Delicious food, but the service was so slow! We had to wait almost 2 hours for our meal. We were so hungry that we couldn't even focus on conversation and enjoy the meal. The restaurant was less than half full at the time, so it wasn't that they were overly busy. Very disappointing. read more

The Salted Vine Kitchen + Bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Squamish, British Columbia

Had reservations for dinner Wednesday night and arrived early to enjoy happy hour before sitting. We were seated right away and informed that we could order happy hour anywhere in the restaurant which was pretty cool. The happy hour menu offered a few drink specials along with starters. The food listed was regular price, while a handful of their cocktails were discounted a few dollars. We decided to forgo happy hour and skip straight to dinner since. We started with the Dirty Jane and Hotel Georgia from the bar. We both really enjoyed the Hotel Georgia. The orange blossom water gave it a delightful flavor that danced across my tongue and left me eager to taste more. The Dirty Jane wasn't quite our flavor palate, but worth a try for its uniqueness. After receiving our drinks Lauren took our dinner order. We started with the frites and beet salad. The beet salad was beautiful and much larger than we anticipated with beautiful slices of beet, pickled shaved carrots, and whipped goat cheese balls. The frites were crisp and golden on the outside and soft on the inside. Shaved Parmesan cheese blanked the frites and a miso dipping sauce added dipable flavor. From there we each ordered the fall prix fixe menu which boasted a starter, a main dish, and a desert for $39.00 which was a total steal! There was also the option to add a wine paring onto the meal for $39.90. They were mainly white whines so I skipped the pairing and opted for a second cocktail. My prize fixe started out with the albacore tuna that arrived seared with a kimchi vegetable display on top. It was unique, flavorful, and fun! For dinner I enjoyed the pad Thai while my husband had the New York steak. He thoroughly enjoyed his meat, vegetables, and potatoes even saying that the outer was the best tasting baby food he's ever had. He nearly licked the plate! The pad Thai was unique- I wouldn't say it was a typical pad Thai dish for me it my husband who has spent a lot of time in Thailand, but it was flavorful and yummy. For desert we each had the vanilla gelato. It as another very unique dish that sent my tastebuds into a frenzy as they worked to piece the flavors together. Vanilla gelato was topped with a chunk of chocolate, sea salt, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. It was a fun ending. Wrapping up our meals my husband ordered the high mountain woody which was probably the best drink of the four we tried. Very unique and fun! I ended my night with the full Nelson which was delicious but a tad bitter. It does have whiskey bitters in it, which I appreciate just didn't overly love. Overall we enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back to try more items from the menu. The restaurant was not very crowded, but might fill more on the weekend. If you are in the neighborhood I highly recommend stopping by to give your tastebuds a treat! Parking is in the lot beside the restaurant or on the street. After dinner you can mosey a street over to peruse the darling main street shops. read more

Thirty bucks for a steak-- not bad! It says it comes with chimichurri so I was a bit confused by the green paste on top. I also wish they threw in some greens to balance the meal out a bit. The flavor was good though; the steak had a nice smoky profile to it. read more

The Salted Vine Kitchen + Bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Squamish, British Columbia

We made an impromptu visit for dinner here based on the yelp reviews. Our oldest child has severe allergies including dairy, eggs, fish, and nuts. We were unfortunately not able to order her anything off of the food menu and needed to just get her some fries for dinner. The burger patty had egg, the pad thai noodles had fish in the sauce and the noodles were made with egg. I'm giving this restaurant top marks for how careful and thorough they were with confirming allergens across all of their foods and sauces. They tried to offer us multiple alternatives that my child would be able to eat, but we just have such a wide range of allergies that we were difficult to accommodate. We got the salmon for the adults which was nicely cooked, and the gnocchi was a hit. Fries were nice and crispy. I would definitely visit again when I'm in the area, and a special thanks to the staff for being so careful with our family's food allergies. read more

Was looking for a good healthy dinner after a long day of Salmon fishing on the Squamish River and saw this restaurant on Yelp. The food was excellent and the restaurant had a chill ambiance and was not pretentious. Ate at the bar and had some great cocktails made by the friendly and professional bartender. Highly recommend this long established Squamish Restaurant. read more

The Salted Vine Kitchen & Bar is a higher end restaurant in the small town Squamish. Decor is definitely nicer than the other restaurants in the area. Love the relaxing environment. My friend and I had a girl's weekend out. We ended up dining here during happy hour. They have Happy Hour daily between 3pm to 5 pm. We both ordered the TSV burger that came with fries for $22 and we shared 6 oysters for $12. The oysters were super delicious and fresh. I really liked the vinaigrette that went with it. The TSV burger was delicious on first bite. However when I got to the end, I found the burger had too much mayo and was too rich. It was a very flavorful burger for sure. The fries were very salty. I think overall, everything was delicious except for the salty fries. I didn't end up finish the fries because I felt the burn and abrasion on my lips. Service was ok. I guess they were somewhat short staffed. So, I am not going to put a lot of weight on the service. The owner was onsite that day. I believe the server came late to work or something. The bartender and the owner tried to sub in when the server wasn't available at the beginning. However, our glasses were not filled when it was empty. There was a time where my friend flagged the server over to get some salt and pepper and I am sure the server saw that my glass was empty and he didn't bother refilling it. When the server showed up, we did find her a bit forgetful and a bit scrambling trying to manage 4 tables. Overall, I would come back. It is definitely one of the better restaurants and better deal in Downtown Squamish. read more

Pad Thai is amazing. Can't be beaten Consistent and delicious. You have to try it!!!! Jeffrey Jenkin read more

Drinks were wonderful. Pasta and burger were lovely. Staff seemed to all work together which was nice.

Initially 3/5 but brought down to a 1 after the owner's attitude. It is also NOT an upscale dining experience like their website states. I thought this was a university pub. Food: I thought the food was okay. The albacore tuna was nice but the duck confit and meatballs that my partner and I got were not great. The best thing about it was the vegetables, which had a very nice natural sweetness to it. However, the duck felt a bit dry and the meatball dish was just cold. Not even lukewarm after waiting for almost an hour. Experience: My partner and I were invited for dinner by our friends on a Thursday night, and we were all appalled by the owner's attitude. Our friend made a reservation at this place, and as we were walking in, we were greeted by an unhappy and grumbly host (which turned out to be the owner). After we were seated, we noticed that there was a large group of people celebrating someone's birthday and we were seated right next to them. The group eventually became increasingly loud, and I could not hear what our friends were saying because I was sitting on the other side of the table. A group of 4 people could barely hold a conversation unless my partner was relaying what they were saying and relaying what I was saying because the large group was talking across the table, shouting, cheering, and clapping right next to us. But it's really not the group's fault for reserving the restaurant to celebrate their birthday. We just thought it was very weird for the restaurant to have tables available right next to the party and not have that area closed off for the party. And because of the party, some of the food was not available and we felt like our food was forgotten, given the long wait. After our friend talked to the waitress about it, the owner came and that was when we found out that the guy that greeted us was the owner. Our friend basically told him that 1. The area should have been closed off if there was such a big party 2. If it's not closed off, they should have informed us beforehand about the noise and delay in food Which was a very fair thing to say in my opinion. And the owner's response was that 1. I did everything right and nothing was wrong 2. We should have just went to the patio 3. There's no way they are closing the restaurant for 32 people if they can fit '90' people and that we are wrong but we are free to think that way First off, saying that you can fit 90 people is an outright lie, as the large group was taking up the majority of the indoor dining area. Secondly, we were getting chilly so we decided against the patio. If we had known about the situation earlier, we would have rather stayed cold in the patio or not have dined in at all. I did not understand the owner's demeanor and his defensive, argumentative attitude to what seems like a pretty reasonable feedback. Claiming that this is an 'upscale' dining experience is a joke. I've had better and quieter dining experience with warm food and prompt service at university pubs. This was easily the worst dining experience of this year. Our waitress was pleasant but the owner really needs an attitude check. read more

The Salted Vine Kitchen + Bar - The cold, not so flavorful meatballs with even colder ragu sauce. Great veggies though. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Squamish, British Columbia

Surprise!!! Amazing food. Very friendly service. We both ordered fish and it was done to perfection in a nice miso sauce! The salad was fresh and yummy. We had the fresh beet salad and it was fantastic. I would highly recommend this place. read more

I have eaten here twice. The food is probably the best Squamish offers, but the room is so unremarkable that I cannot offer five stars. It feels like a school cafeteria. A big rectangle, tables scattered within. There is something sterile about it that's hard to place. Food is great. A real variety so there's something for everyone. Spicy Thai. Tasty burrata. Fun appys. Cocktails are good but not astonishing. Disclaimer: I'm from Vancouver so I'm a fancy man. read more

OMG...best gourmet food in Squamish! We found this restaurant by process of elimination on Thanksgiving Sunday. Very few places were open so we gave this place a try. What a fabulous experience! From being greeted by the owner Paul to our friendly waitress to the exceptional food, we were satisfied customers. We'll definitely return in the future. Reservations are recommended, although we managed to secure a table for 3 of us. read more

The attempt to present Italian fare with unpalatable seasoning and combos was very disappointing particularly the prices they charged. Won't be going back anytime soon read more

Happy Hour prices are great in such a classic atmosphere! Oysters and Drinks are always a hit

Best stop in Squamish, hands down. The cocktails were exceptional, but the food put even them to shame. Think fresh bread with lemon butter (whatttt? didn't even know this was a thing, but now I'm obsessed). Light and refreshing seared tuna with radishes. A perfect beet salad with goat cheese. The. Best. Fried. Cauliflower. Ever. I fully planned on sampling their scrumptious desserts, but by the end of the meal, I was so full that I had to call it quits sans sweets. The price, ambience, and quality all lined up for a total win of a meal. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area, or even 30 mins away. It's worth the drive. read more

One of my favorite restaurants of all time! Located in the quaint, yet cute town of Squamish, this restaurant delivers in quality, display, style and taste better than it's Whistler / Vancouver counterparts. The menu and service is second to none. Not to mention a unique and fantastically made cocktail menu. Highly recommended for anyone staying in or passing by Squamish!! read more

Second and last time visiting this place. The wait staff was slow to take our order and deliver the food. The staff need better training with communication skills. Some food ingredients did not appear fresh. We heard people complain about the service and food quality. Last month, a man, with his date, from another table tried to tell off an elderly woman because she made a complaint about the service. He wanted to show off even though it was none of his business. Pat Allan, the owner/director of the restaurant, did not do anything about the rude man. The waitress was also rude to the customer. Pat then harrassed and threatened the elderly women outside of the restaurant. The woman had already left, but he raced outside and made a threatening gesture as if to hit her. Pat is a tall person and the elderly lady is much shorter than him, there was no need for his violent actions. Pat also made a racist remark about her nationality. This all transpired in front of restaurant guests and people outside the restaurant. Shame on you Pat and your staff for being rude to customers. Very poor treatment at this restaurant in my neighborhood. read more

I was here in early 2023. The food was excellent, as was the service, ditto for the ambience & a very decent wine list

Great service, decent ambiance - it was cool that the building was opened in 1906 or something insane. We started our with the bread with lemon butter and it was good. The lemon taste made it original... We also ordered the cauliflower and it was amazing! It had an Asian flavour to it, I believe it was made with miso and sesame oil and was amazing. I also ordered a dirty Jane cocktail and it was mixed to perfection! For mains I had the buccitini pasta. It had prawns and octopus and the pasta was cooked perfectly along with a nice sauce. My gf had the rissoto which she said was good but a little too salty. Overall a great place for fine dining in Squamish for date night. I didn't give it 5 stars because the main dishes were good but nothing special. read more

Amazing! We went to Squamish for the sea to sky gondola. When I looked into restaurants in Squamish the salted vine came up and we're very glad we went there. We went there for happy hour, and had an amazing goat cheese and beet salad, and the chicken wings. My friend have a lovely cocktail the Pim's cup. We actually left with a doggy bag. read more

On the way from Vancouver to Whistler I asked my daughter to look at the reviews on Yelp to find a restaurant. She chose a fantastic restaurant in Squamish. The Salted Vine's menu was great, the food extraordinary, and the level service is beyond reproach. We'll definitely come back here as every dish was enjoyed. I took some great pictures as all the food was a work of art. We really loved the cheese plate for dessert. (Fantastic selection) read more

the food quality was decent but the service was slow and not great. my husband ordered the scallops as an entree and it came with some peas and corn (as decoration) no starch like roasted potato or rice. when we asked why an entree (only 4 scallops) came with no starch we were told that it's 'very north american to expect to roll out of the restaurant full' - $35 for literally 4 scallops and some peas and corn is a bit ridiculous. the response to our question about the starch was embarrassing for us. don't go there hungry and definitely don't question their menu. read more

My husband and I found this while staying at an Air Bnb in town. Honestly, not expecting much were were very pleasantly surprised. From the homemade bread to the perfectly grilled octopus with fresh greens everything was fresh and delicious. The service was equally on par. I really hope that we make it back to Squamish if for no other reason than to eat here again. read more

Superb service, excellent food and great atmosphere. We will no doubt return on our next visit to Squamish.

I asked them to make a custom dish for me, since they didn't have any vegan options (no less vegetarian). They did a sourdough toast with avocado and roasted tomatoes, which was actually quite delicious, and a side of potatoes. My husband had the salmon Benedict and said it was ok. Prices were high, portions small, and again no vegan options which would be nice to see. read more

You could spend a lot of money here but we didn't and it was still great. Happy hour from 3-5 gives one a break on a cocktail of the day. Sunday it was double Caesar's made with a crafted Clamato juice. Prix fixe was $33 for four courses- hooray for shoulder season. Excellent smooth onion soup. A cheddar soufflé with grainy mustard sauce and pea shoots that was not only amazing but large enough to be an entree. The actual main was a mushroom barley risotto. Smooth with some depth of flavour. Unfortunately I couldn't finish mine because I was too full. Strangely that didn't stop me from sharing a chocolate fondant cake with vanilla ice cream. The service was fine and it was the Rolling Stones on the sound system (what's with old music in Squamish?), and rather oddly CTV news on a flat screen. Also some tables are practically in the dark. The recommendation came from the owner of another Squamish business who said it was a bit pricey. It is not expensive by Vancouver or Toronto standards and is definitely worth the money. read more

Cold atmosphere. Small amounts of food for the asking price. Not worth it really. Service was slow and amateurish.

Our family and I had a great time at The Salted Vine. It's in a beautiful area in Squamish, with the mountains in the distance. All the food that we had was really great. I would recommend sharing all the food. Wagyu beef was delicious. My only small complaint is that the waitress didn't really know the menu too well. But a great restaurant, great atmosphere ... well done! read more

We went for a wedding but the food was amazing!! The beef was so tender and it is the first time I liked chimichurri as it was so flavorful. The fish and veges were also great, very tender but cooked perfectly. read more

We decided to stay in Squamish after a day in Whistler. Looked around online for some dinner ideas and settled on the Salted Vine. Our AirBnB hosts listed it as the only 5-star restaurant in town so we made a last minute reservation, which they graciously accommodated. What a great choice! First impressions don't convey 5-star, but once we settled in, the cozy and casual ambience was perfect. They have an extensive cocktail and wine list and we dove into the cocktail section. Really smart and interesting selection - would've loved to try more than two. We had a featured appetizer - an heirloom tomato salad with goats cheese and gazpacho dressing. Fresh, well presented and delicious. We also ordered the bread with lemon butter and olive oil. The multigrain bread was fantastic! For mains, I had the kobe beef and my partner had the meatballs with a side of roasted carrots. The beef melted in my mouth and the chimichurri sauce was possibly the best I've had. The meatballs and carrots had a decidedly north african flavour profile and were beautiful and balanced. Their menu is fantastic - if we lived nearby we would return to try almost everything. So glad we didn't stay to eat dinner in way-too-touristy Whistler or we would've missed out on this gem. read more

Nice and accommodating server, great wine list, but the food could be better. The "slow cooked" pork belly was clearly deep fried and not slow cooked at all as the fat was not rendered. The dish was also more luke-warm rather than hot which made it less appealing. The burgers also seem small for the price, and over cooked. Also no gluten free bun options which is a bummer for the gluten intolerant. read more

I loved it! Food and ambience. I've attached photos- the oysters were unreal, maybe my favorite part. So fresh and juicy! The best salad had all the components of the best salads- sweet, salty, crunchy, tart, chewy, crispy- super super fresh. All the flavors came together so well I loved the hazelnuts! And the duck breast was tender and flavorful, cooked just right- reminded me more of a fois gras. I had a local Cabernet franc that was excellent (the wine list was super accessible for local/Canadian wines) and sat at the bar, cozy and undisturbed. Noise level is average. I was able to read a little of my ebook. Can't wait to bring friends back here, loved my experience! read more

Former Araxi Chef de Cuisine Jeff Park and manager/sommelier Pat Allen recently opened The Salted Vine Kitchen + Bar in downtown Squamish just off the Sea to Sky Highway. The Araxi veterans are focusing on contemporary Pacific Northwest cuisine, seasonal dishes, local beer/wine, and a dedicated cocktail program (sweet and sour welcome cocktail with muddled blackberries, lemon, and mint, above). The seventy-seat eatery also boasts a twenty-seat patio and full bar. We were treated to some Kusshi oysters (with mignonette and horseradish) that were unsurprisingly fresh and smooth. Among the more adventurous and unique dishes, the grilled octopus (with gochujang, zucchini, eggplant, peppers, and lotus root) was a pleasantly tasting mishmash of some great flavours. This delicious and colourful charcuterie platter (with assorted meats, beets, burrata, pickled mustard seeds, and gherkins) with its well-cured meats and cheeses was more than appetizing and satisfying. The theme of sharing plates extended to the entrées where the grilled flat iron wagyu beef (with smoked sea salt and chimichurri), Merguez sausage (with couscous, tomato fondue, sultana raisins, and arugula), and roasted carrots (with spices, yogurt, honey, and almonds) were served side-by-side as a delectable platter. The beef was well-cooked (just rare enough) on top of the savoury sausage with a hint of spice. The Salted Vine is a charming upscale but still welcoming dining destination off the Sea to Sky Highway giving travellers and passers by a nice option on the way to or from Whistler. read more

Hidden gem in Squamish! Asian inspired cuisine that is super tasty and clean. The house made pickled veggies were delicious. Portions are kinda small though, but that left room for dessert. The chocolate cake is amazing as well make sure to get it. read more
