Cheers!

Great lounge with amazing Columbia river views with the beautiful sunsets. Excellent service from Joe at the bar and their staff. Great selection of Happy Hour items too.

The view was the only good thing going here
Liz W.

First off the view is amazing and the server was friendly, but she did not know any of the answers to questions I had asked about the menu, regarding what the drink special was or what other drinks were, etc. to be honest, that's not a dealbreaker. Had the food been good? We had a glass of wine, a beer off hh menu, & The steak skewers which were not good. It was tender, but bland and had a very weird taste to it and then lots nasty fatty bites. $18 for the happy hour steak skewers and just not good at all . We will go back for a drink because it's a lovely view, but definitely won't be ordering the steak skewers again

The host was wonderful, he promptly sat my friend and I in a location of our choosing so we could see the view. Waitress came to give us menus, once we ordered - just one drink a piece - she said she would be back to see if we liked the drinks and she never came back. It wasn't busy at all either. I finally got her attention to get our check, she drops it off and says "gratuity has already been added as well!". Ummm gratuity for 2 drinks and just a party of 2?? BTW I got the tequila cilantro drink, no cilantro flavor at all. My friend got the coconut "old fashioned" which was decent. But my tab was $50, what a joke - I won't be returning

Stopped in after apps and happy hour at the AC Hotel. This place is posh and the interior design is beautiful. Finally some nice places this side of the river. We sat at the bar on Valentines Day, fairly early in the evening. Great service, attentive and friendly. Both of the cocktails I tried were well done, pretty and delicious. I will definitely be back.

Sweet Bites Menu

This is probably the nicest bar/lounge we've been to since moving to the PNW. The staff is welcoming, attentive and seemed to work really well together to greet, seat and serve guests. We arrived shortly after 4pm on a gorgeous Sunny Saturday afternoon. We attempted to get a table outside but they were all taken, so we sat inside near the window so we could catch the sunset. Because we had just eaten at Grassa about an hour before (and were totally stuffed) we opted to just get dessert and wine, which turned out to be a total treat. We got the chocolate torte which was so decadent, rich, & creamy with raspberry & pistachio crumble - simply divine. And it paired nice with our glasses of local Pinot noir. Service was excellent and the ambiance is a vibe, especially being right on the water. The decor, colors, lighting and woodwork all contribute to the beautiful aesthetic.

We've been wanting to check this place out but they close so early and we finally had a chance to come by after a wedding. Staff was so nice. Very friendly and welcoming. Ambiance is nice. Dark with minimal lighting. We wanted to sit outside but weren't able to because it was full. Drinks were good but spendy. Everything on the menu is spendy. FYI, they add a 20% gratuity fee on your bill. We were only party of 2, just me and my husband and the only thing we ordered was 2 drinks. Probably won't be back.

Date night!

Hands down the most amazing service and bar creations! Above and beyond in everything they do, and a perfect start, or finish to an El Gaucho treat! (Also you can order from El Gaucho there as well)

The perfect view of the lake on top of the hotel indigo. If you ever stay at any of the hotels on the waterfront I would recommend you make reservations for outdoor seating to catch the sunset. Drinks is a bit pricey but the appetizers made up for it. The pork belly was tender and the deviled eggs came in three different flavors. Our hostess made sure we had outdoor seating as we didn't make any reservations for the night. Once a table opened up so gave it to us!

Pink Skies at Night

I love the atmosphere of this lounge! Very classy, chic, and awesome views of the Columbia River. The food and cocktails were very tasty. It's great spot for a night out.

Order: The Expat (scotch, cognac, tropical italian amaro, coffee, banana) Pros: the view is gorgeous! The music sets the atmosphere, and the inside decor gives an upscale adult type of vibe. The Expat drink is really delicious. You get a smoky taste from the coffee and it pairs well with the scotch. Cons: I didnt taste the banana but its still a really good drink.

Charcuterie and poke
Toria S.

*puts on monacle and top hat* I am absolutely tickled that little ole Vancouver has a rooftop lounge with a really comfortable and upscale ambience to boot. And when I say upscale, I mean ~upscale~. We were greeted and escorted all the way up to the 8th floor which was a nice little boost to feel like we were part of the 1% for an evening. We arrived just at sunset and you could quite literally feel the energy as people enjoyed the moment, it was very beautiful! We were greeted promptly at our table and had great service our entire visit. Nothing overbearing and also very attentive to our requests. Extremely comfortable seating that encouraged us to stay for over 2 hours. If I'm being a little pedant, I'll just say it was awkward having the uncommonly small tables at the incorrect height for how low the seating was at the banquets. I also feel as though the acoustics can be managed a little better as during our stay, 3 different, large parties rotated near us (but not next to us) and it was fairly easy to listen in on their loud conversations. What we had: 2 glasses of wine each, I really liked my rose, the pours were heavy! Charcuterie - I thought it was fairly priced for what we were receiving but what was provided did not mesh well together. It looked beautiful, don't get me wrong, but having pickled cauliflower, pate, savory cheesecake (bleu cheese), and a delightful mustard as the accoutrements made it difficult to mix and match flavors since they were all stand-alone, flavorful stars. Plus, more crisps are always needed, always Poke bowl - really fresh fish, would absolutely order again, good staple ;) 5/5 view on a crisp winter evening 5/5 aesthetics 5/5 service 4/5 food 4/5 functionality of space Rounding up to 5 stars because I still really enjoyed the place and am working on trying not to be so detail-oriented for my own sanity! I could have sat inside for hours, and would be interested how the cocktails are since El Gaucho downstairs has some really great flavors on their own menu.

Elder flower Vodka cocktail
Rachel C.

I can see myself enjoying more time on this patio! Amazing view and chic vibes thorough out. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. The cocktail wasn't my favorite it had a little more peppercorn than I think I was expecting and I would like to see more sweet vodka cocktail options. The savory food options left much to be desired if you're vegetarian. Everything had meat in it and the only option without were deviled eggs. Even if not specially a vegetarian or vegan establishment it's important to consider. Was curious to try the macarons, I'll have to come back and try more of the menu.

Bartender concoction's

Beautiful, cozy, relaxing. It has great views, as you'd expect. Lots of different seating options with a chill intimate vibe. Basically a date night dream place when the goal is talking to, and enjoying, each other rather than just "going to dinner again". Speaking of dinner, it's a very limited app menu. My knock down to 4 stars is because there's not one vegetarian option. Although, in all fairness, I didn't ask if anything could be adapted to vegetarian either. I had a bartender (Matt) whip me up something unique and all I remember is that there was rye whiskey...lol...photo attached. It was fantastic. In fact it was waaay better than a drink I had off the menu (All The Way Up). Service was friendly and fantastic. Great place.

I ordered a drink of the mixed drinks and my husband got a margarita. The drink was so bad - neither one of us could drink it. I don't think I've ever returned a drink I can't pound before haha. It was 10 minutes before I went home to the bar to ask for something different - no one came by to ask how things were. The guava choice I picked for the second - not good. Watered down flavors of who knows. The drinks at Wahi Hanna are amazing in comparison - especially with the Dole Whip vibe. The spam fries were $9 for half a can of spam cut up and put in the oven with a side of mayo? The loco moco was promising but tasted like something you'd get at Kenjis - not a Hawaiian spot. I feel like with a lot of tweaks in flavor - this could be a great spot.

Intentionally set earlier in the day understanding the significance of the day. (Been together over 20 years.) When we arrived my husband kindly requested a window table with view of the water. The woman taking the reservation info advised that she would try, but "so busy" etc. We were sat at a half circular booth that was facing water but set back from water. I just want to note there were 7 tables open at window seating. 3 of which were 2 tops. We did have 3, so essentially for us, 4 EMPTY tables could have accommodated our request. 2 remained empty the entirety of our meal. So I just can't understand why this request wouldn't be granted. Waitress we were assigned was amazing. On top of things, refills etc. We got the wing appetizer, cheese curds, and the wedge salad as appetizers. They were all good. The wings I would get with no sauce. The sauce on them was very ketchup reminiscent. For the entrees we both did the steak frites. Fries were amazing. The steak was sooooo tough. Medium rare didn't save them. Our child got the half pizza and demolished. For dessert we got the cookie with ice cream and the valentines special cheesecake. Both were delicious. Overall 3.5. Could use some help at front. If you don't realize you have that many free tables and could easily accommodate a paying customer the table they prefer, it just simply doesn't make sense. At the end, I did ask manager why we wouldn't be able to sit where we requested and there really was just no good reason. It was just a shrug like it was a busy day. Like I guess maybe saving for make believe guests?? LOL unreal. It's not often I would question things. But this was just absurd. Again, I need to say, our waitress was amazing. Food was fine. Just a very weird experience as far as seating. Like who are you saving those seats for?? Anywho. Enjoy!

They began with a complimentary glass of champaign. As we continued, I had a Blanton's Old Fashioned, she had a glass of Rombauer Chardonnay. We had tableside Caesar Salad, probably the best we've ever had. For the entre we each had, Steak El Gaucho, 8 oz filet, with lobster medallion, asparagus, and béarnaise. I like mine rare, she medium rare and they were both prepared perfectly, plus a side of sauteed mushrooms. We were both stuffed but eyed the tableside Banana's Foster. It was for two but our server offered to make half an order so we could each sample the goodness. The service was excellent; the tableside preparation was showmanship quality. Our check was $363 and we tipped him $100 for outstanding service. We don't normally dine like that but as our 34th, we lived it up with Blanton's, Rombauer, filet, sides and Banana's Foster.

We arrived right at 12 p.m., and many buffet items were already empty or close to empty -- smoked salmon, oysters, salad plates, and several other dishes. We waited thinking the food would be quickly replenished, but restocking was consistently slow throughout the entire meal. Even after multiple reminders, they would only bring out very small amounts at a time despite long lines of guests waiting. To their credit, the ambiance was nice. The Mother's Day decorations, live music, and small bracelet gift were thoughtful touches. However, the food quality and service simply did not justify the cost. At $100 per person plus service fees (close to $600 total excluding tips for our group of four), we expected a much more organized and well-stocked brunch experience. The most surprising part was that a steakhouse buffet didn't even include steak. Sadly, this experience made us question whether we'd return for their regular dining service.
