I loved the food and the general atmosphere but the coffee was good
Thank you so much for your comments! We use Mogiana Coffee, a small family owned grower and roaster.
The Hart House is a great place to dine but it will be better when the virus is not causing problems. It seems strange with the isolation and the staff all wearing masks.
Thank you for your feedback, John! We are so happy for the opportunity to be open and serve our guests; hopefully things will improve soon so you can see our smiling faces again in their entirety.
week end brunch is not to be missed always one or two specials, daughter had crab/avacado beanie I had breakfast meal both excellent had a side of pork belly that was nice and crispy, have eaten the brunch a few times and will be back
Thank you for your feedback! We are so thrilled that you enjoyed your brunch at Hart House. We look forward to seeing you again!
Family brunch
i live cheesecake there. but too bad they ran out of it on that day
Thank you for your feedback! Sometimes our kitchen team cannot keep up with the demand for cheesecake since it is made fresh in small batches. We will strive to always have enough dessert on hand. Hot tip: the Ricotta Doughnuts are to die for.
Love this place. The ambience is world-class The Establishment is beautiful and the food is out of this world just the right amount of noise the service was top notch nothing bad to say about this place
Thank you so much for your kind words. Your feedback means the world to us, and we are so happy that you enjoyed your experience at Hart House. We look forward to seeing you again!
It was our first time at Hart House. As new residents to BC from Ontario we couldn't have asked for a bette dining experience! Took my Dad for his 78th birthday and he absolutely loved it!!
Welcome to BC, and thank you for your review! We are so happy you enjoyed your experience at Hart House. We look forward to seeing you again. Make sure to visit in the summer, when our beautiful patio is open.
Excellent restaurant who is spacious and adheres to covid guidelines. Food and service are great. When weather is warmer there's a lovely patio. Lovely view.
Staff were lovely, giving us a tour of the historic building. We look forward to returning when visiting Burnaby again.
Excellent despite the PHO restrictions. Staff are absolutely fantastic and friendly.
New Years
They had an appy of clams and mussels for $22
I asked for a bit of pasta with it
They said they would have to halve the amount of seafood yet they turned around and charged $35 for it
Hart House does a fantastic job taking care of guests. In this day of social distancing they really make sure patrons are safely set apart. The food is great. This place is a wonderful neighbourhood establishment.
This was our first Christmas Dinner at the Hart House and an experience worth turning into a tradition. Thank you Hart House.
The food was excellent and the service was extremely good.
Thanks to all the staff who worked on Christmas Day so that we could have a lovely meal.
Decor is very elegant and tasteful in a beautiful old house.
Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Cheerful wait staff. Warmth throughout the building from the Christmas decorations. Excellent effort under Covid precautions.
Very disappointing Christmas Eve dinner! Food was very low quality. We’ve dined many times at Hart House and found the food to be inconsistent. Will not be back.
Thank you for sharing your feedback - we appreciate that you took the time, it means a lot to us: your feedback helps us improve continuously. We would love to know what it was that disappointed you so greatly. Our Chef prepared our Christmas Dinner with great care, and the feedback has been positive so far. Something must have gone terribly wrong, and we are devastated that this could have happened on our watch. Please contact Sonja or Erkan so we can get to the bottom of this.
We went for our Christmas celebration on Christmas Eve. I was disappointed in myself for not specifying that I wanted to be seated downstairs - it is difficult for my mom to navigate a long staircase and the decor upstairs is not as elegant.
I think for Christmas the decorations could have been nicer in the dining room - maybe more twinkle lights around the windows, and a better room centrepiece (it was just a plain table with a large poinsettia) since the tables had to be sparsely decorated due to Covid restrictions. But then it may be hard for restaurants to make the investment in more decorations right now.
However the Hart House has the most inviting entrance area with the beautiful Christmas tree and fireplace. The staff were all very warm and attentive - the tables were very nicely spaced to allow for private conversation and a feeling of safety in the pandemic.
The food was AMAZING!!!! For me the atmosphere of a restaurant is most important, but for my parents it is the food taste. And they are very hard to please - I was a little anxious as I had selected the restaurant for our celebration, and if they didn't like it my mom would get critical and crass and my dad would make sarcastic comments. But they were soooo happy and impressed that mom asked me the next day about general availability at the restaurant and wants to return for her birthday in January. As a feather in my cap, my dad was very pleased with the wine the waitress brought him with his very vague description of what he felt like.
Thank you for your review! We appreciate that you took the time to share your feedback about your dinner. We are devastated that we disappointed you and your family on such a special occasion. We shared your feedback regarding the Duck Confit and Burger with our Chef and kitchen team, and will make sure this does not happen again. Missing your son's meal is inexcusable, and especially terrible considering it was his birthday. We will contact you directly to discuss how we can make it up to you.
Hart House never disappoint! Food is always superb as is service. We are always there for special occasions
Amazing food. No other place I'd choose for a nice meal to impress.
Wonderful ambiance for a romantic dinner for two. Food and service never disappoints.
Birthday dinner, everything was spot on - the Hart House never disappoints!!
It was a very good experience last month so i took my kids and husband to celebrate Christmas yesterday. It was a horrible dinner. Not sure if the chef is not in a good mood or what. The duck leg was so salty that can’t eat at all. The Angus beef burger was so dry and the bun hadn’t even heat up. My son’s entree was totally missed (and we were celebrating his birthday as well 🙁). The server was so busy running with 5 tables coming at the same time which never happens in fine dining before. Not a pleasant experience at all.
The steelhead was cooked perfectly . Meal was delicious .
This is our favorite dining spot for special occasions. We have tried numerous restaurants downtown, but they never live up to the hype. Great food, great environment, and good value.
Thank you so much for your review, Jeff! We truly appreciate your kind words, and that you took the time to share your feedback. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones, and a Happy New Year! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
We had the duck confit and beef tenderloin tonight. Dinner was amazing and a big thankyou to Erkan and Jennie! We will be back soon!
Beautiful ambience, great service and scenic view. Overall wonderful experience!
I took my mom for brunch. It was her first time there and she thoroughly enjoyed herself. Loved the food and ambiance. Definitely worth making this a favourite.
Excellent food and service, plus a beautiful setting.
One of the best restaurants in the Burnaby/Vancouver area. Quiet, very good service and our meal was delicious and well presented. My favourite restaurant. P
Good place, good dinner, good service. We all enjoyed our food.
Don’t understand the noise level question. Is the smallest step for low noise level ( good) or for poorest quality of noise level (too noisy.)? Very ambiguous. I meant that it was lovely and quiet, just right.
The food was unreal. Overall experience was great. Can't wait to go back
Awesome wine and portions are the right size (not too large and not too small).
The food is always tasty!
Thank you for your review, Mark! We are so happy that you enjoyed your visit. We look forward to seeing you again!
Main reception lady was rude to rush us to finish our brunch....did not get to enjoy my coffee after the food.
Service was very slow!
Love coming here for special occasions meals. Wonderful staff, delicious food and great ambience.
Thank you for your review! It was a pleasure to serve you, and we hope to see you again soon.
Hope business keeps going up despite Covid, thanks.
All t here food items were delicious and nicely presented.
my favourite place to go. Erkin is always so friendly, he and his team provide the most exceptional service
Thank you so much for your kind words! It is always a pleasure to serve you, and we hope to see you again soon. Have a wonderful Holiday season! Erkan Esgin Restaurant manager
