    Wonderful dinner experience and our first time visiting Joe Fortes. From the excellent service at the bar, to attentive and friendly service at our dinner table, food was delicious! I have been searching for a traditional Cobb Salad, and this one did not disappoint! Hugh, our server, was a gem. We will be back next time we are visiting Vancouver. Don’t miss out on this quality and service focused dining experience!

    Great food … you won’t leave hungry as portion sizes were, for us, huge. We went for dinner on a Sunday and it was busy, pianist playing and buzzy atmos. Worth a visit
