review of Shady Island Seafood Bar and Grill...
	Shady Island Seafood Bar and Grill Steveston Village/Richmond, British Columbia Canada Review by darrylf -- Posted On 01/28/2008 Atmosphere: 5 Food: 5 The chowder is the best I have ever had. Gay-Friendliness: 5 With the food and location how could it not be. Location: 5 It is right on the water. Menu: 5 Price/Value: 5 Service: 4 The place can get pretty busy sometimes. Overall: 5 General Review: I have eaten at this restaurant several times. It is probably my favorite in all of BC if not Canada. My favorite menu item is Mama's Award Winning Seafood Chowder. It is loaded with delicious fish and seafood in a delicate tomato and cream broth. It has a small kick to it so I wonder it there might be a little cayenne pepper in it as well. You can get it as an entree in a bread bowl if you want. I have also had the PEI Mussels which are great and the Jambalaya is as good as I have had even in New Orleans. The view is amazing, the building is right on the boat docks. That area of BC is the backdrop for a number of CW network shows. In fact I recognized the main drag in an episode of Supernatural. So keep an eye peeled for some of the hottie network stars. I wonder if Jared Padlecki or Jensen Ackles like chowder? LOL.
