About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood 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!

There is a staffing problem in this place. The front desk staff were not friendly. We sat at our table for 15 minutes without a server coming by to acnowledge us and take our order. The restaurant waa not busy at the time. We left at that point so I cannot comment on the food.

We love this restaurant. Had lunch today to celebrate a birthday with 2 friends. Laurie was our waiter and he is a delight. He took such good care of us. Food was delicious. I had the seafood pasta which was very good but it could have used more sauce. I asked but was told it was not available. It was a lovely dessert that was provided for the birthday gal. Loved that Laurie asked her quietly if she would like the candle lit or not. She did!
