Reviews for The Ellis in Vancouver, BC
I just recently re-discovered this local gem. Went in on the weekend and sampled almost the entire cocktail menu (and delicious... mussels) and went right back the next day for lunch. A highlight was, not only the amazing cocktails, but also the outstanding,5-star service of bartender Maddy (Matty?). We experienced extremely attentive and polished customer service from him whileseated at the bar, which was unexpected considering the more casual atmosphere of the place. Excellence is the word that comesto mind. Thank you, Maddy! Read more
I don’t eat a lot of meat, but when I do, I go for an Ellis burger! These folks make the best burger I’ve had in Vancouver,... and they’re one of the only spots licensed to serve it medium rare. The service is always friendly and excellent, and thepatio is perfect. My friends say the cocktails are pretty spectacular, too! Read more
We came for the burgers which were okay but not worth the price. Found them more dry than expected and not medium rare. The... bone-in rib was dry and I had expected an easier experience (if it easily fell off the bone it would have been enjoyable, buthad to separate it and it was difficult to cut). Charcuterie was good quality, crispy cauliflower was great. Service-wise wasincredibly variable, the blonde server was warm and lovely and made our meal, others I found cold and “polite” in aVancouver way. I wouldn’t return as the value was lacking and the burgers were a disappointment, but could be a fun date nightfor some types of people. Read more
Lovely room, good service, we had happy hour nibbles and the chipotle skewer was very tasty, charcuterie plate not so much. Main... course we had from regular member and the Brisket Sandwich gets a star on its own. Exceptional. Read more
No need to line up for an hour at hipster places on 4th Ave when you can walk right in for an amazing brunch at The Ellis.... Friendly service, relaxed ambiance, great food. Try it for yourself. Read more
Aside from the rather slow time that it took for our food to come out (think they might have been short staffed at the time),... the food was quite good here. Had the Ellis Breakfast and the Farmers Hash. The country sausages had a nice snappy bite and thetop of the buttermilk biscuits had a perfect crumbly texture. Service was friendly and retro music vibes worked for a relaxingbrunch. Read more
Superb food and service. The "bone-in beef rib burger" is AMAZING. Medium rare, cooked to perfection, you easily slide the bone... out. The cheese, the level of moisture of the bread, and even the side salad (great tip from our server)... all great! The lavacake is definitely one of the best I've ever had. Lava cakes are simple but so difficult to get right! Yet, this absolutelyraised the bar for me. This place is a gem. Read more
Love this place. We attend post a swim at Kits pool. Happy hour has $5.50 craft beers and lots of excellent food at great... prices. Happy hour 4-6pm M-T and moves to 3-5pm on the other days. Keep this in mind. The staff are very friendly. Great to siton the patio and watch the world walk by. Read more
