Blue Water Cafe Review

I love the atmosphere and the service. Food was average. Their kusshi oyesters were incredibly fresh. Good place to go on dates.

The scallops starter was amazing! The lingcod fish was great, but if you don't like eggplant get something else.

Amazing food, best seafood in Vancouver. I tried the chill seafood platter and it tasted unbelievable. My main was the sable fish and it was tender and delicious.

If you love seafood, I highly recommend you try this place, you won t be disappointed. The food might be expensive but you get what you pay for.

Amazing. Service and food was spot on ! Best seafood I've ever had of my life.

This is one of my favourite restaurants. Excellent food and amazing experience.

The chef was able to create a special off the menu item to tailor to specific diet needs!

We went to this restaurant on a recommendation from a friend. The place is very classy and the staff is incredibly professional. The food was spectacular!! I had the Flat iron Steak and it was amazingly done. It's an expensive restaurant but definitely worth it. If you are going to Yaletown check it out.

Food is great and the venue was fantastic for our large party.

Good services, good staff, delicious and tasty stuff.

I will definitely come back to this place, exquisite.

My girlfriend and I had a great dinner service here at the restaurant. Initially we felt like our main server had forgotten us a few times, but another serving staff by the name of Katrina helped us several times and filled in the gaps of service. The serving portions of the food at this restaurant are very substantial and we were able to take portions of our entrees home. Once again, we would like to thank the staff and especially Katrina for making our night go by smoothly.

Worst service ever I had... If you go with your family, you will get worst service. (They only cares with party people). Our waiter changed 5 times... we didnt know what is going on.... The food is not that freash, it is covered by spices. If you are from Korea or Japan, you will easily notices.

Good service, slow as everything done at the moment, good wines, but lack of privacy when charging

Sat at the sushi bar and was handled by the master, Masa-San. Fish and sushi quality was exquisite, service was fantastic, the chef is authentic and a skilled master. Will definitely be back.

My favourite restaurant in Vancouver - very nice, but not too smart or pretentious. Excellent seafood (maybe the appetizers are a bit traditional/old fashioned), sushi and desserts. Great service. Extensive wine list. Highly recommended.

Beautiful location in Yaletown. Inside and outside seating. Amazing service and outstanding food. Our waiter was very helpful recommending food. Everything was 5 star.

The seafood here is to die for! Nice presentation and service!

In my opinion the best restaurant in Vancouver and I've been in over 20 different restaurants of different level in the last couple years. Came here over 5 times and was completely blown away! One of the reasons my wife and I got married here. They provide incredible experience by paying attention to ALL the things that are important in the dining experience: food, service, atmosphere and take them to the next level of quality. There are so many little things that they do and do them very well that other places don't. For me that's what sets them apart. Ben, Stephan and ALL the staff are always great.
Totally worth it!

Excellent variary of seafood and freat service in a top and elegant environment

while the seafood is amazing, the service has gone downhill over the past few years.

Mouth watering food and outstanding service! An experience to remember.

Nice atmosphere.
Nice meal.
Friendly staff.
The wine I recommended was really delicious.

Superb service. Nice looking and friendly staff. Fresh ingredient. Delicious food. It gets a bit noisy in the restaurant and service gets a bit slow but understandable. Great dating place. It s on the expensive side but a must come every time we are in town. Take customer feedback and I definitely recommend the place.

Perfect place to come to treat yourself. Everything here tastes delicious, they may be a tad pricier than your average cafe, but for good reason. Customer service here was amazing.

Good service, were able to seat us when we arrived 45 minutes early. Seafood tower was awesome, but entree was over cooked.

Pricey, good seafood but honestly no sure what kind of cuisine they are serving, fusion Canadian Japanese, ended up confusing even though it was one of the best food I ever had in Vancouver but yet nothing closed to world graded !

The food was quite good and the view of the city at night was the highlight of the meal.

A well appointed restaurant with a robust emphasis on delivering a top shelf dining experience. We were fortunate enough to experience their private room service and were spoiled by their attentive servers and delectable plates. The angus beef was perfectly rare, and the knife was exactly what was needed for it. Dessert, for myself a pistachio creme brulee, could not have been more presentable nor more carefully sweet. All in all, I give it 5 stars for execution and style.

Solid food. Portions are on the small side, but that is to be expected at this type of restaurant. Very fresh seafood

All time favourite seafood/sushi restaurant! The staff is always welcoming, the wine selection is top notch, and the ambiance tops it off perfectly.

Top class all the way. Always a delightful experience.!!!

We have visited this place several times and the food there never disappointed us. Great food and dessert , staffs are very professional and friendly . I would strongly recommend this place. They are usually very busy and reservations in advance may save your time for waiting .

Top notch restaurant.

I travel all over the world and as a "foodie" seek out places like blue water.

I get to Vancouver twice a year and always make a point to visit this restaurant.

Superb seafood, raw fish / oysters, and cocktails

Cool vibe. Service a little slow tonight but worth the wait. The char prep - delicious!

The signature sablefish was a bit on the salty side, but it was probably due to the miso used to marinate the fish. The dungeon crab from the seafood tower could have been better. I would just order the seafood tower without the crab on my next visit. The spot prawns were excellent though.

The tuna ahi is fantastic, service and ambience was great and the dessert menu was decent.

This is my favourite restaurant in Vancouver. The service is fantastic, and as a vegetarian going into a seafood restaurant I didn't know what to expect. I was very impressed when they made me the veggie risotto, and even made a broth just for me with no meat!

Always outstanding food and service. A great vibe! My favorite restaurant in Vancouver.

Ask any local what is the best restaurant in Vancouver and their answer is The Blue Water Cafe. Service is exceptional, food incredible and atmosphere spot on. Best Oysters I have ever tasted, ask for Sunseeker Oysters, local BC type.

High end restaurant with exceptional food, expansive wine list and excellent service.

The atmosphere is good and the service is also satisfying !!

great food great place, place to go in vancouver always bussy make sure you reserve

Can t miss this place for their delicious food and great service

Food was exquisite, ambience was on point, service was nothing but amazing! You haven't seen a wine list until you have dined here. Expensive yes but what an experience in fine dining.

The best aged stake I had. Great Service. Great wine..... I will be back.

I have been to this restaurant once. The food was good, the ambience was great but the price you pay for the portion you get did not sound reasonable. Over all, I will not go back.

Atmosphere is great, service is great, food was done well but nothing too special about this place. You can find this level of food for way less.

Chicken was a little undercooked. A bit bloody in places.

Very Nice Restaurant! Fish and meat were delicious. Very classy!

It was a great experience, they served 11 of us for an anniversary party, excellent food, great recommendations, amazing service. Our waiter was engaging, friendly and helpful in making decisions. The food was excellent from beginning to end. The atmosphere was very lively, for a Thursday, and the clientele ran the gamut from "just finished a workout" to "business meeting"... Lots of couples on dates too... Definitely a place you can go to make an impression.

Loved it here!! Highly recommend!!
The ambiance is spectacular. The staff is beyond helpful. The food is absolutely delicious. We got the white fish, and it was by far the best fish I've ever eaten!!

Excellent fish restaurant. We tasted the sashimi, nigiri and roll, all of them were equally amazing. The oysters are apparently very good there. Their menu is varied, there is something for all tastes and all appetites.
Our server was very friendly, rather relaxed unlike what you would expect from restaurants like this (and it's a good thing not to take yourself too seriously while being perfectly professional).

Reservation essential (if over the phone you are told that there is no more room, try to see on TripAdvisor if you can book a table directly - for one reason or another it worked for us as we m 'had said the day before that everything was complete ...).
The restaurant is expensive but well worth a visit.

I have never had a bad meal here, service is spectacular, what a great fine dining experience.

The fish here is incredibly fresh, the sashimi is absolutely divine. Our waitress was friendly and provided enjoyable and efficient service. The cocktails are good as well.

Really good, food was really tasty. Everyone was really nice and friendly. I ordered and after 10 minutes my food was already on table. I really appreciate it. I will definitely comeback. I recommend to everybody.

really like this place and the food was also so delicious would like to visit the place again

Impressive service complimented by delicious food. Would go again.

Amazing place, the servers are really nice and the food is awesome.

It was one of the finest meals I've ever had. The sable fish is to die for.
