Food: 1/3 Service: 1/1 Ambience: 1/1 For me, Time & Place is 3/5 - the waitress was attentive and the ambience was deifnitely what you would expect from a hotel restaurant - kinda quiet and cozy, with tv showing sports if you're dining alone and need entertainment - however let's talk about the food and drinks. For drinks we ordered Sangria, and it had the saddest amount of fruit in it I've ever seen. Other restaurants I've ordered Sangria in have a pitcher or container with lots of fruit to give it flavour. At Time & Place there were 3 super small pieces of strawberry floating around in the drink, and it didn't even taste like Sangria, just wine. For a place that is more upscale (read: more expensive) that is extremely shameful that they are skimping on fruit for their Sangrias like this. As for food - personally I found it to be super bland. Good thing the table came with salt and pepper so I could season my own food, which I will say that after seasoning it myself (a lot) it was actually quite delicious. I had the Miso & Spiced Honey Glazed Black Cod and the fish and vegetables were cooked well. Overall I enjoyed my dish BUT only after seasining it a ton myself, which in a relatively upscale restaursnt such as this I really shouldn't have to. So overall, 3/5. It wasn't terrible, but to be honest I think there are better options in the area for food that I don't need to season myself to enjoy. read more

My fellow yelper Steph accompanied me to the Bite of Burnaby festival to check out Time and Place, which we had both been curious to try for a while. Its tucked away on the 2nd floor and has a nice quiet ambience, not too loud that you can't hear your partner talking so its a great spot for date night. Our server was very friendly and efficient with the food service and she came by a few times to top up waters. Since it was happy hour, we also decided to try their truffle fries and let me tell you..... I don't even like fries, and I LOVED these fries! I don't know if its the batter or how they did it, but they were super crispy, not soggy, flavourful, and the truffle dip was delicious as well. 12/10 for the fries alone! For my 3 course menu, I chose the mussels (excellent, 5/5) beef short rib (tender, 5/5) and key lime pie (crust was a bit soggy, 4/5). Overall the portion sizes were very generous and the food was served at a reasonable pace. I would return for the fries alone! Presentation was beautiful. Happy to have found a new spot for happy hour or a date night :) read more

Friends introduced me to this place. They had been here a few times. Food: 5/5: tasty and fresh food overall. We had a few appetizers including the fried cauliflower bites, 1/2 lb salt and pepper wings ; garlic and pepper wings, calamari and Truffle fries. Truffle fries were my favourite. Everything was tasty and cooked to perfection. We all had dinners that include Caesar salad, seafood pasta and asparagus with Italian sausage pizza. Also decent portions that were delicious. They have a happy hour from 4-6 pm from Monday to Friday. It's 5-6 pm on Saturdays & Sundays. Service: 5/5 - our server was friendly and asked if we needed anything. We didn't feel pressured to leave right away. Ambiance: 4/5 Nice decor. A decent dining venue for all types of meals. The hotel is located on Mackay next to Crystal Mall. It's on the 3rd floor of the hotel. You don't need to be a hotel guest to dine here. read more

I enjoy the Bite of Burnaby food event every year. This time, I decided to participate in the event and found out they offer a CAD 42 three-course menu. The plates look amazing on Instagram. We decided to visit the restaurant located inside the Hilton Metrotown. 3-COURSE MENU - $42.00 Duck Prosciutto Salad Cured duck breast, grilled peach, watermelon radish, arugula, toasted hazelnuts, shaved Pecorino, pomegranate dressing -The duck was very smoky and tender. The pomegranate salad dressing didn't interfere with the taste of the duck, and I appreciated the generous portion of salad. I really enjoyed this dish. Grilled Flat Iron Steak Roasted cauliflower and onion purée, fingerling potatoes, arugula, mixed mushrooms, shiraz demi, fresh thyme -Another great dish. The flat iron steak was very tender but a bit chewy. However, the Shiraz demi was very tasty, and the potatoes were crispy and perfect. Cannoli Trio Pistachio cream, chocolate chip, strawberry mousse -Very delicious. The cream was light and flavorful. The cannoli shell was a bit harder than I expected, but still acceptable. We also ordered calamari, chicken wings, and sliders from the Happy Hour special menu. The calamari was a bit overcooked, but the taste was okay. The chicken wing was crispy and moist inside, and the slider was delicious. Overall, I was very satisfied with the meals. The Bite of Burnaby special was CAD 42.00 for these excellent dishes, which was worth more than I expected. It's a great deal. A notable point was their service--very friendly and attentive. They also offer very good happy hour deals, so I might visit for a happy hour meal and drink next time. read more

The happy hour menu and specials are always a good deal. Place isn't too busy so you could always walk in. The patio is open during the summer which is nice. We've had the platter here several times and it's always been great but the last time the brisket was overcooked & dry! Disappointing. But the Mac & cheese, potato salad and surprisingly... chips were tasty! The sangria is a bit watered down so I don't recommend it. The beer & burger with fries combo for $20 is such a good deal tho! read more

My partner and I tried Time & Place for our first time and tried the "Taste of the West Coast" menu. This limited time menu consisted of 3 spectacular courses. Every course we had was wonderful, but the star of the show for us was the Maple Orange Glazed Duck Breast. This dish consisted of many different components that were executed well and mixed wonderfully. The service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself was very clean, not too loud, and a great spot for a date night out. I'm eager to try out more of their limited menus going on in the future. read more

Had Thanksgiving dinner tonight with family. some of us had the Thanksgiving 3 course meal. The turkey I had was tough and chewy. The Brussels sprouts were burnt. The stuffing was barely edible. The stuffing flavour clashed with the Turkey and other components. The highlight was the carrot soup first course. Very disappointed. Service was very slow. My wife had a fish dish that came with gnoche. She could not eat it because there was too much salt. Some other guests also mentioned the overly salted food. Overall, a disappointing and embarasing experience. I feel that the chef was trying too hard and the flavours clashed. read more

So thankful we stayed at Hilton here and got to enjoy this splendid meal. Do not skip the side options, this green bean side was worth it! Nathan, our server was so welcoming and helpful to our stay. He did a fantastic job multi-tasking and assisting others too. How lucky they are to have him! Wonderful food, hats off to the chef! Thank you Hilton for having such a wonderful spot just an elevator away from us! read more

New year's Eve dinner before countdown here had a nice and quiet vibe. Service was a solid 4.5 stars. Food was a 3.5. They had a dance floor after 9:30pm and a DJ playing some tropical music. The music might have changed later in the night. They used to offer regular menu during this special occasion. This year they offered a 3-course meal with optional wine pairing in this 2023 New Years Eve menu. The price was more expensive than last year while the choices were less. The food was good, yet I would expect a little more at a restaurant inside a 4-star hotel at this price point. My friend and I had very similar taste. We ordered the better option (we think) out of the 3-choice appetizer and 2-choice dessert. The entrée was different. They had beef Wellington, salmon Wellington or a vegan Wellington. - White wine: Gewürztraminer (fruity and aromatic) - Red wine: Pinot noir (acidic and dry) - Seared scallops with califlower puree, pancetta chips, chanterella mushrooms, chives and chive oil - Salmon Wellington - Beef Wellington - Chocolate crunch bar with caramel sauce, toasted hazelnuts, vanilla ice cream and strawberries The presentation and aroma were appealing for the scallops. Season was on point. The scallops, however, were a tag overcooked and on the dry side. But don't get me wrong. They were tasty with the combination of other ingredients on the plate. My salmon Wellington was surprisingly juicy with the flaky pastry. There was a layer of chopped spinach on top of the fillet inside the pastry. The bearnaise sauce complemented the fish. The generous spring mix and fennel salad was very refreshing in some vinegrette dressing. My friend's beef Wellington looked quite appealing. The beef was tender. Gotta dip it in the bordelaise sauce or it might be a bit dry. They gave a ton of seasoned mash potatoes. It was a yummy dish. We both had the chocolate crunch bar for dessert. The main reason for me was the vanilla ice cream on the side, plus I like chocolate. The crunch bar was not too sweet. It was creamy with the texture in between a mousse cake and a brownie. The strawberries were fresh. The toasted hazelnut added another layer of texture to our palates. They accept cash, debit and credit. They have 3 hours of free parking underground from Crystal Mall entrance. read more

Badly prepared food The service is not great either I wouldn't recommend this restaurant read more

Caveat: I had breakfast included in my stay at the Hilton Metrotown as a Diamond member. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the buffet offerings, which had a lot of fresh fruit and vegetable choices along with the standard hotel breakfast fare of eggs, bacon, potatoes, and toast. Aside from the buffet, some of the other ala carte offerings looked good and I saw some other guests enjoying those. All in all a solid value for included breakfast and would love to stay here again because of it. read more

The chicken and seasonal vegetables were really good and surprisingly delicious. Would dine again and order the exact same thing! It had a lot of flavor and very healthy read more

Came here for the Bites of Burnaby $40 menu. First impression walking in was that it was super empty and quiet (but more people came as the evening went on). I was very pleasantly surprised because I had very low expectations for a Hilton restaurant but the meat was very very good. And the portion was waaay bigger than I was expecting. Thank god my bf and I decided not to get 2 bite of Burnaby menus! I saw that they have a pretty good happy hour menu as well. Lastly,service was great! I would definitely come back since there's no good bbq meats around Metrotown. read more

Hidden away in the conference level of the Hilton hotel attached to Crystal mall where your can access 3 hours of free. This space looks like it may have been the catering section of the conferences they worked host pre pandemic as it's quite hidden away with not really any proper signage. The service was really good. Our server was attentive and checked on us several times and food came really fast. We actually came here to try the bites of Burnaby festival menu but decided to try a variety of ales to share and most were pretty good. Lasqueti Island Honey Mussels with chorizo. Mussels were very meaty and was a decent dish but could have had a little more umpf in the sauce Seared Scallops & Candied Salmon Mushroom Ragout - this was not bad if you considered it to be only a scallop and mushroom sauce dish but I thought the candied salmon was out of place here. A little too sweet for the dish and I love candied salmon. Perhaps maybe smoke salmon would be nice? Or smoke trout? Crispy Brussels Sprouts - who didn't love deep fried sprouts?! And they do them well here. A big plate of perfectly crispy sprouts. My favorite of the night. Pound of wings - dill pickle and honey tossed. This looked different and had to dry. Very interesting and tasty flavour combo Duck Confit Poutine - I would hardly call this a poutine. Instead of sweet potatoe fries as expected, it was 3 slices topped with the duck and cheese and gravy. Meh. Truffle fries - these were really yummy!! Made fresh and so crispy. They sure do their fried food. read more

I really wanted to like this place and was excited to come dine here, unfortunately this was probably the worst steaks I've ever had in my life. You can see in the picture how much fat and gristle there was. Besides having very little editable meat to cut through, I wasn't given a steak knife until halfway through my meal. The only good thing about my plate was the fries were good.. the roasted tomato was undercooked and inedible. The broccolini and sauces was just ok. Luckily my bf's lamb shank was cooked perfectly and he said the meat melted off the bone. Portions of the wings were also very small. Won't go out of my way to come back, restaurant tries to be fancy but failed. read more

Went to Time & Place again at Hilton Crystal Mall, this time for Mother's Day. Wow it did not disappoint. HUGE portions, super reasonable prices , great service, lovely ambience with spaced out seating so you don't have to talk over a noisy crowd. Reservations were easy, parking was free. Chicken wings for appetizer was fresh and good - I would try this during happy hour when it's cheaper. Seafood chowder appetizer was so big we swore it was an entree. In fact, we could have eaten that and been full. My mom argued with me about it being the bouillabaisse due to the size. The fries were out of this world. I have not had better fries at Joeys, Cactus or Keg. Or any of the Chains. They were so addictive and crispy and non greasy it was like an elevated version of Costco fries (which you know are DELICIOUS). The steak was bigger than my face. I have a big face. For the same price at Joeys or Cactus you would get 40% less meat. Cut of the steak was fine. They also gave ample amounts of broccolini which made us feel we were having a well rounded meal with veggies. For the price we paid we were satisfied with the steak. My parents are never impressed. By anything. They were impressed with this restaurant. I was shocked. We will definitely be back!! Note their website has correct hours. Yelp for some reason says they are closed on certain days which is not true! Check them out. read more

A delay review here, but just like to express how impress I am of this place! They have specials and platters every now and then prior to the dine-in restrictions and I had the opportunity to catch on their Tomahawk platter offered a while back and it sure made a jaw dropping grand entrance at our table tonight! It was HUUUGGGEEEE! 50oz of meaty goodness and it also comes with a generous amount of crab legs and vegetables. And guess what...this was a platter for 2 for $90!! What a deal! We also ordered some sides and tried out some other dishes to share for our table for 4 and they were just as impressive! Definitely keep an eye out on their menus and hopefully there will be fine in soon so there are more opportunities to enjoy all the specials in their beautifully plated platters! read more

We had a girls night out pre-proposal dinner at this establishment for the Dine Out Menu. Unfortunately, it was very under staffed. All the waiters were very nice but very obviously stressed out and over worked. We were seated at 7pm and it took until 7:30pm to get waters and until 8pm to receive our appetizer. The beef carpaccio was tasty however they forgot the bread on one of the dishes. We ordered 3 mains, 2 beef dishes and 1 scallop risotto. This was our fault for not reading the menu closer, but one of us was keto and could not eat the pasta and ate the limited beef that was on the dish. The beef was more like a soupy beef. It would have been nice if they were willing to replace the dish considering the slow service. They also forgot the scallops in the scallop risotto. They quickly brought out 5 scallops which was nice. The dessert was sub par. They also forgot to bring out the wine pairing for the dessert and then accidentally brought 2 wines out for dinner (and let us keep the extra glass which was nice of them). By the time we left it was 945pm and that isn't because we were chatting... I'm sure the night we dined in was extra busy and perhaps a one off, but we will not be returning to find out. read more

Time & place dine out was amazing! The setting and ambience of the place was amazing! Service was amazing as well! I personally don't like the soup since it was too blend so it needs more taste. The main courses were super amazing to be honest and were super interesting! I personally love the halibut the most from the other two. The dessert was the most amazing on the dineout! It was super perfect and I was super speechless. Nothing needs to be fixed. Totally recommended to try for the dineout. I would come back again to try their non-dineout menus! read more

Very nice place for drink and eat! Service is great! Quiet and Corey place for stay and talk!

I was looking forward to having a great breakfast at this restaurant at the Hilton in Burnaby. Service was good but right away we noticed that we were put in a section with no windows and the chairs were all torn and worn out. It gave it a run down greasy spoon vibe. Not up to any hotel's standards. My friend ordered the skillet which was substantial and good with a good portion of brisket in it. My order of banana French toast was a big miss. The marscapone was barely a thimble full drizzled on it and the same with the caramel. It was a single piece of toast with no candied pecans as described in the menu and it was cold when brought to the table. It was worth, at best, 5 dollars and not the 17 it was. Checked out the breakfast buffet and it did not look like it was even nearly as worth the 29 dollars they were charging. I was pretty disappointed overall. read more

Excellent food and atmosphere. Low and Slow Beef Brisket is mouth watering. Well spaced out for the current pandemic. All staff taking extra precautions, wearing masks etc. Sanitizer on all tables. Will definitely recommend this location to others, and come back again. read more
