Parker Rooftop

Parker Rooftop stands out as a true gem - because of the staff. Atop the Executive Hotel, this place boasts breathtaking views (& construction :) ) and delivers an unforgettable experience
Sure, was a short wait, hence reservations necessary, but when Blake stepped in, just happened to be the GM, that infectious enthusiasm, professionalism, and Aussie flair, set the tone for the evening. He steered expertly through the menu, highlighting specialties and providing knowledgeable recommendations. I'd revisit, just to chat with Blake.
Alpper, the bar manager, the expert in all things 'drink' and Mexico, ensured seamless service, discreetly checking in on us as we savored each allotted drink. You want the Golden Hour, Strawberry Aperol, and Midnight Margarita

Our culinary journey began with an array of flavors and textures. The oysters were impeccably fresh, each one a burst of briny ocean essence. The fish cones, a creative reinterpretation of a classic, were light and crispy, filled with delicate white fish complemented by a vibrant aioli.
The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the ribeye steak. Cooked to a perfect medium-rare, it featured a beautiful sear and tender melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Accompanied by four distinct sauces ranging from robust demi-glace to tangy chimichurri, each bite showcased the chef's skill.

No dining is complete without desserts. The caramel mousse cigars were decadent, with a rich chocolate shell ...way to a creamy caramel filling. The baked Alaska, pure finesse, light and airy meringue, chilled ice cream, topped with a caramelized exterior.
Parker transcends dining; it's an experience. While Blake and his team's attentive service make you feel valued, each dish is artistry, fresh, and tasty.

Simply seeking a memorable outing, Parker Rooftop is the MUST-VISIT... it's now my absolute favorite spot.

met up with my girlies on a saturday night for happy hour at 4:45 pm on the rooftop patio. it was a perfect 24 degrees, and the patio was super comfy. located at 1379 howe, right at the corner of howe and pacific street, the parker rooftop is on the 9th floor, formerly the executive hotel, vintage park.

the place is part of the table group family, boasting three separate patios, floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views of the city and ocean. it's got that upscale elegance but still feels laid-back enough for a fun night out.

the ambiance was spot-on for happy hour. major shout out to beau, our server, who was totally on his a-game and took amazing care of us.

we decided to order everything on the happy hour menu. the oysters were super fresh, though they varied in size, with some smaller than others. they came with horseradish, mignonette, and a wedge of lemon. the fish and chip cones were tasty but a bit tricky to eat, filled with rice, crispy tempura, pickled ginger, cucumber, and tartar, it fell apart when we picked it up. the mushroom arancini, balls of arborio rice stuffed with mushrooms, coated in breadcrumbs, and fried to perfection--definitely the highlight with their perfect flavour, texture, and creaminess. the truffle fries were generously portioned, golden and crisp with garlic aioli, though the truffle flavour was very faint. the parker sliders featured wagyu beef with garlic aioli, pickle, and lettuce and were just okay, nothing special.

we had an unforgettable evening filled with lively conversation, laughter, and pure fun. we were giddy with excitement, to learn of my girlfriend's engagement, and beau surprised us with celebratory glasses of champagne. to top it off, he even comped us three bite-sized chocolate cake, which we devoured before the forks could even make it to the table.

the vibe was fantastic, the company unbeatable, and the service top-notch.

happy hour runs from 3 to 6, and all day sunday, because why limit happy to just an hour?

Wonderful happy hour experience here. $18 a dozen oysters. Almost half off selection of drinks? And... discounted appetizers.

Place was indeed bougier than I expected. A bride to be was celebrating here. It was raining though and we didn't get seated outdoors on the patio as we hoped. Though we did get promptly seated by the window and was treated to a lovely view of the construction site across.

The dozen oysters are a must get, usually $40+. Fresh and sweet.
And the Parker sliders were absolutely cute bite sized burgers, each with medium rare patty sandwiched between light toasty brioche bread.

What a fun vibe to enjoy drinks and appies on a rooftop patio overlooking Vancouver downtown. We went for happy hour on Sunday when they also had live music during dinner. They had a great happy hour and dinner menu. Amy was the best server! She was accommodating and so thoughtful from turning on the heated lamps to ensuring we got second round of drinks before happy hour ended. She also kindly split our bills separately for food and drinks. I would love to come back and enjoy the warm hospitality again. Also a bonus, valet is complimentary if you dine here.

Wow! HH all day at Parker Rooftop (ahem they open at 3pm).
Went out on a foodie two parter for some good grub.
We really indulge ourselves to almost becoming an American Oystercatcher (that is a bird ppl) yesterday.
Overall between the Golden Hour (Vodka base citrus bevy) and oysters on the comfy coaches, the staff was engaging, we Vancouver was having a great Sunday weather, it was immensely enjoyable.
Another amiable note, I forgot my sunglasses and they called us right away.
.5 star off as the diet soda tasted super weak

The drinks were so fun and delish! The dessert we got was so great with the flambe. Our server was amazing, and we enjoyed chatting with her. The patio closes early so we opted for the inside. Not much of a rooftop view but regardless, it was a lovely place!

This has been on my list to visit for the past little while because it was popping off on my socials for the past year. They did such a big hype of this place that it was all over my socials for a whole month, it was calling for me so I had to do a happy hour at this place with my gays and my girlfriend. Surprisingly my gays didn't show up, they are not invited to HH again, so their fault, but me and my girlfriend had a fantastic time here.

I didn't know it was going to be such a bougie vibe and on top of that, I wasn't expecting the waiters to all look amazingly dapper too. It almost felt like I travelled in time to the 1980. I enjoyed the décor and the small tables but I know those tables don't have enough space to eat on for sure. It surely is a bar environment instead of eating, when their menu is stacked with delicious food!!

I love our server Charles, he was dapper and handsome. Charles was attentive and extremely friendly with us the whole time we were there. And he would answer a lot of questions that I had about the menu that night too.

Me and my girlfriend literally ATE when we were here. We ordered cocktails and more cocktails, while devouring tons of shucked oysters for the whole time. And because the gays weren't there, we literally ate their portions too AHAHAHA! We were literally dedicating a whole Sunday to just DEVOUR oysters. We were getting so many looks from the skinny people in the restaurant that whole day, but we had 1 amazing cheer leader server who was like, YES EAT FOOD! I kinda laughed when he walked by. He was cool. The oysters were anything special, but it was such a good deal we might as well, and they were shucked well. I did once got a large piece of shell in my oyster, but I am happy we are giving the kitchen practice on how to shuck those oysters. LOL

Anyways, I had a fantastic time, and maybe next time I will be back for more oysters or maybe sit at the patio and party it out with my gays.

The vibe was awesome!

Came for girls night.

Our server Leena made the night ~ she was on top of it and had great recommendations and a positive attitude.

Will definitely be back!!!

This review is solely to comment on the vibes and the fries (that rhymes!)

I came with friends who ordered cocktails and delicious-looking drinks, but since I don't really drink, I ordered the Truffle fries. The fries were cooked to perfection. The outside stayed crisp, while the inside was soft. Though I found them a bit too salty, the parmesan on top was a nice umami add. There was also a mayo or creamy sauce for dipping, which helped to balance out the salt. Yum! (My friends noted that the drinks were really good!)

The ambiance felt quite fancy since it was on a rooftop. The couches were lush, along with wide lounge chairs and low tables. Lighting was ambient (a bit dim) which set the mood for fancy times.
