    Waited 30 minutes past our reservation for our table. For a seafood restaurant the fish selection was pretty limited. Service was okay but slow. It was a busy night.

    Four of us at dinner. Two of us had the grilled Ribeye, which was absolutely delicious! Holy cow! My husband had the Parmesan crusted Dover Sole, which he loved and the other person in our party ordered the Seafood Fettuccini which was incredible as well. Our Server was David and I highly recommend asking for him, he was exceptional and so nice! He made our evening. Love this place!

    From appetizers to desserts, everything was fantastic. Servings were well presented and plentiful. Service was timed just right so we didn’t have to wait long and we never felt rushed. The calamari was amazing as was the black cod. Best coconut cream pie I’ve ever had.

    Salad had very light dressing, also, talked about no croutons but still came with some kind of croutons anyway, TVs we’re a bit distracting, service was good and waiter was super busy. Pretty good dinner overall.

    Really great view and area. The food was fantastic. But the service was quite poor. They didn’t quite get our main meal until 90 mins later. And every waiter was very poor in responding to customers who just needed attention. Though the food tasted great. You’re not to expected to be full in the main meal alone. The portions are very small. We ended up having to order something somewhere else even after our restaurant experience.

    We ate outside, so the noise level was quiet except when a airplane was going over. We expect airplanes because of the location of the airport. The service was great and the food great as well. Our server had excellent knowledge of the menu items and knew what to tell us about items.

    Food was pretty good, but wine service was awful. $90 bottle of wine was just opened and randomly poured - uneven pours and no initial taste and acceptance. Very noisy environment - made for difficult conversation. Took 30 minutes to be seated despite reservation. Will probably not go again.

    Love dining here! Especially on a sunny day and sitting outdoors overlooking the river. A bit disappointed in my black cod this time, it was overcooked and dry. Unusual for the place. Everything else was great. Highly recommend the Burrata and Beet salad

    Very good food and excellent service. Like most places these days some dishes seem overpriced. The dining area is comfortable and the view is nice. The area has become very popular and traffic is not great. It wasn’t easy to find a parking place either.

    Wonderful farm to table seafood restaurant with a great night out vibe on the waterfront. It was busy over labor day weekend and parking was a bit of an experience on a busy evening. They do take online reservations which I'd recommend to make sure you're set getting a table inside or outside. Enjoy!

    Great experience. Service was slow at first but they were super busy. After being greeted things went smoothly and we were well taken care of. Food was very tasty though a little on the pricy side. However they do source locally when they can, so I think it's worth it. We will be back to try more seasonal items.

    Had dinner there with the family. Service was outstanding. We were seated outside and it was too warm so we asked to be seated inside. No problem. All servers were very friendly. Onion soup is wonderful. Not too many onions and lots of broth and gooey cheese. I loved the crispy onions on top, which gives the soup some needed texture. Turkey chopped salad was also very good. Parking is at a paid lot across the street.

    My whole dish was not even warm when served on the table. I ordered the grilled halibut @ $40, it came with green beans and potatoes. The halibut and pesto sauce were just okay, the green beans overcooked and no seasonings, half of the potatoes were burnt (overcooked). I also ordered calamari. They came in chucks, very rubbery, crust not crispy but soggy. There were only a few waiters and waitresses working in such a big restaurant, not enough manpower. Yet the waiter who took care of me was nice and helpful. It was my first time and the last time to go to Wildfin American Grill - Vancouver.
