This was such a great dinner. Right from the time we walked in and asked for a table for three with our 2 year old grandson. Warm welcome, easy menu, delicious food, great wine list and all with a warm welcome and smiling service.
Taylor was excellent in helping getting Zachary settled into his high chair and turned up the outdoor heater to keep him toasty, after getting in a blanket as well.
The crab and lobster tacos were very yummy and larger than we thought - we added a main of B.C. Salmon which melted in your mouth and was does to a chefs perfection.
We’ll be back for sure and would recommend you pass by the chains and line ups and try this place out.
Thanks again for making this such a nice evening.

Amazing food and great service the trout was to die for We have been doing dine out for sixteen years Wild Tale is one of the best highly recommend having the oysters we will definitely be back soon
As neither of us are living in Vancouver, the idea of fresh West Coast seafood was very appealing. We started with a platter of oysters, 3 different types, 4 oysters each, served with horseradish which was tasty but grated a little too thickly. They also provided three different sauces, and some Tabasco sauce and a slice of lemon. I liked that there were lots of options. Then we shared our mains: halibut and black sable cod. Delicious, and tastes and textures that aren’t found in Australian fish. So, this really was a great treat. We also had some very tasty Brussels sprouts, that seemed to maybe have a bit of a batter on them, and washed it all down with a bottle of Albariño. Oh, and we loved our waitress who had such a funny, upbeat personality, it made us smile whenever she was at the table. A great, memorable meal. $100 each, including a tip.
Our brunch was quite enjoyable, or we really should call it lunch because there were no eggs! Both my Salmon on Risotto and Jess’s Spaghetti Bolognese were well prepared. And we were happy about the oysters as well. I like how straightforward the food is here, letting the fresh ingredients speak for themselves. The service was nice, and I also felt relaxed with such a casual ambiance on the patio here.
Came here for a group birthday dinner using their separated dining space. Didn't try the seafood but the meatballs and bone marrow were quite good. Service was attentive and friendly (18% gratuity included).
Bone marrow starter was very rich and flavourful, wonderful on the toasted bread and acidic chimichurri sauce. Only gripe is the expensive price tag, when not a lot was done to the bone.
Kobe beef burger was the entrée, with a heap load of fries and a side salad. The burger patty was huge, but nothing special in terms of flavour or juiciness, I wouldn't recommend.
Had a few bites of pork chop which was very fatty but flavourful. Would recommend that one instead.
I came here randomly. I knew I wanted to eat, but I wasn't sure what I wanted. I can be pretty picky at times. After reading the menu a bunch of times and not feeling very inspired I decided to just get a salmon burger. I like salmon burgers. Normally they are slightly dry and I depend on the aoli mayo or whatever to help me get through it, but that's just the way it is with salmon burgers. They taste good, and are healthy, but usually just a little dry. That is NOT the case here. This was the best salmon burger I've ever had. Super moist and tender. Slightly blackened. I actually thought about taking all the toppings off of it so I could enjoy the salmon on its own. I'm assuming this filet had never been frozen before. If I ever have a craving for a salmon burger I know where to go. I would have taken a picture, but I was busy eating it.
Came to Wild Tale with a group of 10 or so coworkers. Service was outstanding, disputes my group being tough to deal with at times.
The oyster selection was great! And they were awesome! Edfingham and Sawmill oysters, can't go wrong with those.
I will definitely be back!
What energy and ambience. I ordered my favourite Salmon and it was outstanding. The waitress was so respectful and attentive. Food, ambience, service and great atmosphere makes this Restaurant worth a visit or more.
After some crazy hours of shopping in DT, YAHHHH HAPPY HOUR!!! Everyone loves a good happy hour (I believe) LOL. Yaletown is an amazing neighborhood that you can find wide selections of restaurants and bistros. We randomly picked WildTale and we never been here before. Simple HH menu at a very reasonable prices. All bites come in small size at $6 and $2/pc shucked oyster (min. 1 dozen). HH runs from 3-6PM & 9 to close daily.
WildTale Coastal Grill is best known for their sustainable seafood and farm to table menu. Little did I know that also makes a mean brunch. Photo Credit: James Cheung/Hello Vancity. Of course we wouldn’t expect anything less from a restaurant that’s made its home in trendy Yaletown, and boasts kitchen talent such as John Crook and Erik Heck. Both Chefs have impressive resumes that include iconic Vancouver restaurants such as Joe Fortes and The Flying Pig to name a few.
Everyone has a friend that they don’t see very often, but when they do, shit gets CRAZY. My friend is Stu-pac. We already used to drink way too much back when he lived here and I saw him regularly, but now that he lives in Atlanta and only visits once or twice a year, when we meet for drinks we mean business. He stopped back in town this week on his way down to Portland for an interview, and so we decided to grab “just a few drinks” the evening before he had to catch his greyhound down to the States. We also decided to invite Chicken Little along, which only worsened matters since she drinks alcohol like its water. Sure enough far too many drinks were consumed, and the night ended with Stu-pac and I drunkenly getting on skytrains in the wrong direction. Stu-pac should know better than to meet with me the night before an important trip.
I am confident to say that I found a go to happy hour place that I am very content with. Located in the heart of Yaletown, Wildtale Coastal Grill offers a very spacious and comfortable dining experience with seating inside the restaurant, bar, and patio. Their happy hour runs from 4 pm to 6 pm daily.
This place has one of the best happy hours around & their buck a shuck oysters are wonderful! Their Lobster Rolls could use a bit more filling, but the rolls themselves were definitely the star of the dish. The Parmesan Fries were delicious, love the way they bake the Parmesan onto the fries so they don't fall off when you pick up the fry. The Coconut Fried Shrimp were large succulent pieces that were fried to perfection & the mango chutney added just the right amount of sweetness. The Fresh Seafood Ceviche was just that fresh & refreshing. The only reason I didn't give them 4 stars though was their dessert was very underwhelming. We ordered their chocolate cake & we didn't enjoy it. The icing had a funny flavour & the cake itself was dry. It tasted like an amateur baked it, definitely not something you would expect from a restaurant of this calibre. The service & the drinks were great. Overall, I would definitely come back to this restaurant, but I would probably pass on the dessert.
Came here for dine out after Covid. Great service. Tables were well spaced and lots of social distancing. Servers were friendly and wore masks.
Food was good. Would like to try happy hour menu.
Wild tale's Happy Hour. I would say Vancouver Restaurant is offering some good happy hour menu. Dish prices ranging from $6-$9 a plate. What I found interesting about wild tale happy hour menu is the 3 categories on the menu. I choose from the raw section as I was preparing myself for a big dinner. They also had the appetizer which consists of the braised meatball and salmon poppers. Then you have the steamer section which had clams and mussels. .
Grilled Oyster with creole butter. I just wish I ordered more than one. The inside of this shell was pure oysters and no added items to it.
Tuna Ceviche was pretty good, but wishing for more tuna to it .
Buck-A-Shuck Oyster which changes daily based on what the restaurant receives that day. .
Also kudos to the heated outdoor patio! Even if it's rain or snow. You can still have a great meal.

Our dear friend Ken took us to this place for happy hour. Yaletown has so much going on, it’s so hard to pick, so we were happy he chose.
I’m not quite sure how to review this, except by saying, we had a wonderful time. I say that because we didn’t order anything specific aside from the drinks. It was happy hour and the menu was chock full. Our friend spoke to the owner (his friend) and he agreed to just bring us out something awesome.
First thing was the chef’s refreshing take on tuna tacos/tostitos. I didn’t catch the name, but they were a clever fusion of Asian and Mexican styles. Then we had a seafood platter, that had these crab and shrimp sandwiches (hope I got that right!) in a split toasted bun, wonderfully prepared baked mussels, perfect coconut shrimp on a bed of purple slaw, served with grilled bread wedges.
Service was personable, the mixologist made a special drink for our new friend Suki, and we simply had a great time. Would love to come back and try all their offerings.
Kudos to the team at WildTale! We are thankful for the experience. 🤙🏼🥠
Ps. The Gin-T’s were fantastic!
Appetizers were great. Main meals were late and was just ok. We were a group of 6 and everyone thought that the food wasn't amazing but some thought that the lobster Gnocchi was good. The atmosphere is fun and the restaurant is in the heart of Yaletown.
Came in with my wife during the Taste of Yaletown event which offers a fixed price for 3-4 course meal. There was a good amount of selections in the menu plus we made it for Happy Hour so that was nice for drinks.
Everything turned out very appetizing visually and taste wise. They were always willing to offer pepper. They did check in after each bite which I guess is courtesy for some who actually expect that? I'd prefer just to eat uninterrupted but oh well.
Atmosphere was cozy but lively because you can see the action in the kitchen unfold and everyone seemed to be working well together.
I will be back try other stuff because I think I've only scratched the surface.
This establishment is the place to be for delicious seafood appetizers. By far the best oysters at a ridiculously good deal during appie hour. Benny served the table when I was on a double date and I like her spunky personality. Definitely will be back for more.
