    We had a really good lunch here. We ordered several appetizers along with glasses of red wine and…read morebeer. The food was excellent, and our main server was very nice and attentive. We really enjoyed our meal. The only downside was the assistant server. She checked on us several times to see if we had finished eating, even though there was still some food left on our plates. It made us feel a little rushed. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place.

We arrived in time for our reservation but there was no one at the front. We waited for a few minutes for someone to notice we were there, and were immediately seated. It's a nice looking place - very classic whites, and feels like a fine dining restaurant. We decided to try the following: - Beef Carpaccio: Good. Maybe a bit light on the meat, as it was buried by the arugula and pickled shallots, so seemed unbalanced, but overall tasted great - Seafood Linguini: Mixed. Linguini was good. Scallops were really good and tender. Mussels were tiny. Red snapper was tough and dry. As a dish, it was OK, but could be better. Seafood is seasonal, so I'd think they would be better off rotating what seafood is used. - LuLu Island: OK. Same issue as the linguine. Prawns were fine. Mussels tiny. Red snapper wasn't enjoyable. Broth had flavour, but didn't come out very hot. Service was pleasant but slow. I only saw one server and one busser, so not enough staff to handle 6 or 7 tables they had. Starter came n reasonable time, but main dishes seemed to take over 20min. Took awhile to get our plates cleared, and probably 15+ minutes to get the bill. Overall, it was OK. Food was OK, but not special. Service was nice enough, but couldn't keep up with timing. Glad I got to try it, but not special enough to go back.

    Review solely on drinks…read more One of the Vancouver friends swears by this place for getting drinks in Steveston. I can see why. They have pretty nice wine, beer, and cocktails selections at very good prices. A lot of places have drinks 30-50% more for similar quality. If you're into sports, this is a sports bar so it is an added bonus. We tried the strawberry cheesecake martini and the Dirty Laundry white wine. The strawberry cheesecake martini is like a spiked strawberry milk and it is very delicious and easy to drink. The Dirty Laundry white wine has a funny name but it is quite nice and sweet. The bartender willingly went above and beyond and split the drinks into 2 glasses for me and my girlfriend. I cannot imagine how big the cocktails are for a standard glass! Overall, solid alcohol selections at great prices and great quantities. I can see the appeal of going back for the value and quality.

    Look no further than here for super fresh seafood and house made drinks…read more I read about fisherman Frank's story a couple of weeks ago and how the food truck came to be. I like supporting local businesses and food is an easy way to do that since we need to eat. It was closed the first time I went. Good thing the hours were posted on the food truck. So I came back again and got to try the special. Grilled snapper with Greek and orzo salad. The snapper was so fresh. It was sweet and tender. The Greek salad was also good, no limp-looking vegs. Crunchy and juicy cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes. The tomato was bursting with juice every time I stabbed it with the fork. I gave up and just popped it into my mouth. Yums. The street corn was also sweet and juicy with a bit of char. Love the toppings on it. There was a promo for street corn and drink ($8). I had the ginger citrus iced tea. The iced tea was lightly sweetened and I found it just right for my taste. The ginger and citrus flavor was very subtle, not overpowering. I like that they made it in house. None of those powder or box tea. I will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu. Friendly staff too. Prices are a bit on the high side for a food truck but the quality justified it. Nothing worse than paying more for mediocre food.

The food is good and prices high but comparable for this tourist area. The real disappointment was the service after the order was taken.

There was a pleasant fun vibe with the music and there were a couple visibly happy patrons at some tables we were seated near. The server was very nice and patient as we took awhile looking at the menu figuring out what to order. We decided on an order of calamari appy. An order of warm seafood salad for wifey, 2pc halibut and chips for me and we shared an order of tom yum goon soup from the Thai section. Everything was tasty, fresh and perfectly cooked. The calamari had a nice crisp, well cooked and had a nice tzatziki dip. The fish was perfectly cooked and portion size was wonderful. I got a nice mouth full of fish each bite and the batter was not overly thick. The Thai soup was flavourful and had decent amount of mushroom and shrimp within. I did notice a slight sweetness more than usual when I've had this soup elsewhere but it was still very flavourful and delicious. Just making it a different rendition of a classic. The seafood in the seafood salad was Bountiful and the salad portion decent as well as fresh. Imo for a chef to pull off wonderful cook and flavor of different styles within the same establishment is a thumbs up to their craft. Wifey and I enjoyed the meal and I would eat there again.

Mushroom soup: not much flavour and a few leathery fried mushrooms at the bottom Yam salad with kale and barley: was fresh and colourful but needed some acid to liven it up. After four bites I got bored. Rice balls: golden brown and bite size with a side of tomato sauce with shredded onions and carrots. Rice was overcooked and mushy. Tomato with pancetta spaghetti: here is where the fusion aspect misses because I didn't like cured ham flavour of the pancetta. Service was good, very quick. Ambiance is clean but I was also close a woman with too much perfume and every time the door opened that cloying smell overwhelmed me.

The restaurant was clean, well set up, and nicely lighted. The service was great. Our server was friendly, and the food came out quickly. Now into the food: Honey Garlic Chicken Wings 2.5/5. They were ok but nothing special. I feel like I could have similar wings buying it frozen from the grocery store and at $2.50/wing. I cant justify that. Seafood Pasta 3/5. For something that was almost $30 I expected more. The amount and size of seafood was fine but I had expected more flavour like grilled prawns or seared scallops. Seems like it was all poached so there was no colour and everything was the same texture, colour, and flavour. It was cooked well and tender, but for the price, I would have liked some crust on my scallops and I could not taste the lobster in the sauce. Overall, it was seasoned well and still tasted good. Calabrese Salami Pizza 3.5/5 Crust was crispy and thin. Good amount of salami. Could have used more olives. The oven made the salami nicely crisp on the edges. However, there was no basil as noted on the menu. Just a little bit of basil oil drizzled on the center. Overall, if you want a comfortable place to sit and catch up with friends, this is a good place for it. The food while okay, could use some improvement.

My niece and I parked the car a couple of blocks away and walked down towards the water. This quaint little "village", which is part of Richmond, was absolutely lovely, and when we came across Dave's, we had to go in. The place was busy (always a good sign) and we were seated towards the back of the restaurant where we had the place all to ourselves. Loved the nautical ambiance. Our server, Trixi, couldn't do enough for us, and she answered all our questions about the area and what to eat. We both ordered fish and chips, which came with crispy, sweet coleslaw, very tasty and hearty french fries (almost as good as Quebec's :-)). I had the halibut and my niece had the cod. Both were crispy on the outside and hot and delectable on the inside. Love having both white and malt vinegar on the table with the salt & pepper, just how it should be in Canada. To top it off Trixi suggested trying their "Growers" cider (made in BC) so we both ordered Juicy Bartlett Pear. Soooooo good. I will definitely be back when I return, sooner rather than later.
