We had a wonderful meal at Five Sails. They were serving a special tasting menu that consisted of dishes that Chef Alex Kim cooked to recently win the Canadian Culinary Championship. Those dishes were creative and delicious and were well worth the price of the tasting menu. The dessert, though not part of the award winning dishes, was also very memorable, being very tasty without being too sweet, and, at the same time, a fantastic delight to the eye. Service was impeccable -- very attentive but not intrusive. The various servers showed up at just the right moment to do what they needed to do. The place was close to full yet not too noisy so conversation was easy. Most enjoyable!

Our server Michael D and the manager Kei Korrai were amazing. They would give me generous pours for my wine pairing with the new tasting menu. Michael even had the chef Juan Ruiz-Torres come out to do some explanations. Wonderful experience. 10/10. Our table felt like VIPs.

Highlight from the menu was the oyster with edible shell. These chefs know what they’re doing.

Thank you. I will definitely be back when I am in town.

A first class dining experience. Not easy to find as the signs are few. Just go to Pan Pacific Hotel and head for the R - restaurant floor. Service impeccable. Food, delicious, well presented, complex flavours. My scallops and then the duck, perfectly cooked. The lobster main, also. Order the grand Marnier soufflé in advance as it takes some time to make. Overall a great meal for our last night in Vancouver

Five Sales offers an excellent dining experience with great service and delicious food. I was particularly impressed by the attentive service—a waiter not only replaced the tablecloth at a nearby table but also took the time to iron out the folding lines. That level of detail is truly exceptional!

The day I visited was slightly cloudy, but I imagine the ambiance would be even better on a sunny day. The $38 weekday set lunch menu (soup or salad + main course) provided excellent value for money. The bread was outstanding, though I found the beef strudel a touch too salty.

My husband and I are devout regulars of this gem of a fine dining restaurant. They really go out of their way to make you feel special. Everyone from the receptionist Rica to our servers for the night Michael and Anita to the Restaurant Manager Jason (who we so adore, he’s the best Restaurant Manager any fine dining should have in Vancouver)! They are always consistent with their service! More than five stars! And the food — out of this world! It’s delicious, it’s a culinary adventure and top notch. They deserve a three star Michelin star! Five Sails is one of our go to fine dining! It never fails to amaze us! Thank you so much for such an exemplary service! The staff take pride in their service and are all truly commendable! Kudos for giving their best even when it’s Christmas Day and they didn’t mind working over the holidays — that’s what we call dedication, professionalism and having a genuine heart for service. We will always come back for more. They really know how to spoil you.
