    We were anticipating great and fresh seafood with a wonderful view and excellent service here. We did get that kind of so I'm going with a 3 star rating. The food was fresh but the flavors were lacking. I was surprised by the frankly rude hostess, but our wait staff was great. The oysters were very good but way more expensive then we even pay in Bellevue, which was also surprising since they said they just go outside to get them. View is great. Will I go back? Nah.

    I guess inflation is to blame? I recently made a dinner reservation for my wife's birthday (August 2023) as we have been to Fanny Bay in the past for her previous birthday and always had a good experience when we dined here pre-covid. Let's just say this time around, the dining experience definitely did not hold up to the the amount of money we spent on dinner for two. They haven't done any upgrades or improvements to their interior space, so nothing new/exciting to see there. The washrooms were smelly and dirty, the floor and toilet seat were splattered with unknown fluid (use your imagination), and paper towels were out. Customer service was subpar as we were never offered water refill (we ordered booze, but also drank our water), which means our server barely came to our table besides to drop our food down, or did not pay enough attention to refill our cups. Near the end of our meal, when we asked for the bill, the server never asked if we wanted dessert. To be honest, my wife was looking forward to the little complementary birthday dessert that she had when we visited Fanny Bay for her previous birthday. Needless to say, she never got it. I wanted to ask for it (after the fact that the the bill was paid), but my wife was felt embarrassed to ask for it as she felt that it should have been a sensible thing to do, especially when both the front of the house/host and the server knew it was her birthday. The complementary dessert is literally a little coconut jello-like dessert and happy birthday written on the plate with some type of sauce. It may not seem like a big deal to the server/restaurant, but it can definitely make or damper someone's special day. We still joke about it now because we recently went to a small Vietnamese restaurant, and the owner/server brought us some complementary snacks by surprise. Obviously, it was something to compare about, especially when it was a a $200 meal at Fanny Bay vs a $40 meal at the Vietnamese restaurant.

    We love this little gem in Vancouver. We delighted in an array of delectable dishes, including sea orchid, mussels, fish chick, and fish tacos. Every bite was a burst of flavor and a testament to the kitchen's expertise. The service was fantastic as always. Highly recommended.

    Very disappointed. Service was friendly but not at all attentive. We waited awhile, and our server came to get our food order without first starting with our drink order. Food wasn’t at all as exceptional as I hoped for. Very noisy restaurant—-maybe they should turn the very loud music down.

    We recently visited Vancouver and wanted some local seafood in a casual environment. Fanny Bay was a great choice. The oysters were excellent and our server helped us select the perfect choices for our preferred taste. Fish and chips were fabulous. My husband ordered the seafood boil for his meal and it was a huge amount of food which made it perfect for all three of us to try a little bit of everything, mussels, clams, scallops, crab, potatoes, sausage, corn and green beans in a spicy sauce. It is a small and very noisy place, and conversation was a little difficult due to the noise volume. Our seats at a high top for four were not very comfortable and pretty tight to the group next to us, but no opportunity to linger with the 1 hour and 45 minute time limit on your table. Easy walk from Canada Placeto get away from the tourist crowds.

    Great overall. Interestingly, I was the only female adult in our group (my husband, our 3 kids and 2 other adult friends). We all ordered a round of drinks, then the men were repeatedly asked if they would like another drink and brought quickly. It was quite comical and surprising - I finally asked to see the drink menu again of which they brought it and then never came back to take my order. Not until one of the men asked if I could order another drink… other than this the night was good and food great.
