About C-Prime Modern Italian Steak & Wine
For a Vancouver plan where wine recognition matters and the group wants smart casual expectations, C-Prime Modern Italian Steak & Wine is a sensible name to consider. The verified details are simple: it is in Vancouver, it keeps daily hours from 7 AM to 12 AM, the dress code is smart casual, it has Star Wine List recognition for 2026. Those points do not describe every part of the experience, but they do give planners a useful framework: this is a restaurant to weigh when timing, dress, wine recognition are central to the decision. Choose it when those facts match the plan; look elsewhere if you need a more specific format, menu detail, or service style that is not confirmed here.
A Vancouver room for a wine-aware occasion
C-Prime Modern Italian Steak & Wine is easiest to evaluate as a planning choice rather than through unverified claims about dishes, room size, or service format. The confirmed hours are broad, running 7 AM to 12 AM every day, which gives diners flexibility when building a Vancouver itinerary. That range can be helpful when a meal has to fit around travel, meetings, late arrivals, or a group schedule that is still taking shape. The smart casual dress code also gives guests a clear baseline before arriving.
The clearest verified signal is Star Wine List recognition in 2026. That makes wine a fair part of the decision, though specific bottle selections, pairing formats, cellar details should be checked directly with the restaurant before booking. The recognition is useful because it gives wine-minded guests something concrete to factor in, without needing to assume details that are not confirmed here.

Who should book it, who should look elsewhere
Book C-Prime Modern Italian Steak & Wine when the group wants a Vancouver restaurant with smart casual expectations, long daily hours, a verified wine-recognition signal. It is a practical option when the priority is consensus and a plan with clearly confirmed basics rather than a narrowly defined dining format. In that context, the appeal is not that every detail is already known, but that the confirmed basics are useful enough to support planning. If the meal needs to feel more culinary-specific, compare it against Le Crocodile or Sushi Jin.
For visitors building a Vancouver weekend, C-Prime Modern Italian Steak & Wine works as one considered restaurant option within a wider itinerary. Its long daily hours make it easier to place alongside other plans, while the smart casual dress code helps set expectations for the group before anyone arrives. Pair the decision with broader planning from Our full Vancouver hotels guide, Our full Vancouver experiences guide, Our full Vancouver wineries guide. If the group wants a simpler or more casual comparison, consider Café One, Fritz European Fry House, or The Fish Shack.
The read: book it when the occasion calls for a Vancouver restaurant with smart casual dress, long daily hours, a wine-recognition credential. It is best approached as a wine-aware candidate rather than as a place to choose on assumptions about unverified menu specifics or service details. Confirm current menus, reservations, any group-specific needs directly with the restaurant before committing.
The take
The Take
The Vibe
C‑Prime Modern Italian Steak & Wine reads as a contemporary iteration of the classic Italian‑American steakhouse. Perched on the fifth floor of 1015 Burrard, the room intentionally lifts guests above West End street‑level noise, cultivating a reserved, ceremonial atmosphere. The kitchen centers prime cuts but frames them with Italian reference points—pastas, antipasti and composed sides—while a serious wine list underscores the room’s purpose. The result is a refined, tradition‑minded dining experience that balances mid‑century steakhouse formality with a modern, Italian‑inflected menu.
Best For
This is primarily an evening destination: the program’s focus on prime steaks and a substantial wine list makes dinner the natural service to book. The restrained room and ceremonial framing suit date nights, special occasions and business dinners where a composed table and focused conversation are priorities. Given the downtown location and formal register, reservations are recommended for important evenings when the goal is a full, multi‑course experience centered on beef and wine.
Ordering Tips
Build your meal around the steakhouse premise: choose a prime cut or the signature Osso e Manzo as the centerpiece, and add a pasta course such as the Short Rib Ravioli to provide contrast and richness. Finish with the house C|Prime Tiramisu for a traditional close. The wine list is a core part of the concept—ask for pairing suggestions or select wines by body and region to balance the weight of the beef. Portions and pacing favor a multi‑course, table‑focused dinner.

Restaurant context
How it compares in Vancouver
Choose C-Prime Modern Italian Steak & Wine over Café One when the night needs a more formal dinner frame and a wine-led steakhouse feel. Café One reads better for a lower-pressure hotel-style meal, while C-Prime is the stronger fit for celebrations, client dinners, groups that want the drinks list to carry weight.
Le Crocodile is the better comparison for diners who want a defined French restaurant experience rather than steakhouse flexibility. If the table is split between steak, Italian comfort, wine, C-Prime is easier to agree on; if the table wants classic French cooking as the point of the booking, Le Crocodile is the clearer call.
Sushi Jin is the sharper splurge for Japanese dining and a more format-driven night, while C-Prime is better for mixed groups and special occasions that need broader appeal. The Fish Shack and Fritz European Fry House sit in a more casual lane, so use them when value and ease matter more than ambiance or wine depth.
