Wildtale Yaletown

This place has one of the best happy hours around & their buck a shuck oysters are wonderful! Their Lobster Rolls could use a bit more filling, but the rolls themselves were definitely the star of the dish. The Parmesan Fries were delicious, love the way they bake the Parmesan onto the fries so they don't fall off when you pick up the fry. The Coconut Fried Shrimp were large succulent pieces that were fried to perfection & the mango chutney added just the right amount of sweetness. The Fresh Seafood Ceviche was just that fresh & refreshing. The only reason I didn't give them 4 stars though was their dessert was very underwhelming. We ordered their chocolate cake & we didn't enjoy it. The icing had a funny flavour & the cake itself was dry. It tasted like an amateur baked it, definitely not something you would expect from a restaurant of this calibre. The service & the drinks were great. Overall, I would definitely come back to this restaurant, but I would probably pass on the dessert.

Appetizers were great. Main meals were late and was just ok. We were a group of 6 and everyone thought that the food wasn't amazing but some thought that the lobster Gnocchi was good. The atmosphere is fun and the restaurant is in the heart of Yaletown.

My friend and I came here for buck a shuck happy hour. The oysters did not taste fresh, and had a bad aftertaste to them. We also ordered the Truffle fries which tasted fine, in fact they were very good ! I also ordered fish tacos and my friend ordered the tuna for happy hour. Both tasted great! I would not recommend people come here for oysters as they were not fresh, no exaggeration even after having dessert at another restaurant we still had a fishy taste in our mouth.

Came in with my wife during the Taste of Yaletown event which offers a fixed price for 3-4 course meal. There was a good amount of selections in the menu plus we made it for Happy Hour so that was nice for drinks. Everything turned out very appetizing visually and taste wise. They were always willing to offer pepper. They did check in after each bite which I guess is courtesy for some who actually expect that? I'd prefer just to eat uninterrupted but oh well. Atmosphere was cozy but lively because you can see the action in the kitchen unfold and everyone seemed to be working well together. I will be back try other stuff because I think I've only scratched the surface.

Our dear friend Ken took us to this place for happy hour. Yaletown has so much going on, it’s so hard to pick, so we were happy he chose. I’m not quite sure how to review this, except by saying, we had a wonderful time. I say that because we didn’t order anything specific aside from the drinks. It was happy hour and the menu was chock full. Our friend spoke to the owner (his friend) and he agreed to just bring us out something awesome. First thing was the chef’s refreshing take on tuna tacos/tostitos. I didn’t catch the name, but they were a clever fusion of Asian and Mexican styles. Then we had a seafood platter, that had these crab and shrimp sandwiches (hope I got that right!) in a split toasted bun, wonderfully prepared baked mussels, perfect coconut shrimp on a bed of purple slaw, served with grilled bread wedges. Service was personable, the mixologist made a special drink for our new friend Suki, and we simply had a great time. Would love to come back and try all their offerings. Kudos to the team at WildTale! We are thankful for the experience. 🤙🏼🥠 Ps. The Gin-T’s were fantastic!

Had a fantastic meal there but the service could have been better. We were talking to the waitress about oysters and ordered a few kinds, kushi being one of them as it's a favorite of ours. But when the oysters came, none of the varieties were kushi and then we were told that kushis were not being sold at all because of a contamination problem at the time. Almost all the oysters that I had had bits of shell in it. The rest of the food was amazing though. Our table had the sharing platter which came with rack of lamb, halibut, scallops, Mac and cheese, kale salad. We also ordered the papardelle, sablefish, tacos, ceviche. All the cooked food was delicious and treated with respect. When we were finishing our meal, we wanted to order take out. We discussed with another waiter at length about good options to take home but he forgot to punch in the order even though the restaurant was not that busy. We paid for the bill, waited and waited and waited until I think some staff was looking at us and wondering why we were still there, and we finally asked where the take out items were, they realized they haven't fired it at all. Overall, 4.5 stars for food but 3 for service, so a generous 4 star rating

Wild tale's Happy Hour. I would say Vancouver Restaurant is offering some good happy hour menu. Dish prices ranging from $6-$9 a plate. What I found interesting about wild tale happy hour menu is the 3 categories on the menu. I choose from the raw section as I was preparing myself for a big dinner. They also had the appetizer which consists of the braised meatball and salmon poppers. Then you have the steamer section which had clams and mussels. . Grilled Oyster with creole butter. I just wish I ordered more than one. The inside of this shell was pure oysters and no added items to it. Tuna Ceviche was pretty good, but wishing for more tuna to it . Buck-A-Shuck Oyster which changes daily based on what the restaurant receives that day. . Also kudos to the heated outdoor patio! Even if it's rain or snow. You can still have a great meal.

Amazing staff and incredibly good food. You get high quality seafood and a fancy yet comfortable atmosphere. The chocolate cake is HUGE and makes you so happy! Awesome place!
