My boyfriend and I stayed at the Paradox Inn this past weekend and ended up spending a fair amount of time at the Karma Lounge. The staff were so consistently nice and helpful, drinks and food were tasty, vibes were solid. We ordered oysters, Caesar salad, beef tataki, roast chicken, and spaghetti al bronzo. We were so so happy with everything! My only critique was that the pasta dish is described to come with burrata, however when I received the dish I did not see a glorious ball of burrata on top, as I would have expected. Instead the waitress told me it was mixed into the pasta. I feel that is an odd choice- burrata has a very mild, milky taste and does not impart significant flavor to a dish when mixed in. I think most people would expect the burrata to be presented whole & on the top of the dish so that it could be highlighted better. I described it to my boyfriend as “whipped cream on top of a milkshake”- it kind of loses its purpose when it’s mixed in. Anyways, it was still very tasty and that is just my little bit of criticism. Overall, wonderful and would recommend!!

We had a great breakfast, definitely worth coming back and having dinner here

Erica was absolutely amazing! She was so knowledgeable, friendly and attentive, we almost didn’t come back to Karma Lounge because our last experience was so lack luster but Erica redeemed everything. We are staying at the Paradox hotel, we went Tuesday evening after checking in and ordered the black card and premium martini, received our drinks with no garnish, ice where there shouldn’t have been and our server seemed uninterested which made us leave after one drink. We returned Thursday reluctantly to grab a quick snack before our massage upstairs and Erica blew us away with her incredible service. Everything we ordered was perfect and at the end of our meal we shared with her our previous experience and she went out of her way to rectify it even though it was not her fault. She goes above and beyond and is such an asset to any establishment, we will be back if Erica is our server.

Great moody vibes for a hotel bar, be it getting drinks to wind down late at night, or getting something to nice eat before leaving for a flight. Friendly service as well. The only complaint is that the music is SO LOUD at night, though it's a perfect volume during the day. Also, their truffle fries weren't the best I've ever had, as the flavour was a little lacking. But overall is the perfect bar/lounge for travellers otherwise.

It’s a hip place to see and be seen. I was looking for a bar to see the Oilers WCF game and then walked in here. So happened there was a convention of some sort going on and many eye candy around the bartender Jordan was great and also training well with the apprentice

Sooo happy they have an outdoor patio seating area now. Love it! Always a good time here. Food favs were the lamb, Korean fried chicken, shrimp. Ragu pasta and sliders weren’t that good. Dessert was good but not much chai flavour. It’s in the white chocolate sheets laying on top. But why is it called chai tart then. It’s mostly a passionfruit tart.

We live just around the corner, but it’s downtown Vancouver so the competition is steep. This place wins every single time. The service is undeniably 5 star! they take such good care of us and in this big city they know exactly who we are when we walk through the door! The food, the food is fresh and clean and delicious. Love it here!

I came to Karma lounge to celebrate my dear friend’s birthday. It was my first time here and I loved the atmosphere as soon as I walked in. Great seating, decor, food (especially caviar - they had the good stuff ), drinks, music and most importantly, staff. Our server was Erica. Let me just say, I go out a lot, and have travelled a decent amount as well. Erica is probably one of the top 3 servers I’ve ever had. Shes extremely friendly, kind, polite, classy, attentive... the list could go on. She provided options, she gave insight and I noticed that she was always observing the tables around, so that as soon as I’d make eye contact, she would come over. All the staff here were wonderful, but Erica really stood out (even as the main server). I would definitely come here again. Thanks Karma Lounge for making my friend’s birthday so great!!!
