Blue Canoe

The restaurant was busy but service is fast and the waitress was very attentive as well. We got 3 course dinner and it took us an hour 10 mins from sitting down to leaving. Foods here were delicious, the seafood tasted fresh, small but good portion. Dine out menu has great value. Would highly recommend!

Decided to pop into the Blue Canoe on a whim one rainy day. We were sat right away right next to the water, under a heater with a plastic tarp on top to keep us dry. Customer service was wonderful. The food however was quite lacklustre. The seafood chowder was runny and devoid of flavour; albeit the seafood tasted quite fresh. If you love thick, creamy, and savoury chowder, I do not recommend the chowder here. The salmon burger was tasteless. The salmon tasted frozen, was dry and needed a lot more seasoning. Perhaps some more salt and pepper… anything? The salad.. was well.. a salad lazily stuffed into a tiny metal bowl. The customer service is a 8/10 and the food is a 5/10 - definitely edible but would not go out of my way to recommend this place to anyone.

We went to this restaurant impromptu after riding our bikes to Steveston. I’ve been here before a few years back but don’t remember how it was. We were on a bit of a schedule but we were able to be seated fast (balcony was super busy and full so we were placed in the indoors dining area). Service was generally fast. I ordered the Baja shrimp taco salad because I didn’t want anything heavy for the bike ride back. I will advise people to not order this salad. There was way too much salad dressing, and the shrimps (which are supposed to be the main part) were unbearably salty. I didn’t wanna waste food so I had to chase each shrimp with a full glass of water. It was just terrible. We also had the burger sliders that were satisfactory. They probably have better dishes that we didn’t order but overall this experience with this particular dish was not very stellar. They did look aesthetically nice though if that counts for something.

Our server Evan added to our amazing anniversary “date day” the muscles were some of the best we’ve had. The Prawn & Crab Linguine was tasty. The focaccia bread was soooo good! Beautiful location, comfortable casual classy vibe to this restaurant. Can’t wait to come back. We will ask to be in Evan’s section. Thanks for a memorable dinner!

Our experience at the Blue Canoe was great. We sat out on the patio and enjoyed the beautiful weather while we ate here. My wife and I loved the seafood tostados and fish and chips. Our server was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean. The washroom is clean also. Overall our experience was enjoyable and I will probably return some time in the future.
