PIER 7 Restaurant + Bar in North Vancouver

Awesome happy hour place.

Nice atmosphere and area, but the scallop ravioli is ridiculously overpriced for what you get. $33 for 6 ravioli and 3 small scallops. Literally the size of an appetizer. My friends rigatoni was worth it though.

Great view and foods. Chef feature menu is great. Tuna stack and prawn gnocchi was phenomenal.

Mist accommodating staff, friendly and courteous. A rainy day at the warf and we 2 were early for a party of 4 and initially seated outside enclosed but heated...yet a chill was still present. We decided to move inside and the host suggested we sit at the bar with our Sangrias while waiting for our friends and a window table. When they arrived, we were graciously seated at a nice table at the windows. Our waitress Billie B arrived took our friends drink orders and left the menus. When she returned, we ordered. We shared the calamari, my wife and he had the Featured fish and chips, she had the Cajun chicken Caesar and I had the scallops and ravioli. Everything was Very good.. My wifes side Caesar was fresh and crisp..the fish was tasteful and not overly battered, the fries were nicely seasoned..the salads were very good and my raviolis and scallops were very nice. A different twist. We finished with a couple of cappuccinos, 1 decaf and one regular. So it was a very successful lunch, great, friendly service from Bille B. Thank you for a good time. (Sorry..no pictures this time)

I could almost guarantee one day the food will be looked into, every time I give this place a chance the food and drinks are less yummier. Orange juice that is said to be fresh when I tried wasn t and had to return it. Fish and chips way too greasy and salty, soggy fries. Too bad it s a nice location.

Recently I was lucky enough to stumble upon this hidden gem at the quay! My girlfriend was off to see Taylor swift so I decided to treat myself to a nice meal which was so delicious. I m a big burger guy and the prime burger does not disappoint and to think that wasn t even the best part of my time there!! I sat at the bar and my bartender Nicholas was not only knowledgeable but such a delight to have a good chat with. He sold me on the Kaiser sour and it seems to be that was exactly what I needed. If you plan on going to pier 7 I highly recommend sitting at the bar and hoping you get the same lovely bartender that I had! 11/10 experience

I live locally and come to the restaurant often. The food is excellent and the views and ambience are great. My favourite meal is the salmon in beurre blanc sauce. This has happened multiple times and I feel I need to say something this time, I have been turned away multiple times at the door between 8 and 9 being told the restaurant is closing. This time we arrived at 8:05, at the door we were told last call would be for closing at 9. We sat down and were told we needed to order food right away. There were multiple tables with people enjoying the evening. The restaurant was not empty, We rushed and ordered some food and wine. As we sat there we saw multiple people being turned away at the door. At least 4 parties of people. We had some great appies and were enjoying our wine when right at 9 pm every single light was Turned on, and the lights were bright. It was like being at a nightclub when all the lights come on at the end of the night to clear people out fast. We had drinks left in our glasses as well as other tables. We all spent money having a nice evening there. Another patron went to the front to ask what was going on, and the manager came out and said that it was her that had turned on the lights. This restaurant could be so much busier If they didn t chase their customers away so early in the night. I always wondered why the restaurant was so empty in such a nice area and I truly think this could be one of the reasons. It was a very disappointing. We were entertaining a friend from Germany and she was wondering if this was customary at restaurants. We reassured it was not and we headed to Joeys and had a great end to our evening.

Good food with great views

This restaurant is Hit and Miss. If you tried it in the past and werent happy, I recommend giving it a second chance. Ive been here when the service was not the best but the last couple of times the food and service has been fantastic. I keep coming back because the views are unbeatable. Parking: Its located in the shipyards which is a wonderful place to explore and walk around in.

Great food, great service, great view. Made for an awesome night

Great food. Roasted sable fish - yum. A little noisy for my liking. Several GF (gluten friendly) options. Food : 5/5

Very delicious foods and friendly server Nicholas S he is very nice and polite, thank you so much, we will come back

A lovely Happy Hour treat. We enjoyed the beautiful view, lovely cocktails and the BEST Truffle Fries Ever!

Beautiful patio with amazing views to enjoy happy hour! The truffle fries are so delicious!

Perfect evening for family celebration! Fantastic wait staff service, delicious food and amazing view. From the salmon, shrimp pasta, chicken and the steak meals we had, all were delicious and beautifully plated.

Its a good spot in North Vancouver to enjoy the stunning ocean view while enjoying tasty food. It has a good patio with a relaxed ambiance. The staff is friendly and attentive.

The scenery is beautiful, a great place to watch the sunset

Really enjoyed the Blackened Salmon and Grilled Prawns entree in early November 2024. Would definitely go back for that dish. The views are great.

This place has the potential to be an amazing restaurant given its location right on the water, but unfortunately, the food was very average. My poke bowl had absolutely no flavor, cost $25, and the portion was small. The drinks were pretty average too along with the service. To make things worse, there were rats running around outside near the heaters. Sadly, I don t recommend it and won t be coming back. I really hope they can turn this space into what it truly could be one day.

Great experience considering my special request from the manager, and thanks to the lovely ladies who made our time a memorable one!

Excellent customer service

It is a little bit of a stretch to call this an upscale place, but they definitely believe they are. The service however, was amazing. They have a very accommodating staff and the food was pretty good. Not to mention the view. Vegetarian options: There are plenty of options

Awesome seafood, nice view and great service. Definitely come back

I was there by myself for a very early dinner and they refused to seat me at a good table because I was alone. Which was annoying as there were many empty tables on the patio. I was only allowed to sit at the bar. My food was good, and the waitress was nice. Just upset I was not important enough for a good table near the window/water

Wow I m speechless! I came in for brunch today and I have to say the bennys were amazing!! Wow!! I think it s possibly the best benny I have ever had. The eggs were poached to perfection and it was just overall so delicious. Will be coming back and recommending to everyone!

Great spot . You sit right next to the shipping yard and Canada Place is right in front of you .

We ordered two 3 course dinner meals. The main option we both upgraded to the tenderloin as apposed to the sirloin. My friends steak was under cooked to the point of being cold in the middle. She was also brought the wrong first course resulting in her watching me eat the first course. As for the under cooked tenderloin by the time the waitress came around and we were able to send it back enough time had passed that we decided to take the steak and dessert to go. Upon being presented with the bill there was no attempt to offer a comp of any kind on a disappointing $80 meal. Unfortunately I wasn t thinking on my feet and still tipped 18% which I should have held back in the absence of an attempt at a comp. I guess when you rely on the tourist dollar you re not concerned with repeat customers. Which we won t be.

Came here with my girlfriends to catch up after a long time. Customer service is so trashy, from reception girl to waitress. Neither introduced themselves, we had a reservation, still had to wait for some reason only god knows when it was not busy. We were ignored multiple times, and one of my friends had to flag down and follow the waitress around so we could place our order. The staff here prefer to frolick around the place, and dont even try to look busy. Food was very much 10/10 and the service is an embarrassment. We regret choosing pier 7, and kept mentioning how we should have chosen Joey instead. Given the experience today, I can confidently say that no one will reach out to make this right, and will turn a blind eye. TLDR: Service is absolute garbage, more like a self service, and we wont be back.

Great view, great service, great food! Highly recommend the seafood chowder!

The View; breathless! The food; great! The service; awsome! Food : 5/5

Fresh seafood with a beautiful view of Vancouver. Heated, glass-walled patio. An easy ride from Vancouver on the seabus. We grabbed dessert at the food hall on the way back to the seabus. Overall, a lovely outing away from the bustle of Vancouver.

Wonderful food, location and service. We had the pacific cod & chips and the seared halibut. Highly recommended.

I recommend Pier 7 for large parties. We planned a corporate event with them, and the team was great to work with. They offered custom menu items to suit some dietary restrictions in the group.

This restaurant has gone down hill with their food. Was the worst food Ive had in a long time and was crazy expensive. Will not return.

I ve always admired Pier 7 for its beautiful waterfront setting, but unfortunately, my recent visit was a bit of a letdown. The service was incredibly slow, and one of my friend s drinks was forgotten entirely, which put a damper on the experience. The food was okay, but not particularly memorable. The truffle fries tasted just like the regular fries, which was disappointing. I really want to love this place because of the atmosphere, but I m not sure if I ll be back given the service issues.

Me and my family went for the Thanksgiving dinner hoping for a fantastic experience. The server we had was absolutely lovely; however there were several problems when it came to the food. We got our appetizers after an hour of being seated, and I had to send back my plate and my grandmothers TWICE. On the menu it stated that the beet + burrata dish came with candied carrots. The first time it came out with no carrots, and when I sent it back it came out with just shredded carrots thrown into the plate. Thankfully the main course was delicious, the risotto was perfect and the meat very flavourful. Then came dessert. We were seated at 5:30, and when our server came to greet us she informed us that the pumpkin crème caramel had already sold out for the night. The limited menu service started at 5pm. As someone who works as a Chef I was surprised and not very impressed. After our meal I met a lady in the washroom and she said she had just finished the pumpkin crème caramel, and her table was seated at 6, and a table near to them walked out after no drinks or appetizers after 45 minutes. The Apple dessert we received was frozen in the middle and the apples were crunchy with ice :( Overall the front of house staff were all amazing, super friendly and gave our table a bottle of Prosecco as an apology which was very lovely. In the future I would encourage whoever is in charge of the kitchen to make sure that during a limited menu service everything is fully stocked. I understand Thanksgiving weekend is busy for all of us, if I was in the kitchen I would ve been embarrassed for sending out still frozen desserts and incorrectly plated salads.

Upmarket class

Fresh air and ocean breeze enjoyed and relaxing Kid-friendliness: Very Good and Enjoy Food : 5/5 |

Excellent experience. Service was top notch and the food was great. Cant beat the view of downtown Vancouver from this location. We love that we can walk to it.

Nice view but terrible food. Burger was basically just fries but no meat, a lot of fries..

Excellent food, excellent choice of wines, nice and smiling staff. Well done

This restaurant is fantastic! The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the setting is so nice. Its a place you have to visit. Highly recommended! Special thanks for **Erin** for her great service

The view is good, waitress is nice but lack of training. The food is horrible. We are three adults and one kid. I ordered a burger which is way worse than Mcdonlds. The beef patty is over cooked. No flavor at all. My friend and my wife had tuna fish salad which were totally tasteless. Maybe it is noon, so the chef will come until night. The place has no merit of food except has a good location for view. Also it is pricy.

I went for the happy hour. Ordered fish and chips with truffle fries. Their food serving was big. Nice view of the Downtown Vancouver. The best is the service. She was smiling and attentive.

I understand the pressure of working in the restaurant but I feel im not welcome in this restaurant is it because of my simple attire?or what? Im already in reception and never say hi and they taking order so long..and maybe poor time management .but its okay I understand,.but atmosphere 100% you will like it..In clam theres small rock inside haha sorry base on my experience, very crunchy .

Wonderful spot on the waterfront with amazing views of Vancouver. The place was clearly understaffed, we were at our tables for ten minutes before anyone came our way. Server was friendly, food was pretty decent and fairly priced.

Very nice view and amazing happy hours menu. Best seats are in the patio where you can see the downtown. I tried both red and white sangria, both are good, but i preferred the red sangria. Their calamari for appetizers is very tasty.

Just got finished dining here! Our server Annika was a lovely woman and we enjoyed talking to her a ton. The food was also amazing, I practically inhaled my serving. I only write reviews when I m really amazed with service so, do give Annika the credit she deserves! Lovely server!

Unfortunately will not be taking anyone here again, as they have removed vegetarian and vegan options. They used to have at least a vegetarian burger but even that has gone from the menu. Restaurants need to know that they don t just lose vegetarians as customers, but also any meat eaters who would have come with them.

We had the prix fixe lunch special on the terrasse by the water. Serene summer views of the Vancouver skyline. The menu had decent choices for the appetizers, mains, and dessert. We tried their broiled oysters, steak frites, prawn spaghetti, and two different cakes. Service was friendly but a little slow. Not unexpected for the lunchtime rush. Would definitely recommend to friends that they try this out when theyre visiting!

Nice place but the food unfortunately not so good. Staff was nice.

Good

Meeting point

My wife and I went to pier 7 for our 28th wedding anniversary..the table we were assigned wasnt the table we preferred,but upon seeing our preferred table and asking if we could be seated there instead. The staff was incredibly accommodating and contributed to the specialness of our big night... one staff member truly stood out. Our best possible thoughts and reviews go out to a very nice young man named Youssef (sp?). This person is an asset to any employer in the hospitality industry...during conversation my wife and I were told how much he enjoys working at Pier 7, how much better this resteraunt is than others to work for and his fellow staff members are all like family.... I almost forgot...The food was amazing, the bartender didnt even flinch about my pink eye. .......

I was about to stop in for a quick bite today, but I couldn t even make it inside. I saw about four staff members smoking right by the kitchen, likely bringing secondhand smoke into the kitchen and contaminating the food. The exterior of the building is littered with cigarette butts, particularly on the side where the kitchen is located. Seeing the staff smoking and leaving the door open not only allows secondhand smoke to enter, but also raises concerns about hygiene as they return inside to prepare food with potentially dirty hands. This situation is not only unhygienic for customers but also dangerous for the local wildlife, including dogs and birds, in the area. I urge management to address this issue immediately for the health and safety of both customers and the environment.

The seafood chowder was the best Ive ever had.

So nice place . good for friends and family getting together.nice food for share and cheap drink.we are having a great time in there thank you

With the other options that are near the water this place has a great view. If you are looking for a variety of seafood, this place has your standards and decent for price as well as location.

Food was good. Area was nice. Restaurant had a good vibe. Not a big fan of our waiter. But oh well.

We had a wonderful experience here last night. Though the service was a bit slow but the servers and food are great. One of the best steak I ever had. Kudos to the Chef and kitchen staff. Definitely gonna be back here again to celebrate occasions. Kid-friendliness: High chair available for babies.

The night we were there, a loud group at the next table made conversation difficult. The service was too fast, we wanted a relaxed dinner. Good view.

Great experience overall, we just regret the frozen shrimps on the seafood towet and the PEI (!?) Frozen mussels. Plenty of fresh delicious mussels and shrimps on the BC coast.

Great catch up with a friend. We shared delicious fish & chips, and wings... and wine. Gotta love half-price wine nights. It was busy, and service was still attentive. And that VIEW (which included my friends yacht... kidding!) !!

Staff here need a training for sure. Small portion, crazy expensive, crazy staff who barely looking at you or paying attention. Takes about 20 mins to get water. No heads up on spicy food specially with kids. Takes almost 50 mins to get the food, and god help you if you need extra fork or water.

Such a bad service, we didn t want to eat there because of the rude treatment we got and wanted to leave. They served the dish we ordered and we didn t even touch it, they asked us to pay for the dish when we wanted to leave. We refused to pay for the dish then the manager kailey said she would file a police report for one cheap dish. They should hire a new manager to manage the place properly. The manager seems very racist. We ll never come back again.

Sat ouside with nice view. Pleasant atmosphere. Food was good too.

Love this place. Cannot wait to come back again!

My halibut sandwich was ho ho hum. Seafood soup bland tasting. Come for view, eat the steak which was very good. The extruded fries were crisp but not something I like. All in all the lobby is where I would go for seafood and steak. This place is a miss. Chef needs a new home.

Was a nice experience. Service was attentive, and the food was good. Outdoor patio with a nice view, Im definitely coming back

Went to have lunch on Canada Day the Chicken Cajun Burger was terrible loved with salt and over cooked dried chicken. On complaining was told better luck next time.

The team in the kitchen produces works or art descised as food! Everything I have had on the menue has exceeded expectations! Chef and Team deserve to take a bow at the end of each service! I will keep coming back. Jenny B you rock girl!!

We had dinner at Pier 7 and had a wonderful time! Erin was amazing, fun and cheerful and totally made our night! The food was delicious and served at the perfect time. Keon, the manager, was also great, we enjoyed meeting him. We will definitely be back!

Unfortunately the upper patio was closed as we wanted to eat there. But the food was great, but a bit too expensive, I ordered steak with lobster and I really liked it. The service was something in the middle, I hate when servers make the face after I dont leave them tips, but whatever.

Food and cozy atmosphere . Would love coming back to enjoy sunset on their upper level patio

Great place for brunch. Had good service and the food was very good.

Very beautiful view on the patio. Amazing service. We had sweets and it was very good.

Nice prawn Cobb salad and pier 7 soda. Excellent views on the patio. Bathrooms upstairs (from what I saw) and the elevator was not working.

The waterfront view is amazing The food was ok As a regular customer, I was shocked by the terrible treatment at this restaurant. We werent even offered a refill on our drinks or any water. When we requested to change tables (the restaurant was not busy, and no tables were reserved), we were rudely told no. Kelly, the manager, brought our food while carrying a lot of frowns and talked aggresively When we asked her name, she responded rudely with Any problem? I hate the managers behavior; she was totally proud, rude, and aggressive. Her attitude was completely unacceptable Customers are valuable for the company we can reject their request with a nice of tone and action not being rude

I was a fan of this restaurant. I loved their food. But last night I went on person to the restaurant with my guests from Australia. They told me we gonna put you on the waiting list and will send you a message in 20 to 30 min for outdoor tables. I received a first message that I am in a waiting list. We walked around and no news. I walked back to check on my waiting time. The door was closed, they never called me back or recalled me or texted me. I asked for explanation, the girl told me you gave us a wrong number. I told her how come I received the first message on same number. It is impossible. She said we are closed and can t do anything for you. I was so disappointed and told her I have a guest with me and this is in responsibility of the restaurant. I won t come back again to this restaurant. She said: OK. I was too shocked after living in Canada for more than 13 years it was a first time I saw this behaviour instead of saying just a simple sorry. We just went to Tap and Barrel next to them and enjoyed our meal there. Never ever come back again because of a behaviour of this one staff there.

My wife and I stopped here on our back home from our honeymoon. We picked a beautiful day and enjoyed the excellent view of the Lonsdale Quay. We ordered the fresh seafood platter (cold) and really enjoyed it. The service was fast and very friendly. The patio is a little cramped, and we felt bad for the staff who were constantly having to open and close the only door that exited onto the patio, often creating a bottleneck of people. Unfortunately, the only bathrooms are upstairs, and when we were there the elevator was broken, so if you are physically impaired, I would suggest phoning ahead of time to see if this issue has been fixed.

Fish and chips were excellent, burger not so much for the price.

It was our 37th wedding anniversary dinne atmosphere, drinks, dinner, and service were perfect. Try the steak sandwich with bacon and yam fries. OMG, delicious! Food

Poor food quality I expected alot better for what I paid

Food looked unappealing and low quality, terrible accommodation for a special event, worst table in the restaurant was given, would not recommend this place to anyone that wants a good meal with a view

Lovely oceanfront location, good service and tastey food. My only reason for giving a 4 is that the noise level was quite high once the restaurant filled up. The food was good but not exceptional. The staff were friendly, professional and accommodating.

This location has a truly stunning view, so I was disappointed when I experienced slow service, and mediocre food. I was there with a group of 8 and we were promptly sat in a wonderful location of the patio, looking out towards the Vancouver skyline and one the Seaspan Yachts. The first drink order took longer than we would have liked, but that seemed to be the trend for the remainder of the meal. There were a few items on the menu that stood out. Our friends loved the Cajun Chicken burger, the calamari was fresh and not overly-oily or breaded and the mussels were reasonably well seasoned. The dishes that didnt quite do it were the fish and chips, which were overly fried and oily and the chicken caesar salad, which was served with what we think is a store-bought dressing. In terms of happy hour choices, there was a good selection of discounted drinks, including the sangria, and the on-tap beers were cold and crisp. I would recommend this place for summer patio drinks with a view, and would give this place another try on food, perhaps at a less busy time to appreciate better service and hopefully food made with a little more care.

Always a quiet spot whenever we go. We prefer to tap and Barrell as seems less people go here but I dont know why food is beautiful. The best fish and chips. Their fries are thick and great portions. We also got the prawn Pomomado and it was so good. Highly recommend this place.

Perfect place to go on a beautiful sunny day. We were lucky to get a table at the patio. They have an amazing view. Food was amazing and service as well. Everyone was SO kind. Perfect place to celebrate special occasions.

Our waitress was super friendly, I dont know her name, red hair. The hostes and the other woman who was bussing tables were more that rude to the guests. The hostess was arguing with 2 tables during my visit. We asked to be seated at a table with a better view, and the hostess with a rude ton told us that we can go to another table because the one we wanted is not set upt yet, but the table she wanted us to seat was the same as the one we wanted. No cutlery on both tables. Belinis are amazing. Im not sure if I would visit this place again. Definitely not if I would see the same hostess and busser working.

I am writing this review because Pier 7 is one of my favourite restaurants in North Vancouver We usually go to Pier 7 but today I didnt like the behaviour of the front desk girls. we asked for a table for two and the girl in front of the desk told us there was no table and we had to wait for 40 minutes I said ok and waited to get the message but didnt receive any calls or texts while the girl got new customers without reserve. Thats disappointing that a good restaurant hires unprofessional staff... I hope I can change my review to 5 stars back again

Great views and atmosphere but thats about it. Food was average with disappointing artificial tasting mocktails. Service was disengaged and unattentive, leaving menus and empty plates on the table until we asked to have them removed. Given all the restaurant choices in this area, consider spending your money elsewhere.

Came in with reservations, waited a good minute before even greeted. Got seated another 2.5min beforehand waitress came, didnt introduce herself just gave us water. Green salad is okay, not a lot of taste. Little too plain, Im asian and my taste palette is always on thr lighter side. Not to mention, full of flies everywhere. Disgusting... Oysters were good, fresh, but took forever to bring it over..a good 12 to 14 minutes. It has been over 20mins since appetizer came, main course still have not arrived. Restaurant is absolutely not busy whatsoever. Food finally came after 45mins. Waitress apologized for the long wait. Food Steak..ok. I asked for rare gave me medium rare. Daughter ordered pasta. Very spicy, didnt even warn us. Got a tirumisu cake..doesnt even taste like one. Overall experience. ...yea...

Amazing views, excellent service, exceptional food! Cant ask for more. Thank you Pier 7 for the perfect meal!

Called ahead and asked if we could sit on the patio and get some drinks. Told us to come down and could sit on patio and it wouldn t be a problem. Arrived as scheduled and was then told the patio is closed for the night. Waste of time and gas Very unprofessional won t be back.

Always a great spot! The views are phenomenal, the service is always professional and courteous, and the food is so delicious. Give it a try, great for an event or a date, and not many places can do both this well

I am a frequent diner at Pier7 and my last experience did not disappoint. From the hostess at the front to my server and the food. Five stars all around!

we went to pier 7 for the very first time for an anniversary dinner and we ordered a few appetizers and mains, the appetizers came out great and when we took a couple bites of one main dish we noticed a hair in it, understandable that minor inconveniences such as this can occur but the full enjoyment of having a sit down dinner together was gone as we ended up with 2 forks in one main dish since the replacement meal took quite some time resulting in us getting it packed to take home. There was no sort of compensation given to make up for the ruined quality of the experience. Our waitress was nice and apologetic of the situation, but very unfortunate for our anniversary dinner.

Amazing restaurant! Came for dinner to celebrate a special occasion, and we were all so happy with our experience. Stunning views, comfortable seats, tasty food, big portions for affordable price and great service! Will definitely return!

Excellent views and yummy brunch! Our server Michelle was so nice - even tho she was still in training, she did a great job. We were all very pleased with our food. It was our first visit but we will be back again!

Ordered a medium rare 12oz striploin steak, came out essentially fully cooked. They also forgot the ordered avocado on my wifes salad. We sent it back, and they brought back a medium 6oz sirloin, and at that point we just gave up. The waitress also did not apologize and instead just said Ill get the kitchen to make you a new one rush. Great view, but dont expect much from the food.

North Vancouvers best waterfront restaurant experience. Great selection of wines and seafood.

Receptionist lady was never smile or being nice. Feels like she has arrogant attitude, everytime I asked her anything it always started with unfortunately Even though there were seats available she let us seat in the corner like we were flaw. I would never go back there. Good view though.

Great view. We went for the happy hour deal just beers. Good service.

Amazing view with great service.

Very friendly. Alaska Cod was Excellent

Amazing food and views!.

Beautiful space and delicious brunch. We could watch boats and planes go by the water on their beautiful patio. Love it!

Such a delightful evening shared with my friends. Our server Haley made my birthday dinner truly special with her prompt service and delightful charm.

The oysters tasted fresh and the beef was cooked well. The sablefish was good too, but nothing special as I have had better and the dish felt very unbalanced. They had this fillet underneath the fish that was simply weird and tasted pretty terrible, I am still unsure of what food that was but it soaked up all the sauce and fell apart into this soggy dough, my fish ended up a tad bland because of that. I usually only judge a restaurant for their food because I don t think judging by service is very fair. However, this instance was unacceptable. The table next to us received their food before we did after the waitress brought their food to our table thinking it was our food and then we proceeded to wait another 45mins after that before our food actually arrived when the restaurant was not packed and it did not seem very busy. Their fries are probably one of the worst fries that I have ever had, it is super thick and doughy, I was eating the outside because that is the only crispy edible part. We sat outside on the patio and that is fantastic, it s a very nice view and we saw a seal. Too bad I was so irked by being hangry at that point that I couldn t be awed by the cute seal.

Good food and service.

Was a great day on the deck. Staff was wonderful and happy. The food was excellent.

Great service and the food was delicious.

We had made a reservation, when we got there, no tables were available outside but we were told it would only be 15min. untill one cleared up, so we decided to wait at the bar. 25 minutes later we ask the waitress and she had clearly forgotten about us. We ordered some wine and the glasses were covered in water stains. The bottle wasnt opened properly and the glasses were never refilled by a waiter. The food was okay at best, their seafood selection is disappointing for a seafood specialized menu. We specifically asked the waitress to give us some time between the appetizers and the dish but to no avail, both dishes were brought very close to each other. Towards the end, they were really trying to kick us out asap (at 10.30pm) creating a very uncomfortable atmosphere. Overall, it feels like this is a cactus club that pretends to be a high quality restaurant. The only thing that makes it kind of worth going is the view. If you cant get a table with a view, dont bother going.

Delicious!

Service was just ok as we ordered appetizers right away, but it took 45 minutes to order mains. Took a while for food to arrive as well. I would give the food a 3.5 if possible. I got the blackened salmon and tiger prawns and the green beans and mashed potatoes were very salty. Everyone elses food was good but not amazing.

It was only OK. We went on a busy Friday night. The service was so slow. We sat down at 7pm. At 8:30, half of the people in our group left to go look at the night market. Our main course still hadnt arrived.

So my eyes eat before my stomach. Definetly recommend happy hour! Great prices! I order the cajun chicken salad, yam fries and of course my eyes are bigger then my stomach; I also ordered fish and chips! Cajun chicken ceasert was made nicely, chicken was moist and not too salty. Fish and chips were definetly the star! 2 huge pieces and plenty of fries! I also had a cocktail apple ginger bear mule! If you love ginger beer, I definitely recommend! I didnt eat all of it ,plenty to tskr home. My friend got the steak and frites with half salad and half fries. Steak was cooked perfectly medium. And my other friend got the cajun chicken burger with truffle fries. We definitely were stuffed! Didnt have room for dessert but will be back for the lava cake and vanilla ice cream!

Just a huge shout out to your beautiful restaurant and Hayley my server was amazing,1st class service I travel around Vancouver and Vancouver Island House/Petsitting and I love eating out,your restaurant is now my favorite.Your oysters,chowder and monte cisto were delicious. Thank you,I will be back in June

I wont patron this restaurant anymore. For 4 times I requested medium rare steak and they were all served well done or medium well. Waitors were nice and they gave a discount every time but thats not what I was looking for. The chefs are simply consistently stubborn. Pity they occupy a very nice location.

Wonderful service, excellent menu, and outstanding scenery!

Had great experience with their happy hour. Their food was full size and good portion.

Looking for a great spot to unwind after a long day? Look no further! The food at this place is simply amazing, and the staff are some of the friendliest Ive ever encountered. Plus, theyve got the best happy hour specials around - its quickly become my go-to spot for a good time with friends.

Worst dinner for price ever. I called specifically asking if they had lobster in drawn butter and girl said they did. We get there for reservation and wasnt any lobster in Shell on menu so improvised and was tough and overcooked.i specifically chose this restaurant thinking as they said I could order lobster dinner and now the case. I dont think Id go back. Aat least not with that new chef. Waitress was very nice but didnt meet up to the meal. Not a great chef. And price was ridiculous for quality of meal. Dont recommend this restaurant

We usually wouldnt come all the way up to North Van for dinner. Im glad we did tonight. We didnt feel like having wine but the wine list was great. My wife had the Surf and Turf. Its a bit expensive but it was glorious, no regrets. I had salmon and prawns. Nice and smokey and the portion was generous. Service was remarkable. Like non-pretentious, great positive energy and our server eve cracked a little joke about placenta. That was the highlight of the night. Well definitely be back

Super awesome views and foods. Everything is great, Recommend!

Excellent in all the ways

Update March 2024: Is Pier 7 slipping back into old patterns? The past few years had a noticeable improvement in service...but my last few visits its once again been slow slow slow (food as well as ordering). Hope they can once again fix things. ---- Pier 7 has really stepped it up in the past few years - their service is now excellent and the food is great (loved my salmon-quinoa). Theyve recently extended their lower patio and its an absolutely amazing location, right on the water with a view of downtown. Craft beer on tap too.

If you are a person who enjoy view while eating and want to celebrate your special day with your family, this is right place for you ! I went first time to enjoy lunch on my birthday. I highly recommended

The food price wasnt justified by the quality of it. There were only 5 tables at the time and they still took about 25 minutes just to bring our drinks. I got a cocktail that I saw just chilling on the bar for at least 10 minutes and by the time it got to our table the ice had melted so it was very watered down. The panoramic view is really nice but the food is definitely not worth it.

Average at best. A lot of hipsters and bitter west Van matron s. Not very appealing over all. Food was the most interesting thing there. Perhaps it was bad luck. A lot of loud tables with dad s credit card on hand. Did i mention the hipsters i thought that phase was 2010. Lol Food

The bar staff and the food was good. The hostess at the front was lacking communication and critical thinking skills. We asked for a table at the patio and she said there was a 40 minute wait. We were ok with that. We then requested to sit at the indoor bar so we can have a drink first but she kept insisting they arent allowing table switches. Weird thing to say since its always been common practice to settle up at bar and treat your indoor table as a separate tab. Even weirder considering the bar was empty. Anyways we sat at the bar and got a text 15 minutes later and we settled up and proceeded to our patio table, which was an indoor seat. When we questioned the hostess she insisted that she told us theres no guarantee where we got seated and both my partner and I can confirm that was not communicated. Wouldve preferred to stay at the bar instead of a tucked away table where no one bothered to check on us for the rest of our visit or even offer water. I wonder if that hostess had something to do with that. This is very bad.

Good Food and friendly Servers.

Good restaurant. Nice views of the bay

Have been many times. Excellent view of Vancouver, beautiful at night. Food is very tasty. Relaxed place. Prices are middle of the road. Service Excellent. I recomend this place

Great for applied and amazing waterfront & Vancouver City Views! And might see the seals too!

This is the fifth work dinner I have attended at pier 1. The service is consistently terrible! I asked for my steak to be cooked medium rare, and it arrived overdone, meat was grey. They took it back to get me a new one. When it had not arrived after 20 minutes (and the rest at the table had completed their meals) I tried to cancel the order. A woman came out with a plate, and basically told me I had to take it (work dinner did not want to make a scene). It was once again grey meat. The only item that is consistently good is the seafood tower. If you have to go, order that. This is the first time I have actually felt compelled to leave a bad review for any experience. But I can honestly say they consistently provide the worst service. Actually, common knowledge spoke about at our table. The view is fantastic! Go for a cocktail and a seafood tower and enjoy the view. Do not expect good service

My new favorite restaurant. Surf and turf was excellent, best calamari Ive ever had

Enjoyed our dinner, atmosphere was great, got the view of the water and downtown Vancouver, appertiser/entree and dessert are delicious

Awesome location with a lovely view of DT Vancouver. Food was tasty and service was solid. A great choice.

Well first the view is hands down the staple of this place. Our service was amazing and timed perfectly! Unfortunately, as my 3rd time returning here, the food has definitely fell off. The muscles had zero flavor, the mains were average. The fries with my fish and chips were amazing but I dont go to a high end seafood resteraunts next to the ocean for French fries.

Was nicely accommodated for gluten free food. Good service and good food. Highly recommended for people who eat gluten free food.

Food wasn t very good. They were sold out of several of the items we tried to order. Regardless the server was great and the atmosphere was very inviting.

Delicious food friendly staff prompt service highly recommended

Magnificent restaurant with a beautiful view, especially at night. Excellent cuisine and impeccable service. I can only recommend.

It was disappointing unfortunately. I ordered my steak medium but it was well done. The server never came back to ask how the meal was before we were done. I ordered steak frites but I didnt finish the steak, fries or salad. The salad was not bad actually. Our server was quite emotionless. I would have preferred to be served by a robot. The price was reasonably affordable, but I would not go back.

Great food. Amazing view. Server was kinda slow but good enough. Just need to ask if I would like a drink with my meal.

This restaurant was one of the first locations we stopped at when visiting BC for the first time. It exceeded our expectations. The service is great, the view of downtown Vancouver is amazing and the food is delicious. Our waitress recommended a few other bars to stop at so we really felt welcomed and excited to explore even more.

If you re staying in North Vancouver, this place is definitely work checking out. The evening views are incredible especially on the patio. Our server Marvin was attentive and friendly, definitely adds to the experience. The ambiance is good and food was really good as well!

Went there for a birthday dinner, party of 11 on the upper floor. Our server was super nice and polite, but she seemed very busy. Drinks were super late as no one was running them, we got an extra appetiser (one server brought it by mistake), all the main courses came together apart from the birthdays guy so we had to wait some extra time to eat together. Other servers helping were just dropping stuff on the table or auctioning the plates like who ordered the .....? Food was good, drinks were good as well and the atmosphere was fine. The lava cake was overcooked instead of runny inside. Not sure if Id come back.

overpriced, bad service and food

It s a great location but deserves a better restaurant. I took my wife here for dessert and cocktails on a rare date night without the kids. The tiramisu was dry and lacked flavour, it was made of cake rather than traditional lady fingers, between the two of us we didn t finish it as it was not great. They were out of a few wines from their list, and their cocktail list was largely derivative, I had a bramble that lacked flavour or punch. Whole thing was too expensive too. Overall I won t be back in a hurry, it s a shame that such a great location is taken up by such lack lustre fare.

I booked Pier 7 for our annual year-end Coordinator Dinner Celebration and it was so disappointing! Our table for eight was outside on their covered, winterized patio that was very drafty and cold. We were all freezing, some having to wear their Winter coats. I was never asked if that outdoor section was acceptable for our dinner celebration when I made the reservation, We all tried to make the best of it and ordered the steak and frites as our main. Only one of us got the steak cooked as ordered. The service was very slow, which contributed to a long, cold evening that was overall, a poor dining experience. My husband and I used to dine there, however, have stopped in the last year due to similar experiences. I thought Id give Pier 7 another chance given their 3-course special menu that was featured for the holidays, but was further disappointed. Its unfortunate but we all made the best of this special evening!

The Calamari appetizer was not crisp but soggy.The Pomodora pasta was so heavily seasoned that it was just plain too hot and tasteless. Strike these off your choices.. Food

Very cool location overlooking downtown Vancouver. The food is good but way too expensive for what it is. The staff were ok but could be better. They were accomodating of my diet restrictions. Overall its a nice place to go once for a nice diner.

The food came out really late. The staff are friendly. The steak was okay. I sprinkled too much salt on the vegetables and it was too salty. The pasta was delicious, but salty. No intention to revisit.

Half price wine on Tuesdays and Wednesdays lol might as well take advantage;)

I ordered sable fish ,got disappointed at its taste too fishy; strangely the chef cooked it with too much liquid left on the plate; I ate similar sable fish at Shaughnessy Restaurant of VanDuson Garden and Seasons of QE Park; they were quite delicious; kindly suggest the chef goes to learn how they cook sable fish for future customers good sake.

Excellet food and service. Pier 7 has really improved since the last time I was there ( a few yesrs ago). The menue and the quality of the food is very good. The view is just amazing. Highly recommend trying it out. Also, I think google is showing the price range wrong. Its a $$ restaurant not a $$$. The price range is close to cactus club and earls.

Oceanfront dining? Or oceanfront lacking? This restaurant popped up on my screen quite often for now especially when I search restaurants in North Vancouver. And the name reminded me of Pier 39 when I was down in San Francisco, nice place back then. This place is located along the Lonsdale Quay along with other restaurants and of course the market itself, paid parking is available everywhere. The restaurant itself has 2 levels and a sectioned off patio, good to have choices. Inside is quite clean and spacious which makes dining comfortable. It wasn t busy when I visited during the late lunch hours, just me and another table of aunties inside and a couple of tables of families out in the patio. Here were the food I ordered; 1. Seafood chowder. It could easily mistaken for just a potato chowder, lack of seafood or ingredients and it was lukewarm?? 2. Mussels with white wine and butter. A couple of them were okay but most of them were the size of dried up raisins. Honestly, not just this place but all restaurants should really stop serving them shivered up mussels, they belong in an old picture frame not on the dinner table. Proper mussels are plump and juicy!!! 3. Pier 7 Signature tower. When this arrived at the table, it confused me for a second cause I didn t know if I ordered a seafood tower or a grapes platter. It came with a poached chick lobster in halves, a small 1.5lb dungeoness crab more shells then meat, fresh oysters, chilled clams and mussels, candied salmon bites, etc and of course a lot of grapes. This seafood tower was as exciting as a deflated rubber ducky floating around the quay. With the abundance of grapes, now if someone were hand feeding them to me, it would ve been a whole different story, would definitely score full points. Not really impressive for $150. Overall, the atmosphere was quite casual and comfortable. Perhaps a little too comfortable as during most of the time, it was hard to wave down our server or anyone in general. The food also took quite a long time to come out when it wasn t even busy; between soup and mussels 20min wait, between mussels and seafood tower 45mins wait. Nevertheless, given where this place is located, the interior layout and atmosphere, it does have a lot of promising potential if certain things are fine tuned and bit. Unfortunately a 1 star is fair for this experience when it s lacking.

Update on my original review, the food and service has dramatically improved over the last couple years- well done Pier 7! The view...the best at lonsdale quay in my option.

Come here for the views... But thats about it. Great location for views of Vancouver skyline, and the view of the food (looks pretty good)... We ordered the clams, mussels, fries and truffle fries, Caesar, salmon burger, fried chicken waffles, clam chowder and calamari. Clams and mussels were good. Noth fries were fairly bland and unseasoned? Caesar was basic standard fair. My parents said the salmon was good. Fried chicken and waffles... Well, lets just say we took one bite of the chicken and left it - also bland (maybe ran out of salt?) and soggy, just like the waffles. Um, no comment if the clam chowder and calamari, since they never came. The server seemed fairly busy and all over the place, but barely had much attention to our table. Glad we checked the bill to make sure to take off the clam chowder we never received. All and all, just skip this place.

It is one of my favorite restaurants in the Vancouver/ North Vancouver area. We ordered the Pier 7 Signature Tower for sharing and were not disappointed. Bring your wallet Food : 5/5

Everything was exceptional, service, atmosphere, location and especially unbelievable view of Vancouver

Excellent fish and chips with a beautiful view.

Another one bites the dust!! Weve been here many times and have highly recommended Pier 7 to family and friends but our last visit changed all that. We usually order the filet mignon with lobster tail, but this time we did not realize they swapped out a few words and it is actually beef tenderloin instead of filet mignon and poached lobster bits instead of the tail. For those who dont know...all filets are tenderloins but not all tenderloins are filets. The whole lobster tail has been swapped with a few butter poached lobster pieces....looking more like craw fish and not lobster. A better description of the plate would be Mashed potatoes (the dominant food on the plate) served with roast beef. Weve had steak at many fine & casual dining establishments and it has never been served with butchers twine still wrapped around it. Perhaps the restaurant is under new management. Consider yourself warned. We would not go back even if offered a free meal.

Beautiful view, professional service, delicious food

Poor experience!!!! Had a reservation, arrived at the place on time, we were been pushed by the hosted to seat at the patio w/ 4 degrees outside, with tables available inside. The food took literally 1 HOUR to arrive!!!! 1 HOUR!!! Recurrent experience at this place! Not worthy to come back.

We sat on the heated patio for a beer. It wasnt too loud which was nice because we could carry conversation.

The food was absolutely awesome. Service was outstanding, appetizer and main course was spaced out nicely, and our waitress was not at all pushy or rushed us. I gave the atmosphere a 4/5 only because it was way to warm in the restaurant Dietary restrictions: We were asked up front if there were any dietary restrictions or allergies that required accommodating.

We had a private business dinner here and I cant say enough good things. The venue and view, absolutely fabulous. The dinner was delicious and the staff was excellent. I will be recommending this for our future events!

Ive been here before with friends and food was good but this time was my last time there. I know how hard it is to work in a restaurant - Ive worked decades in customer service industry. They had plenty of servers. having arrived relatively early & wasnt busy I was quite surprised & disappointed at being ignored after they gave me my beer. It took awhile to get my order taken. A bit insulting after the tables next to me got their orders before me. I had done the dine out menu and honestly wasnt worth at all the $50. 4-5 prawns as a starter was hilarious. Steak was lukewarm but the fries were hot. Its a shame pier 7 has declined dramatically. The dessert was the skinniest stingiest slice of cheesecake ever. Im not asking or expecting a lot but I shouldve gone to Taphouse and gotten much better for same price.

Excellent service and food

Great view of the water. Clams were good. Prime beef cheeseburger was tasty. Just felt a bit chintzy when we arrived at 5:20 and server did not take our order until after 5:30. End of happy hour. No biggie since we were already there and hungry.

What an absolute gem on the North Shore. The food was incredibly good: near-perfectly done fish and chips, and the seafood chowder was flawless. Excellent service and a great atmosphere. Definitely coming back. Dietary restrictions: My partner said the gluten free burger bun was one of the best he s had.
