Reviews of Salmon House On The Hill (Fish Shop)

Linzi Malcolm

The service was excellent but the food could have been better. The scallops were overcooked. The seafood platter, so much seafood but they all treated the same. The steel and crab, one little teeny piece of half crab leg. Soup was delish and that view!

the view was lovely ! It was good experience but food were not so good

Mateo Delguidice

Pretty good, don't get the hype about the view. Food was decent, salmon could have been less cooked and the beer more interesting.

Nicole P

Delicious food, amazing view, and wonderful staff. It was quite expensive.

Rana Siroosian

The place and the view was excellent. The food was decent but it could have been so much better. I ordered a salmon, it was good it wasn’t something that makes me wow. Compare to other higher quality restaurants I would say this place is a bit pricey. For the two of us the total came to $120 which I think is a high number for such food or better say for sea food.

Exquisitely prepared food, but rather expensive! Stunning view of Vancouver from Point Grey (UBC) to Stanley Park.

Franco Federico

I absolutely love this establishment! First off the Salmon House is aesthetically beautiful with an amazing view. Getting a window seat here is something truly to behold. The menu is absolutely top notch but is predominantly seafood based (in case you didn't get that from the name). There are quality non-seafood options as well. However they are limited. Everything from the appetizers, mains, & desserts are all top level. The wine list is very deep and high end. The service was fantastic and on point. Now...the Salmon house is NOT for those whose wallet is faint of heart. This is fine dining to it's core so expect an average price of about $80 to $100 per head by the end of the night. The Salmon House is definitely one of Vancouver's elite fine dining experiences.

Amazing food with a great view! ???? The staff is very friendly and the prices are reasonable! We had three really good starters : The best fried calamary I've tasted, oysters and salmon ceviche. For our mains we had the risotto, fresh fish and new York strip. This was also very tasty!! Only thing I would ask for was a bit more sauce on the steak. The dessert consisted of a beautiful crème brulle, a very interesting sweet ravioli and sorbets! These all had amazing flavors!! Really recommend this place ????

With breath taking views of the City of Vancouver and the inlet . The salmon house has amazing cocktails & some of the best seafood this province has to offer. Make no mistake about it this is a world class delight.

Feels like an upscale Red Lobster with an incredible view. The place could be updated, but I feel like the older decor gives this building some nostalgia with some of their customers. Cocktails aren't great and could easily be changed, but you pay for the ambience, view and the seafood! I wouldn't go back right away nor would it be my first recommendation to anyone. However, if you have $100 and want dinner with a view and a glass of wine, I'd put it on your list!

Food was delicious! Both, food and drinks came out so fast! Our waitress was excellent! Views are gorgeous, I recommend reserving a seat but the window. Great spot for a special occasion. Located right off the highway and had ample parking. I will definitely be revisiting.

Saber Bahranifard

a perfect place for fine dining ???? with astounding skyline ???? view of Vancouver! The reception and staff are amazing and made our big party a memorable event!

Dennis Leung

Great views. Wonderful serving staff. Standard upscale food, although a little expensive for the quality. The salmon trio is a great delicious way to compare different varieties of salmon. The risotto needed salt or to be cooked in broth, or to have the shellfish mixed in. Awesome fun and creative desserts! Unfortunately, like so many nice places in the Northwest, the clientele wears everything from suits and dresses to shorts and t-shirts, so it is not a solid date night if you are trying to impress someone!

Munro Stuff

Pricey but excellent service and delicious food. Ideal for special occasions and out-of-town guests. Salmon Wellington is wonderful!

Ryan Bottriell

Beautiful view, quiet and refined atmosphere, and a menu to die for. This place is high end dining at it's finest

Monita Cheng

A nice restaurant with excellent YVR view. Good service. Mediocre execution of quality food. Lobster tails were exceedingly overcooked. It could be noisy when next table's customers do not acquire public ettitque, who like to "broadcast" their conversation.

Jarrod Haynes

The Salmon House has a great menu with amazing produce as well as an extensive wine and beer list featuring both local and foreign products. The service is amazing and the view is unbeatable! It's worth a trip out to Salmon House whether you're a local or just visiting Vancouver.

Great views and cuisine to match. Our server was just the right balance of attention and leaving us to our evening. Lovely date spot or special occasion. Book in advance to get a window table!

Salmon House is a charming establishment with unique features, however the place is quite dated and the dishes are not very sophisticated or tasty. We had a very pleasant visit as the hosts are quite warm and accommodating.

Punchita Annie

Visited this place second time within relative short period and I never disappointed with the quality of the service. If you want to experience real West Coast culinary this is the place to be. The selection of the menu is carefully handpicked and well put together, kudos for the chef. You can start with some local wines and the appetizer are just as good as the main course. The service is excellent, prompt and polite. The restaurant is very quiet, perfect for date. Price is not cheap but for that you get a superb service in a very elegant and classic environment. The view from the tables is spectacular, basically you can see the whole Lower Mainland right from your table. There is plenty parking spots are available so you do not have to worry about that. The restaurant very close to the highway providing easy access for every direction. Reservation is easy since you can do it online but you can call them directly. Highly recommended restaurant if you want to impress someone or if you want to represent traditional West Coast food. Can't wait to my next visit.

Terry Greatsly

Best place for fish and best view in Vancouver. If you are price insensitive, this is THE restaurant for you. If $40 for an entree isn't your thing, then skip this place. I love this place for special occasions and on clear days where you get amazing views of Vancouver. Food ranks up there with the best upscale places. Food is consistently great. The service is also very good. Really, the only problem is the price. That's the reason I can't give it five stars. If someone else pays, I'd give it a five! Decor is a tad dated but still very clean, it's a traditional "West Coast" style that typifies Vancouver and its region.

Maurice Maginn

Our company did their Christmas dinner here last night. The service was excellent, the food was fantastic and the views were awesome. We had an incredible night and enjoyed a 4 course menu that delighted all night.

J B

My number one place for a nice meal in the Vancouver area. Has a warm, cabin like feel inside with a stunning view overlooking Vancouver. The food is always great and cooked perfectly.

Reliable fancy restaurant with good quality food, they need interior and exterior renovations though.....badly

Peter Classen

Amazing food and service . Going back for Valentines dinner.

Red Murphy

Wonderful, peaceful, romantic. We had the oysters and scallops to start, followed by sable fish and salmon. All very nice, with a touch of Christmas in the air. Our server Coleen, was all one could wish for.

B D

Really excellent salmon. I had the dish with different salmon varieties (damned if I can remember the name) where I learned I actually prefer Chinook salmon over the popular sockeye (when cooked at least). interesting! great service as well. overall fantastic experience, worth the money.

Michael Jones

Good food. Beautiful view of the city. Good service. I usually end up at The Salmon House at some point during a Vancouver visit and it's been consistently good for many years. A salad and spring rolls to start. Very good. This time my wife had the salmon Wellington, which, while I'd hesitate to call it "Wellington", was very good, as was my sablefish. Both plates well presented with a different variety of vegetables for each. Definitely recommended.

Dale Collins

This was a special occasion so we wanted to go somewhere extra special. As is my custom, when I arrive at a new restaurant, I asked the server what they would order. My entree was the halibut and my wife had the Chinook salmon. They were both exquisite! The server was charming and attentive and also give perfect recommendations for dessert. A very positive experience.

Cecilia Teixeira

Beautiful views, delicious food, awesome service, reasonable prices. It’s definitely a top choice to go as a local and a “must do” if you have visitors.

Natalia

As usually wonderful experience with the food, ambience and service. The duck breast with orange sauce is a art. My special appreciation and respect to Sonya. She is gorgeous. We would love to repeat such experience for special occasions and usual routine with spectacular view.

Brian Thom

Ok, this is clearly a pretty special place to eat on a rainy Vancouver night. Warm and comfortable, intimate even, this place wraps you up like a wool blanket, and then puts plates of some of the best food anywhere in front of you -- Pacific coast salmon, fish, and seafood. Cooking salmon with alder is really the best for flavour -- easily better than cedar plank or other methods -- and the chef's here do bring the alder wood in because they know their flavours. The Salmon Trio is a signature dish, tonight I had coho, sockeye, and spring salmon all the on the same plate. Five stars.

D R Tam

Food is so so and service is only average. The price you paid is not reasonable, there are many other choices of restaurants. View from the restaurant is magnificent but you don't have to dine in to see it.

Eric Cheng

Made reservations for 1700 when they opened. They had a 3 course special for $35 which seemed like a steal especially since the exact main on the menu was going for $37. Manhattan chowder was good, but didn't seem spectacular. The scallop and sable fish were exceptionally prepared and plated. The 3 fish special was plated well, but I actually thought the Salman was on the dry side. Service was professional and prompt. The views are spectacular! If you can time it right it may be a neat place to see the sun go down. The only reason why it was 4stars is due to price. It would seem reasonable for a place like this to throw in the bread on the house. Desserts were also well prepared and a great way to end the meal if you aren't already full from the main.

Terry R

Fantastic seafood paella best I've ever had. Rich and an abundance of seafood that was perfectly cooked.

Rachel Tison

Great view, came early with a family of 4. Dinner was delicious, excellent service, family friendly. The peach sauce on the salmon trio was unique and amazing.

Rachel Loerch

Food quality and prices don’t align. Service is also inattentive with dirty cups to start.

Google Guide

Romantic spot with awesome views of Vancouver across the Burrard Inlet from West Vancouver. Location is 'off the beaten path,' with an unassuming exterior. However once inside the restaurant has a warm Westcoast atmosphere with First-nation artwork. Most seats will have a decent view in their terraced dining room. This higher end restaurant offers a good selection of menu items (kid's menu available), with well staffed service. For greater savings they offer Entertainment Coupon discounts. A large room with good views is available for private functions. From the dining areas there is access to a balcony to further enjoy the views and is great for photos. Onsite surface parking.#letsguide

We come here every year for our anniversary and the food is always amazing, along with the service. It's a nice, quiet place with views to die for!

Polly Oh

Good food, excellent service, amazing view!

Aurelius Jack

Fantastice view, very tasty food. My obky wish would be the appetizers were a little more shareable.

Anne Marie Webb-Hughes

Food is as good as ever. We would like to see the bar lounge opened back up with live music on weekends

Zo Wade

Amazing! This place has been here since 1975 and still shows that with a unique location and amazing food, people will show up and enjoy! We had a fantastic experience with quick service and a great west coast flavor. We had a lot of seafood that plated so perfectly and tasted even better. The salmon was moist and flavorful. Tip...try to get a window table to enjoy the amazing view.

Donald L

Great night view of downtown Vancouver and Lion’s Gate bridge on a clear evening. Dine Out dishes were delicious, sample appetizer, chinook salmon entree and Paris-Brest dessert. Cozy warm west coast atmosphere.

Gma Chacha

It was fine. Very old school restaurant. Dining room is spacious. Good food, but not an exciting menu. The Salmon butter is good. Appetizer sampler is boring. Looks like to me the chef love to serve dishes with spring rolls or filo pastry. We had 2 dishes with spring rolls as side.... and the baked cheese cake ravioli has filo wrap. Taste weird. A nice restaurant for view and ambiance but not to go there for food. Service is ...... OK....

Reuben Reyes

If you love seafood this is the place to go. Nice selection of salmon cooked many different ways. They can modify your order no problem. This place is a little more expensive but worth it. The waiter and staff are excellent. Was seated by a window and the view was spectacular. Food was cooked to perfection and the flavors were amazing. Highly recommended.

Lyle Priel 《my name rhymes》

Spectacular taste, great service, and well presented too.. all wrapped up with amazing views and great ambiance. I'd recommend this place to anyone ????

Damaris Kazor

A fabulous place for a special occasion - the night time views are amazing! Our favorites were the salmon trio (to sample 3 different salmon types - yes please!) And the peach cream cheese ravioli - to die for

Winston Zhao

Awesome food, perfect view, great service and comfortable atmosphere

Patricia Wu

I've been here many times for different occasions, and haven't been disappointed at the quality of service and food. Dining on a normal weekday gives you a more personal service with time to enjoy the view. During the dine out period, they can get busy, but food quality is still on par (and above, if anything). I have also attended a wedding reception here. Although the layout can be a bit tough, they offer two level seating, so more people can see the love seat head table. Their service that day was also spectacular. They offer Open Table reservations, which is a perk as well. Only down side is that the drive up and parking lot can get quite dark, so drive in with a friend or know your route well.

Terry Peristerakis

Had a great meal here with family that we were visiting at the time. The Meals were great as were the Oysters to start with. The staff were very friendly and also very accommodating as we asked for some steamed vegetables for our 7'th month old. The Salmon dish was excellent, and perfectly prepared. Also the view was great as the clouds broke up a bit for us. Would absolutely recommend them for an early dinner, at an upscale place. We did book an early 5:30 reservation and it did fill up as we were there.

Alexander Trinh

Excellent brunch! Food was tasty and the best view of Vancouver! Service was quite robotic but polite. I recommend the crab omelette and the salmon Benedict was average

Jedi Master

This is a great place for dinner as their food and service is impeccable..the view is just amazing. Now...they offer brunch on Sundays and is excellent!...most people just associate this restaurant with dinner but their brunch menu is fantastic. Highly recommend it for brunch !

Raelene Uchida

This was a very beautiful place for us and our family. Diane was excellent she went over and above to make our event special for us. The food was amazing. The view over looking Vancouver is spectacular.

Marilou

Great date night. Beautiful view, great food and awesome service. First time here but won't be the last.

Hugo

We went there for lunch, it was totally disappointing, the food was horrible. The service was also a bit off. I definitely wouldn’t recommend. I had the lobster soup as appetizer and really it wasn’t tasty at all. It was too salty and tasted like old fish. After, I had the classic wild grilled salmon. It was really nothing special at all. I could have made this at home easily. Also, it was quite dry. Overcooked. Very bad. The view on that day was also not so nice. Very cloudy. Also the smell inside the restaurant is not appetizing. It smelled like the restaurant was few centuries old. Kindly avoid.

Thomas Tricarico

Hade a wonderful evening at the Salmon House for a 50th Anniversary party...including a delicious dinner. My Mrs had the Alder Grilled NY steak, medium and I had the Alder grilled Wild Salmon. Both were delicious and followed by their Apple Tatin. The views pver to the city are quite lovely. A great restaurant, great service and very popular. Worth the visit.

Sahand M

The good. Excellent food with a stunning view to boot. The restaurant is known for serving high quality food plated like artwork, and a beautiful view of Vancouver from the North Shore. Between the view and the food, the actual open, spacious, and properly lit atmosphere doesn't get it's fair due. It is a beautiful restaurant. The odd. It's important to set the right tone for your guests. Asking them if they're from around here isn't the best opener. It can leave an odd feeling and after thought.

Get the seafood tower for the experience, and get there early even with a reservation to get a window seat for the view.

Kelvin Lau

Sunday night - the restaurant was only about half full. Got a nice corner window table with great views of Vancouver downtown. Food was excellent and service was equally great. Prices are on the higher side but with restaurants with a view, I believe a price premium is added. So value can depend on what table you end up with.

Blair Monaghan

Took my girlfriend here for our anniversary amazing view and very good service. The food was delicious and very fresh.

Eunice Um

Had a birthday dinner here with my friends recently and really enjoyed the experience! Service was very very good and so was the food! I had a chance to get the dine out course and everything was just really delicious. It was raining so the view wasn’t too good but I think it will be amazing if its sunny out. Definitely a good experience, thank you!

Antonio Simoes

A romantic restaurant witht great food, amazing view, smooth Jazz music and kind staff. We loved everything about it.

Casey Chan

Went for dine out. Excellent. Great view. Food and service top notch even for Vancouver standards. Great attention to detail, cozy atmosphere for special occasions. Would be back to try regular menu . Recommended.

Af Sh

Nice place. Busy. Reserve a table. Expensive. Good food but very little of it.

Salmon House on the Hill is a fine dining experience so is on the higher end for cost but it's worth it. The servers are excellent, the view is amazing and the food is absolutely delicious! My only 'pet peeve' is that, at the price of the wine and food, if you want bread, they charge you for a small basket of it. My family and I feel that it should come free with the meal.

swiftka81

Awesome restaurant. Nice view. Amazing seafood. Had the Chinook Salmon, wifey had sablefish.Excellent service. Nice artwork, Highly recommend.

Ken Whipple

Great view/food. We had a great time

Duncan Kids

Great food and service! We are never disappointed. The food was all delicious, right to the very different but amazing cheesecake for dessert. Overlooking spectacular views of Vancouver.

Farid Darvish

Great service!! From the moment you walk in, your every need is being catered to. The view is phenomenal and the food is even better. The Salmon Trio was absolutely amazing!! It was a treat to my taste buds. Our first waiter Joe made the experience really wonderful. We will definitely be returning when we visit Canada again.

Anthony Szeto

I took both my mother and my brother's partner for their birthday dinner here on June 26th. I had heard of the restaurant as Chef Mario had spent a short period of time working at our care facility and had mentioned his restaurant previously. I'm glad I took the opportunity to take my family here as the food, ambience, and service was wonderful. Our server Colleen made sure that we were taken care of. The salmon trio was enjoyed by both guests of honor. Dessert was also quite decadent (A serving of the blueberry mint frozen yogurt and the creme brulee). The view of the city scape only further added to our evening. I look forward to a second opportunity of revisiting here again in the future.
