​ Vancouver | "Diet? Never Heard of Her" - Gotham Steakhouse Feast 🥩

This iconic Vancouver steakhouse has been on my bucket list forever - and it did not disappoint! Located right by HR, we hopped off the Skytrain ready to meat our destiny (sorry, had to 😆). 💃 ​​Dress Code Note:​​ They claim to have one, but we spotted grandpas in Hawaiian shirts 👕🌺 - so wear what makes you feel fancy! 🦟 ​​Patio vs. Indoor:​​ Chose patio for vibes, but bug alert - bring repellent or layer up! ​​🍽️ Course-by-Course Breakdown:​​ ​​🦪 Fresh Oysters (3/5)​​ Fresh but basic - save your $$ for the good stuff ​​🥣 Lobster Bisque (1/5)​​ Saltier than the Dead Sea 🧂⚰️ (Their clam chowder is tomato-based though!) ​​🧀 Cheese Toast (5/5)​​ Crack in toast form - so rich we got full after one slice! 🤤 ​​🍤 Garlic Shrimp (4/5)​​ Perfectly garlicky, but at $30.5 for 4 shrimp... yikes ​​🥩 Bone-in Rib Steak (5/5)​​ 20oz of pure bliss - that crust! That juice! That buttery aroma! 🤯 Ordered medium - chef’s kiss 👨‍🍳💋 ​​🍟 Sides:​​ Onion rings + fries + asparagus (all half portions = genius!) ​​🍮 Sticky Toffee Pudding (3/5)​​ Fine but basic - needed more toffee punch! ​​🍹 Cocktails:​​ ​​Sunset Boulevard​​ - Tequila + peach = dangerously good 🍑💥 ​​Dream Catcher​​ - Sweet & sour perfection 🌈 💰 ​​Damage:​​ $150+/person (worth it for special occasions!) 📍 ​​Gotham Steakhouse​​ 615 Seymour St, Vancouver #steaklover #vancouvereats #splurgeworthy #dateideas #meatcoma #cocktailvibes #foodiefails #datenight #vancouversteak
