I got to try 2 different types of Japadog during my vacation in Vancouver, They were both quite good. My only regret is that I couldn't try more varieties. Okonomi was my favourite and they had a Vegan option as well which was nice.

The hot dogs were decent, but nothing extraordinary. One of them lacked flavor, which might have been due to the bread not being as fluffy or bouncy as expected. The service was okay, though the food took a bit longer to come out than I would have liked.

A friend told me he drove 3 hours from Seattle to get this. After eating one I finally get why. The mayo is paired with a lean sausage causing it to actually be fairly balanced in terms of fat vs lean content. It's a well constructed hot dog.

When traveling, we reserve an extra meal for the end of the evening...after dinner, after dessert, after the late night cocktail...I'm not sure what it's called, but in Canada it often means "vegetarian hot dog" because the nation is rich with they-hardly-ever-close hot dog places, always with a veggie dog option. That was our experience in cities in the east of Candada, and to our delight, here in Vancouver where Japadog services up a zillion different unique Japanese hot dog combinations, with a veggie dog ready to put in place, and, for heaven's sake, they're open until 3am.
We were in Vancouver for 3 nights, and, sure enough, we went to Japadog 3 times. If you're there before 10pm you can sit in their small dining area. After 10 you order at the street window and there are a couple of stone bench/planter areas right in front you can park yourself.
They have a separate vegetarian menu which is not fully on display in the restaurant, but IS available when you use their electronic ordering tablet (and viewable on their website.) That threw us off a little on our first visit when we knew we had seen the veggie options on the website, but it was before 10 and we were ordering from a live person who only mentioned 2 different options. (There are a lot more than 2!) No matter, over the course of our three nights we tried the Veggie Croquette (made with fried potatoes), the Veggie Oroshi, and the Veggie Terimayo (With no mayo). All looked unique and tasted good and served our late-night extra-meal stomach reserved for just such occasions.
The fact that it was almost across the street from our hotel was a bonus. (Or a disaster depending on how you look at it.) Please, Japadog...you have many locations...what would it take for you to open up just one more here in Newhall, California, and also be open until 3am...pretty please?

My favorite steak house. It perfectly captures the essence of a city that never sleeps. The atmosphere is dark and moody, with a touch of elegance that makes you feel like you've stepped into a noir film. The decor is a blend of industrial chic and classic sophistication, with dim lighting and plush seating. The steaks are nothing short of spectacular. I ordered a Chicago-style prime steak, and it was cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. The live music was great as well.

A little expensive, but the food was delicious. The cheese bread is like grilled cheese but only 1 half and it is delicious
The steaks were a little too expensive to go again, but were worth the price. Absolutely delicious. The waiter was lovely, they were all super nice but Peter who was serving us could probably tell we were not as rich as we should’ve been to bet there and was very kind all around
Good experience all around

I love how they offer vegan options!! Their Portobello mushroom fries, Mediterranean pasta and side of Field mushrooms are delicious, and served in big portions which is good bc I’m a big eater!
In addition, they also have a vegan sorbet that looks and tastes so yummy! Me and my boyfriend had an amazing time dining here and will definitely come back. The experience was unforgettable, I highly recommend Gotham, especially if you are a vegan looking for fine dining restaurants :)

We were recently in the lounge to catch the end of their social hour before heading to a concert nearby and it was outstanding! Won, our amazing bartender gave the most wonderful service!! Great recommendations while also providing laughs and charm! We sat at the bar and had such a great time! The food and drinks came quickly and were delicious!! We had oysters and champagne, the feature cocktail as well as the garlic shrimp and steak sandwich. I’ve been a few times and have never been disappointed. Will definitely return! Always great service and food! Won, thank you so much for the fantastic experience!! You are an absolute delight! What a great team!

We recently went to Gotham's Steakhouse in Vancouver on weekday evening. The ambiance was perfect for the private occasion, providing a warm and elegant atmosphere that made the evening truly special.
The service was outstanding—attentive, respectful, and accommodating to all our needs. The staff ensured that every detail was taken care of, allowing us to focus on honoring the memory of our loved one.
The food was absolutely delicious. Each dish, from the perfectly cooked steaks to the delectable sides, was prepared with great care and flavor. The quality and presentation of the meals were top-notch.
Thank you for giving us a private corner to allow us to reflect and toast our loved one.

My new favorite Happy Hour in Vancouver. They call it Cocktail Hour, but it's really great. The drinks were great and as expected.
However, the burger is the best I've had in Vancouver! When they ask you " how would you like it cooked?" You know you're in the right place.
Everywhere else in the world you can have your burger cooked to order. But here in Canada, they MUST cook it well done to comply with moronic "serve it right" regulations. I had my burger medium rare, and it was fantastic!! I'll be back, for sure!
Thank you Hawksworth!

First time at Hawksworth and it will not be my last. Decided to treat myself on Sunday morning. Had the Brunch Prix Fixe. Great value. What a wonderful start to the day.
All the courses were delicious. The Eggs Benedict was awesome. The eggs were poached perfectly. So luxurious.
Fabulous service from Roman.
Thank you!

3 years since my previous review and I have added an extra star. We had an early lunch reservation and we started out with a glass of Champagne in the bar. The friendly, professional barman asked if we were celebrating and word soon got round the serving staff. Seated at our table several staff members congratulated us and at the end of the meal we were presented with a complimentary selection of petits fours. As for the meal, the food and service were at the highest level. If you have wide tastes then the chef's choice/no selection "prix fixe" lunch is an amazing bargain. The sommelier was happy to suggest individual wines by the glass with no pressure to buy a bottle. The service was both correct and friendly. The food was beautifully plated and delicious. I can't wait to return.

Wow! What an amazing dinner! We wanted something nice in both atmosphere and food and we’re not disappointed. We had the tasting menu, which was absolutely amazing. What made it most amazing though as we did have an issue with one element of a dish, and the chef made us a special dish that wasn’t even on the menu yet to replace it, which was phenomenal. Both the SeaBass and Lamb was succulent, the fresh ingredients that complemented them were super tasty and well prepared. The desert… new to us, was one of my all time favorite deserts! Definitely something I can’t recreate…. Will just have to go back again! ☺️The service was outstanding, super personable very in tune to who we were and what we needed sometimes even before we needed it. I highly recommend this restaurant for dinner anytime!

I love how they have vegan options! Their Tuscan pasta and Organic Nourish bowl are delicious and I felt stuffed right after. Me and my boyfriend had a great time dining here and will definitely come back. I highly recommend Hy’s if you are a vegan looking for fine dining places :)

I was there to celebrate my wedding anniversary as this place has been in my bucket list.
We have tried other steakhouses and hope this would live up to the hype.
We have ordered 2 cocktails to start, which we both picked a lemon zesty, grapefruit flavor. Which we found very good.
Then came the appetizers as we ordered the cheese toast, sautéed prawns and Caesar salad.
Our server recommended us to dip the cheese toast into the sautéed prawn sauce which was really good!! 😋
The flavor of sauce was a little like a hollandaise sauce? Not sure but the overall experience was really good. 😋
However the main dish was disappointing. We ordered the 20oz bone in rib steak, shared between us.
The rib steak was thin, the skin was very charred, the steak was so fatty it was very tough to cut through. 😣
It came with a choice of potato and we ordered baked. Which was good! 😋

This place is beautiful. Elegant. High-class.
I've been to a number of Steakhouses in North America and the ambience at Hy's ranks among the top. As soon as you're in the front doors, you feel as though you're in a proper Steakhouse and you know they're going to take care of you.
I have been to a number of Steakhouses in the US (at much high price points) and didn't get the same vibe that I received from Hy's.
The atmosphere is a guaranteed 5/5. No question there. The service is top-notch as well - we had a dedicated server the entire night doing table-side food preparation and our drinks were never close to being empty.
The food. 11/10. I got the 8oz filet as my main and it was one of the juiciest, most tender steaks I've ever had. We ended up getting the caesar salad, spinach salad (best spinach salad I've ever had) & beef tartare as our appetizers. All were so so good.
For dessert I had the creme brulee and again, phenomenal.
In total, for 4 people (3 mains, 3 apps, 2 desserts and 2 drinks), the bill came out to around $400. Very well priced, especially considering the quality of food and the table-side preparation!
I would 100% come back to Hy's for another steak dinner!

The food was amazing.
Striploin was cooked to perfection 🤌
Sides came with vegetables and you chose the second (I tried the garlic mash potatoes)
There was a bit of a wait, not too long. 15 minutes.
The hostesses were very nice and friendly. As well as, the wait staff. We had nice conversation throughout our entire dinner, with both.
They seemed to have gotten busy towards the end of our dinner because our waitress hadn't come to check in and I ended up waiting 10-13 minutes for a to-go container. WHICH, I didn't mind. The atmosphere is so chill and relaxed and The chairs are quite comfortable!!
Nice place to sit and talk with your date(s) ;)

A Fantastic Experience! 🌟
Our time at this restaurant was absolutely incredible, thanks to the wonderful staff, cozy atmosphere, and, of course, the amazing food. 🍽️✨
From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and friendliness. We chose to dine upstairs, where the decor is more classic, but you can also opt for the ground floor, which offers a more modern vibe. 🏠🎨
As soon as we sat down, Kazuki, our server, took great care of us with a charming and attentive attitude. He explained the menu in detail and offered some excellent recommendations. 👨🍳📋
For appetizers, we had the Three Pepper Wings — if you love spicy food and blue cheese, these are a must! 🌶️🧀 We also enjoyed a delicious French Onion Soup. 🥣 For mains, we ordered the oven-roasted salmon with a honey mustard glaze, a healthy and delightful option. 🐟🍯 We also tried the Prime Rib Sandwich, a simpler yet equally delicious choice, along with the 10 oz Keg Steak. 🥩👌
For dessert, we couldn’t resist the cheesecake and crème brûlée, both of which were absolutely scrumptious. 🍰🍮
Overall, it was a fantastic experience with attentive staff. A special shout-out to Kazuki for making our meal extra memorable! 💫👨🍳

We had the duck confit, which was a feature but was not on the menu. The portion size is very generous: two duck legs and a lot of mashed potatoes, plus beets and green beans. The atmosphere is great and the service is great.

Came here for Father's Day for a 5:30 PM reservation. The restaurant was about half full but the service was quite slow. In terms of the food, it's exactly what you expect from the Keg. The prime rib was cooked well. We ordered extra crispy onions and were charged $2 per order. I guess this is a new charge as I remember it being complimentary before. The dessert was really decadent and sweet. Almost a bit too sweet. Maybe I'm just getting old lol! Overall a good experience.
Jonathan Lee - 4 months ago
Best steak I've had in years, and that's saying a lot. The Chicago-seared style was new to me, and delicious. The venue is upscale, dark, and grand, with a central spiral staircase. The service was impeccable - Kazuki was polite, helpful, constantly checking in on us. Everything we tried was really delicious - my NY steak, the twice-baked potatoes, the vegetarian meat loaf, the duck confit special, and of course the sticky toffee pudding was rich and gooey and had the perfect caramel. This was such a perfect night out for all 8 of us.

One of the best yakiniku house in Vancouver. If only it was closer to home, we would surely visit more often. Their meat is well-marinated & tasty as all of their other food as well. Service was great too, our server was very attentive.

Great experience!
This restaurant is a perfect choice for a family dinner. The décor is modern, and the staff is super friendly—they even offer you champagne when you arrive! 🥂 The menu has a wide variety of options to choose from. We ordered the Mediterranean Bowl, Katsu Chicken Salad, Herb Crush Salmon, and the JOEY Classic Steak.
The food was delicious; however, the portions for the steak and salmon were quite small considering the price. For dessert, we had the cheesecake and apple tart with maple ice cream, both of which were a sweet ending to the meal! 🍰🍎🍨

We came 2 nights in a row because the food was so delicious!
The roasted corn guacamole is spectacular! Start here but it’s so good everyone may want their own!!
I ordered the blackened chicken. I have celiac so frequently have an issue finding good whole meals. They kindly swapped the warm potato salad for mashed potatoes (so good!!)
Hubby got the butter chicken one night and a burger with truffle fries the second night. He really enjoyed the truffle fries!!
All the entrees were delicious… just pointing out some highlights. We did not try any of the streaks which would definitely change the budget for dinner here.
Diner beware: we didn’t even order the 3rd refills on soda. Imagine our surprise when the bill came with charges for 6 cokes totaling $30. Not cans or bottles, just fountain drinks. Wow.

Came here for happy hour drinks, and dinner. The diva burger was very flavourful, juicy, and fries were delicious. Seafood linguine was underwhelming. It was Tuesday and the server forgot about the 50% off on the 2nd entree deal. They did rectify the situation in the end.

Stopped in for happy hour while staying at the Met. We couldn't believe it wasn't more crowded! Excellent local beer and cider. We had the truffle fries and the humbolt squid (came like traditional calamari) coated with a sweet chili sauce and a side of the house hot sauce. Definitely recommend if you are nearby!

Had a birthday lunch for my partner here on a weekday afternoon. The place wasn't busy at all so it was quiet and it was very easy to get seated and receive help from the waitstaff throughout our lunch. The space itself is very clean and well-maintained, and you can tell the employees at Diva care a lot about working there. The ambience is, admittedly, not bad but also not what I would mention first to promote the restaurant, but its been updated just enough to be considered modern.
The food is however is simple but very good. We ordered truffle fries and a Caesar salad to share, and fish tacos and the grilled cheese with tomato soup lunch special as our mains. All the dishes were in very large portions and very sharable, enough that we took leftovers home. The Americano I ordered was also really good. Downside is that their menu has hotel/tourist pricing, so all the dishes are rather expensive. That said, portion sizes are VERY generous so sharing is totally possible if you decide to try it out.
The service we received from Monika was the highlight of our dining experience. She was so genuinely friendly, professional, yet still very approachable, and she made our time there very pleasant. She was helpful about dishes being sharable and everything we ordered came fast and hot. Then at the end she brought out a delicious chocolate fudge and vanilla ice cream dessert for my partner without even being asked. (I had indicated on OpenTable that our reservation was for a birthday.) What a great, unexpected way to end our meal!
So while Diva at the Met was a worthwhile trip, big thanks go to Monika for making my partner's birthday so memorable.

My Fiancé and Icame for the Valentine's special set course menu.
The Diva is a restaurant attached to the Metropolitan Hotel.
Entering, the lobby was very Valentines in setup, with a photobooth, red themed candy, etc.
We were quickly greeted and seated in the restaurant and presented with the menu.
Since we don't drink alcohol, we started with some mocktails, and the first course, fresh oysters. It normally comes with a sparkling brut, but we chose not to have that. The oysters were so good, with a horseradish vinegarette, that I tried to order more, but alas.... No avail.....
We chose both options for the 2nd course to try. The was kompachi crudo, with blood Oranges and picked root veggies, and a duck consommé with tortellini and shimeji mushrooms. Both were good, but the crudo was definitely the more favoured one.
For Entrée, I ordered pistachio crusted rack of lamb, and my fiancé ordered the black cod in lonster bisque. Both were delicious, not sure what else to really say!
Finally for dessert, we had this choclate and fruit pastry, with chocolate mousse. It had gold flakes, and was gorgeous! We loved it.
Everything was plated spectacularly. For the price of $98, it was definitely worth the experience. If you're expecting a huge filling meal out of it, go somewhere else.
Finally, big shout out to our server Monika for pulling a double, then back in the morning. She was professional, friendly and funny!
We would definitely come back for dinner again!

Came here for a birthday dinner celebration and had an ok meal. Most of us ordered from the tasting menu option. The appetizers were outstanding. We had the beef carpaccio and scallops and pork belly. As I don't eat pork, the kitchen was very understanding to accommodate my order. They gave me an extra scallop in place of the procuitto, and for the chicken entree they separated the bacon so that it could be enjoyed by others. The portion sizes was very good and even generous when compared to other restaurants in this class. The fresh pasta dishes were good but due to timing did not come out hot- likely waiting for the other dishes. Overall, the entrees were good. Desserts were not very refined and the taste could be improved upon to complete the meal. Our server was nice and the venue was quiet.
