Had a very nice meal here with food perfectly prepared -- both fish and a very creative / interesting salad. Restaurant was basically empty on a Tuesday night so it didn't have too much ambiance, but for a business dinner it was great. Outstanding service.

This restaurant has a great view of hte Vancouver Harbor, fine service and the food was OK. The restaurant was practically empty on a Tuesday night, although the hotel was relatively full.

Nice 3 course dinner offered for $50--great value for this level of service and ambience. We dined off the a la carte menu with great choices for starters and mains and desserts--something bound to appeal for everyone. Beautifully prepared in true European style and while you wait between courses you can't beat the view. Search the menu online to find... More

If you want noise and the crush of the hot spot, go elsewhere. If you want an incredibly delicious meal served by professional waitstaff on crisp white linens with silver and crystal, in a wonderfully serene setting looking out walls of glass over a beautiful harbour with snow capped mountains as a backdrop, this is the place. We had one... More

Very good but a small menu. If you like Seafood, they do it very well. You have a very nice view of the harbour.

We ordered the set three course dinner and were not disappointed. The food and service were extraordinary. The owner came to our table several times and chatted. We will definitely go back. Our table overlooked the water and was very tranquil.

Expensive, but well worth it. The menu provides some of the best seafood and steak offered. Take a table by the window to see a wonderful view of the mountain, water and seaplane activities. Great place to take clients to and the servers are very well polished.

Spectacular, We had a group of 50 for a multi course wine and food dinner. Spectacular really does not do justice to the quality of food and service we received. Not cheap, but at the Five Sails you really do get what you pay for.

- DINE OUT 2013 REVIEW - With the intimidating credit card required reservation process and the huge disclaimer about sitting times and cancellation fees, my group of three girlfriends and myself were pretty convinced that Five Sails would walk the talk. We were not disappointed in the slightest. Despite one of our party members being nearly a full half an... More
