We had the most incredible experience last night! Not only was the food OUTSTANDING and the experience great but the service was some of the best I have ever had. Thank you Blue Water Cafe for making last night so special. And ask for Harvest! Best waitress ever
This is one of our favorite seafood restaurants in Vancouver for both business and pleasure. If you're with a group the seafood tower is a great way to start. The aburi sable fish is ridiculously tasty and is a must try if you haven't had it before. If you're a group of 2 you can sit at the bar and watch all the magic happen. Reservations are a must as it does get very busy.
Wow . Had a staff party here and balled out on some 4 course meal and drinks menu for our large group. Excellent server. The food was hit and miss on some items. Their Arctic char was a bit basic. It wasn't as flavourful as we wanted maybe a dash of butter would do the trick next time. I had a short rib, it was very generously wide cut and presented beautifully vertically. The jus was great on the rib. I did find it needed a pinch more salt
. Alcohol selection was basically a candy land . Desserts we're top quality. Overall I would come here again!
One of the best restaurants in town. Great atmosphere and fantastic staff will make your experience memorable. Prices are high, but very justified. Cocktails are fantastic. Could not recommend this place more.
I don't normally give 5 star reviews, but upon my first time here having a shared dinner with my girlfriend we had an excellent experience with fantastic customer service, didn't bother us too much and service was quick and professional, polite.
Food itself was delicious and very well sized, atmosphere was delightful with enough lighting and some light music in the background.
I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for fresh,seafood that is tasty and delicious.
If you want to have a taste of great west coast cuisine, this is your place. They have a variety of seafood dishes that are cooked to perfection as well as sushi. I always go for the sushi and sashimi. Had the seafood tower for a special occasion once & it had very interesting things like jelly fish - so nice to try when you are sharing with a group. Service is very attentive. Pricey
Best scallops. Incredible sushi. Fantastic atmosphere. And not so loud that you can't hear your friends speaking. Highly recommended. The other positive reviews are not hyped up. Well worth the visit.
Although we have not gone to Blue Water for over a year (we have gone over 20 times in the past), the food here is very good.
I consider Frank Pabst to be one of the two or three best chefs in Vancouver. At Lumiere, he was incredible. When he went to Blue Water, I mentioned that he was wasting his immense talents. He has proven to be able to organize a huge staff.
Wow - one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had! Seriously. Their reputation as the best seafood is so well-deserved. We live in San Francisco and get great fresh ingredients (or so I thought). This meal was at a whole different level than anything I could have conceived of previously. You almost didn’t need teeth, the fish was so tender. And, the service - holy cow. We sat at the bar and our server offered to guide us through the menu, which was the best choice ever. We had the perfect sampling of shareable plates and more substantial dishes, all paired with exactly the right wines. We felt so pampered, nourished, relaxed, and sated. It honestly could not have been any better - flawless food, service, and a great atmosphere. At the end of the night, we asked a gentleman (not knowing he was the manager) for tips on calling a cab. Not only did he take care of it for us, but when we walked outside, he was holding the door open for us. I felt like royalty - completely spoiled rotten. Yes, it is pricey, but you cannot possibly assign a dollar value to the kind of experience these folks create. It is impeccable, and not to be missed if you have the chance to go. Please do. You won’t be sorry.
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!
Great seafood,fresh bread and delicious spread. Smart and neat waiters. Music and atmosphere is very good too.
The price is worth the experience, the service is amazing, and the food from the oysters to the fresh halibut and lobster. An amazing mixologist set the mood from the start and we could not have asked for a better experience on our last night in Vancouver. A must visit if you are open minded to amazing food.
Definition of you get what you pay for! Some of the most amazing food, service and wine I've had. The sushi is top notch and the rib is AMAZING. Definitely a great place for a special occasion.
The seafood tower was awesome! Overpriced. definitely.. but was fresh.. as it should be! Definitely a date place! Id go back if someone else was paying lol
Went here for my wedding dinner with both of our families. 17 people in one of their back group rooms.
To say the food was world-class would be an understatement. Everything was PERFECTLY prepared and delivered to the table simultaneously. The Seafood Towers were a highlight.
Additionally, the sommelier allowed me to saber open a bottle of champagne at my request!
This was an unforgettable dining experience. l look forward to going back again for our one-year anniversary.
