"Atmosphere is nice. Cozy and private. All the food we got was tasty. The smoke salmon focaccia was ok, halibut was little dry and salty but overall it was a good experience. Waitress could have been little more elegant but we had a great time."

"Hart House Restaurant is one of Burnaby’s most timeless and picturesque wedding venues. The historic Tudor-style architecture paired with the tranquil setting by Deer Lake makes it an unforgettable location for both indoor and outdoor celebrations. The water view at the back provides a romantic backdrop that works beautifully for ceremonies, photos, and receptions in every season.
As Vancouver wedding officiants, we’ve had the joy of officiating weddings here and always find the atmosphere warm, elegant, and versatile. Whether couples choose the intimate dining rooms indoors or the open-air spaces overlooking the lake, Hart House Restaurant offers a balance of history, nature, and charm that’s hard to match.

"I absolutely love this place when it is sunny and you're enjoying their patio. That's said There's so many delicious foods to pick from their menu. In the summer, it could be very busy because of the weddings because of the weddings they hold. So be sure to reserve your spot. If you're coming in for drinks, I suggest going in the happy hour. So you can enjoy really nice price and an atmosphere 👍"
