Flying Whale Waterfront Cafe — Restaurant in Vancouver

I visited the Flying Whale Café on a sunny Thursday afternoon in summer, and it turned out to be a delightful experience. Located right in front of FlyOver Canada at Canada Place, the café offers a relaxed waterfront vibe with stunning views, especially of the cruise ships docked nearby.

The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. Visiting in February, it seemed we just beat the rush, so I can only imagine it being very busy come...

Rotten customer service! I asked the older male server 'what kind of sandwiches are there?' He replied in a half growling like way 'look they are right there in front of you' pointing to the counter to some display only items of various foods. Only one of which was a grilled cheese sandwich. He did not have the courtesy or decency to just say what sandwiches were available. I don't mind paying premium prices in a prime location but I expect a certain amount of customer service and respect. I had no interaction with the other staff but only...
