Here, in a 1890's décor rich with mahogany, marble and brass, subdued lighting that sets a casual, relaxed tone, and soaring ceilings that offer an expansive open feeling, they can sit back, relax with friends, co-workers and fans and treat themselves to some delicious dining.
Joe Fortes recently won a couple of awards this year. The 2002 DiRoNA (Distinguished Restaurants of North America) awards ceremony was held in Seattle, WA. This group recognizes the most exclusive fine dining establishments in US, Canada and Mexico. Joe Fortes had to pass a rigorous 75-point anonymous and independent inspection conducted some time over the past year. The award is given due to the exceptional food and wine, quality of service, genuine hospitality and sophisticated atmosphere of the restaurant.
Joe Fortes also received The Most Memorable Meal award from Where Magazine on 30 September 2002 for 2002 Best Seafood Restaurant in Vancouver. This is on top of the 2001 Best Overall Restaurant and 2001 Best Service awards from Where Magazine. Joe's was nominated for Best Dessert this year, but narrowly missed out by another distinguished talent. And Joe Fortes has also been awarded ten years running by the Wine Spectator.
