    I've been going here periodically for decades and it's consistently good. Dependable. Great place to take out-of-towners as there is a great view of the city. One of our go-to favourites.

    Salmon House is a quintessential Vancouver restaurant. The view is extraordinary, the service was impeccable and the food was outstanding - all very West Coast. It was our first visit to the Salmon House and it will definitely not be our last!

    The food was excellent and the server’s knowledge was wonderful. The venue is lovely The service was disjointed in that many people served and busked our table. So we were left waiting at times for service. In addition, items such as utensils for dessert were missed and soiled napkins that needed replacing never arrived for dessert service. However overall the staff were generous in their friendly demeanour. It was an organizational issue. Food is not to be missed

    We have been going to the Salmon House for my Partners Birthday the last 4 years. Everytime, Superb service, food, setting, clean, quiet just the right celebration we are looking for on this special occasion ! We live in White Rock and although the drive from our home to the Salmon House took almost 2 hours (heavy traffic) it is always well worth the drive. We will be back again soon ! Thank You !!!

    Excellent service and exquisite sea food menu to choose from. Our friend has a celiac disease and multiple food allergies , therefore not too many restaurants are willing to accommodate her requests, but the Salmon house chef was able to create a delicious meal for her and make our dinner experience even more special and enjoyable, we were very impressed.

    Went for Valentine’s Day, everything was wonderful until we had to wait over thirty minutes for the mains, and I had to prompt the server, which was not our own because he did not check up on us for the duration we were waiting for our mains, to ask where is our food, in which the manager had to come out and explain that it was taking longer due to amount of orders they had, which I know was an excuse due to other tables who seated and ordered after us, got their food way ahead of us. I would have preferred the honest truth, saying they messed up and forgot to put the order in or the cooks forgot to make it. They did comp our two drinks as a compensation which was appreciated but compensating the mains would have been more appropriate since that was the real issue in hand. I would have tipped accordingly but the 18% tip was added to our bill already because it was Valentines day. Don’t get me wrong, the food was tasty, great seafood, but it was not an enjoyable experience.

    The main courses were excellent although one of our orders got mixed into a hybrid between the Arctic Char special of the day and the Lemon Parsley Peston Crusted Sockeye Salmon. To be fair our server informed us of the mistake and said we could exchange it but we took it on as we wanted to eat together and the taste was exceptional. The other main was the Alder Grilled Salmon Trio which was also extremely good. The mussels and clams in a Thai coconut broth were okay as an appetizer but the broth was a little on the strong side and hid the flavours of the mussels The homemade bread tasted quite good but left us feeling heavy for quite some time after we left. Great ambience with spectacular views over English Bay although the wait staff seemed a little over-efficient at times and we felt a little rushed to finish up. Overall it was a good experience.

    Amazing dinner with my fiance. We had the salmon butter/bread then the seafood tower which we feel is excellent value for a hungry couple who love seafood. Their drink prices are also very reasonable for their high quality. This isn't an inexpensive restaurant but thr value is incredible.

    We have lived on the North Shore and eaten at the Salmon House almost as long as it has been open, meaning a very long time. We usually reserve it for special occasions. We had an excellent meal with superb service-knowedgeable answers to questions we had and a lovely, unrushed feeling about our meal. It lived up to all our expectations and then some!

    service was slow, the seafood bowl was okay and over priced, wine was over priced, I would consider bringing a bottle and paying the corkage fee for a better value for the higher end wines we enjoy. We did like that it was quieter than most restaurants and views were nice.

    We arrived and were seated with a beautiful table by the window, with a spectacular view of Stanley Park, the bridge and the ocean. All I could think of was why has it been so long since I dined here. Our server was wonderful and attentive. The specials were spectacular. I highly recommend the salmon trio. Absolutely delicious.! Getting a table reservation was not a problem. And every aspect of our dining experience exceeded our expectations.

    We thoroughly enjoyed everything the Salmon House had to offer. Most especially the food, but also the views outside, the beautiful interior and the excellent service. We did find the entrees to be on the expensive side, so would likely reserve our visits to special occasions only.
