The Mackenzie Room Vancouver Reviews
From “Sketchy” to Spectacular: Dining at The Mackenzie Room
We chose to have dinner at the one-of-a-kind Mackenzie Room after reading its glowing reviews on TripAdvisor—and what an experience! While the restaurant is located in a somewhat “edgy” part of town, a taxi or rideshare right to the door is the

The food and services exceeded expectation for two picky eaters. We did the pescatarian version of the tasting menu for two with chicken of the sea addition. Almost all the dishes delivered. Starting with chicken of the sea, definitely worth it, visu

We had a family dinner on a trip to vancouver and I have to say this place did not disappoint. Hannah our server was unbelievably thoughtful. Her service was amazing, always checked on us, and also gave us a list of recs for other restaurants to try

Service is top notchand wait staff knows exactly what the menu is and the pairing wines are. Ambience is cozy and dimly lit. Only disadvantage is the location but every dish was fantastic.
This place took me by surprise.
I was in Vancouver for the weekend and I was in search of an omakase experience. A Reddit post drove me to this place. Now... I had a late reservation and I was not aware of where this place was located, but it was not in the best part of town. Being

On my list for an insanely long time because this place
On my list for an insanely long time because this place requires reservations in advance, a trip up to Vancouver as I am not from here, and total of 4 people to try the whole menu. As a foodie, I cannot settle for less with the 2 person tasting menu
Good Food
This bar has an interesting but limited menu written on a blackboard. I ordered the Mi Amore, which is their version of Beef Tartare and the Steely Dan, which is based around Steelhead Trout. The Mi Amore had a lot of flavour, though the spices d

It was our anniversary dinner and this place is great! We made reservation ahead of time. Got here 15 mins early and we're seated right away. They coat checked our jackets so we could sit more comfortably. We took a look at the tasting menu fo

Came here with a large party which we were glad they could accomindate considering how small the dining room is. I was open to trying this place but honestly wasnt to optimistic as the menu was all over the place for me. We tried the full menu and th

One of the best meals we've ever had anywhere in the world, ever. Its not cheap, but that's because its very very good. Highly recommended. And they deskt with my wife's coeliac needs very well too...

We came with reservations for 6pm.
We were promptly seated in a very full restaurant. I ordered the pearl martini. It was a little too strong for me and had a bit too much onion flavour. We got the I want it all! For 89$ per person. The showstopper salad with legumes, cheese and sal
The food and services here are top notch.
Neighborhood is ok lol if you know what I mean .. but it is still worth it imo. The highlight is def the chicken of the sea.. I agree with ppl that need to return here just for this dish.

The Mackenzie Room was full of surprises, and all great ones. We tried things we loved that we initially didn't expect to like, we had supremely accommodating and friendly service, we ran into people we knew in a city we had never been to before, and

Honestly, I would not recommend it and definitely won't be back, we ordered a combination of items of which the server recommended, but I can't recall the majority of the dishes ordered possibly because of their ever changing menus or long waits in b
A very overpriced restaurant in an edgy area of Vancouver
The portions are very small and overpriced. We paid 108 dollars for the “Crabby American” with added lobster, which was presented to us as a half lobster. As you see from the pictures it’s just a small tale of a baby lobster. The lobster itself
A clearly overpriced place.
No options of wine for less than 90 dollars. The dish Crabby American costed us 108 dollars, because we added lobster at 50 dollars. the lobster was presented as half lobster, but in fact was a small tale of a baby lobster. of course, no word about a
Disappointed
This is the first time I have been disappointed here. The room was too noisy to hear my friend, the prices have increased, and it's not possible to get a cup of tea after dinner. Seriously?
Popped in for a glass or wine (or 2) with my neighbour.
It was so tempting to sample the menu but I had dinner planned chez friends. Logan is ... "excellent" and "superb" (into one word). I love exploring wineries and appreciated the knowledge that he shared. Excellent service, ambi

The mackenzie room is on the michelin selection list that it is recommended to try. For $89, you can get it all which is actually for the size of 5 people for each dish if you want to choose alacarte. Most of the selections are really good and some o
I can't say enough good things about the Mackenzie room.
Everything from the service, to the ambiance, to the food was 5 . The moment we walked in, we were greeted by a server and our coats were taken to their coat room. It's a smaller restaurant and has a more intimate feel -- perfect for a date night!
The Mackenzie Room has been on my list for a very long time.
I'm so glad to have finally been able to check it out. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was unreal. We sat at the bar where Lewis was extremely friendly and helpful. We will be back soon!
Great dinner

Chicken of the Sea.
I'll get back to this. Exposed brick, unfinished concrete juxtaposed against richly stained and varnished reclaimed wood. The space exudes old world charm with modern sensibility. The menu, balanced and seasonal, vibrant and fresh. Creative names
Incredible place
Genuinely the best food we had in Vancouver, we’ve been to a lot of Michelin star restaurants in the UK and this was up there with them in terms of originality and execution as well as exceptional service. We had the “just the two of us” tastin
Great restaurant in not so great neighborhood
Great variety of elegantly prepared dishes as part of the tasting menu. Bar tender also made some exquisite drinks. Service was friendly and efficient.
Great food, great service
we absolutely loved everything about the place - from cool decor to attentive service to funny entree names to the food! Too bad we were not hungry and did not choose 'I want it all' menu which includes everything on the menu for $85 - a pretty gre

Our waiter said that our party of 4 was the ideal size for the « I want it all » proposition. So we wanted it all: first courses of greens and sea urchins, vegetable dishes, fish, meats and finally deserts; all to be shared, often thinking « I wis
Home run
Superb food. Excellent service. From the time we arrived till the time we left felt like we were the only ones in the restaurant. Mckenzie room rocks:)
If it was just my personal experience, this was 4 stars.
We did the tasting menu and tried most things on the menu. The salad and chicken of the sea dishes were fantastic. The gods flan was amazing, though the portion was tiny. The lamb tartare and pigs in a blanket was pretty good. Generally, the meat and
Keeps on serving up the most inventive, delicious food in Vancouver.
We have been to The Mackenzie Room many times since it first opened a few years ago. Yesterday was a last minute decision. We sat at the bar, always a nice choice for two and ordered the menu for two - two starters, two mains, and one dessert. As us

Truly one of the best meals I've had in a long time.
I was afraid that The Mackenzie Room's recent recognition by the Michelin Guide would cause it to become overrated, but I was relieved to find that was not the case. I genuinely enjoyed every aspect of my dining experience here. The best way to do th

Connect with users posting reservations for The Mackenzie Room Vancouver

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Mackenzie Room Vancouver at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Mackenzie Room Vancouver page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at The Mackenzie Room Vancouver to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Mackenzie Room Vancouver!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
