Everything was great! Attended for a party in the northwest room, servers were super accommodating for the various needs of the guests. The food was phenomenal. I highly recommend the tenderloin!

We dined here tonight as part of Bite of Burnaby. We both ordered the prix fixe menu and one 3 course wine pairing.If you have never been the Hart House is a lovely, quaint old heritage building (so there is the occasional ant visiting, and the A/C is open window(s) - keep that in mind on a hot non-breezy day).The service was attentive, friendly and excellent (other than a delay of several minutes before the arrival of the dessert wine caught up with the dessert).The meal began with a surprise: a delicious amuse bouche with duck and hummus in a pastry shell.We both had the Caesar salad (after all its the Ides of March LOL). Fresh, mild with caramelized bacon zing.The mains were the Short Rib and Steelhead. I couldn't have been happier with the Short Rib. It makes me want to come back and have it again tomorrow.The Steelhead was also delicious. However, the pickled turnip was inconsistent and clashed terribly with the wine, which otherwise paired beautifully with the Steelhead. So ...use it as a palate cleanser and alternate it and the wine with the main in-between. Worked out well.I had the pair-me-with-pear cocktail and it was a tickle for the tastebuds throughout the meal.We both had the maple creme brulee and it made Canada proud. Fantastic layers of hard vs silk, warm vs cold, sweet vs ...sweeter. Divine.I definitely recommend going during Bite of Burnaby! I would happily go again.Parking: Reasonable number of spots a short walk from the restaurant.

A Valentine's 5 course meal at Hart House would typically be a plushy, opulent extravaganza, but the distance between tables was cosy enough to hint that this was more a casual chic than a suited-up affair. I've never been here, so it was especially galling to have lived in the Lower Mainland for a quarter of a century without gracing the stoop of this venerable house. Then again, I'm widowed, for more than that length of time, so I comforted myself with a rose and a fresh steak tartare with a companion who loves all things shared and critiqued. Hart House is the sort of venue where romantic foodies flock. Not a big fan of tongue (the plated veal, and not the French style of bussing), I had the Vitello Tonnato which had more tuna tataki than beef in the dish. It was a welcome balance of sea and grassland meat. The Confit Duck Agnolotti was surprisingly tart for its lurking olives, but the best must've been the Seared Lois Lake Steelhead, swimming in sea urchin buerre blanc and parsnip puree (both of which I didn't care for), but in the end, quite liked. After we've been pavlova-ed and mango-curded, we stepped out with surprised that we had five courses, but with the right proportions to make us feel sufficiently satiated without being over-stuffed. That's probably worth the price of admitting "it was all worth it." Thank you, J, for a delightful evening.

I love this restaurant! Patio dining, Twinkle lights, heat lamps, great service and wonderful food. This is my happy place. The menu is always fresh with new drinks, desserts and entrees. The staff are definitely top notch.

I recently celebrated my birthday at a restaurant, and I must say the server was outstanding - knowledgeable, polite, and attentive. The rest of the staff were equally friendly. The food was excellent; we opted for the Dine-Out menu, and the recommended drinks paired perfectly. I'll definitely be returning for another visit. I also enjoyed a complimentary pastry, which was absolutely delightful.

Beautiful old house to dine in but could use a bit of updating and would be nice if there were more plants or dividers to make it feel like your table is more private. I had the dine-out menu which was yummy. The salad was a bit dry and the salmon wasn’t very flavourful but the duck was very good and the desserts, especially the toffee pudding, were excellent. Service was good.

I absolutely love that this place is inside an old heritage home. The back patio area is the best place to eat by far. The food was very fancy and delicious. The only thing is that it took about 45 mins to come and that's just way too long for how much you're paying. Maybe it was just the time that I went at but still it should be faster.

A recommendation we received from a friend of ours. We went with the new years special, honestly it was our first time with this kind of menu but everything was really delicious, specially the main entrée, as our family gathering we couldn't ask for a better place.

The food was good. The ambiance, however, was my favorite. It's like a cozy home that you're going to have dinner at. Great views of the lake nearby and there's seating near the fireplace. Excellent service - courteous and kind staff. I forgot to get any pictures of the food.Also, they have a space for private events with a bar upstairs.
