    We loved this restaurant! The service was impeccable, the ambiance perfect, and the food was good. While it was slightly on the expensive side, it was well within expectations and didn’t take away from the superb evening we had. Our young kids were mesmerised by the revolving night scenes and fascinated by the movement of the restaurant, which kept them entertained throughout the evening. We highly recommend this restaurant for a fun and memorable dining experience—whether you’re with family, friends, or on a romantic night out.

    Our visit to Nightingale was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, the service and ambiance set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. The food was beyond incredible—each dish was thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor. A special shoutout to our server, Colwyn, who truly made the evening special. He was not only attentive and caring but also incredibly thoughtful with his recommendations. His warm and welcoming demeanor made our first meal in Vancouver a highlight of our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better start to our time here. Thank you, Colwyn, and the entire team at Nightingale for such a memorable experience. We’ll be back! Let me know if you’d like any tweaks!
