I have been going to Carderos for years and I love the spot. It's in a scenic location overlooking the docks so in my opinion the patio is the best spot to be if you can get a spot.

The staff has always been awesome and no complaints there.

I can't say the food is to die for - and given the prices, I have given them a 4. I may be little biased as seafood isn't my favourite and the majority of the menu is based on seafood. It would be nice to have a few more options for those of us who don't love it. Last night we ordered about 4 appetizers plus our dinners and desert the ribs were a little over cooked. The shrimp was not available which was a disappointment but we compromised and and it was all good otherwise.

But it's really not what I come to the restaurant for...

What I can say is TO DIE FOR is the Creme Brulee. It's the best I've had in Vancouver and it's a must anytime I go there. In fact I'll go have dinner there just to have it. My daughter had the brownie and as brownie connoisseurs we weren't in love with the hint of coffee in it. Maybe we missed that on the menu or we got the wrong desert - not sure. But it was good if that is what you like...

The sangria is also wonderful.

Expect a hefty bill when you're done your meal but overall I think it's worth it for the atmosphere and desert :)
