    Great food and atmosphere and the little gestures by the server were thoughtful. In terms of timing of things it was a bit slow (e.g. wanting to order but was waiting a lot longer and getting the bill took a while too). It may have been that they were busy but it would be nice to be able to request another server or someone for assistance with that.

    Joe Fortes restaurant is an experience from start to finish from when the host take your coat to seating you it is 10/10. The servers make the experience by giving recommendations and telling you what drink goes well with what. The food is amazing from the sea food to steak to the crème brûlée. I would highly recommend Joe Fortes as I enjoyed my experience thoroughly.

    Our server was amazing! The restaurant was over crowded, tables too close to one another. Loud and hot and this is January. Food not very good. Hubs had dine out yvr , I ordered off the menu. Don't think I'll be back. Prices really high for the quality of food. But again, server was really good! Sorry JF's, wanted to love it it

    Great food. Service was excellent. Especially when they only picked up plates after everyone had finished eating. Highly recommend this place to eat if you love good seafood.
