I have been a long time customer of DHOC. We love our oysters! The highlight of the dinner was to have Adam from DHOC set up am oyster bar at the party. It was the focal point of the dinner and a tremendous hit with our guests. Adam served, cooked and shucked raw oysters. They were all fantastic! I cannot say enough about how fun it was to DHOC at this party. We will definitely have them back again this summer. If you are hosting a party, add oysters to menu! They are the difference between a simple party vs. a fun culinary experience for your family and friends. Our friends are still contacting us to rave about the oyster bar! Thank you, Adam, for making this dinner extra special! We appreciate your hard work and excellent service! I wish I had pictures to share but I forgot to take them!

I appreciated being able to sample the dressing before ordering as I would not want the taste of anchovies to be too strong. The grilled sourdough bread was a nice finish to the salad.

I enjoyed the kolsch and hubby the amber. We enjoyed eating outside on a warm, sunny day.

Had reservations for dinner Wednesday night and arrived early to enjoy happy hour before sitting…read more We were seated right away and informed that we could order happy hour anywhere in the restaurant which was pretty cool. The happy hour menu offered a few drink specials along with starters. The food listed was regular price, while a handful of their cocktails were discounted a few dollars. We decided to forgo happy hour and skip straight to dinner since. We started with the Dirty Jane and Hotel Georgia from the bar. We both really enjoyed the Hotel Georgia. The orange blossom water gave it a delightful flavor that danced across my tongue and left me eager to taste more. The Dirty Jane wasn't quite our flavor palate, but worth a try for its uniqueness. After receiving our drinks Lauren took our dinner order. We started with the frites and beet salad. The beet salad was beautiful and much larger than we anticipated with beautiful slices of beet, pickled shaved carrots, and whipped goat cheese balls. The frites were crisp and golden on the outside and soft on the inside. Shaved Parmesan cheese blanked the frites and a miso dipping sauce added dipable flavor. From there we each ordered the fall prix fixe menu which boasted a starter, a main dish, and a desert for $39.00 which was a total steal! There was also the option to add a wine paring onto the meal for $39.90. They were mainly white whines so I skipped the pairing and opted for a second cocktail. My prize fixe started out with the albacore tuna that arrived seared with a kimchi vegetable display on top. It was unique, flavorful, and fun! For dinner I enjoyed the pad Thai while my husband had the New York steak. He thoroughly enjoyed his meat, vegetables, and potatoes even saying that the outer was the best tasting baby food he's ever had. He nearly licked the plate! The pad Thai was unique- I wouldn't say it was a typical pad Thai dish for me it my husband who has spent a lot of time in Thailand, but it was flavorful and yummy. For desert we each had the vanilla gelato. It as another very unique dish that sent my tastebuds into a frenzy as they worked to piece the flavors together. Vanilla gelato was topped with a chunk of chocolate, sea salt, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. It was a fun ending. Wrapping up our meals my husband ordered the high mountain woody which was probably the best drink of the four we tried. Very unique and fun! I ended my night with the full Nelson which was delicious but a tad bitter. It does have whiskey bitters in it, which I appreciate just didn't overly love. Overall we enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back to try more items from the menu. The restaurant was not very crowded, but might fill more on the weekend. If you are in the neighborhood I highly recommend stopping by to give your tastebuds a treat! Parking is in the lot beside the restaurant or on the street. After dinner you can mosey a street over to peruse the darling main street shops.

We felt like the presentation on the main dish, seared tuna could have been better, a bit more colour maybe. Saying that, the tuna was very nice. We found the music kind of out of step with the higher end menu. We had two different desserts and both were excellent. The tea selection was very limited, a nice black tea would be an added improvement. Overall, yes we will go again and would recommend it to our friends.

Being treated to Chuckanut Manor is starting to be a tradition for me. This is my second time to…read morethis wonderful place. The first was my birthday last year, chosen by a friend (I'd never heard of it). This year I was asked where I wanted to go. I did not hesitate to say here! I couldn't be anything other than delighted in my decision--from the pleasantness inside, the wonderful view from our window, the delightful staff and the incredible food and drinks, this place is wonderful. Lucky me that my birthday was on a Wednesday so I could be totally influenced to have oysters-on-the-half shell due to a generous Wednesday night special. I do love raw oysters--and these were so tiny and briny and so incredibly good, I could have eaten five dozen! (I am kicking myself for not finding out what kind they were, but no matter. I would be happy with any they are serving here, I am sure.) I had already planned on having the Oysters Rockefeller (known here as Manor Rockefeller), and so, despite having just downed some oysters, I went ahead anyway and am glad I did! They were wonderful. And there was no real reason for me to pause for a moment in my decision, having already had oysters, because these were soooooo different. It was almost like eating a delicious oyster casserole in a shell. The Mediterranean Mussels were wonderful! (Notice, I was having a dinner of appetizers...) The broth they came in was beautiful (and drinkable, if one were so inclined). I loved the surprising tastiness of the Mama Lil's Peppers swimming around in it. At first I wondered if they would be too hot and compete with the flavor--overwhelming it--but no! Not at all. They were a perfect and flavorful touch. Absolutely wonderful. (And having said that, I know that "pepper heat" is an individual thing--I can tolerate a goodly amount, fyi--I just didn't taste these as hot at all.) Our server, Drew, was immensely helpful (and always charming!) He paired our food with a delicious wine. I guess we would assign my bowl of clam chowder to the dessert category--very thick and creamy--along with a lovely after-dinner cocktail, made by the wonderful and delightful bartender, Sherry. She made me a lovely mocktail to start--I asked Drew to have the bartender just make something up on a whim. It was pretty, colorful and delish with what in it, I have no idea. But, not only was it delectable, it was a vision! All festive and fuchsia, with a "bartender's cherry," and a hot pink umbrella. When I learned Sherry made it, I was so happy because I remembered her from last year--very skilled and very fun to chat with. A wonderful birthday--I highly recommend the Manor.

The food we tried today tasted good and hit the spot!…read more I ordered the Alaskan Halibut Fish & Chips that came with a side of toasted cumin coleslaw. It was delicious, but for the smaller portions of fish, I felt it was a bit overpriced compared to other fish and chips I've had for cheaper and with larger portions of fish. My friend ordered the Ground Chuck Cheeseburger with Bacon and Fries. It was juicy and a filling choice. The main draw of this restaurant is definitely the amazing views that almost everyone reviewing this restaurant mentions. Plus, the fact that there really aren't a lot of restaurants to choose from in this area. I think the next time I dine here I would try to time it during their Happy Hour or Brunch, which they claim is "the best".

You have probably never turned in off the highway at Britannia Beach when headed up to Squamish or…read moreWhistler. Now, there is a GOOD reason to pop in on your way up or down (or both!) There is a whole new development with ice cream, bakery, and 3 or 4 eating establishments, all perched overlooking the ocean and the mine museum. We wandered in, and were seated right away, lots of room (it is sort of at the back of the new village area, so you'll pass by 2 or 3 competing options for food first! And it just opened on Thursday - we knew we were lucky! First, the view. The restaurant is perched looking over the highway (or Autostrada in Italian) for an amazing view of the sparkling ocean AND the towering mine museum, freshly renovated and looking good! Plus there are a few mountains scattered around, it IS BC, after all! Second, the fish burger. They have an oyster bar right as you come to the front door, they do seafood towers, it is THAT kind of a place! (On the side of the highway, in deserted little Britannia Beach, I know!). The rockfish was done perfectly, in a burger, and Im no chef, but the sauce gave this the best taste of ANY fish burger EVER. I asked for the side Caesar alongside it - and IT was the best Caesar salad EVER - and I used to make them! Something about the really finely grated cheese and slabs of anchovy filets - and the fries looked good too - but the combination was LIFE CHANGING! (thats why I HAD to write a quick review) Third, the bar. Crazy to serve drinks as you are headed down the highway, isn't it? Almost entrapment! OK, so if you could only have one or two drinks, you'd want them to be GOOD drinks! They have great beer and wine selection, but the bartender mixing the drinks is MADE for Pisco Sours and fine cocktails, crafted right in front of you. He mentioned that he had his OWN version of Pisco Sour - and Im going to highly recommend having a cocktail and looking out at the world with a renewed satisfaction. Third, the patio. No lineup - YET! The word will get out! (Right here) High top tables and chairs AND lowered firetables and couches facing out over the ocean, with umbrellas - classic! And beautiful, well done, interesting - check out the rosewood looking art deco couches, lift the cover on the firetable - here comes fall, it WILL come in handy! You COULD lineup in Squamish for a fast food joint. You COULD be 50 deep at a restaurant in Whistler. OR you could turn off the road in Britannia Beach, explore the new village, find the ice cream shop inside the old church - they hail from Ontario, so they KNOW what they are doing! Autostrada hails from Vancouver, you can find an outlet there too. Add in a great bakery, a stroll to the art gallery on the waterfront, a tour of the mine museum - and you'd better leave early because this is going to be a "secret" favorite stop for years to come!

My wife and I were a little apprehensive about trying this restaurant, as there were no reviews on…read moreYelp, and those on Google were less-than-enthusiastic, although looking more in depth, it seems that the negative reviews were all several years old, and things seemingly had improved significantly in recent years. And while there are no shortage of seafood restaurants serving fresh crab on the Steveston waterfront, we wanted to give The Crab King a fair shake. I'm so glad that we did! My wife ordered a King Crab for herself which, after tearing it literally limb-from-limb, eventually declared it to be tied for her favorite boiled crab dish anywhere! High praise coming from such a consummate crustacean connoisseur! For myself and our son, an order of fish and chips, and the grilled chicken sandwich rounded out our order, both of which were crispy, tasty and delicious. Regarding the fish and chips, they appeared to be tempura-battered, and I'm still not 100% sure what type of fish it was. It may have been cod, but it seemed more like catfish, but either way, it was tender, juicy, flaky and delicious. No complaints here! More than anything, though, the employees here went out of their way to make our experience enjoyable. Our toddler son, who is normally extremely well-behaved in restaurants, was having a bit of a fuss here and there. Without prompting, the servers brought us a little radio to play music for him, as well as a couple of toys to play with, one of them being a wind-up truck that they gave to him to take home! He loved it there, and still plays with it at home! They even played peek-a-boo with him from behind the counter, soliciting laughs and giggles, for the better part of 15 minutes! That sort of customer service is nearly impossible to find, and should be praised and cherished wherever it is found! Whatever the past may have held for this restaurant, the Crab King is an entirely new animal now, serving up fresh seafood by uncommonly wonderful employees, in a fantastic floating location. They even offer to cook spot prawns and other seafood purchased from the boats docked at the nearby waterfront marketplace, for a modest fee. With all these things going for it, there's no doubt who wears the crown of Crab King in Steveston Harbor!
