   There are much better options in the lower mainland. Food is lacking in presentation and flavor. The restaurant cleanliness also needs improvement and there is an off putting smell as soon as you walk in.

   Dear Jon, Appreciate the feedback—but it’s a bit of a stretch to judge our food quality based on just two dishes, one being a classic breakfast with eggs, sausage, and potatoes. It’s not meant to be flashy, just solid and satisfying. We’re open to criticism, but when someone says “there are better restaurants in the Lower Mainland,” that feels more like a sweeping opinion than a fair comparison. Sure, some places do things differently—that’s the beauty of variety. But let’s keep it real. We’ll still take your notes seriously and look into the concerns you raised. Cheers, Erkan

   The Hart House is a beautiful restaurant in a great setting. However, the quality of the food at the prices leaves a lot to be desired. For example, the caesar salad had no dressing or cheese and was just a few pieces of wilted lettuce with crutons and a few roasted cauliflower florets. The brisket burger was mediocre. If the food could be made tastier, then it would be a great dining experience.

   Great food, staff were friendly and the vibe was cozy but not loud. Prices were fair for the quality. Would definitely come back!

   Well I have been a Google guide for about 6 yrs and I have about over 1 1/2 million views of my pictures. I have been to the Hart house many times and I really like this place !! It's a hidden gem that not a lot of people know about! Where in the lower mainland of Vancouver can you find a restaurant that you can drive up to the main entrance and park for free while you go inside and have some fine dining? Hart house offers a unique dining experience with the price of going to the white spot or Dennys!! Today my wife and I and 2 friends visiting Canada had brunch . I hade the chicken and waffles with a free range egg with real whipping cream and real maple syrup and it was very good! My wife and her 2 friends ordered eggs benny with potatoes but received smashed potatoes. My wife and I could get smashed potatoes at the white spot that's why we never go to the white spot . Smashed potatoes are I believe boiled potatoes then deep fried and smashed not what we consider the kind of potatoes to be served at a fine dining restaurant. So my wife never ate the potatoes and herc2 friends ate a bit of them but most of them will go to the crows! The servers should be told to explain the potatoes served cause the menu is a little misleading. Tbe potatoes served the previous time were chopped up potatoes not smashed very dissapointing. My wife asked yo speak to the manager and the manager offered to not charge for the breakfast for my wife but my wife declined saying that she did not come for a free breakfast. I was in the washroom when this discussion was going on and apparently we were offered a free dessert but thatcwas declined. That was very nice but I think the manager should have given a discount as a good gesture even if my wife declined the offer. This won't stop me from coming to the Hart house because it is a nice restaurant and I still highly recommend it!!

   Dear John, Thank you for the thoughtful review and for continuing to recommend us! We truly appreciate your long-time support and kind words. We used to serve more "fine dining" style potatoes, but switched to smashed potatoes, which have been very well received overall. It’s always a challenge to please every palate when it comes to something as personal as potatoes! Your feedback helps us improve, and we hope to welcome you back soon. Erkan Esgin
