Our server, Peter was simply amazing. He was attentive and kind and you could tell he loved being there. So refreshing. We had the calamari and some drinks and it was all so splendidly priced and well served. I am glad to have found such a high quality and authentic joint. There was live piano playing and it was so beautiful to hear love music after so long being unable to hear people play. Overall an amazing experience. Though definitely get there early for happy hour or be prepared to miss it. Highly worth it tho!

By far my "spot" in the entire city. I've only been a few times, but this place tops all other restaurants for me because of a few things: ambience, service, and the food! Joe Fortes is one of those places that makes each and every one of their patrons feel like a million bucks. The servers are a perfect combination of classy, funny, and like I said before - they make you feel like you're the most important person in the room. If you're lucky enough to be there when the piano is going (there's a piano on the staircase and they were playing Beach Boys tunes the last time I was there) it just adds that extra touch of warmth to the whole experience. Great place for brunch or a (Vancouverites love their brunch).
Absolutely love Joe Fortes! The service is always top notch. We went for happy hour. We enjoyed fresh oysters, mini lobster and shrimp rolls, calamari and truffle fries. We loved the live piano music while eating our meal. Highly recommend this Vancouver restaurant.
Went there with friends last night for some birthday drinks - the food and the drinks were amazing!! However our server was not very receptive or accommodating to us at all. I understand it was a busy night for all restaurants but she made our time there feel stressful. There was no asking if we were here for anything special, she continuously only asked us about our entrees even though we had said we’ll probably just stick with appetizers and drinks and seemed annoyed with our answer. The only time her attitude changed was after we left her a good tip. We still had a great night and everything else was incredible - especially the other server who dropped off our lobster oil at the end of the night! He was great :)
I had a terrific experience here the other night when I came for dinner with my partner. We went on a Sunday night with reservations, which, based on how busy the restaurant was, is the recommended approach. The food was outstanding, with the Salmon Wellington being a particularly notable standout. I was also highly impressed with the service - our waiter was friendly, informative, and attentive throughout our visit. I'll definitely be back here again.
Came here for the dine out Vancouver menu. It was absolutely delicious. Very large considering its a discounted 3 course menu. Wasn't things I would usually order but was really pleasantly surprised. The tuna tartar was amazing!
Hands down the best calamari I've ever tasted. Literally perfect, I don't even want to eat calamari anywhere else again cause nothing will compare. Great service too, sat at the bar and was served by Carina, must say she is very good at her job, was helped the second I sat down and my food was ordered within minutes. Only in town visiting for the weekend but will definitely be back again before my visit is over.
Based on the first visit, Food: Happy hour items are very good in portion and taste, drinks are very well priced. Main course (steak) can use bit of upgrade in freshness or prepare level in meat. Steak did not have good taste to it (steak did not have the meat aroma) not seasoned correct or cold grilled... Steamed meat inside without much juice. Portion wise, very forgiving for big eaters. Service: top grade Cleanness: top grade. Overall: 4/5
