Restaurants near Pantages Theatre

Very busy but our service was great and food was as good as always

Our server Brooke was busy with a large group but still had plenty of time for my wife and I. Great food and service, an all around terrific spot for dinner before a show when coming in from out of town.

The Jazz Bistro is the perfect "pre-show" dining spot for Mirvish Productions at the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre. Tuesday nights are particularly special with James Clayton on the piano and accepting requests. The serving staff are very attentive and ensure that you are on your way in good time to catch your theatre time. No doubt Jazz Bistro is a wonderful evening experience to take in a full Jazz evening with family and friends.

The food was both inventive and delicious. My partner enjoyed the Nori-Cured Salmon while I savoured the Roasted Carrots—a perfect balance of flavours. For mains, my partner opted for the Chickpea Burger; while they felt the patty tasted slightly processed, I thoroughly enjoyed my Arctic Char, cooked to a tender and flavorful medium rare. We shared a creamy and indulgent Vanilla Custard for dessert—a sweet ending to a lovely meal. The ambiance was clean, uncluttered, and welcoming, with a vibrant yet relaxed energy. It was refreshing to dine among people fully immersed in enjoying a great meal rather than being distracted by social media. What stood out most was the exceptional hospitality. Every staff member we encountered made us feel genuinely valued as guests, and it was a special treat to meet the chef-owner, whose dedication to guest comfort and enjoyment is evident in every detail of the experience. Richmond Station is a gem I’m thrilled to have discovered, and I can’t wait to return for another memorable meal. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic food and service, I was expecting based on other reviews. The flavours were complex and balanced. What was unexpected (and a delight!) was that Leña Restaurant also served excellent coffee and non-alcoholic cocktails. I get the impression that every detail of the menu had been carefully thought out.
