Pacific House — Restaurant in Vancouver

Great service!

I have frequented PH off and on since they opened. They have always delivered consistently throughout!

Very attentive staff, very friendly and approachable!

I tried the Tuna melt with the house mixed greens, radish, carrot, and beets salad.

GREAT quality veggies 90%. Some of the radish slices were brown.. taste the same but poor presentation for picky patrons (I ate em all and enjoyed it the samea). Just a note for the chefs!

Carrots, radish, and beets were perfectly ripe, not a single overly bitter or sweet bite, but LOTS of thick, chunky, and chewy bites. While tasty, my jaw was a tired consuming! May want to change up the sizing a bit when you have so many harder veggies involved. Made the fresh lettuce seem lifeless and lack luster and well, I was tired jaw wise half way through. It was the equivalency of eating a full long and healthy carrot mid-meal honestly. And pairing that with a perfectly toasted Tuna melts that's a TON of chewing!

The Melt... ah, tuba melts are my FAVORITES! You either love or hate them! This was NOT your standard melt!

Great quality Sour Dough, perfect lunch size portion, decent cheese I think but paired with garlic Aioli it was hard to taste the true cheddar flavor so it's a bit out om verdict there. I really felt it literally held the main parts together and give texture vs add real flavor. Could also be that it was a mild vs heavier. For a melt to be a real melt, cheese, bread, and meat, make this sandwich. So less appeal without one of the mains giving only a 70%. Meat was GREAT quality, and fresh! Huge points for that! I did not feel as if eating canned TUNA but an actual fillet section- huge bonus!

I prefer the dill side of the house vs this, but it really was not a bad option at all for those with more open palates. The meat was HEARTY, and great quality. Was a bit unexpected for a melt fan. I would like to see some onion added in to add both texture and flavor. Dill may have ruined the overall, so I understand its vacancy. Still, I would like to see what these chefs could do on a more traditional side of this great cafe go to! I think it could be even...

Ah intrepid travelers, seekers of gustatory grandeur, I’m afraid I am honor bound to tell nothing but the truth, as much as it pains me.

So first I will start with the good. The staff were a delight! Greeting an old codger like a long lost uncle with genuine welcoming smiles. Really one of the friendliest greetings I’ve had in years. My waitress simply radiated an aura that filled Pacific House with good vibes. I liked the hanging plants in the windows, the place was clean, the light was great, it was all kind of perfect.

And then we roll onto the food. The Butternut Squash Soup was excellent, a nice little bite to it to balance out the sweet. Things were looking good, a solid 5 stars rising up over the horizon like Orion’s Belt.

And finally we arrive at the main event, the center of the meal, that one simple thing that should as simple and as important as a calling card. My BLT.

And my first thought is, well… it’s ok. Not fantastic, but ok. And then I realize that this icon of sandwiches, this paragon of diners and deli’s actually has a problem. It’s dry. In fact, it’s one of the driest BLT’s I’ve ever had. The toast is good, but it was on the dry side. The tomato added some moisture, but not enough and was not spread evenly so that whatever moisture it did provide, was all on one side. There was not much lettuce or dressing.

I really wanted to leave an Orion’s Belt of stars, everything else was so great, but the more I chewed on that sandwich that more those stars dimmed on the horizon and the more I hoped you would read this and see it as constructive critique, because honestly I love your place.

A BLT is such a deceptively simple thing. I mean theoretically we’re just talking about 4 basic ingredients with some additives. Bread, Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato, (and of course mayo, spices and stuff). But it’s how they put it together that makes magic. If a restaurant can do it right, then as far as I’m concerned, they are masters of the universe. If you folks got your BLT’s in order, you could create an inter...

Can confirm these people are horrible! If you have the option to go anywhere else I suggest that you do it because you're supporting a business that casually over serves people and then pushes them out the door. I have the displeasure of trying to get home one of the patrons that was a guest of this establishment and he nearly had a medical emergency in my car due to the over serving of alcohol that he consumed at this establishment. I do not think these people should have a liquor license, I do not think these people should serve food to humans; and I think that these people should not run a business if they're going to treat their customers as disposable. I could not be more disgusted with what I witnessed, I actually watched a bartender help this man stand to his feet and then push him into my cab where he fell over onto my back seat, this type of service is Criminal and should not be accepted.

Whoever is in charge of responding to these reviews or is in charge of running this business you need to shape up before the police are involved in a fatality that you caused by over serving someone alcohol. If you can't take that seriously maybe you shouldn't be running this business.

Imho Alex should be fired, he's not fit for...
