We were grateful they were able able to fit in our group of 7 in on a busy Saturday night! The decor is beautiful and the drinks were excellent. However, parents should be aware that this isn’t a very kid-friendly setup. There are no highchairs, and since there is no kids' menu, we had to order off the main menu for our toddler.
Paying $17 for chicken tenders plus $4 for fries ($21 total) just to feed a small child is pretty wild. The food tasted good, but the value just wasn't there for a family outing. Also, vegetarian options are very limited. Great spot for a date night or drinks with friends, but I wouldn’t recommend it for those with little ones in tow.

Not great for people with allergens, as I ordered a steak, asking it to be made gluten-free, and they still add breaded onion rings to it. Also, it gets a bit loud at times, so hard to have longer conversations.

We had a delicious meal with a diverse range of appetizers and main courses. The food was well prepared with fresh ingredients. The deserts were also well done - the carrot cake was particularly tasty.
The atmosphere is a bit noisy with a large crowd.
We’d go again.

The bolognese says it has beef and pork, but unless you have a magnifying glass you won't see any meat. Its spaghetti noodles with a few shreds of meat barely big enough of the eye to see

Christmas dinner: stringy pulled turkey under a small piece of breast meat. No stuffing, virtually no gravy. The crab cake starter was good, the pecan slab OK. Service very good but i was very disappointed with my turkey dinner.

The disco music is horrific if you look at the crowd it's over 50. The food is fabulous. Adam is an incredible chef, but it's hard to eat there and relax. We just eat as fast as we can and get the hell out of there.

The location and service is great, but the food was less than satisfactory.
I ordered a burger. When a burger cost nearly $20, I would imagine it will have a lightly toasted bun ,juicy patty , while the cheese melts in your mouth. I was able to get the complete opposite. I ordered 'from the late night menu and we were the only table.
The item on the menu descibed the burger as :
fresh chuck ground in-house – secret sauce – red onion – lettuce – american cheese – fries
but what was received was 2 pancake slices of crispy smash patty. There was no lettuce or cheese .. ...i substituted the fries for salad and used the lettuce from the salad in the burger.
This was not the most disappointing part. The salad was soggy and is brown on all corners. The taste reminded me of a prepackaged salad that is on clearance from a grocery market or under a lamp for a long time.
Becasue we got off the ferry , i was really hungry and consumed the burger .. the salad i cannot continue and ended up going to subway down the street to complete my hunger crawl.
Oh. The beeer was also great.
I understand it was late at night, but I dont think the items should be served .

Nice spot to have a drink and dinner. Our drinks were good (martinis and beer/wine), but the food was a mixed bag. The muscles and clams were excellent, but fish and chips were bad (actually an embarrassment by BC standards) - over fried and a small, overcooked piece of halibut. I would go back, but avoid the fish&chips

Food is fine but experienced terrible service in the cafe. The person working was short with me and after asking for my sandwich to be warmed up, she gave me a cold sandwich because she waited to wrap it and give it to me while helping other people. Mind you, they were not short staffed as there were two other people standing behind the till. Super disappointing!
I tried to eat here several weeks ago on the patio. I had my three month old with me in a compact Nuna stroller. The host, was not friendly and told us we could not bring the stroller into the restaurant patio and it would have to be placed outside the restaurant on the sidewalk!!! My stroller is expensive, why would I leave it on the sidewalk where it could be stolen?! I have never felt so discriminated against in my life as a mother with a baby. No other restaurant has had an issue with a stroller just your restaurant!! There was plenty of room on the patio with the stroller placed up next to the table. I went to the Sidney Bistro where I had a lovely meal and the hostess there never brought up our stroller being an issue on the patio and enjoyed seeing my baby! Your restaurant openly discriminates against families! Do better!

Wow! This must be a horrible place to work because their employees are miserable. I give the whole experience a big fat ZERO! We regret not walking out just based on the man greeting you at the door. Very rude and immediately showed us what a burden we were even though the restaurant was 1/2 empty .The nachos had one clump of cheese on the top three chips and that was it. Lip stick on the glasses 🥴We never saw hide nor hair of our waitress. she didn’t even come to see how our meal was. Never offered another drink ! nothing. would never go back, which is too bad because their location is fantastic. Too bad a great restaurant wasn’t located there.

Wow! Probably the best panini sandwich I have ever had! Also my wife had a huge chicken wrap that she loved. Great breads and coffee also.

The food was fantastic, the view was gorgeous. The service was friendly, and our server was super sweet. We almost didn't try here because of some complaints on Google, so I wanted to share our experience. I feel some areas of improvement needed here are the time it takes to get a menu and drinks, and you should always be given salt and pepper (or it should be on table already), not have to get up and ask for it. If it was really busy, that is understandable, but this was at 1130am on a Monday. It was quiet. Would still come back as these things (that others also pointed out) are easily fixed with awareness and training. The food, location, and friendliness are plenty of reasons to come back. :)
