My great parents for lunch in shady island. it was only about half the capacity, and yet it took an hour to get our food. I understand that restaurants are busy, maybe the kitchen was behind it. my grandparents starved, so I decided to just ask what was going on. When I asked our server, she grabbed me and said, “Can’t you see how busy it is? You can wait.” and went away. She didn’t even tell us a word after this exchange. no word. it left me speechless. regardless of food quality, we will never return there again. it was absolutely embarrassing to take my grandparents there, and that's not the first time that this happened. they plan 2 hours if they plan to eat here for the service.

It seems that it is impossible to get good fish and chips in these days, even here where it was always good to visit for some. the portions were in order, but the quality was best bad. if I suspect it was frozen precoated. fish, like what she would get from a Hyliner package, even the taste was so off that it was like fish that was in the freezer too long.

On Aug.1 I took my girlfriend for the first time in steveston village when she had never visited richmond so new to Canada. we went on the coast and went into this facility, we waited a few minutes without recognition, we went on...inside amd approached the first server we saw and asked if it was ok to sit on the table on the terrace we had seen from the way. to my surprise and my unbelievable was her answer quietly rude and abrasiw. we were asked to go outside and wait for a hostile at the door. in my many years of hospitality management, this is a first I have experienced. I've been sitting on tables in restaurants and I've never been asked to go outside and wait for a host. the server body language and negative attitude tells me only that if it isn't her job to sit her then wait outside very unprofessional for such a simple question. definitiw not my first choice at the next visit in steveston village.

I really like the menu options split between fish and seafood, burgers, pasta and Thai. There was a fish hotspot and warm seafood salad at our table. Plus fish and chips and some a Thai wings. Great service and cold beer, too.
