Best Seafood Restaurants in Gastown

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a business lunch at Joe Fortes, and I must say, the service provided by Tim and Heidi was truly exceptional. From the moment we were seated, both Tim and Heidi were attentive, professional, and ensured that every detail was handled seamlessly. Tim’s knowledge of the menu and wine list was impressive, offering thoughtful recommendations that perfectly complemented our meal. Heidi’s warm and personable demeanor created a welcoming atmosphere, making our guests feel comfortable and well cared for. Together, they worked in perfect harmony, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. The food, as always, was outstanding, but it was the exemplary service from Tim and Heidi that elevated the experience to another level. Their professionalism and genuine hospitality reflect the high standards that Joe Fortes is known for. I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant for any occasion and will certainly request Tim and Heidi on my next visit. Thank you for making our business lunch a memorable success!

Great food, drinks, ambience, and service. A worthwhile culinary experience. Highly recommend! The server's suggestions were helpful and great. Passion for food and drinks was in the air. The seats were a bit uncomfortable, but don't let that stop you from making a visit.

Michelin recommendation well earned! My friend and I shared an appetizer and dessert on either side of our entrees. The carpaccio was presented in an interesting way and was delicious. My friend had the scallops which were amazing, I had the loong kong chicken, a new taste for that was well prepared. We shared the pavlova for dessert which was perfect. All of this was over a shared bottle of Pinot Noir accompanied by doting attention from the sommelier. An amazing night out; highly recommended.

Food was fabulous and service was amazing!! Perfect venue for a holiday meal
