C it is clearly riding on a reputation that precedes its current performance. Food was nothing special, and service was substandard at best. Not very good value for money. I was disappointed.

We had the 10 course "Groupon"sampler menu. Each item was unique and exceptional. The kitchen staff are obviously very capable. The presentation of each item was creative, with great attention to detail. Our server, Larry, was attentive, but not intrusive. The background music was light modern jazz, very atmosphere. The location on the Sea wall is fabulous, overlooking the Vancouver... More

My husband and I had a fantastic meal at this lovely restaurant in downtown Vancouver. He is born and bred in Vancouver but we now live in London, where we're really quite spoiled for choice. After some very underwhelming dining experiences at supposedly "top" restaurants in my native Toronto, like Bymark, Far Niente and Auberge du Pommier, I wasn't expecting... More

I purchased a groupon for C-Restaurant restaurant for $100 for 10 course dinner. When I phoned to make a reservation I was denied the reservation because I am using a groupon. The person who spoke with me was unbelievably rude and unconsidered. He suggested me to use my promotion only during the week days, when they have spots for it.... More

Two old girlfriends and I had been planning this dinner out for weeks, as our choice for the dine-out Vancouver event. When the reservation was made, we requested a special table because it was my birthday. It wasn't my birthday, but we really wanted to make this a special seat for a special occasion as two of us hadn't seen... More

I had heard great things about `C` which is why I wanted to check it out. I can say this, the view is extraordinary … that was the highlight for us. The hostess was very polite and friendly – our server, not so much. He wasn`t friendly, when asked for recommendations was very short and not at all helpful. The... More

As a preface, we came here for Dine Out Vancouver. Very disappointing. The food is boring, bland, and tasteless. I had always heard that C was good, but being a frequent visitor to Blue Water Cafe and Coast, I could never muster the energy to come to C, especially given its 10 - 25% price premium relative to Coast and...

This highly rated restaurant lived up to its reputation, even if the fickle "in" crowd has moved on, the restaurant remains an excellent choice to impress. Our service was warm, attentive and fast. The food choices were not only interesting, but the chef knows what to pair with what, a hard job that many young chefs cannot handle. The server... More

Interesting to read the spotty reviews of this experience. We ate late 8:30 - 10:30 and enjoyed very good service. Food was perfect.
