First time here, and we loved it. Mel was our server and she was nice and just the right level of attentive.
We got the sizzling shrimp, roasted baby potatoes, and Sablefish. It was a great combination because we used the sauce from the sizzling shrimp to dip the potatoes as well as the bread which came with the shrimp.
The Sablefish was SOOOO tender and delicious, cooked perfectly!
There was a guy playing guitar at the bar, and we couldn't hear him at first but then a few rambunctious tables left and it was perfect.
I'd have shown pictures from the marina, but it was a dark and foggy night. I'm sure it's lovely when neither of those obscures our vision!

We always wanted to go to this place, and were not disappointed! Decoration is lovely and ambience and lights make it a really cozy experience. The dishes were wonderful, although some appetizers were a bit pricey. Only complaint was for our server; not once did they serve us our wine and we had to wait some 15 minutes for the check to arrive after we have asked.

This place was a nice surprise. We had reservations but it was crowded. They offered us a table in the bar, glad we accepted. Great views, great food, great live music, great wine, and great company. Our waitress was nice but not transparent about charges, offers to bring you more of something without informing you that there will be a charge. Added a food item to alcohol? Why? Anyways we still enjoyed ourselves.

Cardero’s absolutely delivered. The food was outstanding across the board—the signature salmon and sablefish dishes were incredible, perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the ribs were just off the chart. Tender, rich, and unforgettable.
What really pushed the experience over the top was the service. Huge shout-out to our server, Pete. He was amazing—attentive without hovering, genuinely friendly, and clearly knew the menu inside and out. He made the whole night feel relaxed and special.
Great food, great service, and a classic Vancouver waterfront vibe done right.
Cardero’s is the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit.

I could move to Vancouver just for this restaurant (might take me a while to cheer for the canucks) Came to Vancouver for my aunts funeral but my experience at this restaurant made this sad a time lighter. The food was out of this world and the staff were so kind. Oh and the location 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. This definitely won’t be my last time coming here and will be making this place my go to spot every Vancouver trip can’t wait to come back for more Cadero hospitality💖 love from Calgary
