About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
Located on the waterfront where Granville Island faces the city, guests can enjoy panoramic views across False Creek to the world-famous cityscape of Yaletown and beyond to the mountains of the North Shore.

The open dining room is relaxed yet refined, wrapped in spectacular floor to ceiling windows, while the lounge offers warm intimate surroundings for evening cocktails.

The award-winning seasonal patio (patio closed October to March) catches sunlight from morning to afternoon and is an oasis of calm, disturbed only by the occasional sound of boats making their way along False Creek.

Whether dining inside or outside the views are stunning!

    Everything was amazing from start to finish. Our server Lara was fantastic and knew the answers to everything we asked about menu items. Food was delicious from the tuna tataki to the mussels and frites and seafood pasta. All were to die for. Would definitely eat here again.

    Lovely employees. Service was attentive (one of our part asked for bread but I don’t think they understood what was asked - we didn’t get any). Food was ok. I had a dockside burger and the lettuce was a bit soggy and my burger on the well done side. Salads could have been dressed a bit better or the option of dressing on the side. Mussels were a hit! For sure I would come back. It’s beautiful!!

    A little chaotic. Took a long time to look for our reservation but eventually sited. There was only one waiter but almost 10 tables with ppl. A lot of helpers in taking food to the table but only one waiter taking orders. We are small party of 4 and ordered a beer which was forgotten. The Seafood platter was ok.

    Food was ok. Service was ok. Nothing spectacular. The only thing that wow’ed me was the price they charge for a cup of drip coffee ($6!) and you have to flag someone down for a refill.
