If you want consistently great Thai fusion in New West, Longtail Kitchen never misses. As the…read moresister restaurant to Maenam, you can really taste that same attention to balance, depth, and quality in every dish. My partner and I are regulars here. Some of our go-to favourites: green curry, pad see ew, gai lan with pork belly, and the Thai fried rice with grilled pork. The flavours are super consistent every single visit, which honestly is half the battle with takeout spots. Their rotating specials are also worth watching for m, and are always fun when there's something new in the mix. (my pictures don't do justice) It's definitely a bit pricier than your average quick Thai spot... however, the ingredients taste fresh and the portions are satisfying. Love the little thoughtful touches too: self-serve water station, compostable containers and cutlery, and an easy casual setup that works perfectly for a Quay lunch or dinner. I'm giving it a 4-star because the place closes at 6pm Mon-Thu and at 7pm on all other days. I always feel like I need to rush or have early dinner if I wanted to grab food from here. All in all, this is a solid Thai food option in New West. Basically, if Thai street food and elevated comfort food had a waterfront glow-up, this would be it!

First visit. Ordered from brunch menu. Restaurant was large and had many places to sit including…read morewindow seats looking out to the water that were unoccupied. There were some patrons dining but most of the restaurant was empty. Guests were made to wait to be seated, guests requested a window seat and host responded they might get one. There was a staff shortage and each team member was assigned a work area. Though personally I would have automatically seated the potential patrons the table they wanted to make diners happy, get the orders, inform the wait staff of the "exception" and help the business profit so I can have a job and receive a generous tip. The ratio of restaurants vs disposable income has changed greatly. Server was friendly. There was paid parking and connected to a hotel. Seafood chowder was hot, tasted good and had a nice amount of ingredients. Benny was ok. Water glass arrived with food inside the glass from previous diner. Entire bill was paid and tip was provided. A nice place to visit and dine with friends and guests with a great view and quiet enough to chat and catchup.

I haven't been to any Boathouse Restaurant in the Lower Mainland for years and surprised to know…read morethis is one of the few remaining ones left. We were lucky to be able to sit with a view as the restaurant was empty. Our server though was very nice. He accommodated our request for substitutions. And when my husband's salad was erroneously given to our friend, he gave us another serving of it. The food though, is quite expensive for the quality of it, thereby making food choices limited. I did not enjoy the Blackened Black Cod I had. Size was small, some seasoning was a bit too strong while lacking in umami. Boathouse Calamari was overly coated with flour and there was more tempura veggies than calamari in this dish. Caesar Salad was shy of garlic and overall bland to taste. The Seafood Carbonara tasted like pasta in white wine cream soup rather than incorporated in the cream sauce. Overall experience was disappointing. It felt more like a diner with expensive food. This location, being by the water, would have made a popular and enjoyable place for a meal.

We got a total of 3 boxes. Beef teriyaki, chicken teriyaki, and salmon sashimi donburi. All three of them were great. They had a variety of sides some differing from box to box. This made it harder to choose what we wanted, but ordering all 3 allowed us to try a little from each box. There wasn't an item that was not good. Loved the variety, freshness, and flavours. The most difficult part of coming to this restaurant is parking. However, that won't discourage us from coming again.

I was glad to see that some of the portions were adjusted from the last time I ate here. The spring roll was a good portion (last time it was the size of my pinkie). I wasn't quite full, so we decided to add the chopped scallop roll. It came out within minutes of me ordering it. We were impressed by the speed of service.

This was my fourth visit to Alta Steak & Fish, and unfortunately, this was also my most…read moredisappointing experience. For my last three visits, we ordered the Tomahawk steak everytime. The first time was amazing--the portion was generous and the steak was cooked really well. The second time wasn't quite as impressive, but still enjoyable. This time, however, the Tomahawk was noticeably below the standard I had experienced before. The doneness wasn't quite right, with quite a bit of over-charred exterior, and there was also a lot more fat than I expected. What I found particularly strange was the way the steak was presented this time. Normally, a Tomahawk has the meat on one side of the bone, but this one seemed to have the meat separated into two sections, almost as if it had been cut through the middle of the steak. It just didn't feel like the Tomahawk I was used to having here. The steak also cooled down very quickly, and once it got cold, the texture became noticeably tougher and less enjoyable. The service was also particularly slow this time. We were seated around 7:30 PM and placed our food and drink orders within about 30 minutes. The drinks came out within roughly 20 minutes, which was reasonable, but we waited almost an hour before the first appetizer finally arrived. Considering it wasn't an especially busy evening, the wait felt quite long. That said, the other dishes were still pretty good. I especially enjoyed the Stuffed Squid appetizer. Overall, I still think Alta is a nice option for a small gathering or dinner with friends. I've enjoyed my previous visits, which is why I keep coming back. I just really hope the Tomahawk can return to the quality it had on my first visit.
