Bow & Stern Abbotsford

Shakira at Bow & Stern is amazing!
She was incredibly friendly from the moment we sat down, and her energy made the whole experience feel welcoming and relaxed. She checked in on us often without ever being intrusive, always making sure we had everything we needed. Her attentiveness, genuine smile, and great service really stood out.

Always love it here. Can be a bit loud at times.

We chose Bow & Stern for our 5th wedding anniversary dinner and we were incredibly happy that we did. Our server was super sweet and friendly and the food was absolutely delectable!! My husband started with a cup of the chowder and I with a small ceasar salad. For our mains I had the seafood linguine and he had the Arctic char with risotto. Both were cooked perfectly, very flavorful and filling! Highly highly recommend!

5 stars for the amazing service for Shania! From the moment we showed up (half our party was very late) she was friendly, understanding and attentive. She went above and beyond for our family. We were all delighted about the high level of service she gave us! Thank you Shania!

We came for a big family dinner & our server Shania was wonderful! She went above & beyond with my 3 kids. 2 of my kids could not have the ice cream dessert that comes with the kids meals so she improvised & made them a fun slushy/shaved ice dessert instead. 10/10 service by Shania!

Delicious delivery from the Bow & Stern, Abbotsford! The Prawn & Avocado Cobb Salad was incredible: fresh, crunchy greens, jammy eggs, and the prawns were perfectly grilled. The Signature Cod and Chips were also good. That salad though...yum!!!

Brunch was delicious. My husband daughter and I shared the platter. Highly recommend.

Our other daughter had the eggs Benny and really enjoyed that as well.

Our Server Paige was great didn't hound us and stopped by at the right times for refills.

We have come her a few times before for dinner and have always left happy and full.

Will return again for brunch and dinner .

Delicious and fresh seafood. The starter lobster dip is to die for. I had the wild salmon as my main and it was a a delight. Definitely would reccomend!

Nice decor and service was alright but the food left you wanting. We ordered the lobster dip which had large chunks of lobster in it. Unfortunately you couldn't taste it and the dip was bland with little to no taste. The crab cakes were better but again for a seafood restaurant the flavor of the seafood was covered up by sauces that didn't allow you to enjoy the beautiful salmon. The oysters were the best part of the meal. They were fresh tasty and delicious.

Hubby and I went for the first time recently and it will also be the last. The service was the worst part, although the food was not great either. Without any appies, desert or delays in ordering we were there for 2 hours! People seated after us ate well before us for no observable reason. At some point the manager must have realized the issue so came over to chat but only made things worse. There was no real explanation given other than being told the kitchen was chaotic and salmon takes a long time (in a seafood restaurant)! We were offered a dessert which we declined as we don’t eat dessert and no other attempt was made to rectify the issue. The meals were ok when they finally arrived although not great - bland, vegetables quite undercooked and the chowder tasted straight out of a can. Not a crucial detail, but weirdly the forks are so skinny the food kept falling off 😂

Had the Clam Chowder. Excellent flavour but was only warm and not when delivered. The Poké Bowl was really good
