Great location and very popular all the time. Mobbed on weeknights too! Chef's Specials offered were tasty. Full wine and cocktail offering too. Wish they sautéed garlic more for wok squid. Too much of it was raw and hard on the palate and stomach for rest of the night. Service is slow given mobbed with diners. They really need more waitstaff to keep up.

We wanted to eat somewhere nice for my wife's bday. So glad we found this place! It was pretty busy, but it didn't take long to be seated. Our waitress was so nice! The pork chop and salmon were both amazing! We weren't expecting the complimentary bday dessert. I think that says a lot about a restaurant that does that. This is the kind of experience that makes me rethink some of the other 5-stars I've given. I want to give Cardero's more than 5.

I passed by this restaurant a few times since my hotel was right down the street so we finally decided to grab dinner here the last night before leaving. They were very busy even around 7 PM. Our estimated wait time was 1 hour but we were seated in about 40 minutes or so. Service: Sam was our server and she was super friendly and attentive. We were fighting for the bill at the end and she kept her promise and gave it to the first person that asked. Food: We ordered the following: * dragon boat - the meatball in this dish was not too impressive but the bbq ribs were delicious. * dockside - we really enjoyed the oysters in this and ended up ordering more oysters on the side. The mussels were tiny though. * caesar salad * smoked salmon pizza

Quaint, dim light, seafood restaurant located right on the pier downtown Vancouver with a beautiful view of the marina! Ordered alder plank grilled king salmon! It was served with a delicious tamari (aka soy sauce) marinade, fresh vegetables and fingerling potatoes! Definitely recommend! Our server was very helpful in explaining how the food was prepared and suggested we order the peanut butter cheese cake - which was absolutely devine! The restaurant was decorated with small Christmas trees and has a real fireplace in the bar area making it the absolute perfect location for a romantic waterfront dining experience! Don't miss it if you are in the area! Pro tip: be careful not to park illegally. The police regularly patrol and tow cars, unfortunately.

This restaurant has a great waterfront location. It was busy at 6:30pm on a Friday but we were able to get a table for 2 right away in their bar area. It's a very dimly lit space, but they do have a sconce at every table for lighting. The rest of the decor is very cool with rustic nautical vibes. They have a nice looking outdoor space as well, but I believe they were closed for a private event while we were there. We really enjoyed our food and drinks- the warm olives were my favorite- and they had hockey and baseball on the tvs in the bar area to watch. The service was a bit on the slow side, especially when it was time to cash out, but overall we had a nice experience.

After walking around Stanley Park staring at boats and sea life. One can get a little famished on the way back to the hotel. So we decided to stop by Cardero's in Vancouver, British Columbia. I mean, if you're this close to sea water. It's only proper to eat something that comes out of it ya kno. So let's get started shall we. First up is the Mussels. That coconut curry is a sublime combination. Rich and delicate with the seafood taste of the mussels. 8.7/10 For the my main Event I went with the BC Halibut. The fish the veg were a little underseasoned. The beurre blanc was low key underwhelming. The rice however was the plate's saving grace. 7.3 should be fair right? Anyways, the atmosphere was very pleasant. The service was top notch and I would definitely recommend this place for casual lunch or evening dindin.

Cardero's is ideally situated overlooking the marina. It's much nicer inside than the pictures convey. Since it's always packed in the evening we decided to go for Sunday lunch, and it was delightful. We shared the rather massive dockside platter, which included 12 oysters, 12 clams, 12 mussels, 6 prawns, a whole Dungeness crab, ahi tuna tataki, salmon poke, miso-ginger vinaigrette, red wine mignonette, cocktail sauce, and fresh grated horseradish. Everything was great. My wife loved the oysters, and I loved the clams and mussels. The crab was a bit of work, but worth it. There's a nice wine list (no bargains). Service and the entire staff were very friendly and welcoming. A great place for seafood, and to enjoy the view.

We could see this restaurant from our hotel window! We could not get a reservation, however, we were able to walk in and we were seated on the patio immediately! The place is always packed and for good reason! Salmon, shrimp and scallops, all great choices! The potatoes were ok. If you're down by the waterfront, check it out!
