So much fun! Eclectic and dressy, or casual. Nice people and Live Bands! Awesome venue!
The service, the bartenders, the band were excellent, and the atmosphere relaxed and friendly. We will definitively go back.
My experience with omakase in Vancouver has been limited. I’ve tried Matsuzushi in Port Moody (famous for their $30 omakase!), and Sushi Bar Maumi in the Downtown West End. I’ve heard many good things about the omakase experience at the Lobby Lounge RawBar inside the Fairmont Pacific Rim, so I decided to give it a try to see if it lives up to all the recommendations.
We enjoyed a leisurely and delightful lunch at the sushi bar. The server was so helpful. We sat at the bar where we could enjoy watching the preparation. Every morsel was delicately and tastefully prepared. I have Celiac Disease and was safely accommodated. There is live music throughout the day. This is a gem of a location just steps away from Canada Place and all major attractions of the city.
Must try their four-course brunch. It only $36. Much better than Miku. It is Japanese style food, but cook it as Western style. The wagyu beef taste good.
Overall the service and the food are both up to the Fairmont standards, and so is the price. The wine list is quite impressive, and there are many cocktails and beers to select from. The sushi from the raw bar is well made. However, I find this place popular not because of the food, but of the service, the live music, and the ambiance, which are what we look for in choosing a spot for a casual date but with class and quality.
The Lobby Lounge is a nice upscale place to have a drink.
Nice ambience, comfortable cozy seating, well made cocktails, decent food, and fantastic service.

Back in December, I took S out for her birthday at the Raw Bar at the Lobby Lounge located inside the Fairmont Pacific Rim. In the winter months, they had a five-course cocktail brunch for $42 per person with the cocktail pairing for an additional $28. For the first course, there are two selections, so of course we got one of each. I chose the Torched Wagyu Beef Salad which comes with red onion, sake-beet puree, scallion-ginger emulsion, nori chips and miso creme fraiche. The wagyu beef was tender and melted in my mouth! The only complaint was that the beef was served cold, but I guess since it is a salad, the rest of the ingredients are cold.
This month, Fairmont Pacific Rim celebrates Japan: Unlayered, an exhibition that celebrates contemporary Japanese architecture, design and culture. Japan Unlayered is designed to be a sensory experience that invites one to experience Japanese culture through touch, taste, sight, sound and smell. I got the opportunity to taste some wine and food that is from this theme at the RawBar.
My friend and I decided to do afternoon tea as a celebration. We decided to give the afternoon tea at the fairmont pacific rim a visit, as the Asian inspired items intrigued us. The tea menu came with a box of tea leaves which you could sniff, which makes the process of choosing tea a lot more simpler. My friend and I always choose one tea each and share both of them. At first we choose the mad hatter’s tea and the mountain berry tea however, they were out of the man hatter’s tea unfortunately. There were not as many choices as we would have liked so we ended up choosing the vanilla rooibos.
We went there simply to have drinks and dessert and listen to the piano music. If we had time we would have gone back again. The desserts were splendid, the music excellent and made a perfect ending to a great day. Did I mention the waitresses? Splendid conversationalist that paralleled the South's finest. Did I mention beautiful!
Afternoon Tea is one of my favourite things and I almost always always have to have it, every city I visit!! Toronto to Bangkok, I make sure I hunt down the best in the city. I swear, I literally sit there and google for hours about afternoon tea in the city. I already love tea as it is, I steep one every morning, so a few hours out of the afternoon for some tea and food is perfect.
I have been in for a drink and something small dishes.
I really love the lobster 🦞 caviar sushi 🍣roll. The food was delicious and fresh.
Our server was very attentive and friendly.
As drinks we have la Ranchera which is a very delicious margarita I really recommend it and strawberry 🍓 cocktail.
Very nice ambiance and clean restaurant.
I really recommend it.
A nice place to relax and have some cocktails. I went with a few girl friends after dinner. Right when you walk in, the smell is amazing. I ordered the Geisha cocktail. It is the sweetest drink on the menu. We also got the all dressed fries, they were really good.
A nice spot for a drink downtown. Located inside the lobby of the Fairmont Pacific Rim. It always smells so nice inside with nice ambience. The bar is quite spacious and I loved the live music too. Perfect for a date night or a night out with friends.
Went here for lunch while checked in at Fairmont Pacific Rim. It's a beautiful spot, a nice place to grab a bite to eat and sip on a refreshing cocktail. I recommend the Geisha cocktail. The sushi and sashimi were fresh and delicious. My favourite was the Salmon Motoyaki Roll. The service was friendly and attentive. I'm only giving it 4 stars because we noticed crusted on dirt on one of our plates. It was changed right away and we were given a fresh one. I just didn't expect something like that at a place like this. It was otherwise an enjoyable dining experience.
Modern, quiet, clean, and calming lounge.
The staffs were very accommodating and friendly, and answered any questions I had.
Sashimi starters were fresh, and delicious.
The timing was missed but I would’ve loved to see the musicians play.
Probably one of the best cocktails 🍹 🍸 I’ve ever had! Hands 🙌🏻 down worth it! 💸💸💰💵 Bring your cash 💵 and make it rain 💸💸It’s expensive here! Love it tho 👍🏻👍🏻
the service was great and the lobby vibe is so fun and alive! I went two separate times and had the same waiter. On my second night he took the time to recommend other places to enjoy in the city of Vancouver! Was really nice to chat to someone as I was travelling alone. The tomato soup was sooo delicious and the sandwich was just as good. Super cheesy and full of truffle but it was a little too indulgent for me and I left behind a few bites. I ordered the sable motoyaki roll another night and enjoyed it too
This lounge is always my first recc for post dinner drinks, dessert venue or just a night cab. After the hearty Korean dinner blocks away we walked over and was seated promptly as it was before 9 pm so the crowds haven’t descended. The chocolate ganache dessert and cookies we shared were so good though the ganache won. I forgot to snap our glasses of Decoy Cab Sav as we were engrossed in convo. Service is always top from the host desk to the table. I do prefer the sofa seating but they were all taken hence high top it was. A fun place to be with live music which I love. Their wine list is so exhaustive but the Decoy red was something.
