Elisa

We visited Elisa for the first time to celebrate my birthday. Overall it was a very good meal. One of the better meals we have had in Vancouver. The menu boasts some beautiful Canadian cuts of beef if you are meat lover. I enjoyed a ribeye special and carrots which were very tasty. My partner enjoyed the gnocchi. It looked beautiful, was a bit under seasoned perhaps but meant to be delicate flavours we thought. The portion size was a little small compared to my entire, especially as it was meant to be a meal. Our server was attentive when she was available. The service could be improved a little bit as there was a long period of time before a wine list was offered and drinks were ordered. By the time she came to share about specials we had been with the menu for a long time. Also a long time after our entrees arrived before we were checked on. Other than those critiques, a decent experience.

My second visit to Elisa and it was even better than the first time. Every dish was exceptional. It was fresh, delicious and beautifully served. We ended our meal with the baked Alaska and it was to die for. Eduardo made our experience great.

Our first experience here for a retirement and birthday celebration was excellent. We came on the recommendation of a new family member who used to work here. Overall 5 stars but our table was by the wine glasses and there were constantly people coming behind us to reach for glasses so would be nice if we had a wee bit more space around our table. Service was very good, professional so a little cool; a warmer smile and maybe more eye contacts would earn an excellent rating from me next time. And yes, there will be a next time!

We visited Elisa after hearing it was named the best steakhouses in Vancouver, and it truly lived up to the hype. From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the ambiance, such a spacious, elegant setting with an incredible selection of wines and spirits. The four of us shared the seafood plateau, the 30oz Blue Dot ribeye, the lamb rack, and some amazing sides, especially the 3 times cooked fries! Service was warm and friendly, thanks to Chelsea. A fantastic night out!

We celebrated my birthday at Elisa, and overall it was a lovely experience. We started with the giant white bean and vegetable soup. It tasted clean and healthy—not too thick or floury—which actually made it a great lead-in for the richer mains. For our main dishes, we ordered the Blue Dot ribeye and the grilled lamb rack. Both were excellent. The ribeye was very tender with a subtle charcoal flavor that enhanced the meat without overpowering it. The lamb rack surprised me the most—it was honestly one of the most tender and juicy lamb dishes I’ve ever had. It sat in its own juices, which intensified the lamb flavor in the best way. Everything about it just worked perfectly. Since it was my birthday, we also got a slice of cheesecake that came with a little candle—super cute. The cake was too sweet for my taste, but my partner really enjoyed it. Service was overall good, and the atmosphere felt more like a stylish bar, with a full wall of wine displays. I'm not a wine person, but the interior design definitely lifted the mood. My only complaint would be the pre-meal bread—it was cold sourdough, which caught me off guard. With their charcoal stove, I expected it to be served warm. Given the high price point, I did have higher expectations, so I’d give it 4 stars mainly because of the bread. But everything else—the food, the vibe, and the service—was excellent. If I could, I’d rate it 4.5 out of 5 overall.

Elisa Steakhouse in Vancouver delivers an exceptional fine-dining experience with its elegant ambiance, premium cuts of steak, and impeccable service. The sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere makes it perfect for special occasions, while the menu shines with expertly prepared dishes like the dry-aged ribeye, truffle mashed potatoes, and fresh oysters. The attentive staff and curated wine list further elevate the meal, ensuring a memorable visit. Reservations are highly recommended due to its popularity. A must-visit for anyone seeking a first-class steakhouse in Vancouver.

I loved everything about my experience except the steak. Excellent service, atmosphere, sides/appetizers and drinks. However I ordered the AAA black angus bone in rib eye cooked medium rare. Perhaps it was an unusual piece but most of it was fat (and not the marbling good kind of fat). The chewy you can’t-eat kind. I left about 30% of the steak on my plate discarded. For a $100+ steak and at a high end restaurant - this was disappointing

We planned to visit this place a long time ago. The Interior is excellent. Staff and service, oh man, it's top-notch. It is a steak house, and they are doing it wonderfully. I am not a steak expert who recommends what to choose from steaks. Once you come here, their servers will explain everything in so much detail that you will no doubt choose the best one. But what I personally recommend is Beef Wellington and...earl grey martini 2.0 cocktail. It's delicious. Drinks, atmosphere, food - this place is one of our favorites now.

**Yelp Review:** If you're a steak lover, you absolutely need to visit this place! I recently had one of the best steaks I've ever tasted here--perfectly cooked to my liking, tender, and bursting with flavor. The service was outstanding; the staff was attentive and genuinely friendly, making my dining experience all the more enjoyable. Additionally, the mixologist crafted some incredible cocktails that perfectly complemented my meal. The attention to detail in both the food and drinks is truly commendable. Overall, this restaurant is a must-try for anyone looking to indulge in a fantastic steak dinner!

The service is excellent. Attentive but not distracting. The food is great even for someone like me who is not that much into steaks. So, nothing to complain. The place is large and the set up so that families, parties and couples can all be there without feeling out of place. A rare find that ways. Top grade steaks, so expect top prices. Food highlights: Tear leaf salad - both pretty and tasty; perfect texture and light Scallops - just ok, may be on the counter a little longer so not that lively by the time it served, a bit salty but some would prefer that... so skip to the steaks Snakehead stirloin ribeye - great steak, something that is balance between meat and fat Bake alaska - pretty but standard affair in terms of taste, still kind of fun

We came here last night for date night and had an amazing time! The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We also really enjoyed the beautiful design of the restaurant. It was modern with that classic steakhouse kind of vibe. We ordered the Dungeness crab rolls to start, along with the classic steak tartare. The steak tartare was great, and was even better than some of the tartare we had in Paris! For mains I had the wagyu strip loin and it was incredible - very tender. My husband chose the aged ribeye and it was good but honestly not great. For sides we had the brussel sprouts and the onion rings - both very tasty and seasoned to perfection. Thank you Kellie our amazing server and to Elisa staff for making this a great night!

Friday night, good vibes and beautiful ambiance. Classy upscale steakhouse with great wine and champagne options. The steaks we ordered was cooked to perfection which was done exactly as we requested, medium with a little pink. Prime rib was so tender, and juicy. The 20oz rib eye steak $92 was very good. Truffle Mac n cheese and Brussels were awesome as well. I never tasted Brussels so velvety. The drinks were made well. Martini, wine and sparkling were all good. The bake Alaska dessert was ok. Overall, good experience on food plus our server was really sweet and provided excellent service. Will be returning to try other dishes in the future. Make reservations as they are always packed. **Don't forget to follow me on IG for more great foodie places to check out Follow...@Only1ChristineLu **

Celebrating my birthday at Elisa Steakhouse in Vancouver was an unforgettable experience! The restaurant's sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere set the perfect tone for a special evening. From the moment we arrived, the attentive staff ensured everything felt seamless and celebratory. We started the evening with the seafood tower, a show-stopping display of fresh, high-quality seafood. Every bite was exquisite, from the perfectly shucked oysters to the succulent lobster and crab. It was the ideal way to kick off the meal and felt like a true indulgence. For the main course, we chose the Wagyu beef, and it was absolutely phenomenal. The steak was perfectly cooked, with a rich, buttery texture that melted in our mouths. Each bite was a testament to the exceptional quality of the meat and the expertise of the chefs. The accompaniments were equally delightful, elevating the experience without overshadowing the star of the meal. To complement the food, we enjoyed expertly crafted drinks that perfectly matched the meal's flavors. The cocktails were as refined as the dishes, adding a touch of flair to the celebration. The staff made the evening even more memorable with their warm, attentive service, ensuring every detail was just right. Whether it was the thoughtful pacing of the courses or their recommendations on pairings, their care and professionalism added a special touch to the night. This birthday dinner at Elisa Steakhouse was everything I could have hoped for: incredible food, amazing drinks, and an atmosphere that felt both luxurious and inviting. It was the perfect place to celebrate, and I can't wait to return for another special occasion.

Wonderful high end steakhouse in Vancouver! Reservations are highly recommended and easy to make on their website. The interior is extremely modern and high end, but we were a little disappointed that another party was seated directly next to us (fairly close quarters) despite the restaurant being rather empty. The server was very attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. My cocktail was tasty and strong. The complementary bread was delicious and fresh. We had a shrimp cocktail and a Caesar salad to start. The shrimp was delicious, plump, and fresh with a tasty cocktail sauce. The salad was ok; the dressing had very little flavor. I had the 6 ounce Wagyu filet for my entree. Not as tender as I had imagined, but tasty and enjoyable. We had Brussels sprouts and hash browns for side dishes. Both were delicious particularly the hash browns which had a crispy exterior and tender potatoes. For dessert we had the baked Alaska. Perfectly sized for two and extremely tasty and surprisingly not overly sweet. Overall this was a very tasty high end steakhouse dining experience in Vancouver. I recommend it!

We celebrated a 19th birthday and an upcoming groom to be and the service, food and atmosphere were exceptional. The suggestions and recommendations were excellent and make our evening so memorable. One of the best restaurants in Vancouver.

Elisa is a well-known number 1 steak house in Vancouver. Make sure you make reservations at least a few days beforehand, or else you won't have a spot except maybe a bar seat. We ordered the seafood platter for two and 6oz Idaho waygu. Seafood is a good deal for $67, not sure for local, but it is definitely a deal for Toronto people. The platter has 6 oysters, cocktail shrimp, cured hamachi, tuna with avocado, and smoke salmon. The seafood is very fresh overall but the shrimp is a bit on the smaller side. The Idaho steak is a must to order. Great deal $65 for 6oz. Enough for us to share since we had a late and heavy lunch. We would come back for another meal if we stay longer in Vancouver. Keep in mind $21 valet parking is worth because it is hard to find parking in Yaletown.

LOOOOOOOOOOVE this restaurant. A friend and I picked Elisa as the restaurant to take my mother to for her early birthday celebration dinner (during our short visit to Vancouver) and I made reservations pretty much as soon as they became available online. Such an excellent ambience, and, as my mother said, those folks in the kitchen must be magical... because the ingredients and flavors they put together on each plate were so deliciously and wonderfully combined. I also love that dining is recommended as family style, so you order plates and sides for the table and then have the opportunity to share everything. Our server (who was lovely and answered plenty of our questions about the menu) specifically noted that each person could select their steak and then the kitchen would slice up each cut so that the individual cuts could be shared amongst the table. With that in mind, each of the 3 of us ordered a different cut of steak - from a different producer - and we asked that they be sliced so we could all individually try the various cuts. In the process, we were able to savor the nuances of each of the different steaks - the flavor from the aging, for example, or the different types of marbling. We also ordered 2 different types of oysters for the table, the roast sea scallops (with thai style salsa with tomato, chili, lime and cilantro), and split various sides, including the wild + foraged mushrooms, brussels sprouts (fried, brown butter, parmesan), and the mac + cheese (burgundy truffle, comté cheese). All were amazing... A++++++ to the kitchen staff, for sure! And whoever makes the creme brulee (with vanilla, salted caramel, apple, bergamot gel, dulcey crust)? It was divine. That dulcey crust beneath the custard (along with the classic caramelized sugar topping) was a delightful combination of textures and flavor. TL;DR. While this restaurant may be on the more expensive side, it's because dining here is an experience. Between the location in Yaletown and the efforts of all the restaurant staff? Elisa should NOT be missed.

standout restaurant for sure -- was in vancouver for a week and this place was a big recommendation so i stopped by on my first night after settling in the hotel. not too crowded for a weekday night with a classier ambiance, but standout was 100% the service. i've almost never felt as tended to as i was at elisa and i've been to plenty of finer dining establishments. staff was super friendly and receptive to my questions, made my first night one of the better ones. the steak itself was phenomenal (a little salty imo, but otherwise overall delicious and perfectly cooked). also came with a complimentary starter that was light and a nice preview to the night.

Great place with top notch service and stylish inside. Sadly, not a 5. Not the best at the dishes we tried and more expensive than comparable places. Dishes: - seafood plateau - beef tartare - bison tartare - sablefish - onion rings (side) - kagoshima a5 wagyu - crème brûlée The seafood dishes were generally really good. No complaints, but just better at some others for a comparable or lower price. The tartare wasn't spiced enough and the bread had a slight stale oil flavour. On the other hand, the Sablefish was oversauced. Wagyu was fine. Would have been even better with some grilling to get that melt in your mouth feel. Waitress was very good. Very attentive and had great timing. We let her know we had to leave at a certain time. Oddly though, when ordering wine, they didn't get us to try it first to see if we liked it. The one thing that really bothered us was that the hostess put our jackets on top of each other when it had been raining outside. Basically, it's good but not great value.

Food: Overall 5/5 -Scallops were cooked perfectly and tasted good with the tomatoes and sauce. On its own, it could use a bit more flavour -The steak was the star of the meal - it was cooked perfectly, had a nice crust and seasoned to perfection. The meat was really tender, had a good amount of fat and held juices really well. -Truffle mac & cheese was absolutely divine - so creamy so delicious. We were so full so we couldn't eat too much of it, but this is a must-get. -Brussel sprouts were good but not a must get. I would probably not order it again. Service 4/5 -Depends on your server tbh but our initial server wasn't so pleasant. We switched tables and got a great server who was very attentive and filled our water all the time. He was wonderful. Ambience: typical fine dining ambience

I can always count on Elisa to impress my out-of-town guests. This night was no exception, in fact, our server (Alex) left a lasting impression and his name came up several times later that week as the bar that was set for personable (and observant) service. Go for the Steak but try the Rabbit (Family Recipe) - Devine!! Can't wait to go back. Full on Gratitude!

It was a busy Sunday night. Our server was lovely but our food was on the slow side and came out 1 hr and 15 mins after we were seated. The bread basket was a let down. Cold, hard and very chewy bread. Tried the 40 day aged rib eye, branzino and 6oz of wagyu. Overall it was OK but not sure if it's worth the price. We came for a special occasion and glad we came, just not sure we would be back again soon. They offered to debone the fish which was a nice touch. The sides unfortunately were nothing to write home about but the desserts were beautiful and divine. The baked Alaska funnily tasted more like rum and raisin instead of banana which we were totally fine with. Ambiance was nice. Not too loud and great for larger groups.

Superb steak house. Must try the family style ordering of the various steaks. So many types and they do taste different. Deluxe menus, taste and ambience. Excellent staff service. Excellent wine selection

Stunning dining room. Steak dinner was very good but not record-breaking. Helpful guidance on the by-the-glass wine list, but it's not an inspiring selection. Please treat yourself with the cheesecake for dessert that is paired with the most delectable quenelle of Thai basil sorbet and pair with a glass of sauternes

Yet another amazing dinner at Elisa - it really is hard to top this place! Special recognition to Ricardo (and the front of house staff). Ricardo: you must be exceptionally proud of your team who function at such a high level so consistently. We wish to recognize Derrick (sp?) who served us this evening and whom we recognized in 2019 as being a truly exceptional professional in the F&B industry. Derrick - you were poetry in motion this evening - once again. Full marks to the exceptional kitchen staff - we have never had a bad meal at Elisa. Quite the opposite - they have all been exceptional. Warm regards, David & Sandy

Elisa is a treat, to be sure! Everything was great, and I'll definitely be back. The ambiance was lovely, the food was amazing, and the service was warm and attentive! The beef carpaccio was one of the best I've had in a lonnnng time. Perfectly balanced flavors. Our server, Chelsea, recommended the Prince Edward Island bone-in ribeye steaks for sharing and the Wisconsin striploin. We ended up ordering the Prince Edward Island "Vancouver-cut" bone-in tenderloin, the Wisconsin striploin, and the Miyazaki wagyu. They were all delicious. 3oz of wagyu for two was just enough as it's super rich. It really did feel like it melted in your mouth. I preferred the striploin because it was more flavourful, but the tenderloin was more tender. For the sides, we got the potato puree and broccolini. The potato puree was fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed how creamy delicious it was. The broccolini was good, too. Highly recommend the vanilla macarpone cheesecake for dessert! It was a little surprise in a way because it didn't taste like we expected. Chelsea was a fantastic server, and we really appreciate all her recommendations! It's in Yaletown, so expect 0 open spots nearby/on the street unless you're lucky.

I would go so far as to say this could be a flagship restaurant of this area of Vancouver! Beautiful interior and design. Getting a reservation wasn't too difficult (albeit on a Wednesday night) The drink was a little scant I got the Rosella it was perfect for me as it was very juicy and sweet/sour. The shrimp was very different than what I'm used to - absolutely sweet like how they say good shrimp is meant to be. Tender as well. Totally changed how I view shrimp cocktails. The salad was fresh but could've had a little more zing to the dressing. The sides of hash brown potatoes and Brussels sprouts were all good. I enjoyed my ribeye. I didn't think I could finish a 10oz but it was very rich and delicious I couldn't let it go to waste. The baked alaska made by the in house pastry chef really showed that someone who cares a lot made it. Had so much complexity to the flavor and textures. Presentation as you can see in the photos show how stunning it is as well. Service was super friendly and professional. She really knew the wines by heart as well as how all the meats will be and what goes with what. A stellar dinner through and through. If you're ever in Vancouver make it a point to go here

Vancouver Magazine hyped up this place as the best steakhouse in Vancouver for 2023. Well, is it? Is it worth parting your hard earned cash approximately 200$/ person (at the time of writing)? I really really really want to like this..... Of the things we ordered, following is a list from the best tasting to the least: 1. Mac and cheese 2. Cheesecake 3. Gluten-free bread 4. Seafood plateau 5. The drinks; mule and spritzer 6. Strip loin 14 oz double r ranch, okanagan, washington signature bone-in striploin 40 day dry aged 14oz 7. blue dot, prince edward island potato and grass-fed bone-in rib-eye 20oz That's right their mains, the calling card, are actually their worst tasting items. Here's why, both were cooked medium rare, which under the normal circumstances would be fine but there were so many tendons in them, rendered inedible. Plus the knives they gave us were as dull as the butter knife. At some point it was impossible to cut. We end up throwing 1/3 away. I overheard a waiter saying they use beech and applewood for the fire oven. Not a big fan of those woods. The slight acidity and excessive sweetness do not go well with the flavour of the steaks. The flavour just seems to sit outside the steak. And man, would you please char the steaks more? The outside is almost as rare as the inside. Also the steaks are so bland. At the minimum they should have some salt and pepper shakers on the table. Anytime when your partner who doesn't even cook can make better steaks with a conventional gas stove better than Elisa, we have a problem. 200$pp is definitely not worth it.

Incredible evening 5 stars across the board. Brad our server is a Superstar Guided our whole meal and made it special for my daughter and I. Highly recommend

This is the best steak experience in Vancouver! Loved the recommendations and the wine pairings. Brilliant staff.

Smoked Bison Tartare Beef Carpaccio Dinosaur Kale Caesar Salade Sauteed Mushroom Holstein Dairy Cow Striploin .... just some of my recent favourites.

Fantastic food and incredible service! Really happy with our experience. Will definitely come back. Special shoutout to Eduardo. His suggestions were fantastic and made our experience memorable. Just a super nice person.

First class meal, service and ambiance. Clair is obviously doing an amazing job as operations manager. Our waiter Eduardo was professional and a delight. Cocktails, oysters, prawns, steaks, caesar salad, hash browns and onion rings were all a 10. Perfect evening.

Food - 4/5 Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Value - 4/5 Would I go back? - Yes Atmosphere and service is top notch, can not ask for a better experience. Located in yaletown with an open dining room and comfy seating. Our waitress was extremely attentive and helpful. While busy that evening, we did not feel we had to ask for anything, we felt very well looked after. The food is definitely on the higher end side, but for the location and what you get, it's worth it. We started with their smoked bison tartare, hamachi crudo and Cesar salad. The smoked bison tartare stole the show for the evening. It was Smokey, flavourful and tender at the same time. So good that I can just order 2-3 of them and call it dinner. We then had the roast dinner which they only do on Fridays, Saturday and Sunday. The steak was tender but not as flavourful as I had hoped. It was a big portion for $70 is which a great deal. We also had a side order of onion rings which were quite nice and reminds me of the onion rings that red Robin does. We finished off with a baked Alaska, which was meticulously pipped with the meringue and torched. Although I would prefer to have some table side theatrics for the ceasar salad and baked Alaska.

Made a reservation for 6 for my brother's birthday and we were all impressed by the food, service and ambiance. Starting off with drinks - delicious cocktails and wine. We ordered a few appetizers to share. The seafood plateau was nice, and we enjoyed the assortment with salmon, tuna tartare, oysters and cocktail shrimp. The kale salad was presented nicely but it was just ok - it was very finely chopped but lacked some depth. The tartare trio was nice to share and I loved the three different profiles with the chips. Onto the main special - the 50 oz tomahawk steak. It does take an hour to prepare. Appreciated our server showing us the whole steak before slicing. Cooked perfectly medium rare, and they gave us an assortment of salts to add if needed. Stunning. For the sides, we got the risotto special, broccolini, roasted potatoes and brussel sprouts. Risotto was amazing and so creamy. If I could go back, I would skip the potatoes. All the other veggies were great. Had to get dessert as well. We got the baked Alaska, cheesecake, crème brûlée and chocolate cake. Beautifully plated. The baked Alaska was so unique and delicious - one of my favorites. The crème brûlée was also amazing. Appreciated the complimentary macarons and extra desserts that we got to take home.

Service was phenomenal. The food was delicious and their Incandescent cocktail is to die for. The ambiance is upscale but comfortable. I didn't feel out of place wearing jeans. My teenage daughter loved the gnocchi. I shared the porterhouse with an asparagus side and butter lettuce salad. It was all amazing. A definite must try.

Elisa Steakhouse never fails to impress! The bone-in Ribeye is a standout dish that I always look forward to. The servers are consistently professional, friendly, and attentive, making every visit a pleasure. It's no surprise that we often run into familiar faces - great taste in restaurants clearly brings people together! While I haven't brought my kids yet, seeing other families enjoying themselves has me thinking it's time to introduce them to this wonderful dining experience. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it - you're sure to have a memorable time! -Dine out Daily Fam-

Was here last night for a birthday celebration. Ambiance is very very nice and modern. There are long tables for bigger groups, small tables for 4 and diner type scoot in sections which are perfect for parties sharing food. Our server was very graceful and nice. She's attentive too. We started with two rounds of raw oysters - very very fresh - kusshi and beausoleil. We'll, I have a soft spot for oysters . Then moved to our mains - three cuts of meat: tenderloin strip loin and rib eye cooked medium rare. Also got an order of crispy cauliflower and grilled sea bream. We had Brussels sprouts, mac and cheese for sides. Disappointing to say that everything was good except for the steaks. It was underwhelming. And because it was cooked medium rare, strip loin cut had tendons that I can't cut through. They could have added a bit of seasoning and char the meat a tad bit. We had it grilled a second time and now it had lost all its glory - I can't taste the seasoning at all this time. They were careful not to overcook the steaks but it didn't make the list again. The sea bream was very good - skin was crisp and seasoning tasted perfect. Cauliflower and Brussels sprouts were very good too. I couldn't taste the truffle in the mac and cheese though.

Loved the ambiance and vibe. Bradly our server was legit amazing. Really appreciated the quality of service and attention. It's rare. And so appreciated. The baked Alaska - TOP notch Sablefish was yummy Steak was amazing

Very beautiful atmosphere and great service. They get 5 stars for service because I loved our waiter he really took care of us checked in on us and even went above and beyond when he had a feeling my friend didn't like how her Caesar drink was made he came and insisted that they remade it to her liking because it's really a hit or miss with Caesar's some people like it spicy some are bitter from the Worcestershire. He was amazing! I would come back for the ambience and the service as well as the following items I loved: Cured hamachi 10/10!!! So light so refreshing it honestly would have even tasted just as good if not better had it not been cured and just raw

Elisa is a restaurant I'd go to for different kinds of steak that I can't/don't normally have access to or cook. Hubby and I came for our anniversary dinner. They started us off with comped champagne which was a nice touch to make the night more memorable. The waitress walked us through the different meat options and their differences. We started with appetizers. The Yellowfish Tuna Tartare came with a side of chips and was delicious. The Beef Carpaccio on the other hand was just OK. I like their Holstein Striploin. The way Elisa grills it over wood gives it a nice wood char flavor. Its tender and the meat has a creamier profile; I'd get this again. Hubby got the Blue Dot PEI Rib-Eye, and it tasted a bit gamey to me. He liked it but I preferred my steak better. To end the meal, Elisa surprised us with Petit Fours for dessert when the bill came. Again, a nice gesture and the desserts were a great finisher to a decadent meal. As for parking in Yaletown, its a bit of a pain. If you don't mind a 5min walk, there's a parking garage on Davie and Marinaside Crescent.

Great food, I had the lamb as suggested by Luka, our server who took great care of us. The lamb was amazing, as were all of the appetizers and the dessert. The prices are expensive, but for the service, atmosphere, and quality of food that you get it is well worth it if you're looking for a fancier dinner.

We ordered a variety of dishes. We started out with the hand-cut beef carpaccio. It was not bad and actually had a good amount of truffle shavings on top. They also offered complementary bread to start. We ordered the 50oz tomahawk and one of their rib-eyes. I couldn't remember which rib-eye but we went with whichever the server suggested to us. Both steaks were cooked to perfection. I preferred the rib-eye a little bit more since it had more flavour. But both actually tasted really good. The server suggested we order at least four sides to share. We tried their Mac + Cheese, Risotto, Brussel Sprouts, Wild + foraged Mushrooms. The portion size of the brussel sprouts and wild mushrooms was actually quite small. But since we had ordered two big steaks, we were so full afterwards that we almost struggled to finish our food. I think we should have ordered just two or three sides at most. We came here to celebrate a birthday which I mentioned on the reservation but they must have forgotten about it because there was no candle or greeting on the dessert we ordered. We were so full at the end of their meal but wanted to try their Baked Alaska and I'm glad we did. It looked great and tasted yummy as well. Definitely a must try there. Overall, good steak with great ambiance. Service was just okay, nothing to write home about.

Noisy ambiance, food is pleasant but definitely not amazing or memorable. The mac & cheese was underwhelming. Burrata is good but not especially fresh. Waygu is decent but nothing too special. For steaks, I would prefer Hy's more. The salmon is mediocre, but the onion rings are nice. Nothing is memorable really. It was a birthday celebration too so they did offer a plate with a candle that says 'happy birthday', literally on a separate plate (dessert not complimentary). which is kind of weird lol In short, we won't be back.

My friend and I managed to snag a late night, last minute reservation through our hotel and I was particularly pleased with this recommendation. I have a soft spot for steak houses and I really enjoyed this one. It was laid out in such a way that it was easy to people watch but constructed such that it wasn't easy to overhear conversations. I really enjoyed that quite a bit! Our waitress was delightful. She was charming, personable, honest, and gave solid recommendations. When my friend asked about the duck she was blunt with her assessment of the preparation which was great since our waitress's complaints would have been dealbreakers for my friend. We both ordered the filet (tenderloin on the menu) and where were diverged was I ordered it chef's preparation choice and she ordered it medium rare. Mine came out rare and the taste difference was startling. Whereas my steak sung a chorus of flavor hers came across average. We both marveled at that difference. The oysters were delectable. The potatoes were the only thing to fall flat for me because I found them to be not nearly as flavorful as I am used to from high end steak restaurants. I know it's the entree that is supposed to shine and it did but the potatoes were fairly basic. The cocktails were smashingly delicious!

I'll start off with the ambiance of this restaurant and the aesthetic which are both very thought out, luxurious, intimate, and warm. This is a perfect spot for a date night or even a business dinner. You will impress whoever you are taking there are no questions about that. Their bar is also awesome looking with probably every liquor you can imagine. Their wine list might be one of the biggest wine lists I've seen at a restaurant. The service is impeccable throughout the whole 2 hours we are dining here. The food; We started with the seafood plateau (I believe it was called) it was the smaller version of the seafood tower. Since it was just my girlfriend and I we were very impressed with how much seafood actually came on this plate. You got to taste every seafood item on the menu they offer which was a great touch. The tartar, the prawns, the yellowtail, the oysters everything was 10/10 so fresh and delicious. I honestly wish we got the tower because everything was so delicious you wanted more. For the main course we got the big bone in ribeye that was dry aged, the fries, and the broccolini's. Everything here was also delicious the only thing that could've been a little better is the cut of ribeye itself. It had quite a bit of tendons in it which is something you wouldn't expect with such an expensive cut of meat at a steakhouse. That's the only reason I gave a 4 out of 5 stars other than that everything was excellent.

Decided to try this place for some steak with a couple of friends so we can try more food from the menu. The interior and ambience was amazing with the color combination hitting my aesthetic perfectly. We ordered the beef carpaccio and the tartare trio to start and the veal tartare is my favorite among the three. For steak, we had the pine haven, american black angus, and the beef wellington. The pine haven was top of the list, loved it with the peppercorn sauce. We wanted to try the beef wellington as it may be hard to make at home, but it was only adequate comparing to the other steaks. Will definitely come back next time to try out some other cuts.

My husband and I came to Elisa to celebrate our honeymoon & 10 year dating anniversary. The staff was so kind (shout out to our waiter Brad, he was the sweetest thing), our food was amazing and the ambiance was fabulous making it the perfect spot for anyone looking for a great dinner!

we had so much fun here. the wine list is amazing. the cocktails were unique and super good. the server was very knowledgable about the menu and spent about five minutes explaining the meats, where they are from, and how they are prepared. the steaks were cooked perfectly and the sides were pretty unique. we tried all the sauces with the steaks, and they were good pairs. the music was hip and different from most steak restaurants, so that was nice. overall, great place.

Probably the best ribeye I've had in many years. Although the service at the bar wasn't very friendly. Maybe service at a table would be better? As expensive as this place is, one would hope that the service would be as good as the food.

Perfect evening! The food was fantastic, the drinks were great and the server was awesome!

food is some of the best i've ever had service was amazing, loved leama the restaurant itself is very nice on the inside. little louder than i was expecting but still loved

Always the best. Excited to have our same wonderful waiter again here for my son's 30 birthday. When we told our waiter it was his 30 on the 30 he brought us some bubbly to celebrate! We began with the tuna tartare which is always good and comes with thin crispy potato thins. A Caesar salad is another good beginning. I had my usual lobster. We also had two kinds of wagyu and a small tenderloin steak. As well the short ribs which were fall off the bone excellent. For sides we had the potato gnocchi and truffle Mac and cheese. We finished wht the chocolate lava cake with salted caramel ice cream. Sean, our waiter remembered us from our last time and was wonderful and gave us fantastic service

We had a fantastic birthday dinner at Elisa. We ordered bluefin tuna tartare, crispy spring rolls, 4oz wagyu beef, as well as beef Wellington. Loved every single dish, but the all star is of course the Wellington. Service was attentive yet relaxed. We were as happy as a clam.

Everything about Elisa is truly 5 star! Food, service, wine list and ambiance are exceptional. Management Team of Clair Hettich and Ricardo Ferreira are truly caring and personify what the ultimate Elisa brand wants to be!

I'm been to Elisa several times, there food is so good and there services is amazing highly recommended

I had a pleasant experience here taking an out of town friend to one of the most talked about steakhouses in Vancouver. Overall, I didn't think it was lifechanging, but the food and drinks were certainly well done. Our waiter and the staff at the desk were very accommodating and showed us great hospitality. I liked how the waiter had time for interpersonal communication and some small talk with us despite being so busy with other tables, and that made such a great impression. I appreciated the flexibility in being able to switch from a indoor table to one on the heated patio, as well as the coat check. Shoutout to the sommelier for having such an extensive wine list to peruse through, and you're going to need several minutes for sure to look through the textbook. My friend and I got the Bethel Heights 2018 Pinot Noir as a bottle and it was a very easy drinker type red for me, who enjoys wine appreciation but doesn't drink reds often. It had a lovely magenta, violet color and an aged, fruity palate without being overly smoky. The cocktails were alright and the Charring the Cosmos was really good, with my friend wanting to recreate it at home. I did enjoy how the meats embodied the woody flavours of the grill, but I actually remember giving props to how well done the sides of brussel sprouts and foraged mushrooms were. That was the star of the meal for me. The washrooms are amazing btw.
