One of the four Special Visitor restaurants I use for those spectacular views of Vancouver. The staff is attentive, portions are good. Brunch is good with a wide selection of entrees. Parking can be a bit tricky, but there is Valet, street parking, or parking on top near the Conservatory ( another lovely visitor venue) , Certainly one of the first class restaurants of Vancouver's dining scene.
Great food and exceptional service by one of the absolute nicest and most engaging servers I have ever experienced, Marek. He made the whole experience second to none!
I went here during the holidays for an office lunch and had a beautiful clear sunny day that gave us a wonderful view of the city. I've been here several times before and I enjoy returning. On my most recent visit we shared the skyline platter (charcuterie) and humboldt squid and prawns. Among the five of us it was a decent sized appetizer alongside the complementary bread. For my main I got the seafood linguine carbonara. It was delicious but perhaps a bit heavy on the bacon for my personal liking. My coworker had the same and very much enjoyed all the bacon. For dessert I got the sunburnt lemon pie, which had a seared creme brulee top. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of it! It was delicious and a rather large serving where I probably should have shared it in hindsight. I thought everything was reasonably priced and the ambiance of the restaurant makes this a unique gem in the heart of Vancouver.
It's been years since we last ate here. There's a Sunday Prime Rib dinner special that they offer for $48 here. Wow...times sure have changed. About 20 years ago you could get that Sunday Prime Rib dinner for $25! Aside from the effects of inflations...it's always a pleasant experience here. The view is hard to beat! Dining alongside the gorgeous sunken garden at Queen Elizabeth Park is such a treat. Service was excellent. Our waitress came around and refilled our water (including hot water) quite a number of times, without us having to ask. That's always an excellent sign in my opinion. The bread they brought was nice and hot, and they butter was actually soft enough to spread. Nothing more frustrating than cold bread with cold, unspreadable butter! The only drawback is that when they offer you more bread...when it's so wonderfully hot you wanna say "yes" so then they bring you more, and you fill up on bread which leaves less space in your tummy for your main course! The truffle mushroom soup was just OK. Didn't taste any truffle flavor in it. I think I heard mixed reviews on the burgers. Highly recommend the brussel sprouts though. It's only a side dish but they do such an incredible job of the brussel sprouts at this restaurant. My Breakfast Bowl was pretty awesome too. Loved how runny my egg yolks were!
The Halibut was Wonderful with vegetables and potatoes. The French Bread was soft and warm. The desert was Incredible!!! The Service was Great and very Helpful!!!
TLDR: Marek is friendly and chatty. Pork chop is top 5 ever! I don't know if you know this, but it was made abundantly clear in many of the signs through the restaurant, that BILL CLINTON ate here. Perched atop the peak of Queen Elizabeth park, is this wonderful restaurant with gorgeous views. We made a reservation, and was lucky to get a window view of Northern Vancouver, with the hazy mountains in the back. Unfortunately, we were seated RIGHT next to another table, even though there were PLENTY of open tables around. It was.. a bit odd. The biggest highlight of the dinner was actually our server, Marek, who was an absolute delight to talk to. When he heard we were visitors, he immediately gave us a small puzzle... What was something missing from Vancouver, that is present in all other major cities? (Hint: it was infrastructure-related) When we also told him where we were staying, he also mentioned another great phenomenon... the ravens nesting at dusk, and the best place to see them, which was near where we stayed. He also wrote down some must-see sites, such as Whistler and Granville Island. Honestly, he made the dinner wonderful. The second biggest highlight was my wife's pork chop! It's REALLY hard to do pork chop right... often it's a case of how dry is it on a scale from super dry to a little dry. But in this case, every bite was juicy and soft! Not a dry morsel to be found. I was even worried because my wife took her time before she even started on her dish, but turns out my worry was unfounded... even after it "rested" for 5 additional minutes on her plate. I believe this to be the best pork chop we ever ate. Glorious! In comparison, my halibut was ok. It wasn't cooked badly at all. It was flaky and I liked the sun-dried tomatoes on top, which add a bit of sourness and sweetness. But, my mind still kept dwelling on the heavenly pork chop. As usual, we ordered WAYYYY too much food. We also got the brussel sprouts, which were also good. It was cooked just the way we liked it... with a nice sear on it, and dressed with oil. The sprouts tasted sweet and tangy, and I didn't get that much of the raw sprout taste. I wouldn't say it was top 5, but it's definitely good. Would order that again. We also got the truffle fries. They were crunchy and crispy. And they had a nice, not over-powering garlic flavor as well. Luckily I couldn't taste too much of the truffle oil. But it's something we could have definitely skipped. As is our wont at Western dinners, we ordered a cocktail. Ever since I got one for my lovely wife way back in Utah, this has been our thing. For this time, we got the Bumu Breeze, which is a rum-based drink with strawberry and lime. She loved it... probably her second favorite. It even tasted better at the end of the drink, with the diluted rum at the bottom. Finally, we ended our wonderful night with some creme brule. It was another could-skip. The brulee was not enough, as the top wasn't crispy at all. The inside was dense. Another skip. However, with the excellent service and best pork chop we've had, this place easily earns 5 stars from us. This is a place we would not only love to go back to, but worthy of a trip to specifically go to eat. There is valet here... as of 2024, it was $18 for dinner valet. Normal outside parking is $5/hr.
a classic spot for amazing views and great food at a great price. they have big portions and delicious options. the beautiful window view from the top of QE Park is stunning. service is spot on and food is made quickly. everyone was so happy with their meals and we devoured everything! highly recommend for tourists or for a local date night spot.
Gayle, Erin, Jim and I very much enjoyed a recent Lunch here. Seasons in the Park is a gorgeous restaurant space with beautiful views of the Vancouver skyline and the Queen Elizabeth Park gardens. As it was a bit warm, we decided to sit inside, rather than on the patio. CONS - None PROS - 1. Attractive and relaxing dining room, with a nice romantic vibe. 2. Excellent table service 3. Tasty complimentary bread. 4. Very good food selections. I had the Fish and Chips. 5. Reasonable menu pricing for where we were.
Amazing place for a dinner. Loved the view, their menu and their customer service. Their service was really good, they are really polite and friendly. My Prosecco and my water glass were filled all the time. Their menu is fantastic, all good options and their prime rib is one of my favourite. Their salmon is divine. The food was so tasty with the right seasoning and right temperature. Nothing to complaint!!!! I did love my experience and I'm always happy to come back!!!! Their view is fantastic!!! Cheers
