Staff is excellent - accomodating and helpful. Food is very good, although in my experience, a little overpriced for the product. In a large group, nobody complained, but nobody raved either.

We were staying in Vancouver for the night and decided to stop in for some fish and chips.. They don't serve up your run of the mill greasy overfried tiny strips of cheap fish. What came out on our plate was pretty much a nicely battered filet of halibut. We started the meal off with sushi which was some of... More

The Challenge was: the best sushi in the world? Well, we agree! Of all the places we have traveled this was one of the best meals we have ever enjoyed! Starting with the Mission Hills 5 vineyard Pinot Noir, through every course, and on into dessert of Strawberry Mousse Cake. The Iced tea was lightly sweetened and refreshing; the beignet... More

Coast Restaurant is well deserving of it's Trip Advisor high rating. Great service, wonderful menu and ambience. If you like seafood this is the place to go. Definitely in the upper price levels but worth paying the extra. We were staying overnight in Vancouver, leaving the next day for an Alaska cruise, so we wanted somewhere special for dinner with...

The food is excellent, along with a beautiful outdoor dining experience! The chopped salad with a wonderful dressing, the sushi with delicious and very fresh seafood, and the Strawberry Mouse dessert, to die for!

great seafood, very modern take--some asian influence. service was good and fish outstanding. be aware, this restaurant has a "club" like atmosphere--so it is loud, which is fine if you know that going in. food unbeatable
