancouver Centre Station - main entrance on Georgia at Granville. You'll notice it when you come up the escalator & turn right onto the Granville Mall. Basically it's right near Nordstrom. I don't know if I'll bother with the other sandwich options cause I just love the Fish-Katsu that much. It's a very small simple sandwich. Nothing really fancy to it at all, but the taste utterly rocks. So glad I tried it & I can't wait to go back!

I got the gyu-katsu sandwich. I found the sandwich a bit small and for the price, it was pretty expensive. $16 after tax. Don't get me wrong. It was tasty. I found it nothing wow. The beef was cut in a certain way that it remained as one piece to make it easier to season. The gyu katsu is their more popular sandwich. However, it doesn't come with any lettuce or anything other than the beef and sauce. The bread was nothing special. It was basically thin regular bread. It does take them about 10 mins to make the sandwich. In terms of the way they serve it, it was presented to me nicely and the box was made to perfectly fit the sando inside. Not a bad sandwich but it was just pretty pricy.
