Amaros Table East Vancouver -Food CA (Near Vancouver)

5 /5 M Long: What an incredible experience. Perfect date night spot. Everything is crafted to perfection! The cocktails, the steak was cooked perfectly medium rare as ordered. Brussel spouts were delightful. The daily risotto is always a winner. The service was exceptional. Jess was our server but you will be in great care with Mike or Maddie too. You want to impress someone but dont want to spend gaucho money Amaros is the spot (and I think better food and value).

2 /5 B K: Disappointing. We had high expectations for Amaros having been to the downtown restaurant a number of times. We waited 10+ minutes for a table while parties our size were seated ahead of us (none having reservations). Shared a 6 person table with another party (not surprising when you need to maximize the number of people seated). Then waited for a server (the hostess finally came by to ask if we had been served before one showed up). We stayed positive the entire time - restaurant work isnt easy. We noticed the people next to us were getting refills on drinks and checked on how things were going while we were largely ignored. We were similarly dressed and engaging but may not fit the typical demographic for the area. The food selection, quality, and flavor were okay but a bit overpriced (IMO) for the area. The atmosphere was good - an upgrade from the previous restaurant. Overall very disappointing. Too many dining options to be treated like we were.

5 /5 Lisa Oldham: I scheduled a takeout meal; fried chicken dinner, housemade ricotta fig baguette, desert creme brulee (it was perfect even in a takeout!). Best fried chicken ever! The baguette was lightly crunchy and fresh, ricotta was perfection. This meal fed me 3 times and was delicious the next day reheated in the air fryer.

4 /5 Charles Bessire: Amaros Table took the location of a sub par brewpub and turned it into an elegant space that is completely unrecognizable from its original state. We truly enjoyed the ambiance of this beautiful establishment. The service was excellent. Warm and friendly smiles abound. The food, however, is where it loses a star for me. We have consistently ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich and this time I ordered the Steak Sandwich. Please dont get me wrong, they were both good. I just found the Steak Sandwich to be a bit too savory (lose the peppers) and the Fried Chicken Sandwich to be a bit too sweet (add a tiny bit of cayenne or something savory to offset the sweet). We enjoyed the time we spent at this location and we will definitely return.

5 /5 Michael Key: Amaro’s Table Eastside Vibe: The space is almost unrecognizable from when it was Hopworks. Guest Experience Director Haleigh Haase has done an incredible job with the makeover. Beautiful chandeliers are suspended over each table, along with a sizable, impressive chandelier that serves as the centerpiece. The previous army of beer taps has been replaced with a lovely, white-illuminated cocktail bar. Thanks to the carpet and acoustic tiles, the former gym-like echo has been eradicated. Instead, savvy background music plays at a comfortable level that invites conversation. The new staff run a smooth operation. The quality of the food is consistent with the downtown location. Cocktails were almost as good. According to Beverage Director Preston Groves, most of the cocktails are batched (pre-made) and served on tap. Nitrogen replaces the liquid as it’s poured, which helps preserve the batch. This cocktail snob could taste a slight difference from the bespoke, hand-mixed cocktails downtown, but most people will be more than pleased. Amaro’s Table Eastside will be in heavy rotation among our dining spots. Will I still dine downtown? Of course! -VanPort Insider
