Amazing seafood, the menu is quite extensive. However, the service was very slow and we had to wait a lot for our food. Nevertheless, the food is worth the wait. The atmosphere in my opinion was loud, crowded, and the air conditioning too strong. These two aspects (slow service, cold weather) made my experience a bit uncomfortable. However, the food... More

As part of a convention group, we had reserved the entire restaurant for approx 200+ patrons, the restaurant staff handled the large group very efficiently, they had several food stations on both of their levels, our table was able to sample all of them. The verdict was unanimous, the food was fresh and delicious. The staff was very efficient and... More

Service and food were excellent. If you want to carry on a quiet conversation or speak in normal voice, then this is not the place for you. Quite noisy and crowded...but this was also sign of a popular restaurant. We enjoyed the meal but we were hoarse afterwards! Oh well ...trade offs.

Really enjoyed this restaurant. The service was excellent. The server recommended the Halibut several times so we took his recommendation and we weren't disappointed. The oyster combo was also excellent. One of my companions wasn't a fan of oyster and he even enjoyed them. It is a little pricey but it is downtown Vancouver.

Started out with a nice cocktail and then had a wonderful crab cake appetizer. For the main course we had the halibut and salmon entrees with a great tasting fried Brussels sprouts side , and a scallops addition. Finished with the " to die for" coconut pie , and an Americano. Great vibe at Coast , the servers are friendly... More

Last night I had the Dungeness crab crab, which was flavorful and moist, and my husband had the halibut which was crisp and light. Tonight we checked out five restaurants and went back to Coast and had sable fish, which was delicate with a wonderfully textured farro risotto. The presentation was a feast for the eyes. The banana coconut cake... More

Very good seafood. Raw oysters were wonderful. The best thing we had, though, was the Brussels sprouts. The people next to us said the banana coconut dessert was fantastic, but we were too full to order it. We ate on the front porch area. The people-watching from there is good, but the tables are very close together. You will get... More

They took us last minutes which was nice but then we waited nearly an hour for our food. The halibut fish and chips I had were not as good as come I have had from street vendors for a third of the cost. The staff was very friendly.

Passed by on our way to another restaurant and the scene here looked good. The place was nearly full, and a bit loud. The cocktails were great, though often took too long to arrive (nearly finished my meal before the refill came.) Food was OK.
