Calabash Bistro - Vancouver

Ownership of the restaurant changed last year and the changes are substantial. Food and drinks are still good but nowhere near as good as under the previous owners. Service was abysmal. Our table got food all at different times. Entrees came before appetizers. Appetizers came before drinks. Unfortunately we won’t be returning.

Our server was patient and fun, and we were a big, demanding group ; Love the music and vibe of the dance floor it’s energetic and inclusive, and seems to attract good folk e.g., I saw a guy bring a very drunk woman a glass of water and it warmed my heart.

This was my second time visiting Calabash while in Vancouver and it was very disappointing. Cold food delivered to table. They expected us to pay full price for dessert items, but they had no ice cream due to not being able to keep it cool. Definitely not real Jamaican cuisine. Truly disappointing and a waste of money. Oh and the view were the homeless eating off the ground outside.

We had a great dinner and stayed for dancing afterward. The staff were really friendly and the dance floor had a great vibe. We’ll definitely one back and do it again

Had a delicious meal, but service was a bit slow. Not the fault of the server only one server for the restaurant.
