WildTale Coastal Grill - Vancouver, British Columbia

Our dear friend Ken took us to this place for happy hour. Yaletown has so much going on, it’s so hard to pick, so we were happy he chose. I’m not quite sure how to review this, except by saying, we had a wonderful time. I say that because we didn’t ... order anything specific aside from the drinks. It was happy hour and the menu was chock full. Our friend spoke to the owner (his friend) and he agreed to just bring us out something awesome. First thing was the chef’s refreshing take on tuna tacos/tostitos. I didn’t catch the name, but they were a clever fusion of Asian and Mexican styles. Then we had a seafood platter, that had these crab and shrimp sandwiches (hope I got that right!) in a split toasted bun, wonderfully prepared baked mussels, perfect coconut shrimp on a bed of purple slaw, served with grilled bread wedges. Service was personable, the mixologist made a special drink for our new friend Suki, and we simply had a great time. Would love to come back and try all their offerings. Kudos to the team at WildTale! We are thankful for the experience. 🤙🏼🥠 Ps. The Gin-T’s were fantastic! Read more

My friend and I came here for buck a shuck happy hour. The oysters did not taste fresh, and had a bad aftertaste to them. We also ordered the Truffle fries which tasted fine, in fact they were very good ! I also ordered fish tacos and my friend ordered ... the tuna for happy hour. Both tasted great! I would not recommend people come here for oysters as they were not fresh, no exaggeration even after having dessert at another restaurant we still had a fishy taste in our mouth. Read more

This place has one of the best happy hours around & their buck a shuck oysters are wonderful! Their Lobster Rolls could use a bit more filling, but the rolls themselves were definitely the star of the dish. The Parmesan Fries were delicious, love the way they bake the Parmesan ... onto the fries so they don't fall off when you pick up the fry. The Coconut Fried Shrimp were large succulent pieces that were fried to perfection & the mango chutney added just the right amount of sweetness. The Fresh Seafood Ceviche was just that fresh & refreshing. The only reason I didn't give them 4 stars though was their dessert was very underwhelming. We ordered their chocolate cake & we didn't enjoy it. The icing had a funny flavour & the cake itself was dry. It tasted like an amateur baked it, definitely not something you would expect from a restaurant of this calibre. The service & the drinks were great. Overall, I would definitely come back to this restaurant, but I would probably pass on the dessert. Read more

Came in with my wife during the Taste of Yaletown event which offers a fixed price for 3-4 course meal. There was a good amount of selections in the menu plus we made it for Happy Hour so that was nice for drinks. Everything turned out very appetizing visually and taste ... wise. They were always willing to offer pepper. They did check in after each bite which I guess is courtesy for some who actually expect that? I'd prefer just to eat uninterrupted but oh well. Atmosphere was cozy but lively because you can see the action in the kitchen unfold and everyone seemed to be working well together. I will be back try other stuff because I think I've only scratched the surface. Read more

Appetizers were great. Main meals were late and was just ok. We were a group of 6 and everyone thought that the food wasn't amazing but some thought that the lobster Gnocchi was good. The atmosphere is fun and the restaurant is in the heart of Yaletown.
