"Our 2nd time at tivoli's, the food was really good, only disappointment is that the desert tasted like it was micowaved.
It's a cozy friendly restaurant and we enjoy going there. Our next visit to tivoli's will be for their Sunday brunch.

"Went for 2 dinners since relatives were staying at the hotel. Prime Rib dinner on Sat night was horrid. The prime rib had grill marks on them and were way overdone. Obviously they were re-heating already cooked roast beef. The other dinner was just mediocre. Food was on par with most chain restaurants.Had the same server on both occasions & she was really lovely & tried her best to accommodate us (we had a toddler) and the situation."

"The Easter brunch had a good selection of hot and cold foods and the display was pleasing. Food was appropriately hot and cold. The one comment I could make is that the cold veggie platter had cauliflower which had a beige color to the tops which I would normally cut off at home. I was suprised to see the cauliflower displayed as such.
The decorations were simple but elegant and eyecatching. I appreciated the staff enthusiasm and the extra length they went to hide easter eggs for visitors."

"The most amazingly delicious food can be found in this otherwise unremarkable hotel restaurant. The dining room decor and atmosphere is convention centre-hotel dining room in all it's bland, generic glory. And then food arrives at your table. It is quite simply some of the best tasting food in the Greater Vancouver area. If this chef was to relocate to another restaurant we would be dining there regularly but sadly, as wonderful as the food is at Tivoli's, the atmosphere and presentation of the venue is a big turn off."

"The service is extremely good. The price is reasonable especially for special occasion like Valentine's Day. My husband claims it is even better than the dine out dinner that v paid around $50 each (quality &money wise). V definitely wl go there again n recommend it to friends as well."

"Really disappointed with the service, only one server was there, and he was not even there all time.
Food was kinda below standard, pretty sure they only re-heated the main course. Dessert was so-so.
Will never come back.

"There is no view per say for this restaurant. The reason why I gave food good because I saw that the table beside me had the same dish, but with two pieces of salmon instead of one in my table. Otherwise the food was prepared very good."

"Didn't have the wine advertised on their list. For a not so busy evening the waiter was not fully up on the menu items. If a dish has cilantro as a matter of course.this should be mentioned in the menu. One could say that it was not bad for a "hotel" meal but hardly a "dine out" spot."

"For the $28 dollar menu I wasn't expecting spectacular, but I got it anyways. I had the shrimp, the salmon and the chocolate lava cake. The food was divine and the staff was attentive without being intrusive. And the food... I can't say enough. We went to Chops for dinner the next night and the food didn't even come close. I give Tivoli's 10 stars!! Yes, it was that good. I’m definitely going back for more!"
