ATTENTION BEFORE YOU EAT THEIR BRUNCH HERE, READ THIS REVIEW!! I have tried every single thing on the brunch menu. In summary, the arc restaurant was a good comfortable place to eat. With $39 before tax and $40.75 after tax, you can eat bottomless brunch with free of charge of tea, coffee and BC Berry Smoothies for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Since this place is very packed, I suggest you to book 2 months in advance to get your seats, and I also recommend you bring a large party consisting of at least 4 persons so that you can try everything! Service was very nice as usual a hotel dining experience. It also follow the strict rules of Covid with proper ventilations (certainly must be). Any cocktail or mocktail is outside the brunch menu, but it is not very recommended Now, lets get down for the each food included in the brunch menus: 5🌟: - Croque Madame —> best from all - Funnel Cake —> love it for the dessert the crunchiness and the taste is just so right - Ooey Gooey Skillet —> one of the best 4🌟: - Braised Pork Cheeks —> quite good - Salmon Benedict —> just like every salmon benedict, it is quite good - Harvest Grain Bowl —> I personally like the how it is healthy but it is also good - Jerk Fried Chicken —> not bad but should have used a waffle instead so the taste mixes better 3🌟: - Traditional Benedict —> just like every other your benedict - Avocado Toast —> just normal avocado toast - Breakfast Meats —> the most worth it - Buttermilk Biscuit —> it is actually good and you should order this while you wait for your other food 2🌟: - Beef Shortrib Poutine —> not what I hope from a good poutine - BC Berry Smoothie —> just a normal smoothie a bit not satisfying - Liege waffle —> not worth the try - Granola Parfait —> quite tasteless 1🌟: - Egg on toast —> unnecessary menu - Crispy potatoes —> tasteless and not worth the try In summary, I would recommend you to come here to give everything a try and especially the recommended one! Going back? Maybe? But definitely try it!

Went there for Christmas with my friend. Overall, a very nice experience. The food was good, excellent presentation but admittedly a bit overpriced. The staff was suuuper friendly, genuinely polite and nice, so that contributed positively to our experience. The reasons why I’m rating this experience with 4/5 instead of 5/5 are 1) that I’d expect a slight improve in the food to better reflect the prices 2) the fact that we were CHARGED for the drinks that the server told us were ON THE HOUSE.

Horrible experience. Attempted to go have lunch with a friend. When we first arrived we were waiting at the entrance of restaurant to be greeted and brought to a table. While waiting, another gentleman arrived and was greeted and brought to a table before us even though we were clearly waiting there before he even showed up. Eventually, we were brought over and seated at a table. We sat there for roughly 15-20 minutes without a single person coming up to us to even ask if we'd like a drink/water. Keep in mind, the restaurant maybe has 4 other tables occupied so by no means were they busy. We are watching everybody else get served except us. At this point, we decided that we should just leave and go elsewhere. We walked out without a single person stopping us or even noticing we left. It is extremely disappointing to receive such poor service and I will certainly never come back.

Had a great time trying out their AYCE weekend brunch. We ended up having 12 dishes and a complimentary dessert between the two of us. Loved the Ooey Gooey Skillet (croissant baked skillet with seasonal compote) and Short Rib Fried Rice the most. Would definitely go for second if I wasn’t so full. Service was excellent. Our server was friendly and fun. Food came out at a appropriate pace so didn’t feel rushed. Tips for people planning to try the AYCE weekend brunch: Go hungry, wear loose and comfortable clothing, pick a nice sunny day to go so you can walk around Waterfront to burn off all the calories, and most important of all, go with someone who loves food as much as you do.

We went here for the all you can brunch! I am totally in love with the concept and the ambience of the restaurant. It was all top notch for the price of $49 only. What slightly disappointed me was the taste - it was good but it wasn’t too bomb. It felt in between diner and hotel breakfast but still it was an experience I recommend especially at that price point. The parfait and desert skillet are a must try.

I went to the brunch last Sunday and it was amazing. The quality of the ingredients is really fresh and the taste is delicious. I loved the traditional Benedictine and my husband the salmon Benedictine but all the dishes were very good. The price is fair and the service good, the server was always asking if we would like to order more from the menu each time she passes and saw our dishes empty. I just did not like to much the berry shake juice, it was missing sugar for my taste. Also the place, environment and decoration are really comfortable. It was a great experience for sure.

We came here for the All Inclusive Weekend Brunch. Yes it is a tad expensive but the food is worth is! Our server Baba was fantastic, starting us out with round of biscuits and honey butter and some of her other recommendations. She kept the food coming at such a quick pace we could barely keep up! Don’t skip the Ooey Gooey Skillet or the Braised Short Rib Poutine. Would definitely love to come back and try the Arc After Dark menu!

This review is for their AYCE Weekend Brunch for $65/pp. Pro-tip: make sure you make a reservation in advance , booking system is via Opentable. We were promptly seated according to our reservation time. Greeted by our server and provide a run down of the inclusions. I had been previously but it had been a few years since. Food: I felt there was enough variety, though a lot of the dishes included some component of an egg. As it is bottomless, we opted to try as many dishes as possible (keeping in mind to limit food waste). Quite liked the Spicy Buttermilk Fried Chicken (not spicy tho but that’s okay), Roesti, and my fave was the 6” bone marrow with side of scrambled eggs and sourdough toast *drool*. Drinks: Comes with bottomless coffee or tea. My guest opted for the $24 mimosa trio flight which she enjoyed. Service: Food came surprisingly quick! I’m sure these dishes are half prepped in the back but I’m fine with that considering it is AYCE. Our server Saori was attentive (topped up our bottomless coffee when it was looking low), checked in on us frequently, asked if we wanted to order anything else and did so without judgment (I ate a lot haha). Atmosphere: Nice, bright space. We were seated window side low tables and had a decent view of the waterfront and “Vancouver” sign by the convention center. All in all, would I come back? For the value, yes. For ayce? For the sake of not putting on too many pounds over the holidays, prob will give it some time. Haha

Arc is a great spot with some really creative options. Based in the Fairmont Waterfront hotel, you expect it to not be cheap. Brunch was $65/person, but endless. The flavours left me wanting more (except for the biscuits... oh Good Lord, the biscuits!!!), but I certainly didn't leave hungry. The service was excellent, the atmosphere, nice but overall, a good spot.

The food here is absolutely delicious. We came here for their weekend brunch special and it was amazing! We wish we were even hungrier so we could try more items. Alcina was our server and she was awesome! She was so kind and so funny, she definitely added to our whole experience here. I highly recommend checking this place out for their brunch special!

All the good things you want for your Saturday brunch. One of the most delicious outstanding brunch food I've had while eating out. Portions are fair enough, coffee is fresh and staff were friendly and attentive. Great place, fell in love immediately and will definitely come back.

Great gathering place. Spacious and bright. Its a great place for lunch or have a drink and light food. However, turkey sandwich was extremely dry, the bread was hard and the little sauce wasn't blend with the dry cheese. The salmon was ok, but the taste wasn't that great for the price. We do enjoy their cocktails only.

I visited ARC several years ago (brunch as well) and I knew I wanted to come back since it's a nice experience, with pretty good food in a great environment. A quick rundown of the items I had: Ooey Gooey Skillet - So heavy, decadent, but good. It reminds me of a fresh Porto's cheese roll, but even much more decadent. Roesti - Wife complained that salmon was way too oily and didn't eat it. Only dish we ended up not finishing. It's sitting on top of a hash brown that we first thought was just an English Muffin, that part was good. Dutch Baby - Not a sweet pancake. It's a savory housing basically a burrata and arugula salad. I enjoyed it. Braised Lamb Shakshuka Beef Shortrib Poutine - They of course have a poutine. Luckily it's pretty good, not overly salty and fries were crisp when it arrived. Pork Benedict - Tasty flavor from the pork, not overly salty. Bone Marrow - I never get the allure of eating bone marrow, but the wife liked it enough to get it twice. You can ask for no bread if you don't want it. Spicy Buttermilk Fried Chicken - Really good. Better than I've had at other places, but could not really taste the spicy flavor. Great balance of sweet & savory though. Mimosa Tasting Flight - Nice to look at and take photos. I imagine many girls order it. Flavors all sound appealing, but I really just tasted the champagne mostly. Blackberry Mule - It was alright. Would be better if there were some more fresh muddled blackberries inside to add more overall flavor. ARC is located within The Fairmont (nicer hotel) and the decor of the place is fitting. Nice, spacious interior, better than I've seen in higher-end restaurants. We sat right by where we could see the rain outside downtown, city tourist vibes. It was a cold January but the heaters along the front of the windows more than warm the place up. In fact, since the window seats are right by the heaters I actually got to hot even after taking my jacket off. The server was very nice (is too nice a thing!? lol) She was attentive and we never felt like she was not there when trying to order more food. I know some people (the more anxious type) who might be bothered by this almost overzealous type of service. But I'd much rather have it than have no or bad service, and than they still want a 20%+ tip for.... There is a parking structure (several) serving the area but since you are downtown, be prepared to pay a premium. This was the most I paid for parking my entire Vancouver trip, I think it was $5/half hour. Compared to that I remember thinking how cheap parking was in general at all other places. While I very much enjoy the AYCE brunch at ARC and none of the food I've had there has been bad there are a few things they could improve on. I did find some of the portions too big, such as the Spicy Buttermilk Fried Chicken. If you are like me you are going to order many dishes at once, but along with that things get cold quickly as you are eating. I wanted to get another of the chicken, and I would have if the portion was smaller, but I was full and did not want to waste food. It might throw the kitchen logistics off, but something like half-portion options would be great and elevate my experience here. It seemed like almost everything came with a poached egg which I know is a brunch staple but some other variations would be appreciated. The drinks were not my favorite overall, but they did look nice. I'm guessing they can't control it, but some type of parking validation would be great especially since it's not the cheapest meal. If you are looking for a great (AYCE) brunch option with variety you should check out ARC. Cheers!

Dine Out brunch on this rainy day with friends. We parked nearby on Cordova Street which was $10/hour. Our brunch time was limited to 90 minutes. For $49 (regularly $65), you get unlimited coffee, tea, smoothies and a wide range of menu items. I would have liked to try everything but that would have been a waste of food. I settled with 3 items, which were all regular sized so I didn't have room for more. Food was good, but the fried chicken was overcooked. You can see Canada Place across the street. There was a musician playing guitar and singing, but it was not loud so the atmosphere was pleasant. The service was really good. Staff were always around filling up glasses, making sure you were happy with your meal, checking if you want anything else..... Overall, I really enjoyed this Dine Out.

I went with family for All inclusive Brunch. 65$ PP. Food is good. But you can order two items per person in one go. Serving size is very small. Then wait to order some more. Takes too much time and you can hardly order anything after two rounds as one feels full. I will go again for sure but better option is Ala Carte.

I went on a rainy Monday morning at the end of winter in February. My wife booked us a table to celebrate our anniversary. ARC is elegantly decorated with modern touches. The service was top-notch, very attentive, and polite. Everything on the menu looks fantastic but we settled for the salmon benedict, a traditional breakfast and a side order of pancakes. They even took the time to write happy anniversary on top of the pancakes, i was pleasantly surprised.

We went for their bottomless brunch this weekend and were extremely satisfied. It was a lot of fun to be able to try many different plates, well worth the price. My favourites were the Croque Madame, the B.C. Berry Basket Smoothie, and the buttermilk biscuit with honey butter. I did have much more than that but I’ll let the pictures show the rest. I’d highly recommend if you’re willing to pay for a high end food experience.

The establishment needs to be retrained in customer service. The staff were rude and by far the worst service dining in Vancouver. Horrible experience. Attempted to go have lunch with a friend. When we first arrived we were waiting at the entrance of restaurant to be greeted and brought to a table. While waiting, another gentleman arrived and was greeted and brought to a table before us even though we were clearly waiting there before he even showed up. Eventually, we were brought over and seated at a table. We sat there for roughly 15-20 minutes without a single person coming up to us to even ask if we'd like a drink/water. Keep in mind, the restaurant maybe has 4 other tables occupied so by no means were they busy. We are watching everybody else get served except us. At this point, we decided that we should just leave and go elsewhere. We walked out without a single person stopping us or even noticing we left. It is extremely disappointing to receive such poor service and I will certainly never come back.

Great dinner. One of the best and most interesting Caesar, wild blend of acid and flavor. Amazing grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup. Great selection of cocktails. Highly recommend

Dinning with a view of waterfront (not waterfront view) 🏞 Food was really good, service was really good! I came with reservation for early dinner and I really enjoyed everything. I do feel like the food experience for this price point is a bit not too worth (appetizer of 2 balls is $19) but everything was 100% tasty!

Unbelievable assortment of small gourmet plates. WOW

Great service and the dining experience was enjoyable overall. We came here for the weekend brunch and for the price and place, it's a pretty good deal. There's a 2 hour seating time limit I think? But we were able to try everything we wanted to. Not every dish was outstanding and I'd definitely avoid the breakfast meats the next time, it's like your sub par contention al breakfast assortment of sausage, ham, and bacon. But there were also a few wide-eye inducing dishes such as the braised pork cheeks, beef short rib poutine, and croque madam (can you tell I like my meats 😂). Order your next round of food while you're just past halfway through what you've got on the table, the food takes a bit of time to get to the table. But I'd say it's worth trying. In terms of revisit-ability though, I'm not sure if I'll be coming back anytime for weekend brunch. I think my curiosity's been satiated and there's nothing that wow-ed me enough to want to go back any time soon.

Tried the all you can eat brunch and it did not disappoint. I'll start with the service, our server was attentive and friendly. One of the managers also came by the table to check up on us. Can only say good about the service here. The food. Oh the food. Small plates and they'll allow you to order two at a time. This allowed us to pace ourselves and not order everything at once. Every dish we tried was good. The best though, the apple skillet. The sous chef brought this to our table and said it was their favourite. It soon became ours as well. Aside from this dish, the biscuits are a must! Now was it worth the price.. hmm I'm not so sure. Though if I was craving those biscuits, I'd prob be tempted to come back!

Arc is lovely place with large windows facing the north shore mountains to enjoy a fun meal with great company. We had a leisurely weekend brunch trying out the extensive all inclusive menu. Items come on small plates so that you can taste the full menu with friends. Food favourites: The warm biscuits with honey butter, fresh berries and jerk chicken (without the funnel cake) were my top picks. Others on the table really like the Ooey Gooey skillet, smoked salmon Benny, sausage and bacon. Menu tip: If there are specific items from the plate that you liked, you can order just that your next order. Eg just the fresh berries without the granola parfait. Refinement Opportunities for five stars: The poached eggs were over done for the items we received so the cook time could be more closely watched. The seasoning on the avocado toast was lacking so could be improved and the migras taco could use more cheese and seasoning in the sauce for more depth of flavour. Service and ambiance: Overall everything is done well in this beautiful setting. Our server was welcoming, knowledgeable and attentive. He had our coffee, tea, water and smoothies refilled as needed.

Their weekend brunch was awesome! I particularly like their breakfast flights among other yummy food. Their bennies was great and their pastries was top notch. We were at the patio and that added to the superb experience we had. Everything was great, from the food to the service. It was a busy weekend and the only downside was the food was a bit slow. Other than that, we had a great time and we will be back!

This place deserves nothing short of a 5/5 rating. The soup, the coffee, the sandwich, the fries and the dessert all surprised us with unique flavors and great presentation as you can see from the photos. We had friendly service from the entire staff that very patiently answered our questions about the items on the menu. There appears to be an extensive selection of alcohol as well for those looking to pair their meals with alcohol. Lastly, the location is great and sits close to the waterfront, making this place ideal for a dinner date or business meal. Thank you to the entire team for the really great dining experience.

Food,service,location are great. Definitely worth it coming and experience it. We went for all inclusive weekend brunch and had great time. They have vegetarian and vegan substitutes

Very good 💯food

Went to Arc after Dark and really was not impressed. Heard about it through all the hype on social media, but it did not live up to expectations. Food was very average, nothing was amazing. Drinks were overpriced for the quality, and took a long time to come out. Overall it was very underwhelming.

Blahhh Brunch When you go to brunch at ARC you have two choices going for the order brunch menu and the a la cart menu. The all you can eat menu looked heavy so we went for the a la cart. In short nothing stood out as me as special for the price we paid. The coffee though organic tasted burnt. The pancakes fluffy didn’t have a crunch or caramelization for that heightened experience. The crab egg Benny was pleasant but plain. The $9 bacon was mostly fat.

65$ brunch is amazing late breakfast experience! Food is great compared to other breakfast places in downtown However service is very slow. I had 7+ plates so 65$ was a fair price. I recommend to come here hungry ;) Updated: showed up next time, that 65$ brunch in only during the weekends... People STILL wear face masks here! Thats pathetic

It was a truly great experience. The food, prepared with fresh ingredients, was exquisite, and the server was incredibly friendly. Special attention was given to accommodate the children's requests for specific dishes, and their thoughtful service extended to promptly replacing any dropped utensils before we even had to ask. Highly recommended.

Went there for dinner with friends. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful. The ambiance, the service, the food, everything was ON POINT! What an incredible experience. Highly recommend this place.

Their all you can eat menu is amazing. Super diverse and delicious!

It was my second time here, and we had the all you can eat brunch. The food was so delicious, I wish we went with more people to try everything before getting too full. My favourite dish would be the dessert. It was just perfect. 10/10 would go again.

We tried the weekend brunch which we unexpectedly fell upon. It is a set price with unlimited amount of plate orders. On Fridays I choose to be pescatarian and wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to make the meal “worth” it. I was pleasantly surprised I was able to try a variety of things without feeling limited. I enjoyed the parfait, avocado toast, salmon Benedict, harvest grain bowl, breakfast taco, and waffle. My favourites were the parfait, harvest grain bowl and the waffle. The others were ok, very standard flavours. Would I come back again? YES! The staff was so pleasant and the brunch is discounted on weekdays 😋. A must try!

Came for the Friday bottomless brunch. Everything was very tasty! Nothing we didn't like and our server was very attentive. All the staff here were so nice. We tried alot of dishes! Definitely great value as it is 15% off on Fridays.

We didn’t have a reservation so we had sit outside. Which was totally fine cause it wasn’t raining and they have propane heaters so didn’t have to wear a jacket while eating. We came for the all you can eat brunch! Kids under 5 eat free too! There are 15 items on the menu to choose from. You can order 8 dishes at a time. We tried most of the items on the menu. We didn’t like the Parfait. The Avocado coconut yogurt was not good at all. It had no sweetness to it. But everything else was delicious and well seasoned. Favourite items have to be the jerk fried chicken, beef short rib poutine, and the braised pork cheeks. The jerk fried chicken was super moist and had a nice crunch to it. The funnel cakes and maple syrup was a nice compliment to the chicken. The maple syrup had a bit of heat but nothing crazy. The beef short rib poutine was so good! We order 2 orders. What’s there not to like?? The beef short rib was a nice portion and was tender and well season. This place is pretty busy and the line ups were long. I would book ahead to get a reservation. We were able to get a table with out making a reservation but it was outside. Food did take a little long to get in between orders. Like I said this place does get very busy for lunch. August 28 2021 - Update. We decided to come back today for breakfast. We didn’t get the brunch today and ordered from the menu. We did have a reservation booked from yesterday. Being a Saturday this place was busy. The food took forever to come. We didn’t order anything complicated. It was pretty much eggs bacon and toast. Our server seemed to be overwhelmed. Other customers were waiting for their bill and even their food. She struggled to manage her tables. I waited 35 minutes to get jam and butter for my toast. Finally I got up and grabbed my own jam and peanut butter. After waiting I requested to have new toast, as my toast was cold. My recommendation is not to come on the weekends as it’s super busy. If you don’t mind waiting and just want to relax with the family then come on down. It is a beautiful restaurant. Based off my second dining experience. Going to downgrade to 3 stars. Hopefully you will get a better server. I understand it can be busy but the restaurant should have the proper number of server for the number tables.

Great super service! Our server was awesome. Frequently checked up on us, brought us water without us asking, made sure my kid was happy, had full knowledge of the menu. We had the weekend brunch buffet and the food was amazing.

We visited this restaurant for their all you can eat afternoon brunch on Sunday afternoon. The food tasted good, but service was extremely slow. Also, brunch food is pretty filling so I didn’t think it was worth the price.

Our reservation at another restaurant didn't work out today as they decided to cancel lunch on Boxing Day. So, we walked to the ARC. For lunch, we had the choice of A la carte or All Inclusive. Even though we weren't planning to eat a lot, the idea of tasting various items in small portions appealed to us. So, the three of us decided to go for the All Inclusive option. Our first round included Bone Marrow, Roesti, Smoked Salmon Benedict, Pork Benedict, and Dutch Baby. The food came hot, and it was great that we didn't have to line up at a buffet bar to collect items that were not freshly prepared. I was the one who ordered the bone marrow, and it the most boring of all the items. Our second round order included: Dutch Baby, Spicy Buttermilk Fried Chicken, and Bircher Muesli. The Dutch Baby was more 'empty' than I expected – it was extremely light and was missing the custardy part. But the prosciutto was very enjoyable. The Bircher Muesli was very delicious and I might try to make that at home. Our third round included: Ooey Gooey Skillet, French Toast, and Buttermilk Fried Chicken. We didn't do so well in this round as most of us were already very full. This is certainly a great way to eat. Our server was extremely attentive which made me regret that I had forgotten to add a Christmas Bonus to the gratuity. We would definitely try this again another time.

The vegetarian dish that I ordered was creamy and delightful. The portion size looked smaller but totally sufficient and filling. Service can be better as the staff was too busy with other customers or so that they did not share the drinks menu and we had to ask multiple times. Atmosphere was too crowded during lunch time. Not a quiet ambience but the interior decor is great treat to the eyes. Overall a warm experience and can come again for the tasty food.

I enjoyed a delightful dinner in the private room, where the atmosphere was pleasingly tranquil. The food quality exceeded my expectations for its price range, especially the sablefish, which is the best I've ever had; I wholeheartedly recommend it. However, the seafood tower was merely average. While the service was generally good, it was a bit on the slower side.

Top notch restaurant in downtown Vancouver. The service and food was absolutely amazing. This is an amazing place to chill, relax and grab a bite. 10/10 would go again! Thanks for the hospitality!

Arc restaurant is located inside the fairmont hotel. Very sleek and stylish designed interior and most comfortable seating. Bar is classy too Extremely polite mannered , efficient and welcoming serving staff who not only serve you your meal but engage you into a conversation that makes you even more comfortable. Stopped for breakfast here and ordered orange juice and cappuccino to start. Juice is not freshly squeezed but tastes good. Cappuccino was served with a almond biscuit and tasted just so perfect. Avocado toast is single served with arugula n poached eggs which you can get on the side. Apple cinnamon french toast was soft and yummy. Looking forward to try more items from the menu

Our attendant Julie was incredible and the service that she provided to us was exeptional. The dinning experience was beyond every expectations that we could have ever possibly had. And the food was exquisite 👌

Do yourself a favour and go for the bottomless brunch. Standout dishes for us were the salmon benedict and skillet, but we tried everything and it was all excellent. The service was lovely as well. It was great way to celebrate our anniversary. 10/10.

Came for their bottomless brunch, and really enjoyed all of their menu items. I try the majority of the menu with a friend and can say that this is good for everyone. If you want to be healthy or if you want to be vegetarian, there’s plenty of options. Tried Squash benedict uses the squash as the bread, very good Salmon benedict, good Meusli I loved Smoothie very healthy and refreshing Chorizo birria taco good Buttermilk biscuits came with amazing butter but the biscuits were ok. I love everything else on the menu more Banana crepes I didn’t care for The other sweet dish “ooey gooy skillet” was essentially a peach cobbler and sooo good. Fav item on the menu Their chicken and waffles i liked and especially the chicken wasn’t relying on the fried part for all taste. 65$ a person includes drip coffee and tea

This is a "special" place - something to TREAT yourself to, if you simply want to "chill out" or take time out from a busy schedule; or simply to enjoy wonderful food.... maybe a meal or a "snack" - be creative with a delicious selection from a pre-dinner menu; and accompany with a relaxing drink, whether it be a cappuccino or a decadent wine! I needed to rest after a lot of walking, and it was a late lunch and early dinner for me! GREAT professional and caring service! Just what I needed! I had some nibbles along with a delicious glass of sparkling white wine before experiencing a great dish of deepfried and wonderfully marinated Chicken Wings, with lovely side dish of salad and bowl of fries..... Later I enjoyed a cappuccino. Take your time and enjoy the views with a window seat!

Was there the other day, and had a good time. The service was a a bit slow to start, but overall it was good. I was graciously seated by the manager I believe. I had the four course set menu from local fresh ingredients, and it did not disappoint (albeit the seeds in the strawberry orange salad - though the flavour was good).The risotto was amazing and had rich flavour, the duck was very tender and the bean/bacon was a good addition - I only hoped for a bit more, such as mashed potatoes or a little something. Loved the lavender atop the honey gelato and strawberry/rhubarb compote. I think I described that right..lol. Was impressed with one male expediter/busser, who was gentle kind and professional (can't remember his name but I think it was something like Mora/Omar?, I could be way off base). Loved the rooftop honey with my tea.

We came in for the bottomless brunch on a nice Saturday morning. The food and service were as advertised, and more. They have this lovely mimosa flight that's a must if you go. Come hungry and work your way through the menu

This hotel & restaurant was across from our hotel. Emilee was a great host! She was honest & told us what was good to eat here at Arc & gave us other nearby restaurants to visit. We wanted a light snack. The chicken wings & fried cauliflower were yummy! We also had a drink.

Stayed at the hotel for five days and was so happy to have such a great restaurant within! Service was great (especially from Katie the bartender and Adrianne the server), we were always greeted with a “welcome back”, feels nice to be remembered! The brunch was delicious and probably the highlight of all our meals there. Great dinner and cocktail menu too. Have a seat at the bar to meet fun and interesting people!

Gorgeous restaurant right by the waterfront with a fantastic view. I went for the all inclusive weekend brunch (65$ per person) and had a great time. Food was delicious and it was a great way to sample a variety of dishes. They have very food vegetarian and vegan substitutes. Salmon egg benny and their fried chicken funnel cake were my faves. Service was beyond excellent, friendly, and attentive. We had Darrin and I felt like he made the experience 10x better. Can't wait to come back!

BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE ! Seriously 😍 I highly recommend this restaurant. Everything was great ! The food is absolutely delicious and customer service is excellent. I’d definitely come back again.

Great cocktails and appys

Not bad of service and quality was good

Arc after Dark is the best ! Great Fairmont staff .

A lot of great food! It's a great all you can eat place!

Came here twice for all you can eat breakfast and it was absolutely delicious! Definitely worth the price for good quality food. They did increase the price and got rid of a few items since I last went but I recommend at least trying to eat here once to experience it. Great service and super clean restaurant

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant at Fairmont Waterfront. The service is unmatched and the staff truly cares. James served us this Valentines Day and I cannot speak highly enough of him. The Heart After Dark menu is made up of 14 small plates by Chef Michael Pagnacco, and is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted melted in our mouths. Easily the best dining experience we have had in our first year in Canada. Highly recommend!

All Inclusive brunch was amazing, if you have a big appetite you can eat everything. Are a good portion, not small, not big. Just right to eat and try everything.

Came here for their bottomless weekend brunch and for $39/p you can get 17 different brunch items and free coffee and tea! It's pretty worth if you're able to eat a lot and you want delicious food. The service was nice and the food came out pretty fast. Majority of everything we tried was so good. The benny, pork cheeks and beef short rib poutine was my favourite! I would skip out on the breakfast meats though. The ooey gooey skillet was the best sweet item on the menu with the buttery croissants, caramelized apples, and cream cheese icing. Definitely worth checking out!

I went to ARC for dinner, the food was good but it could be much better for a luxury place like this. I loved the environment and the staff behavior, very professional. The head staff was very friendly and he was doing a great job taking care of all the guests. I give 4/5 for now because I expected more from ARC.

Great service fro. everyone, delicious all you can eat brunch on the weekends! Do reserve because it gets very busy.

Food was really great. Server was really knowledgeable with the menu.

Have you tried this place out? Because you NEED TO!! We were guests at this restaurant for Arc after Dark and oh my god the food was 10/10!! 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️ they were cooked thoroughly and marinated just enough and everything kind of melted in the mouth! The customer service was flawless! They were the best staff I have seen in a restaurant! So much respect and attention to detail! I would recommend this place to anyone 100%!

I'm giving it three stars not because food or service was bad but for the prices on the menu I expected way better service and the food was just ok. To be fair their chowder soup was amazing but I couldn't even finish my desert because the crust was hard to chew and there was nothing special about it which is a huge disappointment for someone who loves desert.

Arc After Dark menu is amazing great value!

yummy stuff

Great location, but it seemed there were not enough servers because our service was slow and they looked like they were all working really hard.

This was an absolutely amazing experience. My SO and I went for the all inclusive breakfast which is $35 per person and has an amazing selection, plus it includes coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Our waitress was on top of everything through the whole meal, offering us food and drinks before they were needed. Everything we ordered came right from the kitchen, instead of being a buffet style offering. The chef delivered one of our items and talked to us about the meal and the recipe behind it. When we ordered the honey butter biscuits we were told that the honey had been from their own garden. The portions were quite filling, and I couldn't even try everything I wanted since everything was just too good. I'm so thrilled that we chose to go here on a whim. We will certainly be returning and recommending this place to everyone we know.

Went for the all-inclusive brunch and it was definitely worth the $35 per person! Every dish we tried was cooked to perfection! There were 17 different items on the menu, which also included coffee and tea. Our favourites were the jerk chicken, braised pork cheeks and harvest grain bowl. The dining experience was great and we felt very safe, they took our temperature at reception and had hand sanitizer available for us. Highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing experience hands down, the waitress Karen was one of the best waitresses I've ever had. I asked to specialize a menu item on their buffet list and she made it happen! She was very kind and compassionate. She always had my drink refilled and my girlfriends as well. The food was great 👍 no complaints, just a perfect restaurant experience.

Went for the new Arc after Dark 35/per person bottomless small plate experience. Our reservation was for a busy Friday evening. Understandably, the table was restricted to ordering 2 plates per person to avoid overloading the kitchen. While the menu states that Arc after Dark ran from 5-9pm, we were told that last order for food was at 845. With our reservation being at 8pm, we were worried about receiving the "'whole" experience, but our server ensured us that we would have enough time to place enough orders to be satisfied with our visit. Pros: The food was great. Cons: Service was either very disorganized or they were understaffed. After sitting, we saw our server once in the first 1/2 hour. Because of this, our table of 4 felt pressed for time ordering enough food to get our money's worth. In the end, our server allowed us to place a final order after 845.. however, miscommunication with the kitchen led to our table not receiving this order. Our server was oblivious to this and even tried to convince our table that we had received everything that we had ordered. Overall an average experience, due to the fact that restaurant has some kinks to work out with respect to how to best execute this concept.

Great service, atmosphere . Also a beautiful location.

Our waiter was the highlight of our experience as he was very kind and happy to tend to any of our requests! Food was also great so that was a bonus.

Great place to relax with a drink in the lounge or have a quiet meal. Amazing views of the convention center plaza and harbour. Great food and outstanding service, especially Frank and Brian at the bar. Highly recommended if you are in the Canada Place area.

Went to the all you can eat appetizer special, food was terrible and the waiter was rude. Wont ever be coming back here again.

too good service

Weekend brunch is amazing

Had an all you can eat. Some were hit and misses but others were very good. Servers were friendly. Had a good time.

Went for the bottomless brunch. Service is very fairmont. Friendly and attentive. The pig cheeks and croque madame are my favourite! The ooey gooey was an amazing dessert! Although we find the jerk chicken and poutine on average size as the gravy is just missing something in my opinion. But will be back for sure when family or friends come to visit in the future.

Great experience. Excellent food and service by Server Alcina made the whole experience 10 times better.Definitely recommend this place . Left in food coma🤪

Excellent restaurant and lounge! We went for the After Dark menu and it was so worth it for the price! Would 100% recommend and will go again.

Never there

ARC restaurant, the food, the service, the taste, everything was great. The decor was also good. Definitely worth it coming to experience it. We tried almost all the inclusive brunch items. The location was good because after eating all these delicious meals, you are going to want to take a walk. Would definitely come back, after all this settle!

Food was delicious but our server Alcina is what made it an experience to remember!!!

Great environment, lots of distance from other tables. Food (after dark) was superb and service was amazing. Banh mi toast, mussel pasta, and shortrib pasta 10/10

Food and drinks are delicious absolutely worth the visit. The bartender, Kate, always provides amazing service. 😊

Had weekend brunch here ($39/person). Very disappointing! very low quality! I'm a big fan of this resto but that was the first time I tried their weekend brunch. Def won't recommend it

It was below expectations. We did not like your ALL-INCLUSIVE BRUNCH concept since the service was poor/slow and the food not fresh as we can expect for a Fairmont. We would not go back and would not recommend it.

I would ABSOLUTELY recommend here. Their food is delicious, especially braised beef shortrib and smoked steelhead. The staff are very nice and professional. We got bottomless smal plates and the portion and quality of the foods were so worth the price. Thank you very much.
