Popped in here for a late lunch & were lucky enough to get a nice table on the deck right by the waterfront. Our server was Mark who from start to finish was outstanding. I ordered the oysters to start which were a bit on the small side (but to be fair Mark was totally upfront about that) & they were delicious. For main course my wife & I had one of the daily specials, the halibut with small potatoes & seasonal vegetables. It too was delicious & our compliments/thanks to the chefs/kitchen staff for making it a really simple & straightforward meal to eat & enjoy. The halibut was cooked to perfection & the veggies were 2 of our favourites, carrots & broccoli. To balance it the butter sauce didn’t overpower the fish (a mistake so many restaurants seem to make these days with the variations they use!). Frankly, as we told Mark in the 4 weeks we’ve been in Canada this was our best meal!
Tip: Mark also explained that 75% of the tables are reserved for walk-ins which certainly goes someway to explaining why when we tried a couple of times to book online for dinner we couldn’t get a reservation! Had we known that we’d have eaten there every night!!

Beautiful views and great food! We were happy to enjoy deck seating.
We enjoyed the plank salmon and the Thai chili prawns and couldn't resist finishing with the ice cream lemon curd dessert... yummm!Ashley's attention, care and courtesy were excellent. We were visiting BC and she helped make it a really memorable dinner.

This was a fantastic culinary experience. Everything was perfect. Service was fast, attentive and very helpful. They provided a great experience. The food was exceptional. We had Meatballs for an appetizer, and Oysters and i had the Tuna. All were great. And the atmosphere was also amazing. We sat outside, it was raining yet we felt warm and could take in the Harbour. Wonderful views. A must visit when in Vancouver.

Such a gem in Vancouver! Some of the best and freshest seafood I’ve had and just overall an amazing menu. Great choices for non-fish folks as well. Homemade sauces and dressings, beautifully seasoned sides and friendly and attentive service. So impressed with this place!

One of the best meals we’ve had here in Vancouver. Try the pepperoni pizza as an appetizer for the table. Delicious! We had the New York strip steak and lobster and the Dragons Boat which was unique because it had homemade meatballs, bbq ribs and shrimp in a scampi sauce.
The service (Faaria) was incredible. We were able to walk here from the Westin Bayshore.
