Back again and I've removed one star only for the horribly rude hostess we interfaced with tonight. She not only removed our wine glasses immediately upon seating us and said "I assume no wine?" Why would you assume that? lol She gave us major attitude when we politely asked for a high chair for our daughter. Beyond this bad start, our server, the bartender, and food were amazing. Drinks were fantastic. Silk road was citrusy and just tart enough without being too sour. The beef tartare was delicious and the shrimp tempura was perfectly breaded. I also loved the karage, both sauces were refreshing and delightful in their own way. Overall, we had a great night. Please get better hosts! They aren't a good reflection of the overall experience! read more

This is a review of The Victor's Easter Brunch buffet. Their regular buffet is very similar so would generally be the same, but without the somewhat creepy looking Easter Bunny wandering around the place. The greeters were polite and we were seated within a few minutes of our arrival. Within minutes of being sat, our drink orders were taken and off to the buffet line we went. The selection isn't as diverse or abundant as similar buffets in the city, Glowbal in comparison has a far greater number of choices, but the quality here is pretty high. There were salads, sushi, bao bun, omelette, pancake, dessert, breakfast and roast stations. Of particular note was the prime rib roast. Cooked to medium rare, the meat was juicy, succulent, and well seasoned and enhanced by the beef jus that was on offer. The best part was the rib cap, that cut of meat is simply heavenly. Extremely tender, packed with beefiness, it was simply divine with the crust adding a nice burst of flavor. One for the kids, and by the look of things that day, many adults too, was a candy station. Stocked with jars full of peeps, gummies, jellies, lollipops etc etc I think any sweet toothed soul would enjoy this immensely. Slight negatives? The shakshuka seems to have been sat for a while as the eggs were very overcooked and chewy. The bao buns were barely acceptable standard for anyone who has eaten the real thing before. The buffet line starts closing at 2:30pm with everything closed up and gone by 2:45pm or so. With bookings being taken up until 2:00pm that doesn't allow a lot of time to experience the buffet if you're sat much later than 1:30pm. Keep that in mind and you should be fine. Overall? Pricey at $90 for adults and $45 for kids, but Highly Recommended! read more

During my stay at the JW Marriott Parq, I chose to have dinner at The Victor. I arrived right at the start of their dinner service and was immediately welcomed--the host greeted me warmly and escorted me to a window table. The ambiance was cozy and elegant, though reminiscent of a classic steakhouse. My server was attentive and polite, quickly bringing out a complimentary starter. The bread was fluffy, soft, and served warm--absolutely delicious. I restrained myself, saving room for the main course and dessert. For my entrée, I ordered the Filet Mignon with mashed potatoes, paired with a glass of red wine (The Prisoner, "Unshackled"). The dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. To finish, I followed the server's recommendation and tried Menke's Cake. It was a delightful choice and the perfect ending to the meal. Overall, I was very pleased with the experience and would gladly return the next time I'm in Vancouver. read more

First time going to The Victor for Happy Hour as had been here for a previous Birthday dinner. We made a reservation but ended up coming early and they were happy to accommodate us and let us sit in the shady area of the open outdoor patio as we came on a sunny warm Sunday. The view here is semi private surrounded by BC Place Stadium, condo towers, and the open deck with a man made rock island and fountain - cute! We ordered drinks first - a beer and ice tea. No idea what the ice tea cost as it wasn't on the menu but I loved how it was served with a lemon wedge on the side, as it should be. Not sure what brand ice tea here but it was one of the best ice teas I've had as most restaurants ones taste watery with too much ice. To my surprise, they offer free refills and it only cost $3. My boyfriend said it was much cheaper than Cactus, that charges $5. We ordered a bunch of Happy Hour dishes to try - half dozen Fanny Bay oysters, Hamachi in ponzu sauce, Dynamite roll, mushroom aranchini, and wagyu croquettes. The complimentary milk bread came first and it's so soft and warm - great way to start a meal. Next came everything else we ordered. The Fanny Bay oysters were quite small but good enough and a decent price for around $2.30/each. However, I recommend going to Fanny Bay restaurant directly to try their oyster bar for a better experience. Dynamite roll was average but the Hamachi was fresh, tasty, and refreshing. We really liked both the mushroom aranchini and the wagyu coquette as they were tasty, perfectly fried, and not overly oily or heavy. Service here was solid with our server being attentive and our glasses were never empty. Solid spot for a Happy Hour menu if you want to be in a more tucked away quieter location. read more

I have been here 3 times so I am sort of averaging it as i experienced it over 2 years. first time I came for my birthday - the service was lovely at first but the food was underwhelming and our order was essentially "wrong" because the steak came out over done but then the waiter told us at the time because of the thick cut of it, even if we had it remade it would still be the same. It was odd because if that is the case why would you even ask us how we wanted it done? Second time I came to celebrate a friends birthday. We had an assortment of dishes which tasted great but then a glass was dropped by accident near our table and there were glass shards everywhere. Not their fault because hey, things happen but some shards had hit our feet so just ended the evening rather quickly. The most recent time I came for happy hour to welcome a guest visiting our family. The happy hour section is only allowed at the "lounge" but it is weird clunky seating and unsuitable for older diners (their opinion). The server was kind and attentive but the bussers were less kind bringing us our dishes. The food was good enough but still on the pricier side overall. The service is nice but you definitely pay for the prestige of dining there. I think it can be lovely for date night or girls night out but be prepared to pay. read more

The Victor was the perfect restaurant for relaxing and enjoying tasteful food with gorgeous evening views before our concert. As we approached the entrance, I couldn't take my eyes off the color choices they used to decorate which made me want to check out every detail. Like the melted candles, the book stacks etc. You can sit in the restaurant or in the part that opens completely to the outside where there's a pool. Our server Dario assisted us kindly in making our choices of what to try there and we were satisfied. If you like fine dining, artful decorating and relaxing feeling, this place will keep you coming back. read more

We came here for the Spoils of Sunday Brunch Buffet. Oh my goodness...I have never been to a buffet like this one before. They hand you a menu and you're supposed to choose an entree, made to order; on top of that, there's buffet! I ordered a Shakshuka for my entree. It was a regular sized entree. The fact that we had buffet on top of it didn't make the entree any smaller. Holy food coma. My shakshuka came with two eggs on it. One of them was overcooked but the other one had a nice, runny yolk. The buffet selection is smaller than a lot of other buffets. I suppose that has something to do with the made to order entree that they give you. Quality of the food however is for the most part, very good. Highly recommend the brussel sprouts. Our family kept on going back for more and more of the brussel sprouts. (Except for me. I wanted to go back for more but was really too full. Could only handle one serving of everything. Didn't have room for seconds of anything.) Loved the mashed potatoes too and would have gone back for more if I'd had room in my tummy for it. We were celebrating someone's birthday so they brought a piece of cake with a sparkler on it for the birthday person. Always a nice touch! On your way out, there's a candy bar where you help yourself to sweet treats like chocolate bark thins, sours, gummies, and salt water taffy! read more

Came here for the buffet weekend brunch. The Victor is a bit hard to find but it was manageable to navigate. You have to go to the back of the hotel and take the elevator up. The food was decent. I enjoyed the chicken and waffles and Tuna poke. The service was very good but it's on par with other high end hotel restaurants. We never felt rushed even though there was a stated time limit. It was good to experience and I would recommend to try at least once. But I'd only come back for the experience if others wanted to go; I wouldn't initiate it as I didn't feel it was worth it for me. read more

Came here with a friend to try their Dine Out menu. They serve warm cheese & onion bread with whipped butter as a pre-appetizer. Very yummy and we were able to get a free refill. For appetizers, we had the nobu style hamachi and beef tartare. The hamachi was really good. The yuzu ponzu was so good I wanted to slurp it up. Not spicy, but personally, the jalapeno detracted from the flavour of the fish so I took it off. The beef tartare tasted like a cheeseburger lol! I really liked that about it actually. Rich and delicious For the main, I got the peppercorn steak and my friend got the salmon. The steak had a nice sear and the carrots were so sweet and delicious. The sauce was just okay -- the peppercorns were getting to be a bit too much for me. I tried a bit of my friend's salmon and got envious! It was so good, I wish I ordered that instead. For desserts we tried both the chocolate peanut butter crunch cake and the Menke's cake. The chocolate peanut butter crunch cake tasted like some sort of chocolate bar? However, it was Very rich and was getting to be a bit much. The Menke's cake was perfect. Cake itself was nice and light, and the flavours were light and fresh. Really delicious. Overall, had a really good experience BUT.. Note that the servers will ask you what type of water you want.. make sure to ask if it has a cost before ordering... my friend paid $8.50 for water..... Ambiance was fancy and dark. Outside the restaurant is a beautiful pond. read more

We booked Victor Steakhouse during our recent trip to Vancouver, and my now fiance planned to take me there to celebrate our proposal and noted this in our reservation. Despite arriving on time, we were made to wait while empty tables sat unused, then seated in a cramped corner beside a loud table of 20 who clearly mattered more. Service was slow and dismissive. Drinks took a long time to arrive; the server even commented on the delay without apologizing. Our seating became a storage area for another table's boxed takeout, stacked behind my chair so I physically couldn't move it. Meanwhile, staff conducted a full photo shoot for the large "business-class" table behind us, making it obvious exactly who was valued. Food was equally disappointing. The risotto, recommended by the server, arrived as a watery, inedible mess. No one checked in for a long stretch, and when we asked for an alternative menu, it was taken away before we could order. The bill was dropped shortly after, no recovery, no care, just a push to leave. The "special occasion" note was only acknowledged at payment. They did nothing to make our proposal special or even mention it, even though my fiancé reached out to let them know that he was bringing me to dinner to celebrate this evening. The message was unmistakable: if you're not dressed up or part of a flashy group, you're invisible. To cap it off, my fiancé politely said goodbye to the host multiple times while leaving and was blatantly ignored. Cold, careless, and classist. If you're celebrating something meaningful, go elsewhere. read more

@jfoodreviews here If you want to impress a date, or have spectacular service? Do check out The Victor! They have on offer a delicious pre-set menu on Sundays called "The spoils of Sunday" Inclusive for the main is a 12oz prime rib, brussel sprouts, and mash potatoes, and Yorkshire pudding. You have an option for the starter between Caesar salad, Lobster bisque or, Avocado crunchy roll Prices as of sept 2024 $68 for the steak, lobster bisque, and creme brûlée dessert $26 waygu carpaccio The service is absolutely top notch, the constant filling of water, changing of plates, and checking in on you is just the perfect amount. In terms of food, everything is what I expected it to be. Cooked perfectly, and a large portion of food! One subtle comment I have is the steak did not come with a side of horse radish or wasabi. Normally I do like to pair my steak with such to give it a different flavour. I'm fairly certain if you request for it, the host can provide as they have a wet bar serving sushi read more

Absolutely incredible. I've been 4 times and the service and food have been elite each time. Can't recommend it enough!

Review is for drinks only. Bougie interior and with high-end bright and lounge decor. Bartenders are great - professional and very personable. A great place to grab a drink before dinner and their espresso martini is 5 stars! read more

This isn't our first time at Victor's - the previous experiences were always decent with some hit and misses. We tried the dine out menu and the spoils of Sunday menu this time around. I have to say the prime rib is the best I've ever had (and I don't normally care much for it) The meat was flavourful and decadent, I can tell it's a high quality of meat. The sides were fantastic - the brussel sprouts I would definitely order more of next time because they were that good. Our server was attentive and friendly, very efficient with our food and drinks. Other notable items ordered: - MURGELLA BURRATA - delicious, it was so good that I ate it all without taking a picture - lobster bisque - very thick and rich, a bit salty. Good for bread dipping - Peppercorn steak - it was a bit undercooked but still tasty - cotton candy crème brûlée donuts - it tasted like a cream puff with crème brûlée filling. It's not too sweet. Definitely will come back on a Sunday again for the prime rib! read more

I was in Vancouver for business and visited The Parq casino. I decided to dine at The Victor which is situated on the 6th floor. The atmosphere was great, upscale establishment with interior and patio dining. Our server was friendly and efficient. They're so efficient, they might pick up your plate before you're finished dining. I ordered the Hamachi Nobu Style, Tuna Tataki, Shrimp Cocktail and Rib Cap. Hamashi: fresh, not Nobu style - a little thicker sliced and set atop a slightly salty ponzu sauce. Tuna Tataki: Decent. Shrimp Cocktail: Average. Rib Cap: Ordered Medium Rare, received medium, was very tough and difficult to cut. NOTE: They refired the rib cap to replace original order - the second one was well seasoned, cooked to temp specifications but was still a little tough. read more

The 3.5 stars overall rating is not reflective of our experience- ambiance, service, and food. Ambiance is nice and its not loud. Our server was great- patient and very knowledgeable. The quality of the meats are the best we've ever had and we go to a lot of steak restaurants. The waygu A-5, cowboy, and rib-cap are all amazing. The sable (for non-steak eaters) was also tasty and amazing. The only "downside" is that they have poor beer selection. Loved the nigori sake, though! read more

Came back for another Birthday Dinner. We made reservations and came early to sit in the Bar for a drink. Being Thanksgiving, the restaurant was crowded. The Waiter was good although we waited quite a while for the Prime Rib dinner to come out. We selected the "Spoils of Sunday" price fixe meal. My advice is to skip the Crab/Lobster Bisque. NO FLAVOR, barely warm and minuscule amount of seafood. The Milk bread is great. Prime Rib, blackened Brussel Sprouts and Yorkshire pudding were delicious. We had a nice Francis Ford Coppola Cabernet with the meal. Dessert was fun with Cotton Candy over Cream Brûlée donut holes. Overall, we were a little disappointed. It was good but not great like the last time we were here. Not sure if we will be back. When you spend over $200 for a meal, it should be Great! read more

Friends and I went for their brunch buffet. It was $90 per person, which is quite expensive--but we were all down to treat ourselves to a bougie brunch. If oysters aren't your thing, this is probably not worth it. But if they are (like me), they have free flowing raw oysters and oyster motoyaki. I also liked their tuna poke! They have a carving station with prime rib (it was a little tough for me--maybe I had a bad section), sausage, and honeyed ham. The rest of the food is still good, but kind of filler. Examples include har gow, scrambled eggs, fried chicken and waffles, bacon, etc. They also have a candy bar at the front where you can grab what you like into a little cup! I'm writing this in bed now (taking a sick day from work) because I'm pretty sure I got food poisoning from my oyster consumption here (it happens -- I don't blame them). I had 45 oysters during the buffet so I was playing a risky game. read more

Did dinner here. Food is good, not great. Service was excruciatingly slow. We were left on our own for extended periods of time. No checking in on us. No drink orders. Pretty terrible. I made sure to leave a decent tip so the restaurant doesn't respond with a snarky comment about me being cheap and covering up their horrible service and hiding behind that comment. As for the food... we ordered the Free Range Chicken, the Bluefin Tuna Experience, and the Gringo Salmon. The food was admittedly good, no faults there, but not amazing, just up to standard and good quality. If you don't have time to explore Vancouver and want to experience the taste and high standard of the city, this is a good spot. The hummus really doesn't work with the Shishito peppers in my opinion, but it's a matter of taste. read more

We were staying at the JW Marriot and decided to give the Victor a try for New Years! We asked the hotel for a reservation, which definitely was handy since the place was packed! Although this place is quite upscale, since it is part of the hotel, there were people dressed all sorts of ways, so don't worry if you aren't dressed to the nines! That being said, the decor and the PRICES definitely upscale so be prepared for that bill. What we ordered: Salmon Ceviche $17 - quite small for what you pay, comes with a few taro chips and a little bowl of salmon. delicious though! Steak Tartare $22 - tender and well seasoned steak with large pieces of toasty bread! Duo of Quebec Foie Gras $27 - the unique little raspberry sauces and other sauces on the plate definitely made this dish! A must try Oyster Mushroom and Asparagus Risotto $32 - THE BEST dish we ordered! The shaved truffle with the charred vegetables and truffle flavor throughout was amazing! 11/10 Overall, a great experience here from start to finish, just beware of the bill :) read more

We started off with drinks, had some oysters, sushi, and then some petite filet mignon and chared broccolini. The server was also very sweet in that he surprised me with a coconut cream cake with sparklers. Made my night extra special.

This hotel bar is not to be missed. A little stroll across the lobby of the Autograph Douglas on floor six, and an outside 100m stroll pass the Canuck's stadium, and you're here! It's sooo gorg, you immediately feel prettier. I highly recommend the happy hour at the bar. The Pilsner on tap is a Granville Island. Dee-licious! But the show stopper in this pretty place is the cooked sushi salmon on the happy hour menu. The cold sushi is not to be missed either. They are served with tasty Japanese bread, just because.

I came for a drink at the bar and got seated right away. Almost 10 minutes later, a gentlemen gets seated two seats from me and manages to get a greeting and his drink served before any of the bartenders even greeted me. They did also help the obnoxiously drunk lady by me too. There were only 3 of us at the bar with 2 bartenders and we made eye contact several times, yet no hello or acknowledgement whatsoever.

Happy Hour before dinner? Let's GO! Everything looked so good and we limited ourselves to the chef's selection of fresh oyster and their gringo salmon aburi. An amazing start to the meal and I enjoyed their hana (Bombay , St Germain, yuzu and egg white). Next up is dinner and we had their supper club special (Mon-Thurs until 630). For appies, we had their aburi and upgraded to their Quebec foie gras. Definitely worth the upgrade as it was so rich and decadent (although I wished I saved some of their cheese and onion ). Our mains were next and I loved their steak frites. An 8 oz cut of their rib eye "delmonico" which was seared to a perfect medium rare with and super tasty fries. We also had their salmon steak which paired amazingly to their peas and cauliflower purée. Stuffed but there's always room for dessert! Their creme brûlée doughnuts were filled with vanilla custard and because of our anniversary, they went all out. The maple cotton candy with 24k gold, mini macarons and rich chocolate capped off an epic meal. Thank you @thevictorvancouver! read more

2nd time dining at The Victor for dinner. This is absolutely great for a special occasion. The patio area is massive around the outdoor water feature and super classy. I would recommend dressing up. I was so glad I wore a dress and heels and not my usual Vans and jeans. This is a place for a sexy date for sure but we also fit in having a family dinner with my step son. Service is very professional and courteous. Huge wine list. We enjoyed a Washington State Walla Walla Merlot. I started with Maracuya Sour. So so good. If you love passionfruit you won't be disappointed here. Our family loves East Coast oysters so we shared these to start they were exceptional. Following that was the Caesar and beef steak tomato salad. The tomatoes in the salad were so ripe and sweet and mmm thick cut bacon baby... We then shared between three of us the rib cap steak and 6 ounces of the A5 Wagyu striploin. What a delicacy. This is what I would order once a year on my birthday if I could. So tender and meaty. For sides we had the grilled asparagus, charred broccolini, mashed potatoes, peppercorn sauce and of course the mac & cheese waffles must not be missed. It was an epic meal to say the least. The house gifted us Menke's coconut cake We were too full to each much of it but it was lovely to say the least. read more

The Victor is an upscale steakhouse located on the 6th floor of the JW Marriott Parq Vancouver. I was surprised how packed the restaurant was on a Monday night during the pandemic, but there was plenty of space between tables and I felt safe dining here. We were seated at the back of the restaurant on a comfortable velvet couch and we had a nice view of the downtown skyline from our table. We came here for Dine Out. It was $49 per person + $50 to upgrade to a 28oz porterhouse steak + we added a $60 bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon from California. My partner and I shared our 3-course meal: Victor's cheese & onion bread (complimentary) avocado aburi lobster & crab bisque 28oz USDA prime porterhouse steak creme brûlée donuts with cotton candy Valhrona dark chocolate tart We normally don't care for complimentary bread, but we demolished this one. We enjoyed the appies, but my sushi kept falling apart. I'm glad we upgraded to the porterhouse. We asked for medium rare, but more on the rare side and it was perfectly cooked and came with fries, salad and gravy. I would come back just for the creme brûlée donuts. They had vanilla custard inside and came with cotton candy sprinkled with edible gold. It was pricey for Dine Out, but everything from the ambiance, food and service was great. Surendra was an excellent server and was very attentive throughout dinner. Would definitely recommend The Victor for date night, it's such a romantic spot. read more
