Cactus Club Cafe

I suggest booking online for reservations. We booked for 7 PM but we got there an hour early and they were still able to seat us within 15 minutes or so. And you get to skip the line as well because there is a line for reservations and walk ins. My partner and I were celebrating something special on top of Thanksgiving! Alicia Fye (I believe her name was) was an excellent waitress! She was super cheery, helpful with recommendations and super generous by throwing in a little dessert to celebrate the occasion. She often checked in on us if we needed anything and I’d basically give her an equivalent of a Michelin star for service! The view of Coal Harbour was phenomenal and it was quite intimate as well. Food tasted amazing as well! Everything was delightful!

We went to Cactus Club Cafe for dinner and had a really good time. I ordered the butternut squash and mascarpone ravioli with prawns and it was delicious, super creamy and flavorful. We also had the blackened creole chicken which was juicy with a nice bit of spice. To drink we had non alcoholic margaritas which were tasty and refreshing. Our server was great and very friendly which made the whole experience even better. We got a table on the patio and it was perfect, nice vibe with good music and a relaxed atmosphere. If you go I would recommend the ravioli for something rich and the creole chicken if you want more spice. The patio is definitely worth asking for and the non alcoholic margarita was a nice option too. Overall a really enjoyable dinner.

We had an excellent dining experience here night before our cruise. The food was delicious and also had a very fresh and unique twist. The bathroom was kind of far away, but the music and the atmosphere was fantastic. Half the restaurant has a great view of the water.

A very busy restaurant. The food was delicious. The cocktails were great. If you don't mind a bit of noise, this would be a good choice. Reservations are recommended, otherwise you'll have to wait a long time for a table. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, great service! I went to happy hour and really enjoyed food and drink. I ordered avocado dips and sunset soda. Riza was very kind and professional. She friendly recommended drinks and I am satisfied in it.

My family and friends dined here the evening before our Rocky Mountaineer departure the next morning. We had a wonderful entry to Canadian cuisine in a relaxed setting overlooking the harbour. I thoroughly enjoyed my belini, ravioli appetizer, trout, and chocolate dessert. The service was excellent too making sure that we had an enjoyable experience. Whenever I visit Canada again, I will make sure to stop by the Cactus Club!

Every dish we tried was super tasty—everything was perfectly seasoned and served hot, straight from the kitchen. You can tell they really care about the flavors. The place is always packed. The vibe was really chill, and the view was beautiful, especially if you grabbed a spot near the water. The servers were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. It’s the kind of place that works for almost anything—catching up with friends, celebrating birthdays or anniversaries, or even hosting a small event. It's definitely a spot I’d come back to!

After an incredibly disappointing experience at the Cactus Club Yaletown location last year, we thought we would give the Coal Harbour location a shot! Our experience at this location was EXCELLENT. From the moment we arrived, the hostess (es) were attentive, friendly and the wait for our table was brief. Upon ordering, we were greeted by our amazing server Dani V. (bearing a striking resemblance to Oscar winner, Mikey Madison). From start to finish, she was super friendly, attentive, quick, efficient, hospitable, always checking in, and ensuring that we had everything we needed. Our appetizers and mains came pretty quickly - and overall, Dani was excellent. The food was delicious, fresh, and very tasty, as I always expect Cactus to be. But what made this visit outstanding was the service! Thank you to tonight’s (July 6th, 2025) staff and our server, for restoring our faith in this restaurant.

Great experience as always! Love the amount of TV's you have added in the lounge area to catch the game. Food and drinks were great and the service was next level! Was constantly asked before needing anything food or drink related!

Always a fan of cactus club food. Great variety and great taste The ambience is great for a date or even a team outing. The staff is really sweet

Food, view and service.. we hit the trifecta. We were seated inside with Sarah, who was a lovely delight as a Server. The crab spinach dip with fresh tortillas was so good I wanted to run my finger around the bowl like I did with my Moms brownies to get every last bit. My husband had the Butternut Ravioli with Prawns. I can't even describe how delicious it was, soft, sweet pillows of fresh ravioli with a yummy prawn atop. I had the Beef Carpaccio that was equally delightful. Don't miss this place

I had the poke bowl which was good. Kids had chicken fingers. Hard to mess those up. Service was great UNTIL it came time to get the bill. It took 20 min just to find out waitress to ask her for the tab. Looked like another table across from us had the exact same problem. It's a little loud but not terrible. The huge windows on the main dining room give an awesome view of the sound.

we came on july 3rd 8:30pm, the day of a convention next door. BUSY would be an understatement, we couldn't sit down and have a casual conversation for how loud it was. football playing on tv.100% wished i reserved for WATERFRONT dining. if not pls choose patio! SERVICE: our waiter was inconsiderate. busy hours are understandable but we waited 25 minutes and had to ask politely for our dishes to finally be served. (3/4 were alr done and we watched tables around us have appetizers served early on). waiter did ask how our meal was once. we gave them $7 in coins and they estimated it to be $2. we had to pull them back and ASK that they count correctly. we asked to pay partial in cash and the rest in card bc we needed to get rid of our canadian bills and they got irritated. actually FLUNG the receipt at us and said we didn't have to tip. took the bill and walked away. FOOD: FANTASTIC baja zesty tacos, the guac wasn't rly guac. maybe mixed w some ranch?? the butternut squash ravioli is apparently rated highly in all of vancouver. VERY BUTTERY, not very truffle, oily and mushy inside. flavor was phenomenal though. the MEDIUM MILLIONARE STEAK was okay. dry and i don't get how it pairs w shrimp? the fries and string beans mediocre. would not come back.

While in the area for a few days, The staff at the hotel recommended the Cactus Club Cafe, so we went for lunch. I requested an outside waterview seat and they found us the perfect spot. Arcacia is our server and was so amazing and friendly! Such wonderful knowledge of the area as well as the good and made some great suggestions. We shared the Tuna Temaki and then a green goddess salad and an order of the chicken tenders. Everything was delicious and fresh!

Went to this location of Cactus Club twice in the month of May and both times because I had visitors from out of town and wanted to take them to the go-to spot for Vancourites! I chose the coal harbour location because I love the view from there. Both times I requested to be seated by the water but since both times were during the weekend, it was full so they weren't able to give me the spot without a 30mins wait. I usually get their blackened creole chicken - I love it so much! Comes with mash potato, asparagus, and a brown butter that's melted on the chicken. I also tried their new summer drink - their slushy pina colada which was SOO good and I'm also a sucker for pina colada in general. My friend had their butternut squash ravioli and loved it! That is my second fav thing on their menu. I'll be back for sure!

I'm here for work and on one of my walks around the waterfront. I stopped off here spontaneously and got a lovely seat at the bar. The bartender could not have been nicer and she gave me guidance on some things I should order. I had the tuna temaka appetizer, which apparently is new to the menu and it was outstanding! I also had a Parmesan crusted chicken that had a delicious asiago cream sauce, mushrooms, and potato gnocchi, which I highly recommend. I can't really speak to the ambience inside the restaurant, but everything I experienced was positive.

Very nice decor and the staff are professional! The food is good here. My steak frites was cooked perfectly & kale salad was good. The Parmesan chicken had a great flavor & was cooked perfectly. It was served on gnocchi that was tator-tot sized & dense. But the sauce was enough to balance it out. Crème brûlée for dessert & it was wonderful. Drinks were just okay, not as much choice as I hoped, sangria & Bellini drinks which were just okay whiskey sour was just too sour for my taste.

Had a great experience. Hoped that the blinds were down to see the view but the sun would be in our eyes. Maybe a late dinner or lunch for the view. I came here with my parents, and we split a bunch of appetizers. The ceviche with scallops and prawns was delicious along with the lettuce wraps. What are the best lettuce wraps I've had. The sauces made it a little spicy which I liked. The yam fries were good, but your typical sweet potato fries And the wings were good but for being on vacation I would've replaced them and try something different such as the calamari. Cozy was our waiter. He was very sweet and attentive.

Great location, love the food, the staff were super accommodating. I got a delicious hibiscus mocktail. We had the avocado dip, crab dip, and pull apart bread. I wish I had taken pictures but I was starving! For my entree I had the Thai curry and the flavors were out of this world. It was so good.

Amazing place! Came highly recommended by our Concierge from Hyatt Regency. Excellent service. Excellent food. Mouthwatering. My steak was outstanding, medium rare. Cooked to perfection. Outdoor ambience was so relaxing. It was raining outside but toasty warm inside. Huge place too. Excellent drink menu. Huge selection to boot! Love this place. We will return and highly recommend. Cheers!

We're fortunate that our family brought us to this specific location. The place has a very vibrant and pleasant atmosphere. The staff are very well-dressed and pleasant. The food is definitely upscale compared to other chain restaurants. However, the price is reasonable. The view is amazing.

We LOVE this Cactus Club location!! I came here on a girls trip to Vancouver and we came to this location on our first night for a dinner with a nice, elevated atmosphere. Our server Hiba was so hospitable and even helped us with some questions we had about our trip. We came here a second time during the day for some light drinks and we were met with open hospitality once again with Nathan (and Hiba again). The food and energy here is SO good, i recommend all of the sushi rolls and other happy hour appetizers. Come here during happy hour and you will be hooked!!!!

so much for my no eating after 8:00 pm rule, we rolled in at 9:30 pm on a sunday and there were still people waiting for tables. we were told we could sit at the bar if we didn't want to wait, but not at the booths, and had to check in with the hostess for anything else. it was late night happy hour. we go to cactus club a lot. my partner likes the consistency, and this location overlooking coal harbour, skyscrapers, ocean, and mountains, might actually edge out english bay. bonus points for the seaplanes taking off and landing in the background. we started with a piña colada, which was thick, frosty, and refreshing. my partner ordered a longboard, but it came warm. he likes his beers cold. we asked for a glass of ice. our server, grace, was sweet and apologetic and offered a chilled glass, but not wanting to cause trouble, he declined. we didn't have the heart to tell grace the truffle fries were kinda soggy and the steak was tough, especially after the whole warm beer thing. normally, if there's an option to upgrade to truffle fries, my answer is always "hell yeah", but not here, and not tonight. they were missing that salty, crisp, golden fried magic. the side salad with the steak frites was light and well seasoned. the one bright spot: the tuna temaki. fresh, flavourful, and well balanced. my spouse was thinking about getting the calamari, and i was eyeing the desserts, but given the experience, we both decided against it. overall, this visit just missed the mark. service was kind, but the food didn't live up to the cactus club standard we've come to expect.

i was impressed the first time i went a few years ago and had to come back again and still had a good experience!! it was a nice day and we were seated outside and had a nice view for dinner! the wait for the food was decent the service was excellent and the food was delicious!

Great happy hour menu! Good vibes. Service was so-so, but it felt more like a cocktail bar than restaurant so made sense. Got the sugar free margs for $10, fries for $5, and seared salmon sushi roll for $15 (forgot to take pics of food oops).

The food was tasty and appealing to view! Service was amazingly quick and very efficiant. I was able to have a harbor view and totally enjoyed my experience in the BC. My margarita was a bit under par but was quickly corrected. As a bartender myself I am very ticky about my livations! Overall a great experience.

Food and drinks were delish. Waiter was super nice as well. View was amazing at night and sunset also very pretty. They were also accommodating in terms of seatings as we requested an outdoor spot. At first we were shown an indoor booth but a friend spied a table in the covered patio and asked to be seated there instead. We especially enjoyed their drink selections. The frozen and regular sangrias were great and we each had 2 of those. I enjoyed my salmon Caesar salad and my friends enjoyed their meal as well. Would definitely come here again.

Staying at a nearby hotel, the concierge recommended that we walk over and she said their food was "global". Right on the water with a beautiful view, we got seated right away, no waiting. You'll notice they have coat hangers at every table which is super smart, wish more restaurants would have them. Our server was fantastic! Her name is Iva. She got our drinks and cocktails brought over super quick. Ordered the citrus calamari and it was perfect. We had the spaghetti portofino and the butternut squash prawn ravioli and everything was amazing! Delicious food and great service. So glad we came here. Outside is nice for photos too. This place is a winner. Thank you to Iva!!!

The food was fine here and everything was really cool and the view was amazing but I just think the service show was super special. We had the best waitress she was super kind and very friendly. It's the kind of service that I wish I could find more of, but it's all over Vancouver but I have to give this place credit. They went above and beyond.

Before dinner we enjoyed cocktails in the bar area. The service was great and we really liked the atmosphere. We had a dinner that was arranged by Fresh Tracks and had a special menu to choose from. Our server, Hannah, was very efficient and got our meal started with a salad. My husband ordered the Salmon and I ordered the Filet medium rare. Unfortunately when our meal was served my steak was not medium rare. Hannah was super sweet and took it away and started a new order. Even more unfortunate was that when my steak finally came out my husband was finished with his meal. At this point I didn't even want it anymore. What a shame that a kitchen mistake can ruin your dining experience. We got our Key Lime Pie to go and it was amazing. I want to thank the manager that was very concerned about the whole situation and took care of our wine. I would go back, I just wouldn't order beef.

Had a great meal here on a recent vacation. Everyone enjoyed their meal, and the cocktails were delicious. Orders included, Chicken, baja fish tacos, bolognese. Would visit again

After enjoying an event at the Convention Centre, I decided to have dinner at Cactus Club in Canada Place, just a minute's walk away. On a busy weekend, we had to line up for a patio table, but the wait wasn't too long--about 10 to 15 minutes. Luckily, we got a nice patio table overlooking the ocean and the Convention Centre. Our group ordered chicken sandwich sliders, lettuce wraps, a poke bowl, and Baja fish tacos. The chicken sandwich sliders were three small deep-fried chicken burgers with pickles, onions, and lettuce. They were delicious and perfect for sharing with others. My favorite was the lettuce wrap. It had a Chinese-style twist with sweet and spicy Szechuan glaze, peanuts, wontons, Korean chili sauce, and spicy yogurt. It was delicious and one of the unique items on the restaurant's menu. The Baja fish tacos featured beer-battered cod, pickled cabbage, garlic mayo, avocado crema, and flour tortillas. The deep-fried fish paired really well with the pickled cabbage and mayo seasoning. I liked this dish very much. The poke bowl included sesame ginger ahi tuna, jasmine rice, mango, cucumber, avocado, edamame, ginger, and radish. This dish was supposed to include crispy tempura, but I couldn't find it--perhaps the menu has changed? It was just okay. This used to be my favorite dish, but somehow, it seems different from what I had a while ago. The notable points of this restaurant were the nice view and good location. I'll likely visit again, as it's one of nice patio restaurants in downtown Vancouver.

The drinks here are great, food is generally delicious, surprisingly they do green beans so well. Service is great and fast ambiance is nice although a busy location. Recommend their prime rib and creole fries tossed in honey.

This was the first restaurant I tried in Vancouver and it remains the best so far. The chicken was SO GOOD. The staff were extremely kind and helpful. The view is beautiful and the restaurant itself is really nice. I would totally come back if I ever find myself in Vancouver again. Highly recommend.

For what it is, this is a perfect place for tourists walking around the waterfront. It's huge, and yet still has a line out the door. We lucked out and our party of 2 got in within about 3 minutes for lunch. The wait staff is attentive and they don't seem understaffed. We tried their 'fraperol spritz' which looked great - and as an appetizer we had their hot chicken and pickles. Also had the Lemongrass Noodle Salad which had some thinly sliced serrano peppers in there - spicy fun! Also had the (3) baja fish tacos - beer battered cod. Adding a green salad made it just right. Cactus Club is a bit loud and has TVs on but muted (closed captioning would have been nice, but it's not universally expected). There's a lot of outdoor seating if you prefer that. Give them a try! All your expectations will be met.

I visited the Cactus Club in Coal Harbour during my trip to Vancouver for the Eras Tour, and it was incredible! This location stands out among all the Cactus Clubs I've been to--those harbour views are breathtaking, and the Swiftcouver sign was such a fun touch. I brought my aunt, cousin, and sister here for the Tuna Poke Bowl, which I've been dreaming about as it's been my fav meal since 2018! At first, I felt bad for not giving them a choice of where to eat, but they ended up loving it as much as I do and begged to come back! The tuna is always so fresh, the mango and sauce are perfect, and this dish is my absolute favorite meal anywhere in the world. Whenever I'm back in Vancouver--or anywhere with a Cactus Club--this will be my first stop. Highly recommend!

Came into this place after a long walk and we were in need of a drink. The bartender was friendly and the service was fast. The bathroom was very cool.

This was a perfect spot for us to enjoy lunch and looked hopping at night! Several options for sitting where your heart pleased- outdoors on the boardwalk, covered bar area, in tented areas, in the restaurant or bar itself with windows all around... very classy and upbeat interior. The staff were amazing, menu provided a variety of options without overwhelming you, and food was extremely fresh and shareable! Since we were attending a conference, we enjoyed delightful mocktails that were delicious, not too sweet, and on point!

Impressive service and flexibility. I loved the veggie bowl. Good for lunch and happy hour.

Oh my gosh we got in after traveling all day. All of us we super hungry. This food and drinks were excellent. Food was really good. I'm glad we found it on yelp.

Really enjoyed this place for lunch! Great menu options. Option of sushi, chicken, pasta, steak, tacos etc. Good portions for price. Location is great! Right on the water. Check out the washrooms. They were cool. Had a nice outdoor patio with heaters. Loved the chicken tenders and the blackened sandwhich ! Tofu bowl was also good. Service was okay. Didn't refill our waters much.

Back for happy hour second time this week, last time at the burrard location. Came in at 9p and was promptly seated once again. No wait at all. This location has more of a dining ambiance to it than a sports bar vibe like the last. The pressed sushi rolls were both very delicious. But, the chicken tacos didn't quite taste the same as the ones we had at the other location which were more flavorful and juicy with a kick to it. Not sure why but this was lacking and the chicken was a tad more cooked. Nevertheless, good but not amazing. Our server was very pleasant and sociable, but not as attentive towards the end. Caveat was that she stepped away for a bit, gave us a little too much time to finish our drinks. So we waited a while before we could ask to get the check. Still a great experience overall. Friendly staff, food is good and comes fast. Cactus has the best range of food selection for happy hour.

Amazing ambiance by the harbor with a fabulous selection of dishes & drinks served by experienced waiters (Keene) and friendly hosts. Thank you Fresh Tracks Canada for this suggestion!

Rainy day lunch with steak, frites, kale salad. Kale was surprisingly good. Steak done the way I liked it! Bring your walking shoes if you need the ladies room, it's a trek! Nice bottle of Auzzie Pinot noir, decent price too.

Great service. Was seated quickly for 4 people even after seeing a long line. The ambiance and drinks were delicious. Food was delicious! Ordered the steak and shared with hubby. Overall good experience !

Located right down the street from our hotel. Got seated right away and drinks came within 10 minutes. Very busy and a lot of people! Our food all came at once. I got the chicken sliders, one friend got the same, other one got the thai curry and the other got the steak and mushrooms. All enjoyed their food! Their happy hour starts @ 10pm for Friday-Saturday. Server was nice and accomodating.

OK - was NOT expecting this place to be amazing - but it was! First, we booked a reservation then decided to go early, so they sent us to the desk to get seated. It turned out we had booked the reservation for the wrong location (which they said happens all the time) and they were still able to seat us quickly, great service! Our server was upbeat and friendly, although a little busy so we didn't see her as often, but that wasn't enough to cost them anything in the rating. We ordered a bottle of wine (Circus Malbec, very nice), I got the steak frites and my wife got the truffle-parm chicken. The steak was really good, cooked perfectly (medium rare) and was very good. But the CHICKEN. Quite possibly the best chicken dish I've ever had. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned, the mushrooms and other ingredients were amazing and the sauce was perfect. It was an amazing dish. This place is downtown in Vancouver near the harbor, so it's got a touristy feel, but it is definitely a serious place when it comes to the food!

Waterside location near enough to hear the floatplanes fly in & out on a nice summer evening. Food was great and our table of four got little of everything to share on a Thursday evening.

I personally thought the food was good but wasn't amazing. I personally felt like their chicken tastes similar to other restaurants but not to say it was bad. The chips and dips were ok and the service took somewhat longer but it was a busy night. I really liked the dark atmosphere though and it wasn't too stimulating which was really nice.

Loved every minute of our visit at the Coal Harbour location. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere lively, and our server Emily was engaging! Highlights included the poke bowl, truffle fries, and I'm salivating as I type this...the incredible butternut squash ravioli with prawns (OMG)! Pretty impressed with the virgin mojito, as well! We'll definitely be back the next time we're in your amazing city.

Was visiting Vancouver and this restaurant was recommended to me. Great choice. The food and service were excellent. I had the tuna poke bowl, very good. Great views from the restaurant. Would definitely recommend.

This is my favourite Cactus Club Cafe location. There are many reasons this is my preferred location. The view is stunning, it is spacious, and it is known for having added items on the menu. A great example of this is the dine out menu this year. The service is definitely at industry standard. I have been here on several occasions. There were two occasions I chose this location specifically. The most current one was for dine out. My friend and I ordered different options to try the food items we desire. We started the appetizers with Hamachi Sashimi and crab cake. The sashimi was nice with the Serrano, yuzu ice. It was more of a carpaccio than a sashimi texture. The crab cake was also nice. For our main course, we tried the new menu items: grilled chimichurri steak and baked chimichurri steelhead. Both came with asparagus and mashed potatoes (steak)/rice (steelhead). Finally, we chose the peanut butter chocolate crunch and the New York Cheesecake for dessert. Both were amazing and a nice finish to a wonderful meal. I would say that for what you get, this cactus has great value. I'm glad we chose cactus for a girls' night dine-out this year!

This restaurant is a well oiled machine. Every dish over three days of going there just simply amazing. The wait staff on point every time. Next time I'm back in Vancouver I'll be back at the cactus club. Just amazing. !!

If you're looking for a great brunch or early dinner spot and you're in the area, look no further. However if you're a large group be sure to reserve ahead of time because the line can fill up quick. Once we got seated, our waiter took care of us in no time. She was super attentive with great recommendations. I was leaning towards pasta but the way she raved about the blackened chicken, I was instantly sold. While there were a few moments of doubt, once our food came out and I cut into it, she did not steer me wrong at all. It was nice she even brought us out shots and took time to congratulate the future groom on his soon to be wedding. Thank you all so much for the hospitality it was greatly appreciated!

From the hostess stand, through dinner and drinks and dessert your wait staff was excellent. They were all attentive, timely, informative and cheerful. Our waitress was excellent. We will return, and recomend the Cactus Club Cafe Coal Harbor again. We will also try your other locations due to the pleasurable experiences we have had at the Coal Harbor location. Thank you for a great evening

We came for their happy hour and it was overall a great experience. They take reservations, but we didn't have any and lined up for walk ins. The wait wasn't too bad on a Wednesday evening. It took about 5-10 minutes for a table in the lounge area. The restaurant is right by the water in a location with a beautiful view. I would recommend reservations to get a table by the window. The food was delicious with good portions. We ordered the truffle fries, salmon aburi roll, teriyaki chicken rice bowl, rigatoni bolognese, cheddar burger, and for dessert a cheesecake. The salmon aburi roll was very tasty with a nice smoky sear, although a little on the small side, but quite a few pieces. I thought the teriyaki chicken bowl tasted good, but it was a fancier version that my young daughter didn't enjoy. It was topped with raw vegetables: bean sprouts and some green/purple leafy veggies and also had mayo drizzled underneath. The truffle fries were well seasoned, crispy, and fragrant. I'm a big fan of bolognese and the rigatoni bolognese was delicious. It had a good amount of meat in the sauce with shredded Parmesan cheese and a piece of toasted bread. The cheddar burger was good and came with fries. The cheesecake had a nice graham crust with raspberry sauce. Service was attentive. I would definitely come back to this restaurant next time I'm in the area and make reservations so I can get a table with a view.

We went from the airport to this restaurant because of the reviews. They didn't have any reservations available and there was a line, but they got us in pretty fast. Burger and fries were good, not amazing. I wouldn't make a special trip there from the airport again for sure, but if I was in the area I would go there again. The ambience was nice.
