I recently visited while in town from Victoria, joined by a friend who lives in Vancouver, and we ended up having one of the best service experiences I’ve had in a long time. Our server, a cheerful blonde with a fantastic personality, absolutely made the visit.
The food was impressive, but her service pushed the whole experience to another level. At one point I mentioned a blue drink I’d tried years ago. She didn’t miss a beat: checked with the bartender, came back with it, and placed the most delicious version of it right in front of me. Fast, friendly, and completely on the ball.
Top-notch service from start to finish. She turned an already great meal into a memorable afternoon.

We were celebrating a birthday. When we arrived the server noticed that I had a birthday cake. She mentioned that the restaurant has a policy of charging $20.00 for cake cutting service. We agreed since we had no choice. The birthday cake was brought to our table when we were ready along with forks & plates. However, there was no knife to cut the cake. We found a dinner knife with the forks & started to cut the cake. I tried getting someone to bring us a knife but it so long that we struggled & managed to serve the cake. I mentioned it to the manager but he said sorry about not getting a knife to cut the cake & that the restaurant has a policy of charging because it cuts into the restaurant's revenue. He also said that he would let the staff know that they should supply a knife. I thought the restaurant should have waived the charge.

I've been here many times and the food and staff are pretty solid. The patio needs to be updated as the last time I went, rain water would drip from the sides onto some pipes and splash on us and the food. Maybe avoid sitting in the indoor patio during a downpour but good nonetheless.

We are visiting from the U.S.A. and came here at the recommendation of the hotel manager. Our server, Annabelle was friendly, efficient and patient with the kids. The food was fresh, fantastic and exactly what we were looking for. Lastly, the view over the water made the rest of the experience. Thank you, Flying Beaver Crew!

Awesome food and location is great. Service was slow but very much expected because it was a busy Saturday evening. Parking is a small hassle but not that bothersome. Food was well worth it

It is a hidden gem!!! A little far from us, but easy to go using public transportation: Skytrain and buses . The service offered by Breanna C was excellent, fast, friendly, courteous and the best, very professional!! The culinary is very delicious and well presented in generous portions!. Prices a very affordable and the menu has a great variety of options . We started with cider and Caesar and appetizer a delicious mushrooms soup . Later we asked an exquisite penne with chorizo and prawns and a Hawaiian pizza . All was very delicious!!! It was the first time but for sure not the last.

Probably the worst pizza I’ve ever had, the drinks tasted like syrup and were too sweet. Also the service was super slow even for a Wednesday, a lot of the staff was just wandering around not knowing what to do and neglecting most of the customers.
It was our first time here, and we realized that we missed a lot by not coming sooner. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was excellent—high quality with generous portions. A special thanks to Ali and Luca for their friendly service and happy energy. Great people, great vibes—we’ll definitely be back!

After moving away from the Vancouver area, Flying Beaver was one of those restaurants that I missed so much.
It was so nice to revisit and enjoy once again! We got the fish tacos and blackened chicken. Both were delicious!
I love to watch the seaplanes take off and land while enjoying my time here. Highly recommended!
