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!

    Our food and drinks came at a moderate time. Our entire party didn’t show up till 10 minutes after our reservation, though we did have a friend hold down the table and order our drinks prior our arrival. The food came out nice and hot and delicious. The ambience is very nice (tad cold though, wear sleeves), saw the table next to ours get a cute little fondue. Great location and happy hour is a great bang for your buck. The only downside was it was quite hard to track down our server. Wasn’t too attentive. Although few times she did come by she came with a smile :)

    Really enjoyed the restaurant had the shepherds pie special which was 80% delicious potatoes and the rest was very little filling of lamb and peas. The ratio needs to be bigger on the filling but it was tasty. My server Lori was great.

    Very pleasant server and ambience. We ordered two salads. The quality of the food was good however the quantity for the price was skimpy.

    Was not busy during on a Saturday long weekend. Restaurant was less than half full. Service was great but the food took way to long to arrive. We waited close to 45 minutes for entree to arrive and it wasn't steak that needs time. Food was ok, wasn't great.

    Uninspired menu both food and wine. Service acceptable though salad forgotten and water was not refilled even once. We were one of 3 tables so not busy at all. Simple mussels and fries fresh and well repaired. We would not return.
