Great View, but that's about it
by kim6954
We chose this place mostly because we had a coupon. It was bad from the start, the waitress who seated us was very rude, but I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe she was having a bad day. The waiter who actually waited on us was better, but the two waiters did have a little tiff right in front of us, but it made a good game for us, guessing why they might be so mad at each other. I had an ok dinner; ordered off the Sunset menu – fish & chips – with only two small pieces of fish; My guest ordered the sampler plate which was just raw seafood on ice – the menu didn’t say anything about that! It was assumed the fish would be cooked and warm and they didn’t even include the salmon, which was on the menu under this item. So he sent it back and reordered a chicken Caesar salad, which arrived at the table without the croutons, the menu indicated there would be croutons. Then in the middle of the meal he got a terrible stomach pain. Then I couldn’t even use my coupon because I ordered off the “sunset” menu. Needless to say we will not be going back, but on the plus side there is a wonderful view of the Columbia River – if you can stomach the bad food and service.
- Pros: Great View, Free Parking
- Cons: Rude Staff, Misleading Menu

Disappointing
by msflwrr
We were not impressed. The service was inept and the server was inexperienced and had no table side training. the food was good, but lukewarm, as was the coffee drink from the bar. Overall a disappointing meal, especially for the prices charged. Our waitress needed lessons on which vegetable was which. Asked what the veg. was and was told it was asparagus. Turns out it was broccolini, which I am allergic to. Had to return the entire plate and wait for a second one, causing my partner to eat without me, so her food would not get cold. (it was already lukewarm upon serving) We also felt as if we were being rushed out, with the waitress taking extra glasses in the middle of our meal, and snatching up the check the very moment I had it on the table. Probably would not reccomend this for a "date" or a special occasion kind of place.
- Pros: Nice atmosphere, though a little noisy
- Cons: Wait staff needs some real training. Food should be hot.

Vancouver Fight Club

People get too drunk and fights break out. Fights can be unprovoked. We quit going because it didn't feel safe anymore. We will never go back there.
- Pros: Can be fun. Good music.
- Cons: Too many fights.
