    I had recently received a gift card to Steveston Seafood House, and decided to use it for a weekend…read morebrunch/lunch. We arrived in time for our reservation but there was no one at the front. We waited for a few minutes for someone to notice we were there, and were immediately seated. It's a nice looking place - very classic whites, and feels like a fine dining restaurant. We decided to try the following: - Beef Carpaccio: Good. Maybe a bit light on the meat, as it was buried by the arugula and pickled shallots, so seemed unbalanced, but overall tasted great - Seafood Linguini: Mixed. Linguini was good. Scallops were really good and tender. Mussels were tiny. Red snapper was tough and dry. As a dish, it was OK, but could be better. Seafood is seasonal, so I'd think they would be better off rotating what seafood is used. - LuLu Island: OK. Same issue as the linguine. Prawns were fine. Mussels tiny. Red snapper wasn't enjoyable. Broth had flavour, but didn't come out very hot. Service was pleasant but slow. I only saw one server and one busser, so not enough staff to handle 6 or 7 tables they had. Starter came n reasonable time, but main dishes seemed to take over 20min. Took awhile to get our plates cleared, and probably 15+ minutes to get the bill. Overall, it was OK. Food was OK, but not special. Service was nice enough, but couldn't keep up with timing. Glad I got to try it, but not special enough to go back.

We tried four different fish (sablefish, halibut, salmon, and char) and each was cooked really well with slight variations that made them stand out. Oysters were a nice bonus at $1.50 each with entrées. Service was excellent--our waiter kept things light with jokes and even brought me dessert when he found out it was my birthday. Overall, a solid seafood dinner and good value.

    Look no further than here for super fresh seafood and house made drinks…read more I read about fisherman Frank's story a couple of weeks ago and how the food truck came to be. I like supporting local businesses and food is an easy way to do that since we need to eat. It was closed the first time I went. Good thing the hours were posted on the food truck. So I came back again and got to try the special. Grilled snapper with Greek and orzo salad. The snapper was so fresh. It was sweet and tender. The Greek salad was also good, no limp-looking vegs. Crunchy and juicy cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes. The tomato was bursting with juice every time I stabbed it with the fork. I gave up and just popped it into my mouth. Yums. The street corn was also sweet and juicy with a bit of char. Love the toppings on it. There was a promo for street corn and drink ($8). I had the ginger citrus iced tea. The iced tea was lightly sweetened and I found it just right for my taste. The ginger and citrus flavor was very subtle, not overpowering. I like that they made it in house. None of those powder or box tea. I will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu. Friendly staff too. Prices are a bit on the high side for a food truck but the quality justified it. Nothing worse than paying more for mediocre food.

    Decided to stop in after an apt we had in steveston. We were greeted and seated right away and…read morenoticed the live band playing upon entry. There was a pleasant fun vibe with the music and there were a couple visibly happy patrons at some tables we were seated near. The server was very nice and patient as we took awhile looking at the menu figuring out what to order. We decided on an order of calamari appy. An order of warm seafood salad for wifey, 2pc halibut and chips for me and we shared an order of tom yum goon soup from the Thai section. Everything was tasty, fresh and perfectly cooked. The calamari had a nice crisp, well cooked and had a nice tzatziki dip. The fish was perfectly cooked and portion size was wonderful. I got a nice mouth full of fish each bite and the batter was not overly thick. The Thai soup was flavourful and had decent amount of mushroom and shrimp within. I did notice a slight sweetness more than usual when I've had this soup elsewhere but it was still very flavourful and delicious. Just making it a different rendition of a classic. The seafood in the seafood salad was Bountiful and the salad portion decent as well as fresh. Imo for a chef to pull off wonderful cook and flavor of different styles within the same establishment is a thumbs up to their craft. Wifey and I enjoyed the meal and I would eat there again.

    Memorable place to visit on the nights they have live band and fun place for happy hour. Their…read morelive music will bring smiles to everyone at your table and put them in good spirits! Service was nice and warm, deserving of the 20% tips. Food-wise, I would recommend trying one of their Thai dishes to see if it's to your liking because the chef makes authentic Thai foods. Feel free to order fish and chips since that's a classic item to order. One can visit at the end of happy hour then stay longer for the evening live music if you are just chilling out in Steveston. Note: Parking lot out front is not free even though it's right in front of the restaurant. Check the road signs for free parking spots on the curb.

    We went for dinner and ordered a several dishes. Sadly, I don't feel they hit the mark with the…read morefusion dishes. Mushroom soup: not much flavour and a few leathery fried mushrooms at the bottom Yam salad with kale and barley: was fresh and colourful but needed some acid to liven it up. After four bites I got bored. Rice balls: golden brown and bite size with a side of tomato sauce with shredded onions and carrots. Rice was overcooked and mushy. Tomato with pancetta spaghetti: here is where the fusion aspect misses because I didn't like cured ham flavour of the pancetta. Service was good, very quick. Ambiance is clean but I was also close a woman with too much perfume and every time the door opened that cloying smell overwhelmed me.

    After looking at the great reviews we decided to give it a try. We made reservations for 730pm but…read morewhen we arrived, we realized it was not necessary. The restaurant was clean, well set up, and nicely lighted. The service was great. Our server was friendly, and the food came out quickly. Now into the food: Honey Garlic Chicken Wings 2.5/5. They were ok but nothing special. I feel like I could have similar wings buying it frozen from the grocery store and at $2.50/wing. I cant justify that. Seafood Pasta 3/5. For something that was almost $30 I expected more. The amount and size of seafood was fine but I had expected more flavour like grilled prawns or seared scallops. Seems like it was all poached so there was no colour and everything was the same texture, colour, and flavour. It was cooked well and tender, but for the price, I would have liked some crust on my scallops and I could not taste the lobster in the sauce. Overall, it was seasoned well and still tasted good. Calabrese Salami Pizza 3.5/5 Crust was crispy and thin. Good amount of salami. Could have used more olives. The oven made the salami nicely crisp on the edges. However, there was no basil as noted on the menu. Just a little bit of basil oil drizzled on the center. Overall, if you want a comfortable place to sit and catch up with friends, this is a good place for it. The food while okay, could use some improvement.
