Osyer
Bob H.

Ignore the 2.9 rating. We came up from the states for my wife's birthday and the Capilano bridge walk and an overnight at the Pinnacle in N Van. This place was great for a sunset dinner. Server was fast, welcoming and friendly. Couple of drinks, huge delicious ceasar salad, oysters, crab kale dip (amazing) and duck confi and crispy pork belly. Food came out fast and on point. Great flavors. Zero complaints! All the one and two stars people just have been half asleep. Highly recommend!

Halibut burger
Damien M.

Upon entering greeted right away Abba said party of 2. We're immediately given a table inside. The atmosphere is quaint and modern wherever you sit there is a nice view over the water looking over to vancouver. We were asked what e would like to drink and if given water as well. After our beverage were delivered asked if we were ready to order which we were. Wifey ordered the Cajun burger but sub out the bun for lettuce wrap option and subbed in yam fries.. I ordered a cup of seafood chowder and the halibut burger. The halibut burger was tasty, the fish was cooked nicely with a battered piece of halibut. Not to much batter and had a nice crunch. Plenty of thin sliced pickles inside with decent amount of tartar sauce slathered inside the bun. Fries chunky and crispy, super fluffy but in a grainy way if that makes sense? I soapy love potatoes of any type and even eat the over fried mcd ones but I just didn't enjoy the grainy fluffed inside of these fries for some reason. Again this is my taste but I'm sure for many others this is the perfect fry. The seafood chowder was delicious. Perfect creamy flavor, decent amount of seafood for the cup portion as well as potato+ 3 croutons . I cannot speak to the Cajun chicken as I did not try it. I was too full to even take a bite. The service was ok, not spectacular. The server we had was very good at first but seemed to disappear after the first time asking if everything was fine. I think another visit before we were to pay the bill just to check in would have been appreciated. Over all decent lunch and would go back.

Caesar salad with grilled chicken
Benjamin R.

This location has a truly stunning view, so I was disappointed when I experienced slow service, and mediocre food. I was there with a group of 8 and we were promptly sat in a wonderful location of the patio, looking out towards the Vancouver skyline and one the Seaspan Yachts. The first drink order took longer than we would have liked, but that seemed to be the trend for the remainder of the meal. There were a few items on the menu that stood out. Our friends loved the Cajun Chicken burger, the calamari was fresh and not overly-oily or breaded and the mussels were reasonably well seasoned. The dishes that didn't quite do it were the fish and chips, which were overly fried and oily and the chicken caesar salad, which was served with what we think is a store-bought dressing. As a note on service, one of the dishes was entirely forgotten and we had to remind the server about 15 minutes after everyone had been served and it evidently wasn't coming. In terms of happy hour choices, there was a good selection of discounted drinks, including the sangria, and the on-tap beers were cold and crisp. I would recommend this place for summer patio drinks with a view, and would give this place another try on food, perhaps at a less busy time to appreciate better service and hopefully food made with a little more care.

Came here for a working lunch. This salad was pretty good and the shrimp were perfectly charred. Attentive service but perhaps that was because we were the only group there at lunch!

Truffle fries & calamari
Hope D.

Came here for drinks & little bites. We didn't have a reservation, but we were seated right away. They sat us by the window, beautiful view. Super nice and definitely a dressier restaurant. Service was okay, the waitresses kept talking about how bored they were. I got the peach bellini and my friend got the aperol spritz. The drinks were super sweet, nothing special though. We got truffle fries and that's a must. The fries were soft and crunchy and the aioli was so addicting. The calamari on the other hand was not tasty. It was way too chewy and the tartar sauce was off putting. Overall, was a good experience for my first night in Canada.

Prawn Cocktail
Vivien I.

I had previously gone to Pier 7 for a friend's birthday years ago, so I jumped at the opportunity to have partake in the three course dinner with the fiancé a few weeks back (thank you again, GroupOn). By luck the weather was nice and the patio was heated, so we decided to enjoy the sunset and planned a nice evening stroll afterwards. For appetizers, I chose the Prawn Cocktail and he had the Seafood Chowder. It was a nice light start; jumbo prawns on ice and I confess the cocktail sauce tasted very similar to ketchup to me. I tried a little bit of the Seafood Chowder and it was light; I didn't taste any specific seafood, but it was nice a hot. My taste buds were comparing it to Clam Chowder, so I'm not sure if it was an accurate comparison. Entrees I chose the Local Steelhead Salmon and he had the Sirloin. A nice standard grilled salmon, with some vegetables. A little bit on the saltier side, but it wasn't very dry (a hard thing for grilled salmon sometimes). With only two choices on the menu, I went with the Cheesecake and he went with the Chocolate Truffle. I love me a good NY Style Cheesecake and it was creamy, cheesy, dense, and compiled with the compliments (berries and whipped cream) on the side, which I liked. Meant I could focus more on the Cheesecake versus digging my way through the berries. I found the Chocolate Truffle cake was a tad too chocolaty and rich for my liking, so it was a good thing he is a bigger lover of chocolate cake than I. What perplexed me the most that evening, was the wait. The restaurant did not seem overly busy when we first arrived, it was a weekday evening, and yet there were inexplicably long wait times between all three courses. It seemed like most tables were suffering from this fate of having long stretches were the previous course' dishes were cleared, and patrons were just sitting there with their water/drink glasses. There wasn't much of an explanation/apology from the waitstaff either (i.e. "sorry we are short-staffed in the kitchen this evening") which left me wondering if these wait times were normal, or abnormal. It certainly meant we weren't able to go for a nice evening stroll as we had originally hoped for.

My friend took me here to celebrate my birthday and we were given a table by the window. Gorgeous view of the harbor and downtown vancouver. It happened that Dine Out was on so I had food from that menu while my friend just had the salmon burger. He said that was really good. I tried the fries which was crispy and hot. I chose the mussels for my starter. The mussels were tiny which was disappointing but they went very well with the white wine cream sauce. Maybe it was not the season for big plump juicy mussels. I had the seared sablefish for my entree. That was done very nicely. I liked the asparagus and gnocchi too. The two layer chocolate cake was so-so which made a fairly sad end to the meal. Service was good here but I noticed the server did not tell us of the lunch special or menu. I overheard her telling other diners much later after we placed our order. If we knew of that earlier, we might have choose something else. So if you go during weekday lunch time, check with the server for the lunch menu. The place is very nice and the food is quintessential West Coast fare. Get the seafood. My friend recommends the eggs Benedict from the weekend brunch menu too. When the weather is good, sit on the patio for the view. This is a good place for a date.

a glass of water
Azadeh S.

We did not have a good experience last night and ruined our anniversary. The food was so tasty and good. But the service was the worst one. The first water glass has lipstick stain and the second glass had stain too! We booked a day in advance but when we arrived the girl at the front desk had no idea! we got the text " your table is ready !" but which table!!!! They did not prepare the table for us and looks like did not care at all. The supervisor/manager was unprofessional! finally, he gave us a table upstairs...they are so unorganized, had 2 empty tables upstairs, but keep insist on not giving them to the guest who is reserved ?!!! (and it wasn't that busy). Not coming back.

My boyfriend and I were in a seafood mood and ordered the following: Seafood Tower: A showstopper. Beautifully presented, overflowing with fresh oysters, chilled prawns, lobster rolls, caviche, and tuna tartar. Everything tasted fresh and ocean-sweet but the lobster rolls buns were getting wet and soggy from the plate to ice condensation - an oversight on presentation logistics. Wagyu Carpaccio: Melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The wagyu was sliced paper thin and had that rich, buttery texture you hope for. The shaved truffle garnishe added just enough flavour without overshadowing the beef. Served with a few pieces of sourdough bread, it was one of my favourites. Roasted Chicken: I know--ordering chicken at a seafood-forward spot felt risky, but it ended up being one of the surprise standouts. Perfectly roasted with crispy skin and juicy, flavorful meat. It was served with a zesty sauce and roasted vegetables and really homey and tasty. Scallops Risotto: Creamy, aromatic, and cooked to that ideal al dente bite. The scallops were seared beautifully--golden on the outside and tender inside. Service was warm and attentive, and the coastal-chic atmosphere made the whole experience feel relaxed but still special. If you're anywhere near the area, Seaside Provisions is worth a visit especially since they have a Happy Hour.

We ordered the following: Chicken n Waffles Salmon Gravlax Bagel Mushroom Toast Iced Guava Matcha Latte We ordered Chicken n Waffles before on one of our previous visits. I don't remember it being such a huge dish. My memory is possibly a bit shaky, or else it's gotten bigger from before. Either way, the Chicken n Waffles was an impressive serving size. There were leftovers and it's going to be someone's lunch again for at least one more meal if not two! The poached eggs on both the Salmon Gravlax Bagel and the Mushroom Toast were perfectly done. Loved how soft and runny the yolk was. Flavors and texture in both dishes were on point. I could definitely taste the truffle oil in the Mushroom Toast and loved the crispiness of the Enoki Mushroom Tempura. I'm usually not a fan of Enoki Mushrooms but I quite enjoyed them being served as tempura. Also loved the Iced Guava Matcha Latte. I could taste both the Guava and the Matcha flavors. Neither flavor was so overwhelming that it took away from the other flavor. An absolutely delightful meal and I will continue to look forward to coming here again and again! Their desserts are also gorgeous looking. I've never gotten around to buying one yet but I promise myself I will buy one to bring home one day. Usually too stuffed from lunch at this place to sit there and eat a dessert after the lunch, so bringing dessert home seems to make more sense.

The classic Dutch baby pancake with Korean ingredients - gochujang flavoured KFC, kimchi, veggies, an egg in the middle bibimbap style.

Inflation does not exist in one of the few places of the world here at Burgoo. The food is top…read morequality with great ingredients at a price that cannot be beat anywhere else. Make sure you try the lobster bisque as it's one of the meatiest I've had to date; full of that shellfish flavour. The French onion soup is an eye catcher but the broth could use a bit more richness and flavour. Beef bourignon was suggested and I'm glad I took the friendly waitress' recommendation as it was a warm hug on a deep plate. I'd opt to swap for roasted potatoes instead of the mash but the mash does soak up all that delicious stew. The jambalaya is full of different proteins and if you're a fan of that, then I'd make sure to eat this perfectly cooked rice dish. I finished off with a banana bread pudding which was exactly that, banana bread in that bread pudding form; Personally I was hoping for bread pudding that was banana flavoured but it was still ooey gooey goodness. Burgoo should be packed to the brim with this menu for these prices and the friendliness of the staff!

We must like it, we even bought their cookbook to try some of the recipes, especially the Fondumental, which dragged us back there again and again. It wasn't nearly as plentiful or as yummy as we remembered it, but it's still good. The sandwiches and soups have always been rib sticking and tasty. The ambiance has remained the same over the years, a little dark, but the fireplace and the vintage posters are cool. Our server Gary was excellent, Johnny on the spot with all that we were looking for. Their wine and beer is all local, which is a thing these days. My lobster bisque with the FAB salad hit the spot, and the bread piece was exceptional. The lovely K had the onion soup which she liked although said it could use a little more salt. If you want to enjoy a hearty meal on the North Shore down by the water, but not on the water, give it a try, you will not be disappointed!

Not as good as the last time we came. Food was good overall but service fell short somewhat…read more Came here with family. We all ordered our own individual dishes. I just had an Original Gimbap and a Vege Gimbap for myself. It was a hot summer's day so I just didn't feel like ordering hot food. Everyone else ordered hot food though. My daughter has been getting into Tonkatsu at Japanese restaurants for awhile now. So when she saw Chicken Katsu on the menu here, she decided to give that a try. It was just OK for her. No comparison to any of the pork Tonkatsu dishes that she's been having at Japanese restaurants. She still ate it all up though and it was a huge portion. Other dishes on the table included Seafood Noodles, Pork Kimchi Stew, Soft Tofu Stew, Fried Chicken, and Kimchi Fried Rice. My one gripe would be that they took a super long time bringing out my daughter's Chicken Katsu. Everyone else had their food for quite awhile but she sat waiting and waiting for her Chicken Katsu. When we asked about it, they said it was coming soon. But that's what they always say when you ask about something that's taking a long time to come, right? Wondering if they actually completely forgot about it and then put in a rush order at the kitchen when we brought it up.

The potato noodles weren't overcooked and was a great consistency. The seafood tofu soup was favorful with clams and mussels. The raw beef was too frozen and needed to sit out longer. However, the flavor was still good, but I don't know if I'd order it again. The service was excellent and attentive.
