    Seared Ahi Tuna
    Raphael V.

    I started with the Superfood House Salad which was described by the server as being a Kale Salad with other ingredients. Which somewhat matches the menu description. From the description and the menu, I was expecting a Kale salad with other ingredients mixed in. What I received was more akin to a protein salad with a smattering of kale mixed in. Very disappointed in the salad. Wife had the prawn Mac with lobster. Portion was sizable, lobster was salty. Prawns were nicely done. Seared Ahi Tuna entree was good. No complaints from the other diners-Trout was good, Steaks were good. Salmon was good. Moderately noisy but comfortable.

    The food, view, atmosphere and service are really spot on. Everytime! I love that they have seasonal special flairs! The setting is right on the Columbia River! I've NEVER been disappointed by any meal I've ever had at Wild Fin/Waterfront. I Just wish they weren't so pricey.

    It was our first time eating here & it was lovely. The staff were all very kind and attentive. They sat us by the window for the best view for our anniversary. We ordered the two dishes that were featured as their special along with cocktails and their potato bread that were not pictured, my bad. Everything was exceptional.

    Brie Appatizer Plate

    Popped in for a Monday lunch and was seated quickly, not busy at all. Wanted to sit outside as there were already people outside but they said they couldn't put anymore outside as they didnt have a server and it was the bartender serving them. Kind of a bummer as it was a really nice day. As for the food we got an appetizer of the brie plate. The cheese, bread and other pairings were really yummy! Highly recommend! For my main dish I got the lunch special of a half smoked turkey sandwich and seafood chowder. Both were really yummy. The server was friendly and attentive. Overall a good experience, just a bummer about not being able to be seated outside when others were.

    The menu was extensive, offering mini fish choices, but also plenty of beef for those who might not care for seafood. The happy hour menu has some great deals, but please know this menu is only offered in the bar. If you get there early enough (4:30-5:30) they offer an Early Dinner menu in the dining room that is a great value (includes a starter, an entree and dessert from a limited menu, all for $35.) I had the sockeye salmon which came with broccolini, fingerling potatoes, and a few other vegetables and was delicious. My companion ordered the Dover sole, which was a very large portion and came with risotto. She enjoyed her meal as well. I had the shrimp appetizer and my companion ordered the bread which came with two different butters, a savory, and a sweet. Both were really good choices. We both were quite full, so we ordered the donuts as our dessert as we thought those could most easily be warmed and enjoyed later. They were delightful. Our server, David, knew the menu very well, including the wine offerings, and was helpful in our selection process. He was friendly and efficient. This restaurant is very modern and clean as well as comfortable. It sits right on the Columbia River so the views are amazing.

    Atmosphere: Nice, upscale yet not stuffy atmosphere with some outdoor waterfront dining options as well. Food: We loved the food. Parmesan Crusted Sole was probably my favorite. Price: It's upscale, but reasonable for the portion size. Service: Service is hit and miss. Some servers were great, others not so great. Parking: Street parking

    Food was so delicious! We got the appetizer tower on happy hour, which was a great deal and amazing way to try several appetizers. Portions were a filling size and we left happy and satisfied. The service was super nice and attentive. Restaurant is open air and the bar area is inside and outside.

    Food was great! Hubby's steak was the best part. The sauce that came on it was trully phenomenal! Sushi and Prickly Pear cocktail were also very good! My sandwich was pretty dry (mostly the bread) and lacked a lot of flavor, so thankfully I had a salty au jus dip. Not sure if it's always like that or if mine happened to be a one off, but everything else was super great! Service was also very good! She checked in on us regularly. I appreciate that this place can support large groups or small tables with the dividers they had between tables. I will definetly come back when I find myself in the area.

    Cute restaurant along the river. I didn't have a problem with our waiter .. they were busy and they didn't bring our food to us all at one time. I had a huge portion and it was delicious!

    Had a fantastic little snack and cocktail at Wild Fin!! Enjoyed the Tower- with the Crispy Rice, Calamari and Garlic Shrimp!! It was just perfect!! The seafood was delicious- our favorite was the shrimp! The service was helpful, friendly and prompt! The view of the Columbia River is spectacular and it's great for people watching- so, nice to see folks enjoying the nice weather!! Will definitely return my next visit!!

    King Salmon

    We came to WildFin American Grill for dinner. We went to enjoy a seafood meal by the Columbia River. The hostess -Keira was friendly and accommodating with our request. The parking is street parking and plenty of seating indoors or outdoors. James and Keenan were exceptionally friendly. Throughout our meal experience they were aware of our needs. Our meal was delicious. The appetizer was flavorful and the salmon was perfectly cooked. The seasonal dessert was phenomenal. Kudos to all! Enjoy! We will be back.

    Cups were dirty, dirty plates out for hours, fish wasn't fresh and the rice tased like oil for some reason

    WildFin is a solid restaurant option on the waterfront. I came for their happy hour on a Saturday and despite it being very busy my friend and I were seated quickly outside near the bar. I ordered the blueberry basil lemonade and found it to be perfectly refreshing and not too sweet or tart. For the main event, we got the seafood tower for only $20.95. The shrimp was delicious, but the clear star was the ahi tuna crispy rice bites. The calamari came with a jalapeño aioli, which was a nice addition, however, some pieces of the calamari were a bit thick for my liking.

    Great ambiance, as well as great food, alongside of the Columbian River. Started with some kind of fondue and ordered their seasonal salmon.

Bright, lively, good music, FANTASTIC food, EXCELLENT drinks, fun servers... yassss kweeen! We happened upon Coral Club at the recommendation of a friend about a year ago. We popped in for a quick snack but ended up staying for dinner. Their drink game is on point. I can't even remember everything we ordered but the answer to a drink is, of course, yes! Their food is solid. We've done the Shrimp Skewer, Lumpia, Coral Platter, and Lava Fries. They were DELISH! My gang tried the Spam Musubi... I wasn't brave enough, but they loved it! When the good ole PNW gets you down, give it a try. When the outside is grey and gloomy with just weeks of rain ahead, this place will put you in a perfect little happy Hawaiian mood!

We wanted a drink and bite before thrifting and going to the book store. One other couple was inside. Waiter was nice but not hospitable. The ambiance is amazing - 10/10 love the vibe and decor. I ordered a drink of the mixed drinks and my husband got a margarita. The drink was so bad - neither one of us could drink it. I don't think I've ever returned a drink I can't pound before haha. It was 10 minutes before I went home to the bar to ask for something different - no one came by to ask how things were. The guava choice I picked for the second - not good. Watered down flavors of who knows. The drinks at Wahi Hanna are amazing in comparison - especially with the Dole Whip vibe. The spam fries were $9 for half a can of spam cut up and put in the oven with a side of mayo? The loco moco was promising but tasted like something you'd get at Kenjis - not a Hawaiian spot. I feel like with a lot of tweaks in flavor - this could be a great spot.

    Took a coworker out for lunch and found this place through Yelp. We arrived shortly after opening,…read moreso the restaurant was quiet and the staff was very friendly and attentive. My biggest disappointment was finding out that the two items that caught my attention on Yelp--the brisket mac and cheese and the tacos--were only available during happy hour. I even offered to pay the regular menu price for either item, but was told I'd have to come back during happy hour if I wanted to order them. Instead, I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. The pulled pork sandwich was decent, but the flavor felt a little flat and could have used more seasoning. I was also surprised there wasn't any salt and pepper on the table, so if that's something you like, be sure to ask for it. Overall, the food was good and the service was good. While I enjoyed the experience, it's probably not a place I'd go out of my way to visit again, though I'd stop in if I was already in the area.

The area has developed quickly and having grown up nearby and moved away years ago, it's amazing to see what's happened along here. Prices - well, everyone has their hand out along here. We were in town somewhat last minute staying at Hotel Indigo. The hotel provides $10 drink coupons so we decided to drop in for an impromptu drink while planning our dinner strategy. It was already 7p so no view but live music and a nice buzzy ambiance. Wait staff were fast and friendly, and before we knew it two delicious cocktails were in front of us. At the same time, I overheard the waitress at the table beside us saying that food could be ordered from El Gaucho downstairs. So we asked for a menu and started perusing. If you don't know El Gaucho it's a classic steak restaurant with lots of cuts and sizes, a sprinkling of seafood, the usual salads, and tableside this and that. A notch above Ruth's Chris, Morton's or The Capital Grille but with Peter Luger Manhattan prices. Yes, that's right, Manhattan prices in Vancouver. WA. The Couv is all grown up. Or at least trying to be, Like Witness Tree, El Gaucho has a mandatory 20% gratuity regardless of party size. Theoretically this shouldn't be an issue if you know restaurant culture and tip appropriately but I think a mandatory fee rubs many wrong to assume service will always be at that level. And on top of very high prices. A $72 6oz filet is $86, so those 8 bites better be damn good. That said, we ordered oysters, a filet, seafood pasta, and wine. The wine list was decent but not as extensive for a premium steak restaurant. Wines had the typical markup which meant $20-35+ per glass. Both the pasta and steak were good but - and this may sound picky - at $72 for 6 ounces of steak (a bar of soap) I expect perfection which means medium rare throughout. The steak was medium in some parts. If I can achieve medium rare throughout at home it should be possible here. So here's the math (rounded) for those interested. Total bill: $295. $225 food and drinks, $45 service fee (mandatory 20%), and $24 tax (8.8%). Interestingly, the 20% service charge is taxed which means we actually paid $49 or 28.8%. Had I been given the choice of my own 20% tip it would be applied to food and drink and a slightly lower bill. Not a huge deal but these are the little details - call it "nickel and diming" patrons - that rub many wrong. One note - another server came to our table before our food arrived and placed a steak in front of me. Before he could place the other dish I told him it wasn't our order. He picked up the steak and delivered to another table. In most restaurants - and certainly in a premium setting - that dish should have been remade. Whether perception or simple hygiene you simply can't do that. All in all, the Witness Tree was a nice spot, with tasty cocktails and ambiance. Prices and service fee will be off putting for some, and not sure this would be my go-to as there are many rooftop / view options nearby.
