Awesome service and delicious food in a beautiful restaurant. The food presentation is beautiful and is served promptly. I highly recommend the scallops and if available the, uni. The brussel sprouts are addictive. I will have the lamb on my next visit. For desert, the Green Tea Opera is outstanding! Don’t miss this gem in Vancouver!

Had my wife's birthday dinner. Food was good. Service was good. We had the roasted chicken and the filet a la hys. It was drafty where we were sitting making the experience not as enjoyable as our usual visits to Hys.
