My best friend was visiting from out of town and we were celebrating her birthday along with the holidays. When we arrived we were asked if we preferred the quieter area of the restaurant, and we proceeded to have a wonderful evening catching up , and thouroughly enjoying the delicious tasting menu. The lamb chops were perfection! Service throughout was professional and friendly, our water glasses filled all evening.

This is a true dining experience. While portions appear small, there are many of them and elegantly presented. The sommelier is well versed in his product. All courses are well explained on service. The view, city or harbour is great. Dress is business casual, so not fussy, but not T shirt and ball cap. You are there to dine, not eat. That said, a $500 dinner should come with water…not at $9 per bottle.

The Christmas dinner special was spectacular and don't forget to bring a full wallet!! The 5 course meal was absolutely spectacular with the tenderloin and the scallops stealing the show. Michael, our server was on the ball, funny and attentive but not overly. The rest of the staff were on point as well with everything and we had 6 people to the table with every one of them engaging and efficient with their service. The star of the show however was the general manager, Jason who made us Cafe Diabos at the table. Jason was spot on with his origin story and the history here in Vancouver. He repeated the same spectacular show at at least 6 tables and one of them asking for the event twice! It is a must visit for everyone that is out of a special evening in Vancouver.

Fantastic dinner from start to finish. The lasagna and pickerel were particular highlights. The service was exceptional. Our server was thoughtful, attentive, charming and had very practical feedback whenever we had menu questions. We were celebrating my wife’s birthday, and decided to forgo dessert (being fully satisfied and full.) Not one to miss an opportunity, our wonderful server surprised us with a birthday candle in a ramekin, along with a couple glasses of Montenegro to underline the occasion. So thoughtful! All in all, wonderful experience and would recommend to even my pickiest friends.

Aside from very good food, the service was a differentiator for us. It felt 'personal' and handled with care. The dining area wasn't crammed together to maximize restaurant space/revenue, which we appreciated. A higher quality tea (store version in a package) and silverware (mid-quality used for entire meal) is all we could think of in terms of making this a 5 Star dining experience.

Each plate is thoughtfully crafted to evoke the way Thanos’ grandmother cooked, inviting guests to explore the Greece he grew up with through food, art and music.

Meant to mimic an open market, the room is built of white concrete blocks creating an effect similar to the stucco seen throughout Greece. Mamakas is a nod to heritage, history and family memories – the daily trip to the market for ripe and fragrant tomatoes. Visiting a trusted butcher for fresh paithakia, and the local fish monger for the daily catch.

Recipes passed down through generations. Honest Greek fare with a modern twist. Designed to share. Everything just as Thanos’ family has done through the ages.

About the restaurant

Oddfish is a Seafood and Vegetable focused restaurant. Ethically sourced and high quality ingredients are what you will find here with the focus being on the food - not the fuss. In regard to the wine list - approachable and interesting with a great price point is our goal. The atmosphere is casual and fun. We are a neighbourhood restaurant that others from outside the neighbourhood come to for that welcoming atmosphere. We are the same people who created Nook and Tavola restaurants.

Life is too short to eat ordinary pizza! We like to drink great wine, sometimes lots of it. Most importantly, we like to share these passions with our friends.

Our menu is Italian inspired and stacked with delicious food. Try a few of our smaller items or feast on a selection of pizzas and larger plates. It’s up to you. We believe food is meant to be shared and encourage family style dining as we send dishes out once they are prepared. Conversation comes naturally when people enjoy food together.

My boyfriend and I visited Sabor for our anniversary dinner and had an unbelievable experience. Not only did every employee acknowledge our special day, the restaurant provided us with a card at our table congratulating us. Our server Kim was so knowledgeable in the restaurant, preferred dishes and the wine list. Additionally, as I am celiac, their kitchen was so accommodating. Almost anything on the menu can be adjusted to be gluten free or naturally comes gluten free. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant for any event, and especially special occasions. The atmosphere was comfortable and quaint and the servers are very attentive but not overwhelming. The food portions are massive, as a party of 2, we definitely had left overs from our 2 main courses we shared. We will definitely be back for another dinner in the future.

You guys HAVE to try Ten Foot Henry! We had such an amazing dinner here - literally everything we tried was a hit. The tuna crudo was perfect, and don't sleep on their gochujang cauliflower (perfectly cooked, not mushy at all). The steak was just chef's kiss - they clearly use top-quality meat and know exactly how to cook it. But can we talk about that chicken? SO juicy with this incredible sauce that had us all swooning. The pastas were total winners too - both the cacio e pepe spaghetti and the gigli were delish. And okay, this might sound weird, but their CABBAGE dish was mind-blowing! Even my toddler couldn't get enough, which is saying something! Quick heads up for parents - while this isn't really a kid-focused spot (definitely no chicken fingers or coloring books here), we actually had a great time with our little one. Just come prepared with a backup plan for takeout if things get squirmy. The vibe is definitely more adult and it's usually packed, but our kiddo surprised us by loving everything! Make sure you save room for dessert - the cheesecake cream puffs were the perfect sweet ending. Only tiny downside is it gets pretty loud in there, so expect to raise your voice a bit across the table. But honestly? Totally worth it for food this good!

About the restaurant

vivo is where Italian comes alive. We relish the enthusiasm and joy with which the traditional Italian meal is prepared and delivered, and seek to recreate that experience for every guest. Our open kitchen showcases our chefs preparing fresh and local ingredients.

When you join us for dinner, expect it to be a relaxing evening lasting a couple hours over several piatti (courses). Your table comes alive when we present a variety of large offerings on platters or bowls within easy reach of all.

A classic Italian pranzo (dinner) usually beings with a variety of antipasti (hot and cold appetizers), followed by one or two primi (usually a hot pasta, risotto, gnocchi or zuppa). Next your table will share a secondi (entrees) served on a platter combined with your choice of contorni (vegetable side dishes). Italians often complete their meal with un dolce, un caffe, or un digestivo (dessert, espresso, liqueur or grappa).
we only use fresh in house made pastas and sauces.

This was not our first time dining at VIVO, & for good reason. The food, as always, was both authentic, & scrumptious, each choice we made so incredible that we willingly shared with others at our table as the portions are both generous, and simply too delicious to gate keep for ourselves. If there’s someone you’d truly enjoy sharing a culinary delight with, VIVO is the place to be! We can’t wait to go again to try other offerings on their menu, while pairing new choices with the favourites we just can’t pass up.
