Excellent service from start to finish. Our waiter - Marie, was excellent as well as the rest of the staff. Food was amazing. Too bad it's closing in a few weeks. So sad to see this iconic restaurant close.

We really enjoy our dinners at Salmon house and are truly disappointed that it is closing. We usually go for special occasions birthdays, anniversaries and just because and have always been pleased with the first class service and excellent food. We can’t wait until you reopen the new restaurant, we will definitely support it as well. Thanks for the excellent dining experience over the years. Nancy

It’s without a doubt my favourite dining experience I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying for many many years they hit it on every level. My only complaint, and this is a big one…. Is they are closing forever in 2 weeks. I’ve lost people in my life that hit me less than this. RIP Salmon House.

We have been enjoying the experience of the decor, restaurant, food, servers, and especially the service for over 50-years and are saddened to find the location is closing after all those years. Unfortunately, not all changes are for the better, but if this is progress, then it's too bad that developers, governments and the public don't demand more is not always "better".

Unfortunately, the Salmon House is closing in July. It has been a truly wonderful experience dining at this lovely restaurant and we will truly miss dining here on special occasions.

Beautiful view of Vancouver from our table. The food was good, but seemed to be a bit skimpy for the price. The restaurant properly will soon become.e condos, so dine there soon before it's replaced.
