Reviews of Waterfront Restaurant (Fish Shop)

Carey Pott

Incredibly slow service, mediocre food, absolutely would not come back again. Only good thing about this place is the view, service and food are awful.

S Lam

Ordered for my first meal and time there the Lobster Spaghetti. The service was fantastic, the food was as great as the meal. I really miss the coast and I can't wait to finish work and bring my spouses along as a vacation to the Crest and try out another Waterfront menu item.

Danielle Brousseau

Super tasty, plus friendly service. Had a really great birthday dinner.

M&L LaRochelle

Great place ????

Nikhil Awasthi

Tried there waterfront restaurant which has a very nice view of the ocean. The food was really good and the service was up to the mark as well.

Olga Radzikh

This is the fanciest place in Prince Rupert. The decor and views are very nice, and the food is priced accordingly. I ordered a vegan nourish bowl. It looked amazing, but was basically an overpriced salad. I paid $20 for some veggies, a handful of chickpeas and a whole lot of lettuce. It is sad that this is Crest's idea of vegan food. I wish they added vegan dishes with more substance to the menu.

Willis Crosby

Always good food with a great view.

Matt Good

Was really disappointed. The bathrooms are dirty, and drinks are overpriced given the location. These prices are higher then places like Tofino and whistler with a product that does not reflect the cost. Front of house staff were unprofessional. My review is not intended to ward off local patrons but to warn tourists of the area to support smaller and more local businesses.

Matthew Burke

Beautiful spot in Prince Rupert. Amazing views and great food and drinks.

Paul Rudan

Had two really excellent dinners in the last few days: the aged steak - delicious - and the halibut pictured here. Good service and even better chef staff. Outstanding views. Happily surprised by the quality. Thanks!

darryl franklin

Always friendly staff. Great food. We always stop in for a delicious dinner with a great view.

Kristina Sheridan

Delicious as always !

Barbara Greene

Great view. Good service. Overpriced food.

cody robinson

Horrible service, changed our reservation without telling us, took almost fifteen minutes to bring menus, ordered food and drinks then they forced us to move tables due to overbooking, got our food and had to watch three booths be empty for our entire meal, no quality check in or drink refill, after meal sat for ten minutes waiting for table to be cleared, then had to wait over twenty minutes after all was said and done for someone to bring us the bill, no apologies no attempt to reconcile bad service. I've spent years in the industry as a chef and my Mrs as a professional fine dining server, never have we ever seen anyone treated so badly.

Darrell Derksen

Great food, presentation and atmosphere!

Manon Fontaine

Nice egg Bennie's, great view, cozy

S Ferry

Best clam chowder in town. It is the classiest place in Rupert. Worth it for the good food and top notch service.

Paula Korpi

Ordered the steak salad .the steak was cooked perfect .med/rare

Ben Lance

This place is too fancy for my liking, the food is kinda over priced, but it was fast and good, not very big portions tho overall it's a meh for me.

Ian Conklin

Excellent service and food. Steaks delivered as ordered and friendly service. Superb ocean views.

Raven Ann Potschka

Breakie was small but food is good. Coffee is yummy

TE Alba B

Excellent restaurant at this nice city , which we visited for the very first time. We started at Charleys Bar with a lovely bottle of Burrowing Owl Chardonnay and to move later on to Waterfront Restaurant, when Jennifer R rudely asked us to pay the bill and to grab by ourselves the bottle of wine with the bucket..... not impressed .....when at this type of hotel it must be continuity in the service and gentleness to customers...... anyhow we are so happy we did a great move because at the Waterfront restaurant we were happily and professionally received by NUCHY, who is so lovely and we then had a great time with delicious food and another half bottle of same wine. When the people has the full world in their head, it is much better to provide excellent service as we experienced with NUCHY, great suggestions, fast service, pleasant conversation and fantastic moments in a elegant ambience with great view to the open sea.

Simon Hardy-Francis

Location is spectacular, service is so-so, food is so-so, wait time is on the edge of tolerable, prices are spectacular.

Dave Kattler

Probably some of the best food and views in Prince Rupert

Nicole Havens

We ate here 3 times during our stay in Prince Rupert and it was excellent every time. We had a few different servers and they were all so helpful. The service was great. The food each time so good! Drinks were very good too. Would definitely suggest going here while your in Prince Rupert. Would definitely make a reservation though. They fill up every night.

Tony Palychuk

Killer food always willing to accommodate a change to a dish as best as they're able. Thanks guys and gals

Kyriakos Sourlantzis

The best place to have your lunch or dinner. Prices are high enough, but you will enjoy every bite. Staff is very good ????... See you soon guys

Paul Williams - aka Nunavut Taidy

Very nice place, simple elegance, helpful and patient staff.

Erin Weinzierl

We had breakfast here and the food was very good! Service was good. The view of the water was great! We would come back again.

Jason V.

I've been here a few times when starting in Prince Rupert for business and I've already had yummy food, good service and reasonable prices. The views from the restaurant are very beautiful overlooking Prince Rupert harbor.

Ambrose Barton

Was great had a nice anniversary dinner with my wife

Philip Wouda

It was ok. Views make it worth it, but the breakfast missed the mark. This $14+ frittata was meh, and tasted like a pesto omelette with arugula (if it was marketed as such, great). Nice decor, clean. Patio doesn't open until 1130am.

NutShell Theology

Super food. Super view. Great service. We will eat there again!

Jeffrey

Clean and spacious environment. Staff are polite and attentive. Food portions fair and flavourful with pleasing presentation. An excellent place to bring family for lunch.

Hannah Nieman

Had two meals here so far and enjoyed both. The backyard burger was a tasty meal and the chocolate lava cake was delicious. Dining was pretty nice, though the dress code was relaxed (ie jeans are okay). If you get a seat overlooking the water the views are very nice. Over all good experience and service. Higher price points though.

Eric Rempel

Great harbour view. I would like to see other things on the menu at a more reasonable price

Erica Freeman

Down to the drinks this place was outstanding! Why is there no option for 10 stars? This place deserves it. Our meals were amazing! I got the long braised beef short ribs which was phenomenal, I brought my left overs home and made a soup that compares to nothing I've ever tasted before! He had the earth and surf which he said was amazing. The meats were cooked to PERFECTION, the service was amazing, and the drinks were delicious! Thank you for the amazing service, can't wait to come again!

Dawn-Ann Schneider

Oh my, such good food. Try the artisan bread

jagan ng

Stars only for beautiful view and service good ... Only breakfast , truffle fires, and watermelon salad are super good Only name sounds good and fancy in menu.. Steak salad medium steak burned one side, lobster mac & cheese very very dry ... and peppercorn sauce just a regular gravy with crushed black pepper on top so funny...

Ricky

5 stars for exceptional food and service! I had the Fisherman's Pasta which was cooked perfectly, tasty and well proportioned. The restaurant also boasts a great view of the ocean. Can't wait to come again during my next visit to Prince Rupert.

CS Moore

Great food, great staff, love the atmosphere. It's pretty much the most upscale place to dine in town!

Michael Wilde

You'll never forget this place, it has to be my favorite restaurant in North America. Walk in and you're greeted by the most spectacular view, overlooking a sound with mountains on the other side that the sun sets over. You can experience this indoors looking out across two continuous walls of 12-ft walls of glass, or you can dine outside on the top of a cliff. I digress; back to restaurant. Cuisine: Freshest North-Pacific seafood I've had, and I'm convinced the halibut is the best in the world (great in all forms, but with it they've perfected fish & chips). Appetizers are unique & delightful across the board. Remember: this is a restaurant that hangs over the ocean, near the top of the world, so you come here for the seafood, not the steaks. If you -do- order the steaks, then you're the equivalent of a tourist asking a Patagonian steakhouse for a Happy Meal--I don't consider the kid's menu in this ranking, and again, you're an idiot if you don't get the seafood. (6/5) Atmosphere: 6/5 (check out the pictures, and then realize they can't capture a sunset over the mountains, or the truly international character of the patronage. Staff: Very good at what they do, yet without the stuffy 5-star etiquette. (4.75/5) Beer, Sprits, & Wine: Roughly 25 taps of great beer, damn fine wine selection, and the listed cocktails seem solid though I'm not a fan of liquor and as such can't speak to the bartenders' skills. (5/5) Underview: If you can, go. Unforgettable.

Great service, incredible food, I had the Korean rice bowl with Ginger beef. The dessert Sticky Toffee Cake was beyond delicious!!! Highly recommend when going to Prince Rupert!

Adrian Batho

Numerous breakfast offerings made with quality ingredients. The view is top notch throughout most of the restaurant. The prices are a touch high but considering the location, not surprising. The wait staff are attentive and courteous.

Beautiful place to stay when in Prince Rupert just get there before 4 to get a great parking rooms are huge, meals are great here, and service is great here

Ryan Hamilton

Great Food, servers and bartenders were top notch and great to talk to.

Charlie Barnett

During our time in this area, we came here once for lunch and once for dinner. Both experiences very different but very good. Daytime, we requested and were blessed to have a waterfront table. Spectacular if you can get it.

Suzanne Doucet

Fantastic! Amazing view, great service, price on par with other breakfast places. Great keto breakfast...salmon, hollandaise and cauliflower hash patties!!!

Lexie Lawrence

Have gone for breakfast and dinner. Has great views. Loved the chai long island tea cocktail and salmon dinner!

Nathan Schultz

Lovely views; delicious food. Would gladly visit again.

William Adam McDuff

Very good pancakes, nice plate. Maybe a bit more spice on the hash browns, but everything was competently done and well served. Not sure about the tea pot. They look nice, but the wide cup isn't the easiest to actually use.

Mike G

We were here for a few days and generally the food was decent. The view is great and the seafood potage was a great dish as was the butter chicken. However, the steak was poorly cooked, asked for rare and received medium/well (barely pink in the middle); burgers and sandwiches were quite average. Where the restaurant completely failed was with service. Understandably, the pace in Prince Rupert is expected to be slower, but lunch service took nearly 45 minutes for a simple burger. Dinner service, we were abandoned by the waitstaff part way through the meal and while we wanted to order more food and drinks, it was over an hour before they even bothered to attend to the table.

Annette Wilson

Beautiful view great food

Gina Lavetti

We always come here when we visit Rupert. It's a great spot with a nice view and tasty food.

Megs Harwood

Food was great and so were the views, but service was incredibly slow. We waited over 45 minutes for our entre of a burger and a beef dip. They forgot our drinks once and we had to flag a waitress down to remind them.

Andrew Csonka

Food was a bit over priced but well cooked and the service was good.

Keith Cociani

Good food and drinks but not cheap.

Black Tide Adventures Fishing charters

Everything is outstanding! The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly and is catering to your needs.

Barb Walters

The food here is absolutely fantastic. We enjoyed it so much we ate there both nights that we stayed at the hotel. The service is very professional, everything came out at a nice pace and you can't beat the views!

David Best

Great breakfast, great dinner - out party was grateful for the large breakfast portions and I heard many great things about their curry during and after dinner.

Laura Ng

Worst service worst food -they got our order wrong - food was over cooked just terrible which is too bad because the restaurant is in such a nice spot

Haeden Swirski

Amazing food but the staff kept me waiting 20 min extra on a pickup order

Travis B

Good atmosphere, very well kept restaurant. Staff was friendly and helpful. I got the peppercorn steak with king crab and it was cooked to perfection a little pricey but worth it

Tuck Leong Chan

It's always very nice to eat here especially overlooking the harbor.

RW Henhouse

Good food, great service and views

Donald Vanderrick

Great food and always busy.

Kathy Bedard

Nice to sit and visit with friends over a great meal. Laura is a fabulous server!

Conrad Andrelunas

Best food in rupert. Beautifully decorated and a very cozy atmosphere. Menu has a lot of great seafood item, steak and lobster entrees are grest. Highly recommended

Sandra Dmc

For a place that has such high prices you would expect the food and especially the service to be top notch. Not the case for the Waterfront Resturant. Food was mediocre at best. Service was what I would expect from Dennys. Black pants and t-shirts on the servers does not say "Fine dining." Teach your servers to: 1- Take your drink order before asking "Whatcha like ta eat?" 2- Comeback and ask how everything is. 3- Ask if your finished your meal before taking the plate away. With this said, I will not recommended the Waterfront to dine at. I will recommend the casino next door or one of the cheesy tourist places on Cow Bay.

Natasha Alexcee

We went there last night and it was full. The lady said come back later. So we went to Rhodos and really enjoyed there food. ????

Darlene McIntyre

Best seafood chowder in town. Everyone is so nice. Gotta love those automatic bathrooms. Thanks you all!

Adam Vandersman

Good atmosphere, food ok. Service was great. Steak salad was awesome. Had to wait over a hour for the food but it was extremely busy.

David L.

Our favorite restaurant in Prince Rupert. Great food and views.

nora grets

Was here for dinner last week it took them 20 minutes to finally come to our table and take our drink orders, another 15 minutes for the drinks to come (we all ordered water) and then another 20 to take our food orders. After waiting an hour for our food we were just about to leave when finally it came out, cold. It did not make sense to us that it took so long for our meals to come seeing as 3 tables who arrived after us and ordered practically the same meals got theirs before we did. We asked our waitress why it took so long and she could not give us an honest excuse, stating that the kitchen serves the restaurant and the bar and so it is very busy...? When the waitress came to clear our table she dropped my dirty cutlery into my lap and when I asked her to bring me a napkin she instead went inside and did not come back out to the patio where we were for the rest of our meal, avoiding our table. It was only after I went inside and followed her to the bar when we were leaving and reminded her that she was supposed to get me a napkin that she acknowledged me AND SHE STILL DIDN'T GET ME THE DAMN NAPKIN. The view and patio are truly stunning and the food was alright even though it was cold but the service was really awful and we will not be visiting again. If you want a great, affordable restaurant in Prince Rupert go to Opa Sushi at 34 Cow Bay, hands down the best food we had during our stay.

Robert Smith

Nobody can compete with crest food and service. Always great

Tina Spence

Usually a very nice experience. This time...our server forgot an appetizer. Didn't order the dinner correctly. So our fish was soggy by the time our proper side arrived. We ll try again another time.

Shawn Dick

Awesome food! Great atmosphere and service! Amazing view!

Irene Eisbrenner

The food as always is delicious. My favorite, Cowgirl salad with shrimp. Makes my mouth water just to think of it. Service (Jenelle) was good. Could have asked if we wanted coffee/tea after meals.

Tom Cheng

The best restaurant in Prince Rupert period

gary nelson

Good until waitresse asking for tip before we left

Robert Bohun

Food is great. The spring rolls are a must try. Not the biggest menu choices. They have a small bar. It overlooks the port. Staff is friendly. It's tucked against the water so it's kind of like a little secret spot. Wasn't busy when I went but filled up quick.

Rodonna Pearson

Great food and great service.

Angela Forrest

Amazing food, view and service. Love the pub side but the restaurant is nice too. Will always be a go to favorite of mine.

Michelle Kemthong

Delicious! Such a beautiful restaurant with an amazing view. I love going for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and sometimes even just for dessert! There’s always something tasty to choose from and the service is fantastic

Selena Paulsen

Really wish I could give this place a better rating! The view is amazing, the food is amazing, however the service for the price is sub par and ruined the experience. Waited 15 min for drinks, another 20 min for appies (despite ordering at the same time) and even longer for entres which arrived cold. Our plates and empty glasses sat in front of us for almost half an hour with no server in sight before giving up on the idea of dessert and apretif and just went to the front to pay. We will be back because of the food and view but will definitely plan for at least a 2-2.5 hr long ordeal.
