Washington Avenue Grill in White Rock

Our Christmas party at Washington Avenue Grill in White Rock, BC, was an unforgettable experience, and not just because of the amazing food and top-notch service. There was a power outage right before our event, and we were worried it might force us to reschedule or find another venue. But the incredible team at WAG went above and beyond, setting up generators to ensure everything went smoothly. Not a single beat was skipped! The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about making our evening special. Thank you to the entire WAG team for going the extra mile and making us feel so valued. You turned what could have been a stressful situation into a flawless celebration. Highly recommend this place to anyone planning a special event! Thank you from your new friends at Langley Subaru.

Unfortunately the parking lot was full, but there was a paid parking area, that was not accessible, it would not let us through, it took our money but did not lift the gate. We needed up parking on the street. The outside of the building is not worth mentioning as it s not extraordinary, do not let that fool you!! When you walk up the step two large white columns that slightly resemble the white house forefront. You reach out to a large black ornamented door, and the foyer is like walking back in time to a Victorian era, the chandelier is warm and invites the room with the chaise and old style mirror and a tall statue and a burning ( modern gas fireplace) the oak dark brown wood staircase wraps around to the second floor , the hostess greets and attends to you in a professional manner, the room is bright and cozy and a warm lovely white wooden windows lined up across the floor and boughs of holly and silver decorations and Christmas music fills the air. Chandeliers throughout hanging from the ceiling. All different shapes and sizes and glitter and silver and wrought Iron, mirrors placed in all the right corners of the room. You feel as if you have walked back in time to an era of Victorian style fashion. We went in the evening, but I hear there is a fabulous ocean front view of White Rock Beach. The menu was designed for a Christmas party and the appetizers and Entree and dessert selections were delicious. I had the Tomato Basil Crab Bisque Then I had the prosciutto and Pesto stuffed cheese Chicken with mashed potatoes, and vegetables, for dessert Peanut Butter slice creamy and deliciously sweet. The restroom was clean and compact and well maintained. I love the white marble countertop and the table to put your clutch on while washing your hands. My only suggestion would be to cut a hole in the countertop to dispose the paper towels , so that the customer does not need to look for the wastebasket. Danny was our server and she was professional and friendly and cheerful . I highly, recommend boutique style restaurant. Will definitely go back. $$$ Paid and not paid parking Reservations recommended Website, easy to negotiate. 5 plus stars

i went there last night, i loved the crab bisque

I took 3 of my friends to lunch after I told them how EXCELLENT your fish and chips are!! The fish was DRY and the batter TOO TOO over fried..very difficult to eat! I was EMBARRASSED for myself and your chef!! Did you have a NOVICE in the kitchen last Saturday at noon, Dec. 7th. ALSO, our Server was awfully distracted and made a few mistakes..she seemed to be an employee or manager who has been there for AWHILE, yet her service was horrible!!!! I do not think I will be back to WAG after being a customer for years, unless you can explain what happened that morning with your staff!

The food was ok, not great and the staff was less than welcoming. There is no place to park and its rather noisy

The lobster Ravioli is probably the most delicious thing I ve ever put in my mouth. Friendly staff, great cocktails, and the food is top notch. There is a reason this restaurant has been around for almost 30 years. Do yourself and your tastebuds a favour and head on into the WAG!

Great place to eat with a view!

Aside from the encounter with the waiter who seemed to question our understanding and asked if I had actually paid the bill, the rest of the evening was enjoyable. I understand that not everyone dresses up for a walk, but this experience has led me to decide that I won t be returning to this establishment. While the food was good, I believe I will seek other options in the future due to the way we were treated.

Went here when relatives were in town from out of province. Good selection and all around tasty meals. Brandon was excellent - attentive and genuine, without being overbearing. Beautiful environment to watch the sun go down while enjoying a nice meal. Recommend!

This place reeks like marijuana which kills a lot of what positive vibes this place can garner from good food and service

We had a party of four. My husbands steak was rare, he ordered medium, one persons steelhead was partly uncooked, the lamb looked lovely. I have celiac disease, and phoned ahead to check protocols, I chose a gluten free meal, but sadly was glutened, and will suffer for it. Dietary restrictions: There is a gluten free fryer, please verify that they will be using it if you have celiac disease.

My first time there today and what a pleasant surprise. The steak was amazing. The Chef knows what he is doing. Kudos to the Chef.

Good view, good food, friendly service and decent price

This place is not kids friendly at all. Its ideal for date night only. Its seniors friendly place though. But if youre dining here make sure you whisper. Service is negative 5

Great restaurant with good food

All around great spot. Food. Drinks. Views. Atmosphere. By far mine and my husbands favorite day night spot. Definitely reccomend!

Took my wife out for our Anniversary a month ago or so. Wasnt very happy with the experience. Had reservations, showed up on time. We followed the host to the rear dining room. No decent seats anywhere, so she sat us directly beside the fireplace with absolutely no view. The restaurant used to be one of our favorites but that has now changed. It needs a total reno. I know its a old building, but it is so run down, it was awful. All the moldings and surrounding wood work is a mess. Service was ok and the food was as well, but the ambience and experience was far from ok. Wont be coming back.

We had a big party come here and the service was spectacular. I ve been here before for smaller dinners and lunches and I love the atmosphere and location being right by the beach. Enjoy a sunny day with all the windows or a sunset. Food portions are excellent, drinks are creative and made to perfection. Definitely a staple of White Rock and a must stop in if you re in the area. Thank you to the staff there being so amazing from the booking process to the service inside. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Fantastic birthday dinner for my daughter. Food and service were both great.

Lovely family lunch with friendly servers and beautiful views

Casey is the most amazing server! Us gals were so grateful we sat in her section. She made us feel so welcome & was so knowledgeable about the menu. This is a great place for happy hour with the gals! Casey made the entire night so special!

Excellent food & service. Braised Beef Short Rib as well as the Grilled Ahi Tuna is a favourite. Always a special place to go out for dinner with friends & family.

Amazing resto! Great welcome from gorgeous staff! Excellent menu choice, well prepared presented and served! I love this place! They make you feel good they take care of you so nicely! Thumbs up xxxxx Thank you all thank the management and owner! They really know their jobs specifically the hiring Marc ex executive chef princess cruises, royal Caribbean international four seasons hotels a and Hilton International.

Our last visit here was probably the very last. Something s changed with their food. Everything from starters to mains were not up to par or what we ve seen before. The braised lamb I ordered looked and tasted like it was boiled, there was absolutely zero seasoning, the star of the plate were the glazed carrots that accompany the entree. Salt and pepper were provided when I brought it to the attention of the server. I did not seek any concession but a good restaurant would have done that without prompting.

The gnocchi was so mushy that it was inedible, and was sent back. The wings taken to replace them were so salty as to be inedible. However, at this point, the room was so hot and the service poor that my spouse and I just wanted to escape. Restaurants need to do much better to get my repeat business or a positive rating. Left 15% tip which was not as much as this negative experience left with us. We recommend that people avoid WAG if you are looking for food you can eat.

Loved the food and the atmosphere. The waitress was friendly and hospitable. The ocean view was remarkable.

Great food, great service. Be ready for stairs. Definitely worth the trip.

My husband ordered the chicken entree and he was given the kids meal. When we questioned the server she just said oh. I thought that is what you wanted. She did not offer to replace it with the chicken entree noted on the menu. The dish served to my husband was plain chicken, with broccoli and a lump of white rice, I dont even think a child would want to eat that tasteless meal. What adult would order off the kids menu? We were also charged for the meal that wasnt correct. Ridiculous.

WAG is an absolute gem! The food is great, the drinks are fantastic, and the ambiance is so fun and beachy with beautiful views. The location and parking are easy, making it a convenient spot to visit. The staff are super sweet and attentive, adding to the overall wonderful experience. The place could be a bit cleaner, but it s a minor issue compared to everything else. It s also kid-friendly, which is a big plus for families. I ve been here many times and will continue to frequent this amazing spot. Highly recommend! Kid-friendliness: made to feel comfortable and seen and heard!

This is hands down my favorite place to dine on the beach in White Rock. I love the vintage beachy feel w the added elegant touches of an upscale eatery. Id not been for over a year, and made up for it by going 2x within the last 2 weeks. Both times the food was delicious, fresh, and there was ZERO lacking as for flavors and portions. Once I had the seafood hotpot, it was full of fresh seafood w a flavorful base and perfectly done rice noodles. It was a very satisfying meal, highly recommended. Last night I had the steelhead salad and it was also delicious and well portioned. Light but filled w healthy ingredients, its a perfect summer salad! The staff was quick and very friendly, thanks again to the WAG for a couple more great experiences

Really friendly people at the front desk but its a nightmare for doordash drivers. Wait time is over 20 minutes past the pickup time for my last 3 pickups. Id suggest adding more prep time to prevent a driver stressing his/her mind out. Currently waiting since the last 25 minutes with no ETA on my customers food. My day is ruined!

The service was great, but leisurely. Parking: There was plenty of parking, but it was not well marked. We parked on the street and paid, but there was more parking in the rear. Food : 5/5 |

We used to come here 2-3 times per year and the food was always amazing. Tonight in the other hand was quite disappointing. Cheap ingredients, flavor wasn t great and the fish was grossly fishy tasting. Drinks were also not up to par. I think we ll be crossing this one off the list for good.

My wife and i love this gem....wear light clothing on a hot day and be near window....gets hot in there

This has been hands down one of my favorite restaurants in white rock for many years. Their fish tacos, mixed fish grill, seafood hot pot and their lobster ravioli are always on my rotation. The view is spectacular if you can get a window seat amd the servers and hostess are super friendly !

good food, good beer

The food and service were outstanding! We had our first family reunion in a long time, and the team made it truly memorable. Branden, in particular, provided exceptional service, making our experience even more special.

Had fun celebrating a birthday, got a window seat and looked over the water. Had a seafood chowder and my wife fish and chips.

My waiter was so beautiful and he said happy birthday to me like three times will definitely never forget this birthday ugh (in general all the waiters were friendly!! Nice place, good food)

Stopped for a beer. Sat at table with good views over the water. Service was attentive and polite.

First time going to WAG and I could not be more impressed. Every single server, hostess was so on the ball! Our server I think her name was Becca(?) was lovely , prompt , kind and great communication! The food was fantastic! I am quite snobby when it comes to fish due to growing up with fisherman. Often times the cook is very wrong. Not at the WAG , the aced the cook on the pecan crusted salmon and on the steelhead salmon my friend ordered. It was incredible ! My boyfriend got the short ribs that were a flavour bomb, the mashed potatoes were so good as well. Another got the butternut squash ravioli and the pasta was perfection! Not doughy , or too thick it was perfectly rolled ! The flavour was stunning as well. One of the best parts is how appropriately priced everything was, I didnt feel like there was anything that was overpriced , even the drinks were fantastic and priced accordingly. Truly cannot wait to go back

Brandon was the waiter ... he ruined our experience. The girls and I are regulars. We know this place. I know what the other waiters will do for us regarding tweeking some dishes. I ordered a Prawn and Scallop salad, but requested another dressing. I asked for the Strawberry and Dill dressing, it usually goes on the Steelhead Salmon salad. I specifically requested this change, and the other 5 girls heard me request this, and also to leave off the cranberries. Our orders came, and my salad came as Steelhead salad, not what I ordered. We called the waiter over, told him he g9t my order wrong and please fix this. Instead of doing the right thing, Brandon raised his voice, started banging his hand on a menu, claiming the Strawberry Dill dressing ONLY comes with Steelhead salad. I told him I have ordered this dressing switch many times at the Wag. So Brandon starts raising his voice , basically yelling at me. Manager came over with three free shots. I just wanted the salad I asked for, I left hungry, and quite frankly thinking I may never ever return. Lets go Brandon ! LETS GO BRANDON. I am so disappointed with this experience... I am telling everyone ABOUT IT. I am so so sad that us girls will need to find a new spot. Unbelievably bad service... and Unbelievably horrible correction and attitude from Brandon. I cant believe being YELLED AT by a waiter. Disappointed Donna and friends.

We were a reservation of 8, and we had a mix up over what time our reservation was for. But the host team did amazing at accommodating us and making it happen. From start to finish our server, Kristen, was attentive, personable, and so genuine. Our food was great too. Generous portion sizes for the price! At the end of the day though, it was truly Kristen who made the whole experience so special!

Best fish and chips!!

Highly recommend making reservations first as this is a very busy restaurant. My family of 4 enjoyed an evening meal, loved that all the staff made a fuss over my mothers birthday (I mentioned it when making the online reservations). The food was served hot & delicious. Highly recommend

I have been a WAG fan for well over a decade. I had never had a bad meal there. I hadn t been there for a few years (since pre COVID) because I moved into the valley. Disappointingly, I have to report that my food and beverage experience last night was so bad I don t think I would ever risk giving it another shot. I ordered the braised beef (which I have had before on at least 8 different occasions). It used to come with delicious flash fried french beans and mashed potatoes cooked to perfection. Last night it was served with watery, over cooked carrots and peas (worst than airplane quality) and overcooked watery mashed potatoes (I m not sure they weren t instant potatoes). My husband s burger was only grilled on one side and had no seasoning to the meat. The bun wasn t a brioche (as indicated on the menu) and it was flavorless and unenjoyable. Our son ordered a chicken rice bowl and he did enjoy that, so it must had been good because he was stepping outside his box. We ordered two 9oz glasses of cab franc (at $19 each). It arrived poured into one giant glass, the quality glassware was thick and heavy. Not at all what you expected for a higher end restaurant. The wine was warm because it was stored on the counter all day and there is no air conditioning. It was spoiled, sour and lifeless. Thankfully the server accepted them back and voided the charge. We did get through half our meal waiting for the server to check in on us so we could deal with the wine issue but she never came to see how we were after the food arrived. I had to wave down a busser to grab her for us.

Delicious!!

A long time running beach restaurant. Love this place food is always great Food

food is always 10/10 but limited menu, even more so if youre vegetarian. the view never disappoints but it can get kind of loud in there. ive found that if youre a larger party the staff is cold where as when i was with a smaller party they seemed much friendlier

Wont find a better spot for dinner on white rock beach!

Food was poor quality and staff was useless

Excellent in all areas.

The meal was very delicious! The service is quite good! This restaurant is highly recommended! It is recommended to reserve a seat online first, especially on weekends!

Its the best place to eat in white rock. The view, the food and vibe! Everything was perfect! The staff was very kind too. Trief their gnochhi, thai chicken satay and dried prawns everything was so delicious and fresh! 10/10! Food

I was discriminated by my waitress. She wanted me to leave very fast I was not allowed even to order an entry maybe she thought, based on how I was dressed, that I was not able to pay the bill. The rest of the staff was good.

Great food and service with a wide variety of menu options. We usually get the fish & chips, but this time ordered the trout and lamb shank, both of which were very tasty. A bit noisy in the area overlooking the water, but seated toward the rear was nice and quiet. Good beverage options with tasty craft beer. Parking: Very few complimentary spots and now unfortunately White Rock has made their street parking very pricey ($4.50 per hour seems extreme this far from the main pier area). That of course is not the fault of the restaurant.

The stuffed chicken with mash and veggies. Amazing. It s my new go to chicken meal. Just wish they had it at their sister restaurants in Cloverdale. But worth the drive to White Rock.

Food was great, ocean view, service was excellent

I came here for the cheesecake for my birthday and it was fantastic! I also love how the place looked

Very good service and food

Great place overall! I met up with a group here and it was the perfect spot to have lunch and to visit the White Rock Pier. Our food arrived quickly and was very good - I got the ahi tuna bowl and it tasted very fresh. Our group enjoyed our meals and the cozy vibes of this restaurant.

Great food reservations recommended. Wheelchair accessibility: This restaurant is not wheelchair accessible Food : 4/5 |

Very cool place. Food was good. Server was great but other service like keeping water glass filled at the table etc lacked for a higher end experience. Prices are a little high I think for the quality of the food, but I think youre also paying for the great view, unpariled by any other restaurant as its the only restaurant on the ocean side of the street. Also, if youre wanting to have a deep conversation, or youre bringing people along with hearing issues, for example, elderly people, the acoustics make it very difficult to hear one another. Consider coming on a night that they have live entertainment, often. Theres jazz to listen to on certain nights.

Atmosphere is wonderful the food is pretty good the desert taste good but the portions were a tad bit small the service was friendly but they didnt check in on my table very often and forgot to take someones order. They also didnt listen to food request like for salad dressing to be on the side due to diet restrictions.

Do not go if you are celiac/gluten free We went for Mother s Day and there are so many GF labeled options, but one of my meals came out with gluten on it, one of my items was forgotten and the others were not really gluten free so I couldn t eat them. Ended up with just a small salad, disappointing service and unfortunately the others weren t very happy with their food either. The view of the beach is beautiful, you have to pay for parking but the location is beautiful. Dietary restrictions: Do not go if you are Celiac/Gluten Free

Great place to eat! We enjoyed the view and the cool old school beach house atmosphere! Absolutely loved the wonton crisps!!! Food : 5/5

Food is good, service is good. Had the calamari for appy, husband had lamb shank and i had the braised short ribs. Food was very good and server was great. Very busy and tight inside the restaurant.

Great little restaurant on the beach! Food was so good

Our experience started out rocky on Mothers Day, and we almost decided to leave. However, thanks to our server Danny, the day turned around completely. Danny provided the best service ever and made my mothers day truly special. Her exceptional attention and care turned a potentially disappointing day into an unforgettable one. Thank you, Danny, for making Mothers Day awesome! I would give Danny 5/5 and A+ for Awesome. Parking: Guest parking was convenient, not a lot but we found one spot.

Absolutely awesome place, great food great view, great people

Had a birthday dinner here and it was really nice! I recommend:)

Parking: For some reason, the usual free parking was blocked off. So were forced to use pay parking lot. Food

Finally made it here for the experience. This place had a great live singer who was awesome. The place was a great vibe once I entered it. I brought 7 people along and we all loved our food. The service here was a 10 if I can go to 10. I will be back when we are back in town for sure!

Have always loved this place, we drive from Langley and its worth the drive. 5 star food that is priced extremely fair.

Staff here work very hard to keep everyone happy. Today they did very very well. Much appreciated ! Food was great and the views spectacular. Great spot for lunch with plenty of veggie options. Pricey....but you get what you pay for. Vegetarian options: Lots of choices...fish etc. Parking: Not enough parking and White Rock is going to hit you hard. 9 bucks for 2 hr on street parking. Ouch !

Wow this is an AMAZING run FAMILY restaurant! I want to tip the owners wife $100 for being such great community leaders. Love it so much even the table cloths -thanks folks! See you again

Nice ambiance, good food and service.

We walked in on a Monday night, no reservations and a group of 16. We were seated (after a small temporary table renovation) and served immediately. The server Colton was friendly and personable. We really appreciated the unplanned service we were provided and the food was fantastic!

How many years has this place been knocking it out of the park? Genuine dining destination. All things are amazing here. Their sauce game is on point. Food

wonderful place, great service fun atmosphere good food

One of my favorite places to eat. Nice casual place. Once in a while the kitchen is off but the work hard to fix any mistakes.

Food and service was exceptional. Only complaint was that my burger and garlic fries on a small plate. 1st world problems. Parking: The lot is always busy due to the Cannabis store and limits how many cats can park for restaurant.

Affordable and well-portioned, it s a really good spot for lunch before a nice walk to the Whiterock pier. They have a bright, spacious patio with a view of the ocean and a lot of seating options throughout the restaurant. Vegetarian options: There are a few salad and bowl options available Parking: There s a small lot in front of the building that is usually full. It s situated in front of a large paid lot that s $7 a day during off-season

One of our favourite restaurants for a special occassion - reasonable prices, fabulous food, elegant but cosy atmosphere, great service - just wonderful!

The Staff Were awesome and the food was great

Good food, good service and good view

We dont visit wag very often, but its consistently good food and the atmosphere is always fantastic. The enclosed and heated spaces feel like a patio, you can enjoy a golden sunset or a unique view of a snowstorm comfortably.

Fancy, old-fashioned restaurant plus cozy ambience. The curry hotpot was more like a Singaporean laksa (very nice). My family enjoyed the braised beef as well. The price is reasonable as well (not as high as some of the touristy places on West Beach). Overall highly recommended.

Its a nice restaurant to enjoy. The restaurant feels cozy, and the view is spectacular! My date and I had a reservation for lunch at 2 pm. The restaurant had a few tables occupied, which kept the noise to a minimum. Perfect for me. I decided to try the scallops and prawn salad. $28. My date had the salmon salad. $26 (I think). She really enjoyed her entree, and the portion was large enough to take some home. I had a bite of her salmon, and it truly was delicious. My salad met the approval of my eyes. It looked fresh and delicious. The reason Im rating my entree at 3 in this review is because both the prawns and especially the scallops were a real disappointment. The salad itself may benefit from additional toppings to liven it up. Based on my experience, I dont think Id return. This was my first experience with Washington Grill.

Ill be back cheers

Went with family on a Friday night, the food was cold and the servers were very rude. I would not recommend choosing this restaurant to eat out.

I went here before my massage appointment which happened to be around happy hour. The server recommended the short-rib poutine. It was really good and it was piping hot when it came out. I gave it four stars because the beer was not cold enough. I would have given it 4.5 if I could. The server was awesome and so genuine, she was the manager on shift. I would definitely go back for the poutine and service.

Had a great time here. Food was tasty and will be going back. They even had two gluten free dessert options which was a treat.

Service was fast and friendly and the food arrived quickly and was very good.

This was our first time here, and overall it was a wonderful experience. The staff were super friendly and attentive, they accommodated a car seat and our toddler without even being asked. The food was all fantastic with the exception of the burger, which tasted and had the texture of a store bought frozen patty - not sure this is the case. Every other element of the burger was perfect though, the patty was a real let down. The fries however, may be some of the best fries Ive ever had. I think they are salted and dusted with garlic powder and maybe butter? Delicious. The stuffed chicken and bacon wrapped pork were both superb and were accompanied with some spectacular mashed potatoes. We will definitely be going back, even if its just for the fries. Just an fyi parking is super limited so be prepared to need to walk a bit to get to the location at busier times. Parking: Parking at the restaurant itself is limited, but there is street parking available, however it did not appear to be free

I have visited here a lot of times over the years for celebrations, occasions and just because. Always received great food and service, especially good for me as they have been able to accommodate my gluten intolerance.

Great food and ambiance

I came here with my partner yesterday, and every time I eat here Im in disbelief! The food is always top tier no matter what I have. Its truly a favorite spot of ours. I think its unfair giving it only 5 stars. Id give it 10 if the scale went that high. Because its not just the food thats outstanding. Its also the service. I really cant say enough positive things about Washington avenue grill. This place is just phenomenal in every regard. Beats cactus or browns any day.

The service was exceptional. They took very good care of our large group. The food came out hot and was very delicious.

Their foods and services are impeccable! Definitely recommend

Great place with good service. Food was delicious. Would recommend to anyone. Only issue is finding parking on a weekend evening...its very limited.

-Seated on time -Wasn t able to get window seat but ok -Was very busy -Main issue: waited over an hour for main course after appetizers (and no communication or checkup for main food until we asked) -Service was slow, but because we understand there was other parties 2/5

We always order take out for the beach and it never disappoints!!! Just be sure to ask for cutlery to go ;)

This restaurant is amazing. It was busy on a Tuesday night. Beautiful views, amazing food and excellent service. We had 3 people serve us, we didnt have to wait long. Food is absolutely amazing. I would very very highly recommend. Make reservations, especially in the summer. It was busier than usual on a weekday. Thank you WAG!

Great ambience. Great view. Great food. Great service. Nice staff

Bitterly disappointed, reserved table for a special occasion ( restaurant was aware it was a special celebration) 2 days in advance. Arrived timeously and was seated at table in a corner next to kitchen door. Found hostess very abrupt and quite rude. Indicated to hostess that we were unhappy with the table, explained the special occasion again and was nonchalantly dismissed. There were clearly other tables available but hostess refused to engage with our request. Wouldn t recommend for any special dinner.

A very busy, noisy and liveley place, with a wonderful view. However, our food took over a hour and a half to arrive. When it did arrive it was underwhelming; barely warm and dried out. It was certainly not our servers fault and she tried to apologize. Comped us with two desserts but too little, too late. I wish I had walked out after the first half hour of waiting. Very disappointing to say the least.

We have always loved visiting the WAG. Since we first discovered it - it has been our go to place for anniversaries, birthdays etc. The view is amazing any time of year. Last night we waited close to an hour before a server came to our table. The water was refilled 3 times before someone finally appeared and took our order!! We were so doubtful that if we ordered drinks to start with - it might take another hour to see our waitress to order some food - so we ordered everything in case we never saw her again. Our Waitress came by after the meal and commented that the restaurant was taken by surprise with how busy it was - which I guess was her way of apologizing on behalf of the restaurant. Considering it was a long weekend and the weather was lovely I found it funny that the restaurant didnt anticipate this and have enough staff on hand. Were not going to give up on this restaurant but probably will not come back if service doesnt improve on our next trip.

Fantastic evening! Shout out to Emily, our amazing hostess! Your patience, kindness and professionalism really made our evening memorable! (12 July 2023)

This was my first time here. What a lovely place, nice ocean view, friendly staff and very good food. Try this place out, you will like it

Food was too basic. Charged me 3 dollar more over kid s menu ( I m 17) even though the portion was still the same and the waiter was really rude, unfriendly, and unprofessional towards me and my friends since he was being like that to only us and not the rest of the guests.

This is a great spot! Very good food, service and atmosphere. Also very good value (especially on Wino Wednesdays - 30% off the wine!). Awesome view. One of the most enjoyable meals Ive had in recent memory!

The Caesar salad is unique and fantastic the drinks beautiful and tasty and my steak was absolute perfection

The lack of an elevator or even a simple chair lift was very disappointing, the latter would not cost much and could be done in a heritage building with stairs as wide as theirs. Beyond that, the food was great, staff was friendly and the service was simply amazing. The portion size of the lobster Ravioli was a little small as I was still hungry, but it tasted great. The seating was a little crowded and noisy, but it is a popular restaurant. AC would be nice and may be something they look at as we continue to get warmer.

Very dissapointed in our waiter Nick, forgot my straw, didnt come around much to see how things were. Asked for pictures for my bday took forever to come back and wasnt busy. Gnocchi not bad but buttersquash ravioli small but excellent, should come with bread. Dont do anything for birthday like alot of other restaurants do, that would have been nice a little touch a dessert.

We enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere very much! Although it was a very busy night and our appetizers took a little longer than usual, we had our cocktails and our gracious server Terry-Lynn helped to make the experience much more pleasant.

Over the years so consistently amazing.

Weekends seem to have more competent cooks, meal preparation than weekdays ...inconsistent quality in menu items

Thank you Casey for making our 40th wedding anniversary a wonderful memory! Food and service was as usual fantastic finishing off with the famous Peanut Butter pie

We stopped in with our two kids on a Sunday during a long weekend and we are blown away. The food was great, staff amazing and friendly. They had people in and out efficiency. As it was a super busy day we would love to come back on a slower time of year to enjoy it longer. Thanks for the great experience.

This was my Moms favorite place to go to in the summer so I was in the area and went and had a glass of wine and the fish tacos and felt her smiling down. The food and service here are still as wonderful as ever!!!

Husband had short ribs and said they were excellent. I had fried chicken bowl. Liked that it was brown rice, the chicken was tasty. Each fork full had a different taste. View of the beach in the summer is beautiful. Waitress made me feel rushed the whole time.

We had the best family meal at WAG. The staff was attentive, professional and knowledgeable. The menu offers something for everyone, while remaining unique and sophisticated. If you can get a window-side table at the back, it offers incredible sunsets!

It is a definitely 5 stars restaurant. Our family spent great time there during the sea festival days. Hopefully we can have a beach view table for dinner .

Great food and service,we were a group of 9,was charged automatically 18% for tip wich is OK , I was dissapointed that the tips was on total amount wich included the bill taxes.

Excellent server good atmosphere good food = a great time Vegetarian options: Pretty limited options unfortunately Food : 4/5 |

Not knowing White Rock that well , this place seemed a bit out of the way . However, it was fairly busy for a midweek lunchtime. Food was well cooked and plentiful, but it seemed as though they were compensating for culinary flair with quantity. Lots of seafood though in those dishes.

Sooooo good

Very very underwhelming food and service was extremely unprofessional. This place was also very dirty. Don t waste your time or money

Excellent location with excellent window views. Good food with okay service (one server annoyingly insisted on us having to move something we were reading every single time he brought a dish to the table even though there was obviously a lot of clear space on the table to place them).

Strong cocktails with a great view.

We went for lunch today, ambiance is so amazing beachy with a flair of class, fantastic service, fantastic food and I loved that I went off menu and subbed out an item and it was zero problem. We will be back !

A good place for Sunday morning brunch!

Beautiful view, huge windows, lovely ambiance. Servers were attentive. Small portions for the price but what they lack in cost they make up for in taste. I had one of the most delicious caesar s I ve ever had and I ve had a caesar at every bar or pub I ve ever been to.

Was here recently for a birthday dinner and the food was very good. The servers were great even though you could feel the tension of them being understaffed. Everyone enjoyed themselves, will be back. Food

We went to Washington Avenue Grill for the first time yesterday, for an anniversary dinner and we were so impressed with the food, service and overall atmosphere of this restaurant! Justyna was our server and she also sat us at a table with an ocean view, she made us feel so welcomed and would always check in with us. I highly recommend getting the stuffed chicken, it came with garlic mashed potatoes and veggies and was probably one of the best meals Ive ever had! My boyfriend had the stuffed gnocchi with cajun chicken, also very tasty! We will definitely be coming back here in the near future!

From the exterior look- seems funky and different. Interior look was very dark, warm and cool. There was lots of cool pieces to see while walking in and up the stairs. The hostesses and servers were very cheerful and friendly. They shared the specials, answered questions and great service. The waitress we had always checked in on us, made sure everything was good. The food was delicious and service was very fast for a busy place. The view on the patios are gorgeous we saw the sunset and watch the water. I would recommend this place to everyone!

Any positive reviews are surely fake. SUPER DISAPPOINTED as we did not just walk in off the street - I made my reservation over a month ago requesting a table along the window. Arrived 10 mins early for reservation, to all the window tables occupied. They tried to sit us in the worst possible table in the whole restaurant against the back wall no view whatsoever! I do not & will not play such circus games with you trying to make us sit at a terrible table. This is not the first incident but it is the last - my whole extended family & myself will never go back nor will I EVER recommend this place. There are tons of great restaurants within 5 mins of this circus and they do not try to make us sit at terrible tables. In fact, after we walked out we went and had a wonderful meal down the street - at a lovely table! Dont waste your time/money/effort with these monkeys.

I couldnt even do it justice if I were to share on this place... it was 10 out of 10!!

Food is amazing here so is the service. The Lobster Bisque soup and the Lobster stuffed ravioli was perfect

Tuna poke bowl was delicious; fish was great. Service and atmosphere was lovely.

Everything was great. My wife and I went here for a lunch date. First, we ordered the appetizer calamari. It was amazing, especially the dipping sauce. I just wish the portion was greater considering the price. My wife ordered the seafood penne. Great portions and fish to pasta ratio. I ordered the Washington Avenue burger. Delicious. The bacon is nice and thick, and the sauce is perfect. The server was very attentive and prompt with water refills and ensuring our satisfaction. We plan to return to try other menu items.

Great food , great ambiance, fabulous service by Dani

Funky vibe downstairs, incomparable views upstairs. My meal (seafood tomato bisque and crème caramel) was *outstanding,* plus now I have a long list of dishes that I want to try next.

T.L.C. was amazing, great service and food

The food was amazing and the service was really good. The waitress made a mistake in the order and with out hesitation fix it and gave the table some complimentary appetizers. After dinner we got a complimentary dessert to share as well. The sun set over the water was the cherry on top of the night. Highly recommend & hope to have dinner there again when back in town. Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten-free options.

View of the ocean from every table and has almost a New Orleans-style vibe. The entrees are a good portion size, but I didnt find that the each component of my dish blended together well. Good flavors, though. Nice wine selection with a variety of options and price points, but the thick, clunky wine glasses were a bit disappointing. Unless the chunky glassware is purposeful, they need to be replaced by something more delicate.

Nice ambiance, good food and great service. The views from this restaurant are breathtaking.

Great taste great view

Busy and not inexpensive. Service was good, food descent and nice view over the water.

My wife had a glass with lipstick on it given to her once years ago, but it was a very busy day. The other two or three times since have been great with good food.

First time going and very happy with our experince at WAG. Had the calamari, seafood penne, seafood hotpot, and the seasonal pumpkin cheesecake. Nothing disappointed. Seafood was cooked perfectly and seasoned well but not overpowered. Serving sizes were very reasonable with good amounts of seafood for the price. Service was very friendly but maybe a little slow, but not enough to take a star off for us (took about 2 hours from sitting to leaving with appetizer, main and desert for 3 people). Will definitely return.

Interesting decor in an old house atmosphere. I tried the seafood penne which was excellent and a huge portion. Staff were friendly, attentive and professional and very helpful with the menu items explanation.

Fantastic place for a night out. My wife and I try to bring out of towners here whenever possible. Try the hot pot!

We invited an old friend out for lunch, so I thought to try out the Washington Avenue Grill ( WAG ). Its located on east Marine in White Rock. It has a very small parking lot out front but there is street paid parking and a huge pay parking lot beside it. Its an old building, and when you walk inside, it has a small entrance, but you have to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the restaurant. I dont think its wheel chair accessible. We were greeted immediately and then offered to sit anywhere. We sat in the back so we could have a great view of the water. The bus person was quick to bring us water and the waitress thereafter took our drinks order. The place started to fill up with the lunch crowd, so the noise level was quite loud. The back area wasnt that big because it looked like they closed half of the area off. After ordering our meals, it didnt take too long before we were served. I had the Hoisin braised beef bowl. My wife had crab cakes, and our friend ordered their seafood hotpot. We all really enjoyed our food. Later, the waitress offered the dessert menu, but we were too full. Service here is very good, and the food was awesome. I plan on coming back to try something for dinner.

Very unique entrance and decor, nice vibe in the restaurant and overall great friendly service! Awesome seafood (:

We hosted our staff Christmas party here Dec 08 and enjoyed the 3-course dining menu. Every single dish & drink were done perfectly and our entire crew had a great time! 5/5 for both the kitchen and the serving staff.

I have been there twice. It came highly recommended by an immigration border guard! I went once on my way back from work, and then last night when we took our daughter turning 24 for her birthday. Terry-Lynn was our waiter, and the care was second to none, truly. From the atmosphere and ambience, to the friendly ordering experience, to the food (thank you Chefs!), to the BDAY presentation of the gluten free Chocolate tart, to the attentiveness of water pouring( this is a plus!)- everything was perfect. My daughter raved about the food, and she is a Gen X foodie. I highly highly recommend this restaurant. TOP NOTCH! Thank you WAG! PS Stuffed Chicken PHENOMENAL - so tender and tasty for breast of chicken! Mashed potatoes - yum. Seafood hotpot both daughter and husband had - most yummy. THANK YOU.

View was Great, staff was very nice. Service was not bad. Food was tasty. This second visit was way better than first one.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is only 1 spot, BUT, the sign also says for pick up service. So what is it?? Food

I was there for a work holiday party, the food and service was excellent.

Great food, great atmosphere and view!

We had the seafood hot pot. Best meal Ive ever had. Seafood penne was amazing and the steelhead fish and chips were great. Service was fantastic. Dont remember the server buy shes one of the best Ive ever been served by. Only thing was the pineapple coconut margarita. Too salty and very small for the price.

Never had a bad meal here. Great staff and great food equals great times!
