The…read moreline was dauntingly long, but it moved relatively quickly (really, there are menus posted while you wait, so you should be ready to go when you reach the order window, but my American is showing). Put simply, this is among the best fish and chips I've ever had. I got the one piece halibut and the bisque. The bisque has a chipotle coconut base, and it's unique and delicious. The fish was fried to perfection, and the halibut inside was a steamy triumph. I added some chipotle lime mayo for the chips. The tartar was lemony and crisp. Chips had that perfect crunchy outer shell with the pillowy potato innards. Cooked to perfection fish and chips while you watch the takeoff and landing of seaplanes. O Canada!

It's a really cool spot right on the pier where you grab your food, find your own seat outside, and enjoy the beautiful water views while you eat. We decided to just order a piece of fish, and wow -- the $15 piece was HUGE! It was fresh, flavorful, and really well prepared. Such a fun, casual place to stop for a delicious meal while enjoying the scenery.

After…read morenearly every dish, we found ourselves looking at each other saying, "Wow... oh my God, that's amazing." The pork belly bao is generously sized and easily shareable. The bun was incredibly fresh, light, and pillowy, while the pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender with the perfect balance of richness and tang from the kimchi. The pickled vegetables added a bright crunch that tasted incredibly fresh. We started with the salmon tartare, and it was phenomenal! Rich, buttery, bursting with flavor, and so good we were literally fighting over the last bite. And the scallop? Order one for each person. Seriously. It's far too delicious to share. It had just the right amount of heat, leaving the perfect lingering warmth that immediately made us want another. Do yourself a favor and give yourself enough time to work your way through the menu, because every dish we tried was outstanding. Each plate was thoughtfully curated, beautifully executed, and cooked to perfection. I like to call it the C³ trifecta: curated, created, and cooked. Without question, this is some of the best food we've had in a very long time. We can't wait to come back (when visiting) and continue eating our way through the rest of the menu.

The interior of the restaurant was quaint. The service was minimal. We tried their specialty beef rice noodles called "Beef Crossing The Bridge" - which was served deconstructed: bowl of broth, bowl of noodles, 11 toopings/ingredients (e.g. bean curd, broccoli, a quail egg, carrots, wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots), raw beef, and cooked beef. We also tried an order of pork belly and rice, won ton soup, and pan-fried dumplings. The beef rice noodle dish was bland - broth was lacking flavor and depth but the noodles had a nice, smooth texture. The pork belly dish had tender pieces of pork belly but the dish itself lacked in flavor. The won ton and dumplings were decent but nothing special.

The mussels at Finn's were some of the most delicious I've had in a very long time. Perfectly cooked, delicious broth, and the bread was faaaantastic. We also got the smoked steelhead pizza. At first, the "WTF, fish on a pizza?" makes you shake your head, until you put a perfect slice of that oddity in your mouth, and then realize fish has ALWAYS belonged on pizza. Then, when you dip your pizza crust into the remaining broth from the mussels? Brah. Roll me out the door because I am fat and happy. Huge shout out to our bartender, Amrit. It was apparent that they were short staffed, but he rocked the service well and the bar top. Also, as a bartender, it was awesome to see the manager efficiently helping out, not just going behind the bar and being in the way. They're both obviously great at their jobs.

Seafood pasta doesn't come with mussels like it does at most of the other places in the same area but it was still good! Service was great we had Martin who was a beauty! Restaurant is located in the Hotel Grand Pacific and therefore is very nice inside. It has a sunroom at the front with tons of windows and fire pits inside which looks pretty nice! Something to note is some of the tables have couches as seats which is interesting and makes it a bit hard to eat at but wasn't a big deal for us. Definitely give it a try if you're in the mood for a heavy seafood menu!

Breakfast was good - yoghurts, continental style, etc. Recommend the pancakes (3 cakes) so you can try Alberta maple syrup. Dinner was a leisurely-paced (2hr) affair. Waiter was outstanding. Started with the Mezze platter with hummus. Unfortunately the hummus lacked flavor. The "short rib" wasn't a typical short rib. It was sous vide at 65 Celsius (~150 F) for a nice medium steak. A bit fatty but good overall. Ended with a chocolate torte, which was fantastic. Definitely come, if a bit pricey.

Butters parmesan fettuccini is included. The wine is all on tap and not very good. Recommend skipping that and getting a cocktail. It's packed pretty tight with tables. Initially I thought our corner tale by the window was not good but I think it was better than being out on the main floor where it was crowded.

We tried several rolls, and the Chubby Daddy was definitely the standout. It had a great balance of flavors and was easily our favorite. The Lucky Strike Roll was also very good- I think it would be a fantastic introduction to sushi for someone who's new to it or a little hesitant, since the smoked salmon flavor is approachable and familiar. The tempura avocado wasn't quite for us, as it was a bit too mushy, but that's more of a personal preference than a criticism of the dish. We also ordered another roll to share, but it wasn't particularly memorable compared to the others. Overall, the fish tasted fresh and was clearly high quality. Combined with the excellent service and a beautiful patio that's perfect for summer dining, we'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.
