WildFin American Grill

WildFin American Grill is a great seafood restaurant located on the Vancouver, Washington Waterfront Trail. I am always a bit skeptical of 'chain' restaurants, so I must admit going into dinner with a bit of a bias against the restaurant, but that quickly faded away into a great experience and a really good meal. I was greeted by the hostess with a friendly smile and immediately shown to my table with no wait from my 7pm reservation time. I was sat by the window with a great view of the Waterfront Trail and the Columbia River. Cameron, my server, introduced himself and took my drink order. I ordered their barrel aged old fashion. I have become an old fashion snob lately. This old fashion was actually very good. What a great start! I was not sure about the Northwest Seafood Chowder, so Cameron offered to bring me a sample. Wow, that was really nice. One spoonful of that soup and I was hooked. It was one of the better clam/seafood chowders I have had, not including anything from Boston! The addition of white fish to the chowder really gave the chowder a great texture and flavor. I could have eaten 3 bowls of that amazingness! I love shrimp and love scallops even more; add garlic and I am hooked. I had to order garlic prawns and scallops. They came on a bed of fresh veggies. It was the perfect amount of food, not too much and not too little. The scallops were cooked perfectly. What a really nice meal. Overall, I had a wonderful meal with amazing service at Wildfin. It is for that reason that I am going to give them a 5-star review.

Vanesa did a great job tonight. Came here for an early dinner. Place was a bit slow upon our arrival at 5:00, by the time we left at 7:00, it was packed. We enjoyed the fondue and fish tacos. Craft cocktails, whisky sour and vodka martini. In addition, we enjoyed their IPA. Love the vibe! Great view. Fun music. Large bar with TV’s. Over all great experience!

Great seafood selections, and drinks. I had the mango spritzer, it's very refreshing. I didn't feel like having seafood so I had the cheeseburger and the patty was very thick and cooked to my liking, definitely recommend. My friend had the seafood Alfredo and said it was delicious. Theyt're bread is to die for as well. Had to wait for a long time to get our orders in but other than that, it was a good experience.
