    Oddfish is AMAZING!!! We were in Vancouver 7 years ago on our honeymoon and had a very memorable experience at Oddfish. When we were back this year on my birthday, we decided to celebrate again at Oddfish. It was definitely one of the best dining experiences I've ever had, and I've been fortunate enough to eat in many wonderful restaurants around the world. I would highly, highly recommend Oddfish.

    Oddfish has the best ceviche. It’s such a treat to sit at the bar enjoying a ceviche, beet salad and a glass of Lambrusco. Awesome.

    Very unfortunate that such a great restaurant has such poor customer service. We ordered a kids butter pasta which our daughter loved, we also ordered the branzino and fries. The fish was delicious but the fries were ok- a little soggy, and we also ordered the fish of the day and a side of carrots to go with it. The waiter didn’t put the order in for the fish of the day so my husband was left with no dinner. We were being patient and waited and waited. Once we asked how much longer until he receives his fish, since we were almost finished with our dishes, we were confronted with a “YOU DID NOT ORDER IT”. The manager came out and was defending the waiter and saying it was our fault and that we didn’t order the fish when we all know that we did. You just don’t argue with your customers like that.. that’s just not professional service. They did offer to bring the fish out at the end of our dinner which we refused because my husband didn’t want to be eating and be watched while we were all done already. Not a pleasant experience. We asked for the meal to be comped for the big inconvenience and they refused. We loved this restaurant and have been there many times, but after being treated that way especially by upper management, we will choose another place next time.

    always a great expense, other than the very noisy ladies next to us that made it difficult to hear each other.

    What made our experience great was our server, Benny. Two members of our group had numerous dietary requirements and Benny was extremely patient and helpful. Every item we ordered was delicious, including the cocktails. We were seated on the heated terrace and were quite comfortable. Our only note is that the noise level made conversation a bit difficult. Still, I’d be delighted to return here again and again.
