Nice place especially if you have a special occasion to celebrate. They are kids friendly too! They have a kids menu, and offered colors and a coloring page. They are very attentive to detail, I have asked them to write Happy Birthday on a plate upon booking and our server, Shaun, did not disappoint! Shaun also recommended King River ribeye (which was very flavorful) and Blue Dot striploin (which was also good but not as good as the ribeye). The steak was perfectly cooked and the sides were tasty. We would recommend 2 sides per person (as we ordered 3 per person and felt was too much). The dining room gets crowded and very loud, we prefered sitting in the patio (with less people around thus quieter). Food was tasty, service was on point, atmosphere was nice. Would definitely recommend Elisa.

🥩 A Masterclass in Steak and Culinary Excellence Elisa in Vancouver provides what many consider to be a world-class dining experience. During my visit, our server mentioned that this was the best steak in the country, and after tasting it, I found it hard to disagree. It was truly one of the best steaks I have had ever, prepared with a level of precision and quality that sets it apart from almost any other establishment. The wood-fired grill adds a distinct, incredible flavor profile that makes every cut special, ensuring that the natural flavors of the meat are the star of the show. ✨ Sophisticated Ambiance and Top-Tier Service The experience at Elisa goes far beyond just what is on the plate. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is upscale and "fancy," providing the perfect setting for a celebratory dinner, a business meeting, or a high-end night out. It feels modern yet timelessly elegant, which justifies the pricier menu that you would expect from a premier steakhouse. The service is exceptional; our server was knowledgeable, confident, and attentive, truly enhancing the overall meal by providing insightful recommendations and ensuring every detail was perfect. Signature Wood-Fired Grill: Features a unique cooking method that imparts a signature smoky flavor to the premium meats. Extensive Wine Program: Offers an incredible and curated wine list that pairs perfectly with their diverse selection of steak cuts. Professional Staff: The service is highly professional, with staff who are clearly passionate about the menu and well-versed in the various origins of their beef. Yaletown Heart: Boasts a vibrant yet sophisticated atmosphere right in the heart of Vancouver’s most trendy dining district. 👍 Final Verdict: Worth the Splurge for Connoisseurs If you are a steak enthusiast, Elisa is a must-visit destination. While it is certainly an investment, the combination of unbeatable food quality and a high-end environment makes it worth every cent. It is rare to find a place that lives up to such monumental praise, but this restaurant delivers on its promise of being one of the best in the business. Five stars for an unforgettable meal that sets a new bar for what a steakhouse can be!

Exceptional. So many restaurants with BIG reputations don't even get close to fulfilling the big expectations... Elisa is one that not only fulfilled but actually surpassed our expectations. From the moment we entered to our last goodbye a couple of hours+ later they made the experience memorable. One of the reasons was definitely our server Eduardo. Knowledgeable, attentive, experienced and fun. We had received a tip to enhance the experience and it really worked. Instead of everyone ordering their own meal, we ordered three different steaks and some vegetable sides to share and compare. We're not usually "share food" people, but in this case it turned out to be a winning strategy. In addition we each had our own starters. The carpaccio and the burrata were the winners. The Negronis to start off the evening were nicely balanced in flavour. The extensive wine list provided plenty of good options. What a great place to celebrate our 38th Anniversary.

Elisa was exceptional from start to finish. The restaurant has an amazing vibe—stylish, lively, and clearly popular. My only small note, and purely personal preference, is that the indoor seating feels a bit crowded with tables. That said, we were seated on the heated patio at a perfect corner table, which was simply fantastic and made the evening even more enjoyable. Our waiter was outstanding—attentive, knowledgeable, and professional without being intrusive. We started with the seafood platter, which was delicious, and substituted the tuna tartare with bison. That substitution turned out to be an excellent choice; it was absolutely amazing. For our main course, we ordered two different steaks, one of them dry-aged. The dry-aged steak was our favorite—it literally melted in your mouth, packed with incredible flavor. Both steaks, however, were cooked to perfection. Sides included Brussels sprouts and mushrooms. The Brussels sprouts were great, and while the mushrooms were good, my only minor critique is that they could have used a bit more richness—perhaps made in garlic & butter—but again, that’s just personal preference. The absolute highlight of the night was dessert. The Baked Alaska was out of this world and truly unforgettable. Overall, Elisa is a restaurant that lives up to its reputation. It’s always busy, so early reservations are a must. The ambience is gorgeous, the service is exceptional, and the food is the best quality you can get. A truly outstanding dining experience.

This was our first time to Elisa Steakhouse after our experiences at Blue Water Cafe and Araxi. The overall experience was great. The server went over the menu and recommended some wine pairings. He added that their sommelier can also make recommendations but we trusted him. We ordered the Beef Wellington as our main dish as it’s a dish that is challenging to make at home. Our starters were a side salad and a seafood platter and then dessert for last. The food quality and service were top notch. I rated the overall experience a 4 star as we noticed the bathrooms lacked cleanliness. An improvement would be more frequent cleaning as it is a 5 star restaurant. We will still be back and appreciate you for serving us.
