Blue Water Cafe - Vancouver, British Columbia

Celebrated our second anniversary here. They left us a lovely note for our anniversary. The staff was very friendly! We definitely went in with high expectations. Left thinking it was just okay. I recommend the Panna cotta, and sangria. I don't recommend getting sushi here. Fresh ingredients are used ... but just doesn't compare to a sushi restaurant. The popular sable fish was just okay as well as the tenderloin steak. We just felt we could recreate the same food at home. Just wasn't unique or flavorful enough for us. Read more

The service here was excellent, maybe a little too much to the point that it was making my social anxiety very nervous. They have a wide choice of alcohol, including wine and beer, and a lot of good non-alcoholic options as well. The food is very good and obviously comes ... in small portions. I had a stamina roll and sablefish aburi, and also tried the sablefish filet, the broccolini with sesame sauce and the pork cheeks. For dessert we had the lime panna cotta, sorbet and creme brulee. You also get coffee treats after your meal. Read more

The dining experience at this establishment was nothing short of exceptional. The food and service were impeccable, creating an evening that was truly memorable. The sushi, in particular, stood out as a highlight. As connoisseurs of sushi and sashimi—my wife being Japanese and myself having lived in Japan for three years—we ... found the quality to be of the highest caliber. The otoro was especially noteworthy, boasting a richness and melt-in-your-mouth texture that is rarely encountered outside of Japan. The excellence did not end with the sushi. The carrot soup was an unexpected delight, bursting with flavor and perfectly balanced. The sablefish was cooked to perfection, each bite revealing its delicate, buttery texture. Though we relished 24 oysters at The Parlour (another highly recommended venue), which left us too satiated to indulge in dessert, we did take some madeleines to go. These madeleines proved to be a delightful breakfast accompaniment to coffee the following morning, extending our enjoyment of this culinary gem. In summary, this restaurant offers a dining experience that is refined, sophisticated, and deeply satisfying. Each dish is crafted with precision and passion, making it a must-visit for any lover of fine cuisine. Read more

Wow. One of tbe best meals we had during our time in Vancouver last week. Highly recommend their shellfish plateau- such a treat of fresh seafood, it was incredible. You can also never go wrong with fresh sushi. Overall, amazing experience with food and service. Thanks for a great night- we will be ... back! Read more

Was here for a celebratory meal and the food was extremely well prepared and delicious. The sablefish was one of the best I’ve had. Elaine, our server was also fantastic in every way - we did however experience a serious issue that had the potential to be dangerous. The ... senior management did not handle this situation with optimum care or great concern. That was an issue for us and reflects the score we gave for service. Read more
