What Lucinda Lubowitz doesn't like about Water Street Cafe:
Food and service were good, but there was something I couldn't describe. Maybe because I was too tired to enjoy the restaurant in its completely after I was delayed by Air Canada 6 times in 20 minutes at my first day trip to Vancouver. A good place to dine and enjoy the view of the steam meter. View all feedback. What Serena Schaden likes about Water Street Cafe:
We were lucky to time it perfectly to get an outdoor table in the corner with a perfect view of the SteamClock. Then to top it off the food was amazing, not overly priced and the service was great, attentive and helpful. I had the best gnocchi ever with mushrooms, truffle oil and chèvre! View all feedback.

Water Street Cafe in Vancouver's Gastown area offers a picturesque dining experience with views of the iconic SteamClock. While some diners experienced delays in service and disappointing dishes, others found the food to be delicious and the service top-notch. The Italian fare brings back memories of Italy, and the atmosphere is described as a must-visit when in the area. With a mix of positive and negative reviews, Water Street Cafe seems to be a mixed bag, but worth a visit for the overall experience.
