We have eaten at Five Sails many times over the years. We have never been disappointed but our dinner this past week was exceptional!!!! The meal was exquisitely prepared and presented. The foie gras was silky and delicious. The halibut was moist and the way it was prepared and presented was awesome. My husband couldn’t stop raving about the duck. The attention to detail was amazing. Absolutely the best meal we’ve ever had.

My wife and I hosted a dinner for four special friends at Five Sails on May 4th. What an exquisite experience! We had a wonderful time and enjoyed not only the view and each others' company but getting to know the Five Sails Team. Restaurant Manager Kei Koarai is warm, friendly, and attentive. Alex Kim, who is innovative and creative, came by and visited as well. Five Sails must have a particularly adept talent spotter because our server, William, was the best I had encountered in years. He encouraged us to try a number of dishes that he guaranteed were spectacular. And they were! Top picks were the Poached oysters, the scallops and the Haida Gwai Sablefish. We did not order any sides and I would encourage you to share some. We did not meet pastry chef Daria, however like Alex, her creations are incredibly delicious and one of a kind. William encouraged us to order the "Apple". Three of us did and this was a unique and delicious creation. The Grand Mariner Souffle was perfect. And the house-made sorbets and ice creams were so good! It will be hard to choose from these three deserts in future visits. All in all, an exceptional restaurant with top-notch service and culinary delights. Oh, and there is a view as well, however we lost sight of that as we so immersed in the ambience and cuisine of the Five Sails. A Vancouver treasure.

We keep returning to the restaurant since we have such a great experience each time. We both had the sable fish which was cooked perfectly and was so tasty. The sommelier recommended the perfect wine to go with the mains. Service was good as well. The views from the restaurant are stunning. Everything was perfect from start to finish.

My experience at Five Sails was absolutely exceptional. The service was flawless, with every detail thoughtfully attended to. The sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable, offering expert pairings that perfectly complemented our meal. We enjoyed the Lobster and Duck courses, both of which were cooked to perfection. A truly outstanding dining experience—I can’t recommend it highly enough!

We've been coming to the Five Sails for many years, even prior to its current Glowbal ownership, and it continues to be our absolutely favorite fine-dining place to celebrate special occasions. The food was exquisite---our starters (lobster bisque, scallops, yellowtail crudo), mains (duck, sablefish), and desserts (honey cake, bananas Foster, chocolate souffle) were beautifully prepared and presented and, most importantly, tasted absolutely delicious! The service and hospitality (thank you Martina and Jason!) were top notch as well. All that, plus the stunning waterfront views, made for a perfect dining experience.

A great location with wonderful views of the harbour and mountains. The service was excellent. We were impressed with the lobster bisque with a crab and scallop base which was very favourable and a delightful presentation. The main course of beef tenderloin with short rib Ragu lacked flavour and in my opinion not a good quality. The desserts were impressive in presentation and delish…... Overall a rather enjoyable experience. Staff very. 💕 accomodating and friendly.
