- IIrvinVIPVancouver / British Columbia •57 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoFirst time visiting this restaurant with 3 other friends. Overall the food was good but wish there were more than 2 meat/seafood options. We ended up just ordering 3 appetizers and 1 pasta and left to complete our dinner at another restaurant. Service was efficient and welcoming and so no complaints there. Do miss the former occupant, Autostrada that had a more varied menu and our group agreed tasted better. We may give it another go in the near future if the meat/seafood entree options expands.More infoLocanda dell'OrsoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.4
- BBrianPhiladelphia County •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days ago"WOW" What a beautiful experience - inviting and exhilarating, starting with the friendly greeting, and ending with a friendly farewell, this restaurant does not disappoint. Having never experienced this style of Japanese cuisine, in my own words it's like "Japanese Soul Food". The bistro style atmosphere elevates the experience of the incredibly delicious and perfectly executed cuisine. This is by no means anything but amazing food. You just have to dive in and try things. Not one single plate disappointed and the delicious cocktails were a bonus. One time in particular, the Curry Poutine stood out because it is a beautiful example of natural fusion of Japanese and Canadian cuisine. I hesitate to use the word "fusion" but i'm not sure what else I'd call it other than a natural outcome of talented people making wonderful food representative of their own culture perfectly integrated with another one. Service was on point, every single member buzzing about like a colony of bees - you can kindly ask any one of them for anything! It's like walking into a family gathering. Bravo Guu Toramasa!

- CChrisChicago / Illinois •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoDining at ARC for our Christmas dinner made it special. The food was delicious…interesting without being pretentious. Glad we were seated on the upper level as it was a little quieter. Only downside was that we weren’t seated until 8 pm despite a 7:30 reservation.More infoARC RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Unspecified• Coal Harbour•4.6
- BBradLas Vegas •2 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoHys is always a fantastic meal. The cheesebread is so addictive. Open flame steak gives a perfect char. What made this night was the service. Our server was Andrew and he was amazing. Not just a great server, his recommendations for drinks/food were perfect. I've been to Hys a bunch of times but Andrew made this special.More infoHy's Steakhouse VancouverPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.8
