A word from Hy's Steakhouse Encore
One only needs to enter the cozy establishment to realize the extent to which Hy's adheres to tradition. The polished mahogany walls, ornate bar, solid furnishings, and art have been lovingly maintained since they were first installed in 1962. And, with minor exceptions, the menu remains unchanged,… featuring the finest Canadian Prime beef and seafood, not to mention Hy's sublime cheese toast.Continued

Diner Reviews
  • "We loved the food at Hy's. The steaks were amazing and we were glad we didn't pass on the cheesy bread. I had mentioned it was my boyfriends birthday and when I called to confirm my reservation they acknowledged the note however there was nothing special offered and our server didn't even acknowledge it. I selected 'special occasion' purely because of the price. $200 (excluding tip) for two people is pricy. We recently dined at Joe Fortes and that was a 5 star meal - food, service, all round experience for the same price. Our server was professional which is always a plus but very robotic. You could tell she did not want to be engaged in any kind of conversation, infact she looked rather terrified when we tried to chat with her at all."

  • "The title says it all. The Ceasar salad was done table side quite good, maybe a little anchovy. The cheese bread is the real reason I go there. The steak was ok, a tenderloin should never be tough. My baby back ribs were quite good. The table was good and I will go back just not have steak."

  • "Last fall, we visited Hy's & everything about the experience was phenominal. We spent New Years Eve with you at Gothams & again, it was fantastic. Recently we went back to Hy's. The cheese bread & the escargot were mouth watering. Unfortunately it ends there. My wife had ribs & I had the 10 oz. striploin. My wife found the ribs to be bland. I gave her a bite of my steak. It had your special sauce on it. She felt that the sauce on the steak should have been on the ribs. It was very tastey. My steak was a little on the tough side. I had to cut atleast a 1/4 of it off as it was fat & grissol."

  • "I love Hy's and am never disappointed. The cheese toast and table-side caesar salad are favorites. The steaks and prime ribs are top-notch and always seasoned and cooked to perfection. We tried the onion rings for the first time, hand dipped in beer batter and a great side dish! Hy's is perfect for a special evening, worth every penny!"

  • "My boyfriend and I celebratred our one year anniversary at Hy's and it was as great as my friends told me it would be. Food was outstanding, staff was friendly and knew what they were doing. Excellent experience wpuld reccomend to anyone looking for a romantic night out with some style."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Went with wife. Her lamb is under cooked, my steak is over. This would have been fine if we were at a mid tier restaurant like the keg, but we were paying top notch prices so i had high expectation."

  • "I recently hosted a group of clients at Hy's Encore for one of the individual's birthday dinner. Our server, Brent, was always available but never hovering. Everyone enjoyed their meals very much. If you love a flame grilled steak, you will find many options on the menu. As noted above, it's not for the faint of wallet - steaks are in the $40 CAD range, sides are extra. Minor complaint, the Caesar Salad (prepared tableside) were good but a bit too heavy on the garlic. All the meat orders were cooked to order. A couple of people had desserts and they were excellent."

  • "My wife and I hadn't been there for many years, but had been given some gift certificates for Xmas. The food was very good, although my Filet was much the same as a Keg steak. Our waiter was great. My only criticism is that Hy's is somewhat dated, too dark and has a dreary ambiance. A little modernization would help."
    Dined on 2/19/2014
  • "Impecable service in a welcoming environment for a special occassion meal. All the staff were well trained, professionals. Both our meals were very good. However, high prices are difficult to reconcile with the product."
    Dined on 2/19/2014
  • "The evening started out very well as we were shown to our table very quickly and in a quiet corner as I had requested. The appetizzers of Oysters were very tasty. Unfortunately from that point on, our experience went downhill. My wife's large atlantic lobster was so salty it was impossible to eat, yet the smaller lobster I got was quite nice. I felt obliged to wait while the restaurant worked to correct the lobster for my wife. They tried their best, but the second one out was not much better, but by then it was getting quite late and my meal had cooled off. In the end, the restaurant did compliment the lobster meal, but when I paid, the waiter made no attempt to give me any change or ask if I wanted any change, he just quickly left."

  • "If you love a great steak and a table-side Caesar, Hy's is your place. You won't be disappointed. Plan to spend $100 a head to have a great time and you will."

  • "Took my hubby for his birthday surprise to take him "back in time" this is everything we love about dining from the past. Perfectly cooked food, excellent wine, excellent service . Perfect blend of old and new. The decor is rich and aristocratic. Definitely old world dining -worth every penny."

  • "I've been to Hy's for a few special occasions now and have not been disappointed. The food, service, and setting are consistently high calibre."
    Dined on 1/31/2014
  • "I thoroughly enjoy this restaurant. The steaks are the best, cooked exactly how you want them. I like the way the vegetables are served separately. You then don't feel that your plate is too full! There were 4 of us going all out with everything so it wasn't cheap, but if you are wanting a really special night out then this is the place for you. Another good thing is the noise level. We could hear each other speak so didn't feel we had to shout at all, but it's not so quiet that you feel you should whisper! Nice to sit in armchairs at the front of the restaurant for a wee drink before dinner! The staff who look after cars and direct you in are particularly nice. What a welcome."

  • "Excellent steak; had the chateaubriand for two and it was outstanding! Traditional steak at its finest."
    Dined on 1/24/2014
  • "I have been going to Hy's for over 25 years and it always have been a wonderful experience. Great food, great service and just overall great restaurant."
    Dined on 1/23/2014
  • "Food and service was superb, but a little overly pricey. Noise level increased due to numbers of people in a smaller space."

  • "We had a great time. The steaks were prepared beautifully. The staff were on point. The best table in the house. All around a great time. 9 of us for supper and they didn't miss a beat."

  • "I very much enjoyed our time at Hys and so did my guest."
    Dined on 1/10/2014
  • "Girl receiving us, not friendly at all. Got table in nearby room at lower level which was cold. Waitress without smile. Food not at all up to the standard you expect from a top restaurant. How can it be that the best experience is the valet boy receiving your car!"
    Dined on 1/9/2014
  • "Hy's was wonderful, we enjoyed the whole experience, from the valet parking to the dessert all was wonderful. The food was done to perfection the salad crisp and the wine great. The waiter Blair was exceptional with his ability to show up when required and his wit was great."
    Dined on 1/10/2014
  • "Service is excellent, our server serves like a professional butler. He recommended me the glass of wine which is exactly what I am looking for as I have described to him. The cheese toast is the best food of the evening. Don't understand why the Caesar salad is not prepared in the dining, even though it was mentioned on the menu. For the steak, my son's NY Strip has a thick layer of fat, and the sauce is too thick on the top of the steak. For the chateaubriand, the meat is of good quality, but is too cooked as we ordered medium. Overall, enjoyed the ambiance for the special occasion!"

  • "Took my girlfriend to this place for her birthday and she had a great time! Made it extra special with a special birthday treat for her as well! Great food as the steak and prime rib were both cooked to our liking. The mushrooms were rather average but the salad and the cheese toast was amazing! Great service by Tim! Everyone was very professional throughout the night! Thank you for making the birthday a great night!"
    Dined on 1/4/2014
  • "After a great starter, our mains were a pretty big disappointment. Not that there were terrible or anything, but the steaks we've had at the Keg have been better. Service was superb and the ambiance perfect. Too bad the steaks were not great."

  • "Head to Hy's every year in December to celebrate with family and they have the best service and amazing menu! Everyone loved the food and it was cooked to perfection. Can't say enough great things about this restaurant."
    Dined on 12/16/2013
  • "It was very busy, and we were nicely tucked away in a corner (great for a bit of quiet), but service was a bit slow. We all chose salads and I found mine to be heavy on the 'dressing' (steak salad). Not quite what I expected from Hy's and I wish I had gone with their wonderful caesar salad. Next time."
    Dined on 12/12/2013
  • "Because of the season, many groups were seated and much noise; however, we were offered a different location in the back when I mentioned it and again, when a quieter table opened up - the Maitre 'd was very accommmodating and it was nice he remembered us. We both had never been to this restaurant and the decor was lovely and we can't say enough about our waiter, Blair!! He was the best and so attentive to our needs. We had the famous Cheese Toast for 2 - AWESOME!, Filet a la Hy's and New York striploin. All the food was excellent! Perfectly cooked. My friend received a birthday cheesecake! I had just mentioned this in my booking! I couldn't believe they did this. It was a perfect birthday celebration! Thank you Hy's Steakhouse!"

  • "We went to this restaurant a few times and their steaks and steak tartar is normally very good. Normally, the steak tartar is very tasty. But this time, aside from spicy, there is not much taste. My husband and I ordered our steak medium rare. But the steaks were rare. It took me more than 5 mins before I got the waitress attention. I told her I ordered the steak medium rare and it is very rare. She looked at me as if she didn't understand the problem. I will still go back. Hopefully, this was just one of their bad day. Service was so slow. We end up didn't eat the dessert as we weren't sure how long we had to wait."

  • "I've never had such great service! The food and drinks were fantastic. I will definitely be coming back!"

  • "Unpretentious fine dining. If I'm not in the mood to grill at home, this is where I go for steak. One of Vancouvers finest restaurants"
    Dined on 11/26/2013
  • "Mens' club ambience. Greeted warmly, seated promptly, coat check & valet service. Wine list on i-pad an interesting juxtaposition of trendy/traditional. Delicious crab cake starter. Whole chunks of crab, light tartar, side slaw. Worth 18.95 price. Rich, savoury cheese toasts. Caesar salad prepared table side, too much garlic. Romaine was more outer greens than hearts. Partner had baby back ribs - mediocre. Wild salmon & baked potato - average. Side snap peas, good but not unique. Overall disappointed with mains. Tasty key lime dessert. Overall too pricey $250-$300 for the quality. Service good. Unfortunately one table had a squalling infant which made it difficult to converse comfortably. Good for lunch & best to not order non-steak items."

  • "Went to Hy's for my 1 year anniversary and it was absolutely incredible, no trouble getting a reservation, doorman was incredibly polite and accommodating. Our server was phenomenal, cracked jokes to make sure we were at ease, very knowledgable about wine for my lady and Scotch for myself, and even though we didn't order the Caesar Salad, he made sure when the next table ordered it that we were able to see him making the dressing from scratch. As a chef it was nice to see someone so professional in the dining room and he was top notch. The food was incredible, my steak was a beautiful rare-medium-rare, the temperature was perfect. Everything tasted just like I expected it to, but better. 5 stars for sure!"
    Dined on 11/5/2013
  • "We had an excellent meal. It was a bit loud when we arrived as there was a group of young men talking loud and showing off. They left soon after we arrived which was nice. Cheese bread and Caesar salad were very good. Steaks were wonderful and we ended up taking some of the meal home it was so big."
