Awesome service , food was excellent . Will definitely gonna comeback :)

Turkey dinner was very dry. Server didn’t do quality checks and lacked attentiveness. Overall felt like a number, not a person. However, the ambience was lovely and bar cocktails looked good.

We ate two meals at Notch 8. We expected more ambiance from the Fairmont based on our many past experiences at several Fairmont locations. The setting was far from elegant. The Thanksgiving dinner was mediocre at best.

Thanksgiving brunch

Inattentive to orders (two mistakes for a party of two), avoid pastries (small and dry), just okay food otherwise. Staff okay, but not particularly friendly. They miscommunicated when brunch was for the long weekend. Make sure you ask about what (breakfast vs. Brunch) is actually offered and at what time, because it seems subject to change without notice.

Sophisticated elegance for the masses

Not a large selection of choices, the roast was too rare, the pumpkin creme brule was runny, the egg Benny English muffin was too hard.

The service, ambience and food were all excellent. However, they only have one bathroom for the entire restaurant which is extremely inconvenient. The restaurant seats 50+ people at a time. Poorly designed and a poor decision to think one bathroom would suffice for an entire restaurant. I’m not sure how that’s up to code. When dining here just be ready to wait in an extremely long line for the bathroom.
Also, the cleaning lady was cleaning the bathroom during the brunch buffet which was another decision that was poorly thought out.

We had the Thanksgiving brunch buffet. The food was outstanding, especially the prime rib. There are also lots of selections for dessert.
People is very courteous and keep their distance when getting the food.

Expecting Hotel Vancouver but got the Keg.
Loud big top in center of restaurant, no tablecloths & very limited non reflective menu.
Quick nicely prepared food served by plesant staff.

The food was excellent; very good flavors. Despite our server seeming less than enthusiastic, not very personable or attentive, we appreciated Lorena taking the time to check in with us on our experience and introducing us to Executive Sous Chef Dennis.

An elegant and quiet place to catch up. Food and service excellent.

The 3 course meal was very good, and the chocolate cake is a must-try!

Service very good; strong adherence to Covid protocols; food was very good.

OMG, the food and service were amazing! Our server, Christian, was the best!! We will go back for sure!!!

The services was great. Very professional but still fun. Great for a business lunch but would also go again for Happy Hour. Food was lovely.

Terrific location with great service and an enjoyable

It was awesome, amazing prime rib, must try the French onion soup. Live music was such a treat

The prime rib was great however the chicken entree was dry and the French onion soup wasn’t great. For the prices one would expect better.

An amazing night out. The food was delicious, I had prime rib and the bf had trout. So very good. Outstanding service from our server, Pedro.

I loved the French guy at the reception

As part of the Rocky Mountaineer package we had a limited menu. Was disappointing that 2 of the choices were not available and we were dining fairly early at 6:30 pm

I took a friend for a belated 21st birthday celebration for the Prime Rib set dinner -it did not disappoint, as she said it was the best prime rib she’d ever had. She also enjoyed the French onion soup and chocolate cake. For myself, I wanted the whole roasted trout but they did not have it, so I went with the roasted ling cod, which was very good. The gem lettuce salad was good and the raspberry sorbet on the pavlova was excellent.

A wonderful evening from start to finish. Service was attentive and the food was very good. A great atmosphere within the restaurant ensured a memorable reunion with our son and his partner.

Unfortunately for an upscale restaurant, they failed to achieve in service and quality. We ordered breakfast which should be easy enough. The food was cold and eggs were underdone. The toast was burnt and still cold. Service was mediocre as the waiting staff preferred to yell things from a distance vs. Coming by the table.

Overall I feel like this could have been an off day however this doesn’t change the experience. This restaurant certainly has the potential but seems to lack quality control in the kitchen as well as the house.

Ambiance is nice as should be expected for a restaurant at a fairmont hotel. I just wish the food/service met the same standard.

Server was very attentive.
Temperature in the area was really chilly. Food became cold quicky. Brunch was not as advertised.

The Fraser Valley chicken breast was excellent and definitely will be ordering again
The bacon cheese burger ordered from the lounge menu was excellent

The Notch 8 Gem Lettuce Salad was a joke . It was outrageously expensive for a few lettuce leaves . You needed a magnifying glass to see the cheddar . Certainly no taste of cheddar as there was so little of it . Ashed Brioche crumble?.? What was that? Ground up burnt toasted brioche from breakfast ….really? No taste whatsoever . What is the point ?

The Flat Iron steak was flavourful but wasn’t hot

The OMG chocolate cake was excellent as was the special birthday dessert .
The wine prices are outrageous

Short rib was dry. French toast was soggy. Avocado toast was not worth the price. Server was very good

It was terrible. The experience was an overpriced, well below average hotel coffee shop.

Food was great. Shared a meal. Large portions. Glad we went.

Expected more , food is not that good and service is slow

The OMG chocolate cake is not what it used to be pre covid. Its more like an OH my gosh instead of Oh my God. As well the pasta dish we ordered was extremely small for the price vs the Prime Rib we also ordered (which was delicious)

Chicken was raw, happy hour wine was limited ..
We left and went to Italian Kitchen .. much much better ..

Server appeared to be somewhat ambivalent & inattentive.

Great selection to choose from on the menu. Prime ribe was terrific

This place was just okay. Good facility, and nice atmosphere. Food was okay, but not AWESOME for the price we paid. We could easily get the same breakfast food somewhere else with a better value for money. Service was not the best. Although the food came in pretty quick, our waiter was slow for everything else. It took awhile until he greeted us and to take our order. Then, after trying to call the waiter multiple times, it took almost 40 MINUTES to get our bill! We even called another waiter to help us, and all they did was tell our waiter to come help us....but he still never came. Given the poor value for money (for just ... okay food) and the service we received, I would not go back to this place.

The service was just ok, they forgot to put in one of our appetizers, the meals themselves were meh, honestly looked like trainees did the plating and sauces. It was the type of meal I expected from white spot or something.

Great atmosphere. Quiet. Excellent service. Prime rib was perfect. Had miso mushrooms side very good. The tomato soup was good. They have a good bar with a decent choice of local wines. Also had eggs Benedict which was perfect.

Walked out didn’t feel safe with the distancing

Outstanding food and great service. I have never had a bad experience at this restaurant
