Hy's Steakhouse & Cocktail Bar

Seating is limited to the upstairs while the main floor is undergoing renovations. The ambiance is modern and chic. The service professionals are exactly that. Andrew took care of us as we didn't even look at the menu. We started with cheesy cheese bread which was definitely cheesy but more like a a fancy grilled cheese sandwich. The ceasar salad prepared at the table was old school and classic. The thirty two oz prime rib was delicious and cooked perfectly, while the mashed potatoes and roasted mushrooms were tasty but not overwhelming. The presentation of my plate was nothing special. Dessert was rich, velvety and tasty. Coffee was adequate. Overall the service (Andrew) was excellent and the food was tasty. Prices are more on the higher side but not shocking. I would most likely return when the main floor has reopened.

Went in for a solo night and it was EXACTLY what I needed. Point blank. It was a classic, cozy, dim lighting, and instantly feels like a treat. I ordered a mezcal sour (my go-to) and it was perfection…froth all over my lips and everything LOL!! You know it’s good when you take a delicious sip and instead of got milk, it’s got froth? HA love! Food was incredible too. Steak cooked just the way I like it, and the whole plate was just so satisfying. But honestly, the service is what made the night! Blown away by the outgoing, genuinely kind, and they checked in a lot without it ever feeling annoying. They made eating alone feel easy and actually really enjoyable. Nailed it Hy’s!!

We had the most incredible experience at Hy's Steakhouse & Cocktail Bar celebrating my brother’s birthday! From the moment we walked in, everything felt special, warm atmosphere, attentive service, and amazing food. Chris, our server, was fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole night feel effortless and celebratory. Truly top-notch service. We shared a variety of dishes and every single one was outstanding. The famous cheese toast absolutely lived up to the hype, and the Caesar salad prepared right at the table was such a fun (and delicious) experience. The black & blue ahi tuna was perfectly done, and the jumbo prawn cocktail was fresh and full of flavour. For mains, the long bone Berkshire pork chop with mashed potatoes and bourbon apple reduction was unbelievably tender and rich (photo added!), and the 8oz filet was cooked to perfection. We finished with the bananas foster, flambéed tableside and served with vanilla ice cream, which was the perfect sweet ending. I also had the Red Beret to drink and it was amazing, highly recommend! Everything from the food to the service to the overall atmosphere made this such a memorable celebration. We’ll absolutely be back!

Came here after many years. It’s still a dark dungeon of a restaurant with no light or windows. Service is great, food is well prepared and on point. The rack of lamb is حالال. Sides and desserts are good. It is too pricey overall for what you get. I’d prefer Elisa or Black and Blue if I had a choice. The Whistler Hy’s is on another level compared to this location.

I've been to Hy's twice now and they've never disappointed. A warm, lively, intimate atmosphere, exceptionally polite, informative and skilled waitstaff (more on that later) and a wide selection of delicious entrées. The tableside preparation is a unique and exciting option, as waiters here will literally make your meal right besides you. I recommended the caesar salad, steak Diane and the bananas foster in particular. The drinks are quite varied as well and I particularly enjoy their takes on classic cocktails. The best restaurant for steak in Vancouver!

We decided to have the whole old-school dining experience at Hy’s steakhouse and it didn’t disappoint. We got their classic cheese toast which was quite addictive and yummy, the caesar salad and Steak Diane prepared tableside (quite the pre-dinner entertainment by themselves), the Steak Neptune , Cream Spinach and a nice bottle of red to go with the meal. Benjamin who was assigned to our table was very attentive and professional and he also prepared the two tableside dishes perfectly. The salad and especially the Diane steak were delicious! The bill was hefty but worth it for a special occasion.

Hy’s Steakhouse delivers an exceptional dining experience where the food and atmosphere feel equally considered. The steaks are not simply well prepared, they are perfectly broiled with a level of consistency that’s difficult to match. Beyond the cuisine, the space itself carries a timeless nostalgia, with rich dark accents and an ambiance reminiscent of a classic New York steakhouse. Elegant, understated, and quietly confident, this is hands down one of the best steakhouse experiences in the city.

Hy’s Steakhouse delivers a classic fine-dining experience done right. The steaks are perfectly cooked, rich in flavor, and clearly high quality. Service is attentive without hovering, and the atmosphere feels timeless elegant, calm, and ideal for a special evening or business dinner. Everything runs smoothly here, from the first greeting to the last bite. A place that knows exactly what it is and executes it consistently well.

This is my third visit to Hy's, and I am glad I finally get to give this place a review. There are a lot of new and trendy steak restaurants in Vancouver, but Hy's is one of the longstanding giants. They have been around for a very long time, and I think their prestige is quite hard to match. It's not a trendy restaurant but rather, more of a sophisticated traditional setting. I brought my boyfriend here for his birthday, and since it was his first time trying Hy's, we had to go down the route of ordering all the classics. Our server, Dan, was phenomenal. He was funny and candid throughout the meal and did a great job preparing the tableside Caesar salad and beef tartare. Both dishes contained similar ingredients but tasted unique on their own. The way the ingredients interact brings various sweet, salty, and tart flavour profiles that dance together splendidly in your mouth. Since all the ingredients are eyeballed, no two dishes taste the same, and there is beauty in that, as you get something authentically different every single time. Cheese bread was a must - an absolute classic. Soft, delicious, and cheesy every single time. For mains, we decided to share the porterhouse. Being a small eater when it comes to steaks, I figured 22oz was going to be enough paired with mash and a side of candied carrots. The steak was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. My boyfriend does not enjoy vegetables, but surprisingly liked the carrots. The service was extremely smooth, with food arriving quite quickly and regular check-ins from Dan. For dessert, we opted for the Belgian chocolate bourbon cake. It was rich, decadent and quite sweet. We took our time with the dessert as my boyfriend dusted off his second drink and designated me as the driver for the night. Overall, it was a seamless experience, but most importantly, it managed to satisfy my meat snob boyfriend on his birthday. Hy's did a great job taking care of us, and although I do not live in the tax bracket that allows me to come here regularly, it makes a wonderful treat every once in a while.

My boyfriend made reservations in celebration of my birthday, I must say I was pleased. As we walked in I was wow'ed. I felt like I walked into a room filled with history, It was beautiful! The tone is immediately set. The lights are dimmed, the walls seemed like they had an oak finish which I absolutely loved! There was also a bar near the entrance that added a touch of elegance. It was thoughtfully located, perfect if you want to start with a cocktail while you wait to be seated. Now let's get to the real reason why you're reading this review- the food. After reading reviews we decided to go with the infamous cheese bread that everyone praised. It was DELICIOUS! That was some really good cheese bread. Now, on to the main entree's: my boyfriend settled for the 22oz porterhouse steak medium rare (drooling), while I humbly ordered the steak & lobster; best of land and sea as described on their menu. Their Canadian Prime Filet Mignon served with a broiled Atlantic lobster tail and lemon butter!!! My boyfriends porterhouse was made to perfection he paired It with classic French fries. My steak was made well but lacked a little flavor. I like my steak medium rare however, my steak was a tad bit over cooked. My lobster was good but I've definitely had better. The butter was a nice touch as it should and honestly speaking It lacked salt, food with out a hint of salt is just bland. My entree came with mashed potatoes, they were fluffy and tasty. Two thumbFor dessert.

The General Managers, Mr. Chris Landrige and Mr. Vincent Leroux, personally communicated with us and took our experience very seriously. They generously offered us a gift certificate to return to the restaurant. My friend and I gladly accepted and enjoyed a wonderful afternoon during happy hour. The burgers, shrimp rolls, scallops, and cocktails were all delicious. The ambiance was consistently cozy, and the staff was attentive and welcoming throughout our visit. We highly recommend their happy hour and truly appreciate the professionalism and care shown by the management.

Awesome dinner!! Table side Cesar salad is amazing. Steak was great and the service was amazing. We were there for a conference and had dinner here....Top notch. Really cool decor and great.

Amazing rib steak. It was cooked perfectly! Can easily taste the quality of the Prime Grade beef. We also enjoyed the table side service, Caesar Salad. Great presentation.

We walked in without a reservation on a very busy Saturday evening and we were immediately seated upstairs in the bar by the lovely hostess. The ambiance in the bar was very nice and we felt welcomed and relaxed. I enjoyed a drink and we each ordered a steak. Our food was brought out in no time and everything was absolutely fantastic! Cooked perfectly. Probably one of the best steaks I've ever had. I've been trying to replicate it at home because I can't stop thinking about it. Service was top notch. I can't wait to return on our next trip to Vancouver.

Like its sister restaurant, Gotham Steakhouse, Hy's offers a terrific afternoon happy hour in its bar. You can get a multi-course feast of snacks, cocktails, and wine for well under $200 per couple, which is much less than lunch or dinner here. We started with the prawn cocktail, four large and very fresh prawns served with an excellent cocktail sauce. The we had the "famous" cheese toast, which is butter-grilled with a layer of cheese on top, and served in aluminum foil to keep it warm. Our mains were the mini lobster rolls, which came on grilled feather-light brioche, and the prime rib sliders, the most substantial dish. Each slider included a wonderful onion ring, encouraging us to make a note to order onion rings as a side next time. In addition to the great drink prices such as 40% off sparkling wines during happy hour, the dessert menu prices are also very reasonable. We had tableside Bananas Foster and Irish Coffee. Both were prepared in true classic fashion. We received superb service from Antonella. The bar area is cozy, with only a few tables, but I think I like the ambiance at Gotham's larger bar better. But both are excellent choices for an afternoon meal.

The service and atmosphere was amazing! Great experience. Our server was professional! The food was decent. Wellington was in need of a little more seasoning but steaks were tender! The bathroom (I used before leaving) had pee all over the floor. The gentleman who used it before me left the seat up and didn't flush Overall it was a a good experience but steaks tho tender could have more flavor!

Taking my family here for their first time. Reservations made with ease with a phone call prior to confirm and text which was great for reminding. Meter parking available in front, near the restaurant and meter parking lot available too around within walking distance nearby. Greater upon entry with coat check in available. Seated and helped by Jeff for the evening. He was great in talking to and personable but respectful of our private time for dinner. Drinks - * Sun Spritz * Purple Reign * Caribbean Coast Appetizers - * Crab Cake * Bread Cheese Toast (highly recommended) * Caesar Salad (fresh table side made) Entrees _ * Bone in Rib Steak 20oz * Filet Steak 8oz * Featured dinner of the night with Trio steaks sampler (3oz of filet, rib & NY) with prawns Intimate, quiet and nice atmosphere experience.

My favorite place for steak in Vancouver. My review from years ago still holds up. A classic. Excellent service from Benjamin last night. Romantic date night location a classic.

Best meal we had in Vancouver! Ambiance, low lighting, romantic and many options to choose from. Hurray 29th Wedding Anniversary Sophia did a fantastic job explaining menu. Scallop, Steak, Lobster and Banana Foster- Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our dinner here in downtown Vancouver! Started off with their famous cheese toast and escargot, both of which were rich and satisfying. My wife and daughter both ordered their halibut special that was prepared well and came with delicious prawn risotto. I had their filet a la Hy's which okay, it's basically a good pot roast. Finished with their key lime pie that was light and tart, but the crust was a tad overdone and hard to break. Our server Kevin was welcoming and attentive, and had lots of good suggestions for us for our appetizers and dessert. He patiently explained the menu items and how they were prepared, and brought our drinks quickly. He made our daughter's birthday dinner extra special. As far as ambiance if you like that dimly-lit underground gangster vibe then you'll feel right at home. Personally I like that with steakhouses and we were seated at a corner table in the back where we could people-watch.

Hy ended up being my second steakhouse visit in Vancouver after a disappointing first stop elsewhere (which traumatized me for a bit); alas, traditions demand I eat steak and drink red wine for my birthday. Fortunately, this was a pretty nice experience in comparison. The steaks were properly cooked as requested, the mashed potatoes were smooth, and the cheese bread certainly lived up to its hype. The tartare was slightly disappointing; however, I would say that the extensive wine list and quality of service made up for it.

Very mediocre and kinda disappointing. To give the context: we came to celebrate my birthday, my husband put it in the notes when he made the reservation. The hostess wished me a happy birthday when we came in, then our waitress asked whose birthday it is and I said mine. About 4 other people around us had a birthday, all of them got a dessert with a candle except for me. When I went to the restroom husband talked to our waitress and she said she didn't know we had a birthday (how is it possible if we had a conversation about it right as we sat down and we ordering drinks?). She ended up bringing is CRUSHED CHOCOLATE and a candle and said "here's some after dinner chocolate for You" what the hell is that? So all the other guests get dessert and I get chocolate- very interesting customer service. Now let's move onto food: Super famous Cheese toast is nothing special just bread with cheese Table service ceaser salad was quite delicious I got filet mignon steak which was delicious My husband got a ribeye and it was terrible, first time it was burned and so over salted it was impossible to eat and we asked them to redo it. Second time it was better, but still way too salty. We also tried table service banana foster (since we didn't get a birthday dessert) which was delicious. Overall this restaurant is not worth it, the quality of the food and service does not justify the high price.

Went here for the first time a few weeks back, and it was a great experience. Our server was very polite and gave good suggestions on different items to try. The food was delicious and everything came out at a good time. Definitely recommend this place is your looking for some good appetizers and a good steak.

Very good food and service. Good job Dan!Good steak, chocolate milk, and cheese toast.

Absolutely Impeccable ! My Bestie and I went for supper it was absolutely hands down the BEST I have ever had. I am a stickler for service and our wonderful waiter was Andy. We will be asking for him again ! I like salt my best friend does not - I was absolutely amazed at how I went completely salt free during this mean a FIRST. My friend also said the seasoning was just "perfect" WOW how both of us with different tastes were completely satisfied ! THAT I consider a work of art from the Chef. The food, the ambience especially the service was impeccable. The food was absolutely perfect, appetizers the world famous cheese toast (this is an absolute MUST), we had shrimp cocktail and garlic shrimp, main courses (chicken for me, my friend had the steak and lobster) dessert bananas foster and key lime pie. You want somewhere perfect this is the place to go. We will be back very soon and again MANY thanks to our Server Andy - This gent is a ROCKSTAR. I absolutely loved this place !!! 20/10

We went here for our anniversary dinner while visiting Vancouver for the week. We had the most wonderful waiter serving us- Jeff, who gave us an impeccable experience! He prepared our caesar salad and banana's foster table-side for us and had perfectly timed check-ins with us throughout our dining experience. The restaurant itself was stunning, we went early and were able to have a corner of the restaurant to ourselves. Beautiful, classy, worth the splurge for your special moments! We are already excited to be back!

Not the best cut of meat I've had but... Blair our server was fantastic! He made you want to pull him up a chair and add him to the conversation! Highly recommend the cheese toast... it just melts in your mouth!

I had happy hour here in their lounge. We ordered the cheese toast and a Negroni from their happy hour menu and also the escargot from their regular menu. The Negroni was nice and strong. The cheese toast was a bit more disappointing than I had hoped it to be. It was served hot. It didn't do any cheese pulling but it was a nice savoury snack and did go well with alcohol. The escargot was served PIPING HOT (beware as I burned the roof of my mouth). It was deliciously buttery and went so well with the bread. Would order the escargot and the Negroni again. I love the atmosphere in their lounge on the first floor. Very laid back and cozy. Dark but relaxing. Would come back for more drinks

Food and service was excellent but not sure how they can justify those prices. There were three of us with a $150 gift certificate (given to us) and it didn't cover half of the bill. That is without any alcohol. $14 for cheese toast, $22 for a caesar salad that served 1 1/2, $75 for Steak Neptune. Although the ambiance was excellent and the service great I just wonder why people would not just go to the Keg which equals it in every way except for the prices.

So sad to have been seated by a couple and theit estimated 3 yr old jumping and screaming in the booth the entire time that not only was our dinner unenjoyable, we left as fast as possible. Not a single manager or worker standing within 4 feet stepped up to address the disruption or offer us new seating.... We spent over $200 on drinks and an app and couldn't stand to spend more as the entire ambience was disrupted by the inconsideration of the staff as well as the couple... otherwise the beef Wellington would have been enjoyable...Vancouver on every level was fabulous including service until Hy's but the Fairmont Hotel spectacular!

That cheese bread is legit! Gotta get it! Steak took a long time to get served, and was under, not very well seasoned. Everything else was good. Good customer service. Great dessert. Cocktail was very small.

it's the worst experience I had ever with HY's. I order one T bone steak but it' burned. It taste really bitter no matter inside or outside. The then cook redo one for us.however, the second one has no taste at all. That's definitely not HY's quality and not worth the price at all. The server explained to me said although it is bitter but it is the charcoal. I don't think anyone will like the taste of bitter.

Five Star Steakhouse Atmosphere and five star attentive high-quality service. The food is pricy but of good quality and well prepared. I'm going four stars because the fries are noticably simpler and not as tasty as another landmark Vancouver steakhouse (a few blicks away), I just recently visited, and they no longer offer a Thousand Island or Louis dressing. I went there over the more modern gimmick restaurants for the classics, which unfortunately revealed thousand island dressing has been exciled. I need Thousand Island dressing saved and brought back, and available again as a shrimp cocktail dipping option and especially as a salad dressing choice. Otherwise, I won't visit as often, because that is something a classic Stealhouse should have. Nostalgia lost without it. Bring it back, and we're back to 5 stars.

OK it's been 6 months since my dinner at Hy's and it still angers me to this day. The best part of the meal was cheese toast. Yes, you read that right. All four of us ordered steak and every single one tasted like a dirty grill. Any other time we would've sent them back but our server was so awkward and uncomfortable to talk to (interrupted us, way in our personal space) that we just wanted to get out of there ASAP. This was the worst meal I had in all of 2024. 0 stars.

The place has been around for awhile, the food was great, the Beef Wellington was fantastic, great old school streak house vibe , good looking bar with beautiful mahogany wood covers most of the restaurant , i am definitely recommend this restaurant, i might have given it a 5 star but the up sale was a bit annoying by our waiter, could hear him do the same at every table which I guess is his job but not enjoyable.

Always remember to look up when you're out & about! I was reminded of this when I actually looked up high as I was passing Hy's Steakhouse + Cocktail Bar! Heard about it, never been & always wondered! My brain finally clued in one day a few weeks ago - ooh this is Hy's! I've passed by several times while walking around downtown & never paid attention! What an intriguing, eye catching unique building!!! On top of that it's a - stand alone! Historic indeed since 1955 (at this location since the 60s), why have I never eaten here!?? Like fine wine this restaurant is timeless. To be honest I wouldn't have appreciated Hy's in my 20s (which was just a shy couple years ago - LMAO). I was still maturing & figuring out life - to busy to actually sit down & enjoy a classic steak on a magic night out. The brick & iron siding had me thinking - dungeons & dragons! Perhaps GOT anyone!?! Today I brought out the E.B.T. (see my Elise Steakhouse review for acronym meaning) card! I knew tonight was going to be a classy, elegant & supreme night - I pulled out my GQ bespoke suit! Someone even asked for my autograph - oh that was me looking in the mirror! LMAO!!! Located in central downtown Vancouver, plenty of parking available or use the valet service. The general clientele of Hy's appear older & look like they've been coming here for years. We started with drinks - the Dark + Stormy & Vesper - very delightful cocktails - cheers! For dinner we had scallops (so delicious), sablefish (amazing) & peppercorn New York steak - a juicy tender easy to chew steak! By the way, I can confirm that the Cheese Bread is to die for - it's truly irresistible!!! The cheesecake dessert - oh my one of the best I've ever had!!! The bottom level of Hy's is more historic to how it was in the 60s - the upper level was modernized about 5 years ago & has had some up to date significant touches. Happy Hour is held here upstairs Monday to Friday. Hy's is truly one of Vancouvers top historic restaurants. Make a reservation ASAP!

The food at Hy's was fabulous. The cheese toast is one of the best things I've ever eaten, seriously. My steak was also amazing. The service was incredible. A wonderful treat meal.

We recently celebrated our 34th anniversary at Hy's. Karen our server was outstanding. We kept her busy with three table side orders and she executed each beautifully while keeping the rest of the customers taken care of at the same time in a tiny room where the tableside cart took up a lot of room. Her enthusiasm for her job added greatly to the night. We tried many items and all were good. Some things that stood out... The cocktail sauce on the prawns was delicious, the carrots were devine, steak tartare was tasty, filets were very tender and cooked to perfection which is hard to do on a 6oz filet. Banana foster was delightful and quite the show! My husband loved his Caesar salad. Cheese bread was what you would expect, a comfort food from the 50's. The only thing that was a miss was the cacio e pepe. The noodles were over cooked and the sauce was too runny, but we are cacio e Pepe snobs and try it wherever we go. So we know it's a hard dish to make. They had Sazerac rye so the Manhattan cocktail was perfection. A great place to celebrate a special occasion! Thank you Karen!

Hys Cheese Toast, is by far, the best cheese toast that I have ever had in my entire life, in any country or home that I've been to. 100% Must have! My profile photo, says it all. It's actually a liquid, for 10 dollars on top of the bread,if you ever get it to go, when cooked gets that perfectly browned layer of cheese that somehow magically floats up to the top when it's cooked. Amazing! I love the restaurant, most menu items, it's a fantastic restaurant,,, But, hmmm, did I mention their cheese toast?

A Vancouver icon with a well deserved reputation. Honestly don't know why this place isn't Michelin stared. Service was absolutely impeccable, the food as usual was amazing. The cheesy bread as usual was amazing.

Quick Summary Very solid steakhouse that's slightly above the Ruth's Chris / Lawry's tier. The most memorable dishes were the cheese toast and the Bananas Foster. The steaks were good, and surprisingly liked the filet the best out of the cuts Food- 5 stars Cheese toast- this is a must for their appetizer. It's fantastic Clam chowder- this was on their specials of the day. It was good, especially on a rainy day. Very fresh seafood in their chowder Featured steak with peppercorn sauce- luckily was able to try the NY strip, ribeye, and filet with this dish that was on their special. I'm usually a fan of more fatty cuts like the ribeye, but surprisingly, I enjoyed the filet the most (that is usually a rarity for me) Bananas Foster- dessert and a show. The dessert was splendid and always nice to see fire at your table Service- 5 stars Fast and attentive. Service was impeccable as expected Bottom Line It's a very good steakhouse that is slightly above the Ruth's Chris / Lawry's tier. You're going to great meal whenever you come here. Highly recommend reservations.

Go to the Keg. What was Hys in Vancouver is over. Sub par steak for the price and you don't even get a potato choice anymore. Seriously go to the Keg.

If you're looking for an evening of fine dining with immaculate service, this place is a good choice. As it's a place that has been there for decades as a high end restaurant. I've been watching it to see if it will evolve. This is because we've seen how other similar style restaurants let their stalemate food and service lead them to their own demise (eg. William Tell). Hy's has consistently been the trusty establishment. Sure, it's dark and has the old school look, but the service was quite pleasant. It's been quite a while for me since my last visit. And so I wasn't familiar with the menu which they have updated. But don't go looking for any modern or fusion dish. It's still about the steak. If you're there, you splurge. At least go for the prime grade steaks aged 28 days. They are so tender and tasty. The Chateaubriand for two that's served table side is a good show if you want to impress out of town guests or your soul mate. If not, then go for the banana foster. Perfectly complemented with butter, brown sugar, and orange juice, when flambeed with rum, this dessert goes down with perfection with vanilla ice cream.

We gave Hy's a second chance after hearing many many positive reviews. The first time we went here years ago, the medium-rare steak was over cooked that we had to ask them to redo. Upon getting it the second time, it was so burnt even the server noticed it and had them make it a third time. In the end, it was so bad that we asked them to just take it away. ~ Bread Cheese Toast $11.95 Clam Chowder Soup of the Day$12.95 Filet Mignon Wellington $63.95 Porterhouse 22oz $89.95 Mashed Potatoes $12.95 Brussel Sprouts $14.95 ~ The cheese toast was definitely a must order, with their creamy cheesy and crispy toast. It was super satisfying. Clam Chowder was just alright as I've had better ones. But it cant go wrong! It was our first time trying the filet mignon wellington, and it was just ok. The steak was a little dry, so it wasnt very tender. I thought the foie gras and puff pastry would lock in the juice and flavour, but it was a little disappointing. The puff pastry and foie gras was tasty though. Their porterhouse on the other hand was made really well. Super tender and juicy. We all enjoyed this dish a lot. Mashed potatoes was creamy and good. But I really like the ones at Elisa better . Brussel Sprouts was very crispy, dipped with the sour cream and its delicious. Overall, it was a lot better than our first experience.

The service was excellent. However the food was very sub par. Cheezy toast to start reminded me of wonderbread. I had pepper steak with fries. She had Filet with fries. The fries were limp and soft. They did bring us a new batch which was much better. My striploin was thin, and the fat was not rendered. Her filet was thin and not appealing. Ambiance was great. This is my 4th time here, and in the past it was always perfect, but this time it was bad, to be honest. A new chef perhaps?

Great service, food is always consistent and well priced. Would recommend #contestentry

My wife and I had decided to come here for dinner last minute during our last day in Vancouver. We were greeted sat down quickly without a reservation and our server Chris was amazing. His food recommendations for the cheese bread and asparagus were delicious and table side service for the Caesar salad and Banana foster was an amazing experience. The steaks were cooked to our requests. We will be coming back again next time we're in Canada.

I'm basing the rating on the food not the service as the server was really nice and attentive. Also very nice of the gentleman who made sure our glass of water was filled. We both ordered the steak Neptune. The steak was delicious and cooked to perfection however it was pretty small and lukewarm along with the sides it tasted like it was sitting there for a while which made it less appealing. Which kind of makes sense cause once we finished our cheese toast we got our steaks pretty fast. The sides were a miss. Mash potatoes and asparagus were pretty bland for a place like this. The cheese toast tasted exactly as I expected nothing too special and the onion rings tasted like something you'd find at a more affordable generic chain restaurant except it was much more greasy not as crispy and way overpriced. The ambience was nice though.

Had a great dinner served by Dan last night. We ordered a plethora of food and all items were delicious. Mains: Pork chop/bone in steak/filet steak/ roasted chicken/1 lb lobster tail Appys: Cheese toast/ Caesar salad/ calamari / carpaccio Sides: mashed potato/ baked potato/ creamed corn / sautéed mushrooms / cacio e Pepe Dessert: banana fosters I think it's quite important to note that not only the steak was good but also the pork and chicken delivered. Since we had a few people in the table that didn't eat red meat, it was nice to know quality wasn't compromised even though they're known for their steak. Not one bad thing to say. Perhaps maybe just the consistency of the bernaise was not what I'm used to seeing. Flavour and execution was perfect for the cook on our steaks, the cocktails were spot on, and dessert was simple but delightful. Definitely a great experience.

This place did its level best for us. I made a request on my open table reservation for a nice private booth to celebrate our night, and they gave us just that. Even though, we were half-an-hour or more late (unusual for me, but it was a special occasion). The server welcomed us, gave us a little history on the place. One of Vancouver's oldest apparently. Of course it is a chain. Also, turns out that all of the top steak houses in Vancouver are owned by siblings of the same family. Nice bit of background info. Then we proceeded to have some polite banter, and then he gave us the room we needed to enjoy our night. Didn't get in the way at all, but we were also never left feeling unattended to. Our server was a Ninja! I don't know how he did it. Do they have hidden cameras? I don't know, but it was excellent. I just want to say, the service was great, it didn't go unnoticed! And I want to thank you for it (yes, my feelings were reflected in the tip. I left a BIG ONE! More than I could afford, to be honest, but he deserved it). Porterhouse steak was perfect for the two of us to share, with a side of lobster. We like a bit of surf with our turf. The famous cheese toast was a great start, which is a pretty standard thing to get at Hy's. My grand-mother's cheese on toast is a tad better, she was famous for it around our household, but that's just my bias. I won't let you have her recipe.

Alexi was a fabulous server. They food was outstanding. I've never had a better Caesar Salad in my life. The ambiance was just beautiful. I felt very comfortable and would be back again. Thank you! It was an exceptional experience.

This is the best restaurant in Vancouver that I've been to in the past week for vacation. Alysia was very nice, she helped us get dinner. This restaurant has the best steak I've ever had before. This restaurant looks so nice it looks fancy. Everyone was nice. The Filet Mignon was so good.

My partner and I came here for a birthday celebration as we are both big fans of steak and Hy's certainly lived up to its recommendations! We got their scallops to start and they were light, soft, and a great palate cleanser. For dinner, we got the steak fillet and the New York steak to share and they were grilled to perfection! We both got medium-rare and it came out looking exactly like that. If I had to choose between the two, the steak fillet maybe wins out just very slightly with its combination of flavours. The mashed potatoes that it came with was fluffy and paired well with the steak. We got a cocktail to share and they ended up splitting it for us which was very nice of them to do! Hys is quickly becoming one of our go to steak restaurants in Vancouver.

During COVID-19, Hy's has Take Out option priced at 20% off their regular menu and a Hy's-At-Home option to cook the food at home. You can place orders on their website. Below is my experience with Hy's before these pandemic days: A special occasions restaurant with its $$$$ price tag. Hy's has been around forever it seems, located on prime downtown real estate in a building of its own. Our group of 6 came for lunch but wanted to try their steaks, which they didn't have on their lunch menu, but we could order from their regular menu. We shared (best way to go to get to try dishes cost effectively): - Cheese bread ($10.95 for 2 thick, cheesy slices) - Served warm, its tasty but also very filling/heavy with the thick toast, crusted cheese, and oil. At the price, I wouldn't get it again although I know it's a favorite for many. - Bone-in Rib-Eye 32oz (Black Angus - $127.95) - Nice char to the rib eye, great fat ratio, good flavors. - Filet 12oz (Prime 28 day aged Steak - $87.95) - The waitress said the aged prime steaks was what Hy's is known for and how the way they grill gives it extra flavor. The meat was very tender (as a filet should be), and the meat did have a nice woody flavor to it. - Various sides: Onion Rings, Creamy Spinach, Fries - All were good accompaniments. - Hy's Cheesecake - Thought we'd try out the dessert they put their name to but it was actually the more disappointing of the desserts we got. - Pistachio Creme Brulee - This was a nice dessert with good pistachio flavors (usually I can't taste much pistachio in pistachio desserts). - Key Lime Pie - I'm normally not a key lime pie person but my colleagues enjoyed this dessert a lot. Service was friendly but slow. It was hard to get service as our waitress was serving so many tables in our section, and a lot of dishes that were served tableside required a lot of her time. Felt like they could have been shortstaffed. We had giftcards we got for 20% off at Costco so be on the lookout for them so you can treat yourself to more steak with the savings!

What we ordered: Bone-in Rib Steak (20 oz.) with a baked potato, cheese toast for two, Porterhouse (20 oz.) and their cheesecake for dessert! Atmosphere: This place was beyond anything I've ever had before; the epitome of luxurious eating right here. From the moment you walk in, it's as if you've been brought back in time to the Victorian era. It's not too loud, and you can enjoy quite a bit of privacy if you get a seat in a booth. About the food: we got the cheese toast and honestly, my brain melted from how delicious it was (apparently some people only eat cheese toast throughout their entire evening). The steaks were all amazing as well. My bone-in rib steak was amazingly tender (and actually the baked potato was amazing!!!). The porterhouse came with a filet and a New York strip cut, cooked to medium rare perfection. Surprisingly, the cheesecake was the most average out of everything we had, but it was still tasty. Note: they do charge for still water though, so if you don't really want to fork out that bit, you can ask for tap water. This was my first time at such a high-end restaurant, and I can safely say it was life changing.

Thank god we had a gift card cause otherwise I would not pay for this food. Nice rooms, nice staff as well but the food is absolutely underwhelming. WTF is with "famous" cheese bread. It was soggy and came with tin foil on it, some old Asian grandma lady trotted it out from the kitchen too - that was weird.

We were at Hy's earlier tonight (Sept 2) and unfortunately it was disappointing. We've dined at high-quality steakhouses roughly 100 times in the past decade and know what to expect (and were at Hy's 3 months ago and had a much better experience then). This time a bunch of things went wrong: - The server completely forgot to ring in my Caesar salad. He was not writing down the order. I specifically said that I would like to start with the Caesar salad, in those words (not mumbling it, etc.) The salad never came. I got worried when about 20 min had gone by and then once the steak knife was placed I knew he had forgotten :( - My steak was thin and tasted only like char, despite my ordering it rare. The center was rare, but outside had heavy char marks which were likely responsible for the bad taste. One of the worst tasting steaks over $50 I've had. I couldn't taste the meat orange seasoning because the burnt flavor was so overpowering. - The chocolate bourbon cake was also disappointing. The ice cream quantity was about 2 tablespoons and the cake itself had a gritty texture like the ingredients had not been mixed together fully. It will be hard to come back for another visit after this one :(
