We ordered entirely off the happy hour menu including oysters, cheeseburger sliders, lobster & shrimp roll and miso glazed short ribs. Everything was delicious and the service was super quick.

On walking in, you realize that the place is absolutely huge. There are lots of servers though to take care of your needs while there. Is it very busy, bustling and happening place. There was love piano bar.

We had the oysters, the crab cakes, and the halibut, and every dish was spot on. The room has a classic old-school Vancouver feel, and the live piano in the background made the evening even better.

Very impressed by the fresh, plump oysters and the Prawn & Clam linguine. The service was fantastic, and this is one of the top restaurants in Vancouver for seafood.

Joe Fortes has been a Vancouver staple since it opened in 1985, and it’s still as charming as ever. The classic room and seafood-focused menu make it feel timeless.

For my birthday dinner, we went to Joe Fortes and it felt like a proper celebration. The whole experience was polished, from the food to the service.
