I came here for dinner and since it was dark I didn't get much view of the water. Overall it was good. I ordered the salmon and the skin was crisp, but the inside was still tender. Got the dry ribs as the appetizer and it was it a bit too dry. Service was good, but it took a very long time for the food to come.

Great food and professional service from "trained waitstaff" not dirty looking girls wearing skirts so short you can see their inner child while wobbling around in stilettos congregating with each other..."the chain resturant look"
I had the chowder and loved how it was topped with a pinch of cream, very tasty and they give you those tiny oyster crackers i take home with me, but not giving full stars because they did not offer a fried shrimp, fried shrimp and fried scallops are my favourite food, they did offer fried coconut shrimp, sorry but yawn! Although i did order the coconut shrimp and it was tasty with cocktail sauce. Btw our waitress was very nice and smiled a lot which makes a world of difference, my partner had a chilly beer paired with fish and chips. Yum!

One of my favourite restaurants. The Lobster Mac n' Cheese, Chicken sandwiches are to die for. Recently found out they changed the menu, still a great selection, but the Lobster Mac is gone!! If you see this message Blue Canoe, please bring back the Lobster Mac to your menu. Would really appreciate it!!! Thanks!

I've been here twice and both times were great. I like coming at sunset and because you could sit right by the window and watch it while you eat. Their spinach dip is AMAZING. But I had their house sandwich the second time and it wasn't as great. The sandwich was dry.

Stopped by for lunch to check out their revamped menu.
I have here crab & avocado sandwich and chicken with grilled veg flatbread.
Both were good, but I found it a bit pricey for what it is.
I do love sitting on their patio!

We enjoyed this restaurant very much. Had nice seats on the patio right next to the water. The food is upscale, a little pricey, but good. The chicken sandwich looked awesome but was a little bland, but the sides with it (fries and salad) were great. The grilled shrimp appetizer (comes with a small cucumber salad) was very good, and same with the feature soup, lobster bisque. No complaints about the service.

Great View!!. To be perfectly honest the food was average, the service was good, and the view was better than you'd expect... Only downside was the speakers on the patio were blown and they must have had someones ipod on, and literally played the same 8 songs over and over...

Great food (my Lakeside salad was delicious). Everyone at our table remarked on how tasty their meal was. The service was very good. Even though we stayed a long time, staff was attentive and cups refilled. Beautiful view. Will come again

In response to kamloops. This is my first time writing something on urban spoon, however i felt compelled to respond to from kamloops reaction and comments. My bf and I were sitting at the table beside said family. The woman was extremely rude to the hostess, she called her stupid for seating her at a stunning table. Let me add any table the blue canoe has a great view with huge windows. We heard her mumble under her breath a few choice words after the hostess left. The lady with her two sons and perhaps her husband were the only ones at the table the whole time. There was never any elderly people seated. The server a young man appraoched their table and we heard the lady say did something like "did i offend your hostess" . a few minutes later the manager came out and introduced himself. The womans response was "oh great" smuggly she knew she was offensive. I felt sorry for the hostess she spoke down to. And the manager was right in asking her to leave. She caused us to feel uncomfortable and i am sure the staff at the blue canoe to feel uncomfortable. I would be ashamed if this was my behaviour and how a woman treats another woman so belittling. She is not showing her kids a very upstanding human way to talk to people. She also lied about the elderly people their. They may have been coming but the definately were not there at that time. This woman does not deserve her words spoken to be heard, or her words written to be read. Good on you Blue Canoe for asking this woman to leave. She was an awful human being.

Not a stand out, but not a miss either. As others have said, don't go here expecting a fantastic culinary experience. That being said, it's worth going here at least once. The views are fantastic, and the food is above average.

Great decor, gorgeous view. And salmon-avocado tartare to die for. Really the best I've had since my favourite restaurant in Ottawa that specialized in this dish closed. And the view at sunset is stunning. Plus friendly, very professional waitstaff.

A good view, good service, and good food? Hard to find… yet still alive! A restaurant that can do seafoods and meats done perfectly is hard to find… But Blue Canoe Waterfront Restaurant is a restaurant of many talents! A beautiful restaurant located in Steveston along the water is a beautiful place for a nice evening out. Both the outside and inside are designed beautifully making you feel at home. Upon our arrival we were greeted by a friendly hostess who showed us to our seat (which we requested inside) and we were seated at a beautiful booth with a nice view of the water (this restaurant was off to a great start… and the night was just beginning! Looking at the menu I noticed it had quite a large variety of dishes. The seafood is what I was impressed with… Depending on the season they only carry certain types of fish which means you only get the freshest stuff! Tonight I had to go for the Sashimi Grade Albacore Tuna because a great seared tuna is hard to find! As well as the Roasted

I’ll give you a heads up about Steveston, don’t be in a hurry, take your time and relax. Do what my buddy Gus and I did, walk up to the hostess at Blue Canoe, put your name on the wait list, give her your cell # and go for a walk on the boardwalk. They’ll call you when your table is ready. We went for a quick walk and checked out Fisherman’s Wharf and some of the cool fun shops along the way.

Hi Everyone, I had lunch at the Blue Canoe Waterfront Restaurant today in Steveston Village’s waterfront area. This place is full of waterfront restaurants with nice patios and great views of the water. It’s just a few steps away from Sockeye City Grill , the other restaurant that I blogged about, and in fact Jess and I were considering trying this restaurant last time but they were busy as well, so we walked on and ended up at Sockeye. We arrived at this restaurant right when they opened, so there was no trouble getting a table, but soon after the patio was filling up fast and becoming full in no time. Their website says they won Richmond’s Best Restaurant award, so this must be good. The patio was nice and spacious, covered, had heating available, and several tvs as well. They also provided blankets for each table in case it was cold, which in the beginning it was a bit chilly as the breeze from the water was coming in and it wasn’t that warm yet. The table was a bit sticky, but not

The restaurant was busy but service is fast and the waitress was very attentive as well. We got 3 course dinner and it took us an hour 10 mins from sitting down to leaving. Foods here were delicious, the seafood tasted fresh, small but good portion. Dine out menu has great value. Would highly recommend!

Our server Evan added to our amazing anniversary “date day” the muscles were some of the best we’ve had. The Prawn & Crab Linguine was tasty. The focaccia bread was soooo good! Beautiful location, comfortable casual classy vibe to this restaurant. Can’t wait to come back. We will ask to be in Evan’s section. Thanks for a memorable dinner!

Our experience at the Blue Canoe was great. We sat out on the patio and enjoyed the beautiful weather while we ate here. My wife and I loved the seafood tostados and fish and chips. Our server was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean. The washroom is clean also. Overall our experience was enjoyable and I will probably return some time in the future.
