It was one of the best dinning experiences for us. I recommend prior reservation as it’s usually packed, especially during happy hours.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.Special shoutout to Brian and Heidi who made our day even better with their service and they were incredibly kind to offer a crème brûlée on the house as it was our anniversary.Would definitely visit again.

Had a fantastic lunch at Joe Fortes Seafood & Chop House. The service was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. We ordered a great variety of dishes and were impressed with everything that came to the table. The seafood was fresh, the flavors were excellent, and each dish was beautifully prepared. We had a wonderful spread and enjoyed sharing different items across the menu. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing lunch. Looking forward to returning again soon!

We came here due to a very high recommendation from a friend that visited VanCity. It wasn't too bad. 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. It's not bad.

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.

Excellent service, great food, and a lovely atmosphere. The linguine was delicious, the oysters were incredibly fresh, and the whole dinner felt like a special occasion.

The main dish was very filling and could easily be shared. We loved the seafood, and the reservation was definitely worth it for dinner.

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.
