Better than the average chain

I prefer independent restaurants but Cactus Club is definitely a cut above the average chain. Tasty menu.

attack of the fembots

Its amazing that the Cactus Club can find that many pretty girls who want to waitress. They're kinda of like fembots, however, you expect if they get really p@!%!d theyll shoot you with there machine gun braissre's and then their heads will explode. The food is exceptional for a high volume chain restaurant.

Great food

I'm in here every couple months or so, and last time we had dinner there it was great. The waitress was excellent and deserved the tip we left!

Nice meal but very sick afterwards
April 12, 2014

I met a friend for dinner on a Friday night recently. The service was great, lovely young server who was very friendly. I dont know if it was the wine, I do react to some wines, or something in the food but I just made it back to my hotel and was sicker than a dog. The salad I had... more

Good Food & Great Service
March 01, 2014

Cactus Club is a pretty safe bet if you want some good food and nice ambiance.
We were here with family including an 18 month old. The staff was very accommodating.
The food in general was good, however the Ahi Tuna I had for an appy was not seared on a really hot skillet. It tasted OK though.
We got... more

Amazing views only topped by the food
June 04, 2013

Located in the heart of touristy Vancouver, this restaurant offers amazing views all around. The views are only topped by the cuisine in this place, a great combination that is sure to please all the senses.

My Go To Restaurant
April 07, 2013

You can never go wrong in having a meal at Cactus Club Cafe. The service is very friendly and the food excellent and affordable. A homey atmosphere. Love the Tuna Tataki, the Rice Bowl and the yam fries.

Consistently good experience
March 14, 2013

This is one of my favourite restaurants to meet for lunch. Location is very central, right on transit lines, and most importantly the quality of food and service is fantastic and consistent. We are always greeted with a smile and a "can do" attitude. Servers are pleasant, attentive, helpful; menu is appealing and varied and food is delicious. We also... more

Still wondering
February 24, 2013

Well, we met our daughter and her partner here for a lovely lunch. We each ordered drinks. I'm not a beer drinker so chose a wine new to me and asked for a taste first. The friendly and efficient waiter brought it over immediately. To my surprise I didn't like it so I ordered a 9-ounce glass of another wine.... more

Ate here for a 'date night' before Bard on the Beach and had an excellent meal.
They were featuring a combo menu with appy, main & dessert, and I LOVE it when restaurants do this! Food arrived in reasonable time, and was yummy.

Trendy and Yummy
September 15, 2012

We liked the decor, the upbeat, urban mood of the place. Service is attentive, efficient. The staff are sharply outfitted and extremely well groomed and very beautiful. The menu choices are great. I had the BBQ duck sandwich - to die for!

June 27, 2012

I'm so so on this place. It continues to be a hit or miss in terms of experience. Whether it's food, service, or general atmosphere, I can never quite put my finger on it, but none of these places ever WOW me.
However, the servers are really pretty (this sometimes comes with a bit of attitude), and the food is... more

all i can say here is BUTTER SAUCE??? what? I am a lover of yams, squashes, and all of the pumpkin type family....so yam fries for an appie, butter nut squash ravioli soaked in a buttery sauce for dinner, and a cactus lime margarita is pretty darn close to what I would want for my last meal...my only complaint is... more

Above average for a chain
May 19, 2012

But not on par with smaller, independent restaurants I would give four stars to. Three and half is more like it. Still, considering that they're almost as common as Starbucks, what the Cactus Club does it does very well. The food will never amaze but it's reliably well prepared from seemingly* fresh ingredients, and the choices feel modern and yet... more

Noisy but fun
January 17, 2012

Took my pre-school daughter here for an early dinner while travelling, and we both enjoyed. A bit of a noisy-bar-style atmosphere, but the food and drink are good, and the Lettuce Rolls are a fun and interactive dinner for kids, while the parents take their time.

Delicious food that made me sick
November 04, 2011

I ordered a squash filled ravioli with shrimp and sage. Beautiful and tasty. For $25 a plate, you think they could manage a bread basked or a slice of bread to accompany it and let you mop up the last of the sauce.
Needless to say, by the time I got home I felt awful and had serious issues for... more

The food is overpriced. Served by somewhat good looking women who are not the sharpest knives, we were served the wrong entrees TWICE. Good value for your money this place is not. Large portion of your bill is for the bimbos who will serve you small overpriced portions. THe desserts are extremely high in calories and unsaturated fats.

Awesome lil cafe famous for their breakfast, also serves lunch.

This is a trendy joint with lots of celebrity reviews and pics.

I had an omelete that was very greasy and filling. The staff prides
itself on being a lil edgy and often rude. Check it out when in Vancouver.

I do not know what I was thinking when I enetered here. First, the music was way too loud. The food overpriced for the portions served. The staff were friendly and attentive. But it is not my type of restaurant.

The proverbial yuppy hang out. The staff and women are beautiful, and the drinks are good and reasonably priced. Always busy with loud music, I like this place when I'm in a group of boring upscale people who want to get drunk. the staff seems pretty friendly though.
