I'm coming from the Bay Area, so maybe I've got a chip on my shoulder about haute cuisine. But when wines start at $80 a bottle and a plate of pasta starts at $36, then you're adding a whole new meaning to haute cuisine. Being in the top story, in a revolving restaurant, adds another nice layer of meaning.

The food was definitely sold: I had their duck trio, the kids had pasta carbonara, the wife had the lamb shank, and my host had a second mortgage taken out to pay for it all.

But you know what? Everyone who ordered the Belgian chocolate terrine for dessert has since declared that it was the highlight of our trip to BC.

Leaving Canada the following day, we decided to finish our holiday in Top of Vancouver. The views during the one revolution per hour turn are stunning and the food and service were surprisingly good. It's not the tourist place you might expect so for either an 'up'scale or romantic dinner I would certainly recommend. Would visit again!

Nice food and slow service so we were not hurried. We ate at 7pm and left at 9.30 which allowed us to see the city from daylight to nightfall. There were no long waits between courses and we felt that we were not being pushed out of the door next seating. An enjoyable evening.

We had an amazing time celebrating the end of our honeymoon with a special meal. The views of course were brilliant and a lovely atmosphere was created with the low lighting and soft jazz music. Our waitress, Amber, was brilliant and she really took the time to chat to us and to make sure we were having a great time. Would definitely recommend.

This was our last night in Vancouver so we splurged. The food is exceptional and the views are magnificent. The plate sizes are quite generous and my wife didn't quite finish her main after the entree, so if you are a small eater we suggest going with 2 x entrees. The selection on offer is really good. If you want to reduce your diner cost, don't drink wine and some of the cheapest bottles are $60+, but as I said it as our last night
