Salmon House On The Hill

A family favorite restaurant for over 30 years. I have to admit that I have not returned here for a few years but my last visit a few days back brought back memories. The food was as good as I remembered and our server Christian was the best. We had the seafood tower, the risotto with yummy asparagus, the bread with salmon butter and desserts.

This is one of Vancouver's OG restaurants. Most days it has a great view. Contemporary West Coast cuisine with an emphasis on Alder grilled seafood. The seafood tower is a great shareable choice. The alder grilled salmon trio is a good sampler choice. They have an extensive wine list and the desserts are excellent

One of the best views in the city. Beautiful place. I'm a foodie and the mashed potato was my hit (and I'm not a big fan of potato!). Everything was incredibly delicious and the service impecable.

This place is amazing. One of the must go to, when having friends from abroad visiting.
The food is delicious, service outstanding and atmosphere really enjoyable.

A lovely restaurant and a great meal. It lives up to its name. Would be an amazing view in the daylight.

Had the salmon trio and it was excellent. I asked the waitress what the difference was between sockeye, coho, and chinook salmon and she gave a most excellent description, so I had to try all three. I have not had such a great meal and great service in a long time. Worth every penny. Would highly recommend.

Good food and a view to die for. Took my mom for her birthday and she was throughly please.

We went here for Valentine’s dinner it was amazing going to go again! Service was excellent. So happy we tried them out

Went here for Valentine’s dinner earlier this month. Others I spoke to have mentioned they’re quality has declined over the past years but I thought their longevity in the business was an indication they were doing something right so I gave it a try.
Set menu, $105 per person plus 18% gratuity plus tax. We were both quite disappointed. Food was salty, parts over cooked, and service was slow. I would have assumed that with a set menu they would be more dialed in, however service was also slow, with 15-25 min wait between after finishing each course. Not sure if gratuity auto built in was their excuse to offer sub par service but it was disappointing. Many other better options in the area; feels like they are using their past fame to deliver mediocre service in the present.

This is where you take them for Valentine's Day. The view is gorgeous. I asked for a change due to my diet and it wasn't an issue. Best service!

A unbelievable date location for those who enjoy seafood. We had the seafood tower and it was magnificent and basically a perfect amount of food if you go in hungry.

Excellent food, great ambience. Must try the salmon trio. The oysters are the best I’ve had.

One of my favorite seafood restaurant in Vancouver. Good food, good service and great view.

I've lived in the Fraser Valley for 42 years and this was my first time at The Salmon House. I've only ever heard great things, and they surely lived up to expectations. My son who is a picky eater loved his kids papperdelle. My husband and I shared the Clam Chowder, Dungeness crab and mushroom risotto, and of course, the Seafood Tower. The atmosphere is like no other. It is unique and gorgeous. The service was exceptional and our waitress was attentive.

Fantastisches Restaurant, fantastischer Blick auf Vancouver, fantastisches Essen. Besser hätte unser Hochzeitsmenü mit Freunden nicht sein können.

First, there is NO better view of the sunset then from this restaurant. It's too bad the outdoor patio was closed that evening. Second, the food is very good.not quite the quality for the price but almost. I would definitely return, but not my go to place unless I. Showing off the city.

I had not been here in a few years, and was terribly disappointed. I'd had such good memories of the dining experience at this restaurant from previous visits. My dinner was completely flavourless. Perhaps it was my mistake not to order salmon, or even seafood, the house speciality, but for the prices, one expects every main dish to be superb. The salmon sampler appetizer was shockingly tiny. Wine portions similarly skimpy. It was a very special occasion, and had made a reservation for a table by the window but were brought to the second row of tables. They had the usual pre-set tipping rates at 15%, 18% and 20 - tacky. You can't beat the location, the view, and the building's interior, but the food is something below mediocre, so I won't be back - for any occasion.

The food was delicious BUT- our meal was extremely rushed so we can't recommend it as a fine dining experience.
When we made the reservation we were told we would have the table for 2 hours, but they rushed us out in less than an hour.
First of all, our cocktails, starter & appetizer arrived at the same time. We tried to savour our way through the started (before our cocktails got warm and the appetizer got cold), only to have them try to clear our plates before we were finished (in fact I still had clams in my dish & a fork in my hand).
Moments after we finish our starter/appetizer, our entrees arrived (ahead of the wine we ordered to enjoy with our dinner). Again, they tried to clear my plate before I was finished (I was literally still chewing). It's extremely irritating to have to swallow food quickly in order to keep them from taking your meal.
Then, as soon as the entree plates were cleared, the waitress arrived with the dessert menu. We still had half a bottle of wine left, so we passed on dessert and got our bill before we finished our wine. The entire dinner was pushed through in 45 minutes. We barely had time to talk, let alone take in the view or properly enjoy our meals.
We were there for a special occasion and as delicious as the food was, it was a very disappointing dining experience.
What a waste of a good view and a good chef!

Excellent food, especially fish, prepared in delicious menus, very experienced and friendly staff and a nice view of Vancouver are the perfect ingredients for a great evening.

This crab dish was absolutely amazing and a hit with the kids. It is expensive to eat here but a treat for yourselves once in a while.
