    We dined at Fanny Bay Oyster around 8 PM and were seated promptly, but unfortunately, things quickly went downhill. It took about 10 minutes before our server acknowledged us, leaving us waiting without even a glass of water. When the clam chowder finally arrived, it was lukewarm, bland, and utterly forgettable. While the calamari was decent, it hardly redeemed the overall experience. For a restaurant with a Michelin recommendation, this visit was absolutely disastrous… a 2/5 experience at best.

    We had 2 dozen fresh oysters, 4 of them are fishy and not fresh, another 4 pieces got 4 tiny shells inside. We don't bother to order more. We used to order at least one dozen oysters per person. Lobster roll got way too much chopped raw onions inside to cover the lobster meat favorite. We like their lobster poutine with a lot of cheese and tiny thin sliced of lobster meat.

    Great, food, nice staff… but price a bit steep. We arrived just after happy hour so we missed the happy deals (2-6pm: oysters, drinks). We ordered “tapas” from the regular menu. For 2 people, we ordered a bisque, one plate of tacos, a plate of 5 bake oysters, 4 beers and 2 apple ciders. Total w tip was ~200$. I’ll come back but before 6pm …

    Abysmal service. Horrible lighting. The food was mediocre, at best. A server dumped a glass of red wine all over my dry clean only coat, and then we were basically ignored for the rest of the evening.

    The seafood is always exceptional. I really enjoyed trying some of the new items on the menu and the dessert was really a standout!! You definitely want to leave room for dessert!

    Absolutely fantastic experience at Fanny Bay Oyster Bar! The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The seafood was incredibly fresh and expertly prepared. From the oysters to the seafood plates, every bite was delicious. A must-visit spot for seafood lovers in Vancouver! My go to favorite for special occasions.

    I’ve had many visits here previously and always loved it, certainly it was one of my go to places. This visit was very different, the food and ambience had changed a lot, quality has really fallen off. Instead of wonton crisps for the tuna it was store bought tortilla chips, tuna tacos was just an ounce of flavourless fish slapped on a plate, portions were laughably small, mussels had just a slice of uncooked bread thrown on them. The floor was filthy, the lights were uncomfortably bright, music was loud, nothing about this visit was appealing outside of the friendly service. We left hungry and immediately went to a nearby restaurant for a proper meal which is crazy considering how much we spent.
