  • 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!

    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!

    The ambiance and location of the restaurant is great. The food we had was okay but not stellar. I think the chef was trying too hard to be cutting edge and over-complicated his recipe and presentation. Fish was borderline over-cooked. Server was hard to find and not particularly helpful.
