Blue Water Cafe

Had a really great dinner at Blue Water Cafe. We started with the Songbird and Smoke Show cocktails. Both were great, but the Smoke Show was definitely my favorite. The mezcal gave it an amazing smoky flavor. For appetizers, we had the sockeye salmon sushi roll and the dynamite roll. The dynamite roll was good, but the sockeye salmon roll was the standout. The salmon was incredibly fresh, and there was a lot more salmon than rice compared to most sushi rolls, so every bite was packed with flavor. The complimentary bread service was also delicious. It came with two dipping sauces, and the carrot and lentil one was my favorite. For dinner, we ordered the braised short rib and the flat iron steak. Both were really good. The only thing I’d mention is that the sauce on the short rib was a little strong for my taste, but it was still a great dish. We also got mashed potatoes and mushrooms on the side, and both were super tasty. For dessert, we shared the warm chocolate cake with ice cream, which was the perfect way to end the meal. The vibe was great, lots of people-watching, and the service was spot on. Our server was attentive without hovering and checked in just the right amount. Overall, a really enjoyable experience and I’d definitely go back.

Great presentation of the food, amazing service by the staff and God atmosphere. The food quality was not all there for the price you pay. Lack a few flavors and a few dishes not all delicious. Great experience worth to try at least once

Thank you Jared & team. We had dinner at Blue Water Cafe last night, and our server, Jared, was absolutely outstanding. He was incredibly attentive throughout the entire evening and possessed a deep knowledge of the menu, explaining the dishes with great detail. His drink recommendations were also spot on and enhanced our meal perfectly. What impressed us the most was his impeccable pacing; he managed to attend to every single table with absolute precision, without ever making anyone feel rushed. Jared balances warmth and professionalism beautifully, and he was truly a key figure in making our evening a memorable success. A huge thank you to Jared and the entire team for an unforgettable night. Exceptional service like this elevates the entire dining experience. Highly recommended!

We celebrated a birthday at Blu Water Cafe on Boxing Day and had a fantastic experience. We focused on the raw and sushi bar, ordering oysters, trout and tuna tartare, hamachi, and several rolls – all were excellent. The flavors were fresh, bright, and clean, exactly what you want from quality seafood. Every dish was beautifully executed and showcased the ingredients perfectly. The cocktails were equally impressive and paired wonderfully with our meal. The menu is extensive with so much we didn’t get to try, which just means we’ll have to return. We finished with the lava cake for dessert, and the restaurant made our birthday celebration feel special with thoughtful touches. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-notch seafood in Vancouver. The raw bar alone is worth the visit.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Little bit of a late post but me and my girlfriend came here for the valentines special menu. It was amazing and the service was really thoughtful. Our server was Aaron, and he was very kind and made terrific suggestions. He was very honest too and suggested I get the Sablefish rather than their steak. I was very happy I did make that decision as the food was top notch. They gave complimentary bread with a very nice hummus style spread. The appetizers were very tasty, especially the crab cakes. The desert was also super delicious, the tiramisu had quite a strong orange profile to it. The $50 whiskey flight from a japanese distiller was also quite smooth and tasty. Overall will visit again and ask for Aaron!
