    Michelin Guide recommends this restaurant and so do I! The ambience, decor, and overall experience are perfect for date nights, birthdays, getting together friends and family. Service was outstanding! Careful and attentive, the folks just seem to pop out of nowhere seeming to know our needs ahead of time. And the food...my gosh the food was so good! We had started with the pescatarian board and the biggest, freshest Fanny Bay oysters I ever saw! The duck was presented to perfection and my partner's rib-eye steak was grilled with the right amount of smokey flavour that was out of this world. Will definitely be coming back here again!

    Every visit gets better. The new menu is as delightfully playful, balanced, and delicious as the last season with incredible additions such as the roasted carrots, beef cheek appetizer, and perfectly prepared seafood. It’s a special place to share with people you love.

    We were disappointed with our experience tonight and were surprised as we’d dined here before, several times. The menu changes from time to time, which we love. However, my husband is dairy free and there have always been options. Tonight, no accommodations were “possible” and the tofu meal was all off balance. Enough tofu to feed a family over a very small bed of noodles??? Prices have gone up and value for our meal isn’t there anymore. Service was great though.

    We had a great birthday dinner at Wildlight: the restaurant was busy at 7:15, when we came, but we got a nice patio table marked with Birthday card from Wildlight, enjoyed our food (delicious dishes and impressive presentation) and cocktails, and had a really cool Riverside Rock cake for dessert from Wildlight. Our server was amazing - she went above and beyond to make our celebration special. We keep coming back to Wildlight for our special dates - great atmosphere, amazing food, and excellent service ❤️👍

    Wonderful meal. Unique menu choices. Kudos to the chef. Our server was excellent. It was my birthday and the restaurant had a birthday card for me and a birthday dessert as well. Outstanding. We definitely will visit again.

    From the Interior of the restaurant, every dish that came out, and how it was served was nothing short of amazing!! One of my favourite places to eat in the lower mainland. Compliments all around!!! Will be back again & again.
