Excellent service, food and location! I've been here a few times. Dressed up and casual and always treated like a queen. They have a great dining room with several different options of experience. The lively bar, intimate dining room and/or the action paced kitchen bar. *We ordered the halibut, tenderloin, risotto, tuna crudo and beautifully crafted cocktails and wines. *The staff here know how to make you feel appreciated! Love this place- HIGHLY RECOMMEND- can't wait to go back!! read more

This review is for the Taste of Yaletown 2015. Reservations can be made from OpenTable. They called to confirm my reservation the day before. Upon arrival, I was already impressed by the ambience. It's clearly a trendy place. At 6 pm it was already nearly full. My friend and I were seated in a slightly cramped table for 2 but I had the sofa bench so there was still space for our personal items. We both started with the roasted sablefish on couscous. For an appetizer, this was a generous portion. The couscous was not that memorable but the sablefish was very good. We also ordered a side of their triple cooked fries to share with our appetizers. These were freshly fried, still hot, crunchy outside and soft inside. It came with ketchup as well as a mayo dip. For my entree, I chose the braised lamb shank. This was a huge portion - one giant piece of lamb on top of a few house made gnocchi and some Swiss chard. It was too much meat for me but very good still. My friend got the Fraser valley duck breast. They were generously sliced with a side of spätzle and carrots. She didn't like spätzle so I ate most of that, and I thought it was tasty. We both finished the meal with the flourless chocolate cake. This was nicely plated and had multiple components. It was a not-too-heavy end to our meal. Service was prompt and efficient. The waitress made a point to ask how the food was tasting during each course. Water was refilled periodically. I think that West Oak had one of the better menus available during the Taste of Yaletown, and I think that it was a very good value too. My friend and I were both stuffed. I saw the table next to us get a giant tomahawk meat plate to share - hoping I can come back for that one day :) read more

the start of julia's bday celebrations lol. it coincided with easter long weekend this year so hey why not. meet up with m, who i haven't seen for a while. she gets sick way too easily. anywhos, dinner at west oak because i haven't been nor has she. we were seated right away because we made reservations and i checked my coat in. we were seated at an awk spot - basically right beside the speakers. i sat on the couch side and while the couch was super comfy, it was rly low and didn't rly have support so take note. other than that, our server was super attentive and came around with water. i ordered one of my favs - g&t. this was a lavender rosemary g&t using one of my fav local gins - the victoria empress gin. the one that changes colour once you add something acidic to it. m doesn't drink so she ordered a mocktail, which was delicious as well since i took a sip. we ordered an appy to share and mains. for the appy, we ordered the mussels frites. tbh i like chambar's mussels more. not to say that these were bad but just my opinion. but i do like west oak's fries! our server gave us some extra bread to finish the mussel sauce with. the sauce was a very tomato based one with sun dried tomatoes in it. there was supposed to be pesto as well but it got overpowered by the tomatoes. next up - the mains. i ordered the lobster linguine, which was also tomato-based. different sauce that the mussels one as i saw cherry tomatoes in my sauce. there was a good amount of lobster meat and a decent portion of linguine as well. you also get two pieces of bread to soak the sauce. fresh pepper and parmesan was a nice touch. m ordered the truffle mushroom risotto and she added chicken with it. the risotto itself was a bit undercooked but the truffle and mushrooms definitely added an oomph to the dish. overall it was good - m said the chicken was kind bland. solid restaurant and our server was super nice and charming throughout so that definitely helps! bday dinner #1 read more

I had a high expectation on this restaurant as it is quite popular in Yaletown. I came here with friends for brunch on New Year's Day. We reserved a table on Open Table. It was quite convenient. We got our table right away plus the restaurant was not too busy. Our server handed out menus to us. She started to ask what we would like to order for drinks and what we wanted to start with. A few of the ladies at my table were Chinese and they liked to have a cup of hot water with lemon. The rest of us only wanted to drink water. The feeling that the server gave to me was like "Really? That's all you want for drinks." We placed our orders one by one. After all, the server asked if we would like to have ketchup. We were guessing the ketchup must be for our brunch. We said sure lets have some, but the reaction of the server was like "How many of you would like to have ketchup?" We all wanted some. In the end, she gave us three small containers of ketchup to share. It was just weird when I looked at the reactions of the server. It was just a simple question and answer but why did the server feel so ambiguous on having ketchup and looking at us? We had been waiting for our food for a long time. We saw there were two bigger tables with more than 16 people. Probably the chefs were busy taking care of so many orders but the restaurant was not full. The service was just really slow. Some busy restaurants have more than customers but they can still be quick enough to cook the food and serve the customers. The food finally arrived. The food only tasted average. It was not as well as I expected. Many other western restaurants out there which offer brunch have better food and quality than this restaurant in Yaletown. Some of the potatoes in each of our dishes were overcooked that they were either too dry or turned to black charcoal colour. That did not look healthy or the presentation of the potatoes did not look good. Due to the location of this restaurant, the price must be more expensive but I didn't think I was eating good quality food. I was only paying for the ambiance overall. I may not visit this restaurant again unless I really have to. read more

Very pleasantly surprised by West Oak. A lot of Yaletown restaurants offer average food at absurdly inflated prices, even at lunch, but not so with West Oak. I went there for lunch with some coworkers and got a big portion of tasty, saucy, slightly spicy spaghetti Bolognese for only $12. I was also drawn in by their $7 soup of the day, a hot chili. This wasn't the kind of thick chili I usually like, but chili soup is still good, and honestly at $7 for a huge bowl it also felt like a full meal all on its own. It could have used a bit more spicy heat and a few more beans, but otherwise I loved it. So I left feeling very, very full - either one of the individual dishes would have been a great lunch on their own, and the fact that they're available for $7 or $12 is a huge plus. If you're looking for lunch in Yaletown, give this place a shot - your wallet, stomach, and taste buds will all thank you. read more

Probably my new favourite brunch place but they did this really weird thing that i couldn't overlook. I went for some birthdays twice with friends and the food was very tasty (i had chicken and waffles once and the breakfast burger another time). Both times the waiters came out with a surprise of their fresh cookies with a candle. We were all so thrilled thinking we just got this complimentary dessert for the birthday but when we went to pay the bill, the cookies were on our bill! While we did appreciate the nice gesture, its weird that they would bring it o our table making it seem like a gift but then charge us for it after. Overall great food and vibe, i just dont know if I would do a birthday there again read more

My mom and I decided to come here the other day to get some good Happy Hour deals and eats. When we got there, the lady told us the only available seats were outside on their new renovated patio. I looked around and the inside of the restaurant was empty minus a couple seats.. I didn't say anything, I just thought that there must be lots of reservations. I asked if their patio was warm as my mom and I are both super cold people and the waitress reassured that it is super warm and cozy. Warm and cozy were not words to describe the patio. It was more on the chilly side and dead silent as there was no music at all. There was another couple outside and it was so quiet that I could heard their entire conversation clearly even though they were on the other side. They were also wearing their jackets. Neverless, we were both super hungry and excited to eat. We ordered: - Their "famous" Chino Prawns $9 (HH menu) - Mussels and fries $10 (HH menu) - Crispy calamari $9 (HH menu) - Roasted Salmon $25 (main dinner menu) Honestly, I felt the food was nothing more than average. Both the prawns and mussels were just soaked in sauce. The mussels were tiny and felt sand left in them. The "crispy" calamari wasn't crispy. And the salmon entree definitely needed more flavour. Even my mom who likes more plain food also said that the salmon was lacking flavour. On top of that, our waitress looked so unpleased to be working. She kept rushing us and asking if we were done when we still had a full table. I totally get people have bad days but it was completely rubbing off on us. I even heard the table beside us whisper comments to each other how they are so glad they didn't have our waitress as she looked and sounded miserable. I wanted to say something but my mom just wanted to leave as soon as possible and honestly didn't feel like talking to the waitress any longer. When we were leaving, I couldn't help to notice the all the empty tables.. So much for being full. Super bummed as I really love Happy Hour hopping but this is not a place I'll be returning :( read more

The atmosphere is good. We ordered a few drinks and had dessert, I would go back again for both. The cookies tastes fresh out of the oven, so warm and soft. The server was a bit on the slow side, not sure if it was more towards the end of the night; he also made a few comments that made us feel uncomfortable. we asked for a glass of milk and he offered his breast milk....‍Other than the server I would come back earlier in the day to try a main meal read more

With the small, unassuming door, it is a pleasant surprise to come in to a warm, chic place. It definitely looks roomier than it actually is. Really nice that they have several items for their happy hour (3 - 6pm). The star was the chinois prawns. Prawns were lightly breaded then fried, then smothered in this mayo with chili oil, topped with walnuts. Really yummy. Would definitely order it again. The mussels were spot on. The fries that came with mussels were unfortunately over-fried. It's not golden-brown but more like darker brown and dry. The meatballs were just meh and when it came out, it wasn't hot hot. Just warm. Nice ambience. Definitely a great place for a nice dinner. Would come back and try their other menu items. read more

And I asked for no Asparagus which they decided to add anyway. Disheartened costumer read more

Weekend brunch at the West Oak: We ordered the mussels and fries to start. Generous portion of mussels with a very tasty and tangy boil. Highlight of this dish is definitely the triple cooked fries! Not the most healthy option , but it was crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, almost like mash potatoes! For the main I ordered the frittata with tomatoes, basil pesto, and topped with arugula and balsamic reduction. This dish also came with toasted baguettes and potato hash. Honestly speaking, there wasn't anything exciting about this dish except the basil pesto that was cooked with the egg, which helped tone down the onions in this dish. The baguettes were a little tough and hard to chew, and the potato hash lacked flavour. I would recommend substituting the hash for fries if possible. My partner ordered the lobster benny and he also experienced a tough muffin that took a lot of muscle to cut through! Overall, beautiful venue with its exposed brick walls and design. Staff is great and very charming. However, I might give this place a shot again with its lunch or dinner menu instead as it looks more promising! read more

What a gem for lunch! The $12 menu is impressive!! Mussels, lobster linguine or seared tuna burger anyone? Who can resist triple cooked fries, delicious! I asked for a side of mayo and was given the tasty house made truffle mayo. What a meal for bargain lunch price!! They also have an enticing brunch menu and the ambiance is warm, modern and intimate. The food is very good and well worth a visit. A winner overall, we'll certainly be back. read more

I was surprised that this resto had no authentic reviews from my fellow Yelpers--until I reviewed the location: YT. Yt is just not what it once was, sadly, and if you're over the age of 25 or bored by the whole Global group, this place is not for you. (In truth, it's not part of Global, but the next restaurant to emerge after the overrated, now defunct, 100 Nights and part of the Opus Hotel.) Since J.Kimmel spent his bachelor w/end here, (he's friends with the manager) I thought that I'd check it out. That should have been my first clue; all of the female servers (and guests) were young and quite attractive, and I could see how a group of LA or...Burnaby...type of dudes would appreciate dining here. The place was nice enough but a standard YT restaurant. It offered a variety of wines and drinks and some substantial meals. We tried the crabcakes ($14) with arugula. Sadly, when brought to our table, they bordered on cold and were served with ordinary greens. Although we didn't specifically ask for new ones, they offered us a replacement immediately when we told them about the food temp. and salad error. The crabcakes were tiny but free from filler and quite tasty. I would recommend in spite of the price. We also tried the triple fried fries that were on the thicker cut and resembled kennebec fries although not specifically stated as such. They were really, really, delicious but again on the smaller side, even for a side. The service was friendly until we wanted our cheque, at which time our server was too busy; this was quite odd since the place was 1/2 empty. But everyone was nice, in spite of the fact that we weren't a table of young girls. Sure, we didn't get the extra drinks or special treatment, but all in all, it was fine. At the end of the day, it was like any other YT place. If you're into that + good food--this is the place for you. If you'd like somewhere warm, hip, cool and fun, I'd suggest getting out of YT. There are just so many cooler places in the city offering more interesting food and decor, but of course, even the banality in the name doesn't lead you to believe otherwise. 3.5 stars. read more

Came here for happy hour and ordered: - chinois prawns - crispy calamari - beef tostatas - mussel & fries - rose sangria A great value with good flavours. Unfortunately, the calamari came out cold and the mussels were undercooked. However, I'm giving a 3/5 mostly because of the service. The waiter kept coming by to take away our dishes as quickly as possible. At one point he took a dish with food still on it then asked that we pick it off on to our plate. He came around 3-4 times to ask if we were done eating while there was half the mussels left. Finally a gentleman asked if we could move to the bar as a reservation has been waiting for their table for some time (we were probably there for 1.5 hours and ordered another round of sangrias within the past 10 minutes). I would have appreciated if they were up front from the beginning instead of trying to seem "subtle" with urging us out. We too made reservations and if there was a time limit they should have notified us when we were seated. read more

Great atmosphere, great service, and mediocre food. West Oak is located within walking distance from Yaletown station. Patio seating available. Complementary mimosa during brunch hours. Our server was amazing and attentive throughout. Salmon Benedict was good but nothing about it stands out. Average pricing for brunch - but the menu seemed pretty standard and few selection. Would probably come again next time to try dinner menu. read more

Weekend Brunch. Good food. Great covered patio with heating lamps. Unfortunately they ran out of gluten free bread that day but they have several gluten-less breakfast options. Menu: The menu didn't have any stand out or exotic brunch dishes. I ordered the frittata without cheese. It was topped with arugula and came with a side of potato hash. The potatoes were good but could have used more herbs and spices. The frittata had cherry tomatoes baked in which were super juicy and delicious Service: They were understaffed that day but the service was good. Venue: In the heart of yaletown. The inside is dark, cozy and seems perfect for an intimate dinner. The was patio great for brunch. read more

On a scale of butter to butter, this restaurant gets butter. I came here with my girlfriend during happy hour. We ordered the bruschetta appie, it was tasty but on the buttery side. For our mains, I ordered the burger and my gf ordered the salmon. The burger patty itself had no flavour at all other than the flavour of plain ground beef. The burger overall was ok as a result of a good bun and sauce. The side of fries were so saturated in oil and burnt looking they were inedible. I figured they were overcooked, but the waiter said they were special triple fried fries and that's what they're meant to be like (I thought we were in Yaletown not the Deep South). As a plus, the manager replaced them with a salad for no charge. At the same time, my girlfriend had to send the salmon back because it was a disaster. It looked and tasted like the cooks melted a quart of butter over it. The salmon was garnished with soggy greasy vegetables sitting on mashed potatoes surrounded by a moat of yellow liquid that filled the whole plate. I thought it was a sauce but it was actually pure butter. The salmon and mashed potatoes were saturated. We virtually never ask to send stuff back but this was insane. The manager seemed surprised the dish made it to our table and the over buttering wasn't noticed by the waitresses. At this point the owner also came out to offer recommendations on a replacement dish, but my gf decided on a salad. As a way to say sorry, they ordered fresh baked cookies for us which was a nice gesture. Unfortunately it would have been nice if they told us that the cookies take 15 minutes because we were trying to pay our bill and leave. When the cookies arrived, they were tasty, but clearly soooo buttery. We ordered the cookies in a "to go" box and even the box had buttery finger marks all over it. At this point we figure the actual kitchen and the cooks must be made of out butter. The reason they're getting 2 stars is because they made a genuine attempt to remedy the situation, but alas you can't fight butter with butter. read more

Food: good. Location: fine. Service: snail's pace, wow. Came here on a Sunday 11am with 4 other people. We had reservations but there was plenty of room still so we moved to a nice table on the balcony, which has plenty of shady areas so it doesn't get too hot. Great spot to enjoy their $5 mimosas! We chatted happily away and watched as the tables around us changed over ... then watched the couple next to us, who had arrived significantly after us, get their food while we were still waiting ... then waited some more... and some MORE. They brought us drinks in a reasonable time, but it was a full HOUR from when we arrived till the food even arrived, and the restaurant still wasn't full by any means. The food itself was good; I had the lobster benedict and it was tasty, although the hollandaise sauce was pretty bland. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food also. But waiting an entire hour for it to arrive was not ok, especially while watching other tables' food arrive first. I'd give this place 4 stars for the food, but the extreme slowness (without even any explanation or apology) definitely drops it down to a 3. read more

I came here with 3 of my girl friends and I was so glad we did. All appetizers were half off so we ordered one of each except for the Truffled Cauliflower Soup which we can't really share. The Goat Cheese Bruschetta was nothing special. When I tried it the grilled baguette was soaked with the juice from the tomato. I guess I should have eaten my share as soon as it gets on our table. The Vancouver Island Mussels & Fries was pretty good. I just hope it came with more bread to dip in the broth. The wedge fries that came with it was pretty tasty. I bet they used fresh oil to deep fry the potatoes. Beef carpaccio is nothing special. And I find the serving was small. Two of my favourite are the Chinois Prawns and Buratta & Prosciutto. The prawns were perfectly cooked. It was lightly breaded which I like. The aioli sauce was perfect for my taste. Not too spicy. And the candied walnuts is just yummy crunchy. Now let's talk about the Buratta. Omg it's so creamy delicious. I like to layer my grilled bread with buratta, prosciutto, fig jam, a tiny bit of the grainy mustard top with a small piece of olive. It's divine! I think I can finish an order of this appie by myself. It's that good. read more

Beautiful and clean interior, friendly and knowledgeable server, good eats and drinks for happy hour. Was impressed by all the food other than the mussels, which were underwhelming. We had truffle fries, yum! We also had the calamari and prawns which I would go back for, and the lamb lollipops we pretty good too! Drank a few mules which are on for 7 bucks during happy hour, made them doubles for an extra 4 bucks. All and all it was a great dining experience! read more

Definitely needs improvement. Things I did love was the space and décor. The brick wall was quintessentially Yaletown and couches for the middle dining table was comfortable, while still beautiful. The girls were sweet and even though they may have lacked experience, they made up in friendliness. We were a group of 6 so while waiting on the last person to show up, they made us sit on the side to order drinks. We asked to be seated for dinner, but they insisted that we sit near the bar first. That was annoying since we would have ordered appetizers and there was a table just sitting there without use. After our friend showed up, we settled the bill, which we found to be overcharged. We showed them the price on drink menu and it took a little while to fix. We looked over the menu and promptly ordered food. Our server ended up coming back 2 times to confirm what we had ordered and if it was correct. I appreciate her trying to take down the order without any errors but it kept interrupting our conversations. I ordered the lamb and although it had good flavor and I enjoyed it, the meat could have been a bit hotter. I think it was resting for too long before the server brought it to us. Overall, I think this place has potential as long as they are willing to fix the kinks. read more

I ate dinner here abt 4 yrs ago for one of those set menu events and it was good, but do not remember it to write a review for that experience. I've recently gone twice for happy hour to enjoy patio weather. Last month, went for Rose' day to enjoy their Rose' sangrias and had to try their Chinois prawn (as per our waiter's recommendation) which were delicious. Then went recently on Friday for HH and this time, it was more abt their appys, ordered the calamari, prawns and mussels. The chinois prawns, 5 to an order were still v good (order them trust me), and the fried calamari came with a few greens which were good, but the mussels disappointed. The fries were burnt but the menu does indicate how they're made as I asked the waitress if that was normal and she said yes?! Definitely a great patio for happy hour but it fills up fast. read more

In a city full of great restaurants, this is decent, but touristy. Any restaurant along this strip with an outdoor patio seem to spend a lot more of their time selecting the waitresses than their head chef, and it shows. While one doesn't mind eye candy - this isnt the place. You spend big bucks for great food, not a giggling 20 year old who wont shut up while wearing a dress not even appropriate for a Robert Palmer music video - may he rest in peace. Other than that - great South African wine selection and great location means you will need reservations regardless of their service level and food quality. read more

This place has always been overlooked because of the vibe that it gives out on weekends, but I went for happy hour on a Tuesday, and was pleasantly surprised. The host was very welcoming and our server! (I just wish I got her name, I think it might have been Chelsea?) She was great! the moment I sat down she was attentive, my water glass was always full and more importantly my wine glass was always full. $4 hbs $6 wine and their appies were SUCH a great deal! I ordered the beef tostata without the deep fried shell - server offered to put it on a bed of lettuce to make it a lettuce wrap and it was delish! Also ordered the avo hummus and of course the burrata. The portions were great and everything tasted better than expected. I probably will still stay away on weekends but definitely will be back during the week for dinner or the hh! read more

I stopped by for a quick happy hour upon recommendation from a coworker. The decor is nice and modern. The happy hour menu had lots of great options, all at reasonable prices and portions. My party order everything to share around the table, so I got to try the mussels, calamari, buratta & prosciutto, and the Chinois prawns. All were really good and highly recommended. I would especially got back again for the mussels, which were steamed in a delicious tomato broth and served with side of triple-cooked fries (which were equally good on its own). Service was not bad either. Our server was personable and interactive. However, there are certainly little things that could be improved on. One thing would be for hostesses to be a little more aware of the dining room setup before bringing in guests. We were brought to a table that was not set up properly and then asked to go back to the front while the quickly set the table. Another thing would be perhaps the server could be a little more proactive when dealing with the bill. We were clearly a group of friends coming in, yet the server did not bother asking if/how the bill needed to be split. We had to ask her in after the bill was dropped, but she did do it without much fuss and quite quickly. read more

I made a reservation for 5 on one of the taste of yaletown nights. Online the menu looked great and I've always wanted to try it. When I say the menu looked great, I'm talking that the entree had an option of a braised lamb! The truffle cauliflower soup was really good, but that braised lamb is really what sealed the deal! It was a substantial chunk of meat, so tender and juicy. From the rest of their menu, I gathered that they take pride in locally sourced ingredients and hearty, warm west coast food. The server was very patient with our group being a little indecisive. He recommended a wine that made my wino friend happy. The courses arrived promptly and he was always there to offer refills. The space was clean and spacious. It was lively but at an adequate quiet to hold a conversation. It seems to be a good space for groups. I would be happy to return and bring more friends. read more
