The Vancouver Fish Company

I went to this restaurant once a few years ago and had a good first impression. This time I took some visiting family friends here for an early dinner. We were a group of four and they gave us a more roomy table with our own booth as I was quite pregnant at that time. Not all restaurants would do that, and we appreciated it. We ordered four different main and everyone was happy with their food. I had fish and chip, and the portion was larger than expected. Tea was served in a nice tea pot. The restaurant also looked quite nice inside. Overall, quite good value for a pleasant dining experience.

A well-known seafood spot on Granville Island. They’re running an Autumn Prix Fixe menu plus a lobster special, so we decided to stop by for lunch. We arrived around 1:30pm; the restaurant was busy but we were seated right away. Our server was patient and walked us through the menu. The food was excellent. The seafood chowder was rich and flavourful, the wild-caught salmon was perfectly pan-fried and not overcooked, and the hard-shell lobster was the star of the meal. Overall, everything was delicious and we left very happy. Highly recommended.

Great place with good food, fantastic service, and lovely ambiance. Bryce did an excellent job of serving us; attentive but not overbearing. The food was good. The mussels were amazing. The shrimp and the fish were good but were overshadowed by the mussels. We were there during happy hour, so we enjoyed a few happy hour drinks. These were also quite good. Overall a very good experience and we all enjoyed ourselves.

My wife and I celebrated our 19th anniversary here, and the evening was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, everything felt thoughtfully curated for a perfect night. The food was divine—fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. We started with the mussels, which were incredibly fresh and bursting with the most delicious, savory broth. She chose the salmon, tender and perfectly cooked, while I had the steak with prawns—rich, juicy, and grilled to perfection. Every bite felt like a celebration of our years together. The service was warm and attentive, making us feel truly valued. We were seated quickly, and every interaction was filled with genuine kindness. It was the perfect setting to honor our love—elegant, heartfelt, and unforgettable.

We had lunch with my in-laws and, although we didn’t have a reservation and the terrace was fully booked, we were seated inside. We ordered fresh Pacific oysters, clam and seafood chowder, the lobster roll with fries, and the surf & turf (steak with lobster and vegetables). The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. However, the service left something to be desired. Our appetizers and main courses were brought out at the same time without being asked, and we ended up waiting quite a while overall. It felt like the staff might have been more focused on the terrace guests than those dining indoors. Despite the slow service, we still enjoyed our time and were very pleased with the quality of the food. A few service adjustments would make the experience perfect.
