Buena música y buen ambiente
The service staff seemed undertrained, which made the overall experience frustrating.
Good food and amazing views from this restaurant. Waiter was amazing as well.

Cardero's Restaurant is a popular dining spot in Coal Harbor, known for its delicious food, friendly staff, and beautiful views. Customers enjoy outdoor deck seating with stunning views of the harbor. The Signature Cedar Plank Salmon remains a favorite, described as "out of this world tasty," with many also loving the Thai chili prawns. The restaurant offers a variety of desserts, including the ice cream lemon curd dessert, and unique drinks like "The Joker," a purple-colored gin tonic. The staff, especially Ashley and Shawn C., are praised for their care, honesty, and warm hospitality—making guests feel welcomed, even accommodating emotional support animals with kindness. The fish “salmon” is cooked perfectly—crisp on the outside and tender inside—and the lamb is flavorful and fall-apart tender. The atmosphere is relaxing and inviting, with live music adding to the ambiance without overpowering conversation. Guests often remark on the warm, attentive service and the consistently fresh, beautifully prepared food, from seafood to wood-fired dishes. The relaxed waterfront setting, with marina views that feel uniquely Vancouver, makes every visit enjoyable whether for a casual meal or a special occasion. Overall, Cardero’s provides excellent food, attentive service, and a welcoming environment, making it a great choice for both casual visits and special events.
