PIER 7 Restaurant + Bar

Had brunch today with a friend and drove all the way to North Vancouver to try the restaurant for the first time. I wish I could give 5 stars but there are things that needs a bit of improvement. The view is spectacular no doubt, I always go to restaurants with great views and wide windows , hence, on my reservation notes I requested for a window table with a view but I think that was not where we're at today but I didn't give too much attention to it as I want to enjoy the morning with my company. Food was great, ambiance is cozy and warm. One thing I noticed tho is some of the staff are really aggressive, sassy, and unwelcoming that even my friend had noticed the gestures not only to us but to other tables too. Overall, the experience was good but will probably take more time to reconsider visiting the restaurant after today.

Good service / Great View / Ok food Very good service and the view & location is great as well. Only downside is that the Steak was over cooked , we ordered a cocktail named White Sangria, it is very tasty. Overall the experience is pretty good considering is my first time trying it out, definitely will come back again

We came here for Dineout menu. All 3 courses were awesome. In fact, all 5 of us were praising the food quality from the appetizers to dessert. The servers were attentive. View of downtown Vancouver was enjoyable.

Great place and environment, can have good view on harbor. The salmon burger tasted amazing. Not satisfied with the medium steak and lobster, both were over cooked little bit. But still a nice place with great service to enjoy.

Definitely recommend this restaurant especially for the seafood, the ocean view and ambiance but not for service and quality of the food. Definitely NOT for Valentine's Day dinner and not gay friendly. There was an image of a naked woman above each of the urinals, not very classy or respectful but fit for a cheap bar. The wall paper was also peeling off above the urinal. A Covid sign would have more utility. This location is clean and OK for drinks. There are bars, dinning on both levels and the view of Vancouver was amazing. There were a few challenges during this visit and our dinner did not go as smoothly as we hoped although we spent about $130 and did not order the cheaper meals. Last night was packed so make reservations the night before. Wait time was about 45mins to get a table for two as we did not make reservations. The patio on the ground level was cold and people dined with their winter jackets on. This might be good for people who were concerned about air circulation during the pandemic but this is not for everyone. Open spaces in the clear plastic tarp allowed cold sea breeze to enter at 5 degrees Celsius. An ideal patio for Summer. The manager worked his magic and relocated us to the upper level patio where it was comfortable due to overhead heating lamps. My expectations were not met comparing my initial impression, the price on the menu to the service and quality I paid for. Not good value for money on this category. It felt like Bait and Switch. You might want to ask for indoor dinning table with soft seats not basic walmart patio chairs.The surf and turf was ok. Good portion size.The lime margarita on the rocks was good. The quality of the cooking and service could really use some training. Our waiter said if you want soft moist and pink say medium rear because the medium I received was on the medium well side - mostly gray, dry inside and very little pink in the middle for me. No gravy or reduction sauce. I guess the customer is not right at this location. It was replaced with a medium rear succullent steak but it came at the end of the meal when I was almost ready to pay the bill. Usually steak is eaten with something other than a watered down glass of coca cola that took 15mins. Alcohol refills are faster here. I had 4 leaves of arugula. Barely anything to eat it with because I ate the lobster, mashed potatoes and asparagus while waiting an Hour for the remake on the steak. Instead of staying 1 hour, my visit was extended over 2 hours. Lobster was bit on the tough side so I order extra butter. This was not the experience I hoped for. Maybe because of my race or gender or untrained staff when it comes to customer service. The kitchen staff must be able to work in a fast paced environment, think customer first and be more proactive. See pics. Thanks.

This place had to wait over 30 minutes for each course meal. The steak was ordered medium but it was almost well done and the food was cold and the linguini was cold too. The server in charge brought only a fork and coffee for the last dessert and made us wait for over 30 minutes. I wanted to eat those cakes with coffee, but in the end, I didn't have time to eat, so I took the cakes and had to rush out. I tipped $30, but I never want to go there again. I went there because I wanted to see the view of the sea, but it was disappointing. I think it would be better to visit only those who can wait more than 3 hours during lunch time.

The food was delicious but we waited for it too long to have the meals after appetizers. The ambiance was not as I expected. You're lucky only if you have a table next to the window (when it's not freezing cold). Otherwise it doesn't have a nice environment inside. You can find the most recent menu among my photos.

Nice and cozy on a December night when there was snow everywhere in sight. If you can then please get reservation in advance. We did a walk-in but thankfully we got a table. We were a group of 6 so we ordered a few items and overall everyone enjoyed their food. The staff were also polite and friendly. Definitely recommend it!
