I have added a google review. We chose Dockside Restaurant to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, seeking a calm, romantic spot with exceptional food. From drinks and starters to main courses and desserts, everything was outstanding, showcasing fresh ingredients and thoughtful preparation. The menu isn't overwhelming, which helps maintain the high quality and rich flavors of each dish. Their extensive halal options make it a hidden gem for diverse diners. The staff were warm and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. The beautiful waterfront view adds to the ambiance, making it ideal for special occasions or a relaxing meal. Their happy hour offers great deals on creative drinks, making it a perfect time to visit early. 😉We're already planning to return for breakfast on their patio to enjoy both the delicious food and serene scenery. Highly recommended for intimate dinners and memorable celebrations.

Beautiful location, loved looking out over the water. Food was very good and good sized portions. Service was nice and attentive. Overall love coming to this restaurant for special occasions.

It wasn't very busy on the day I went so the service was great! It was my girlfriend's birthday and they gave her a little cake afterwards. Good food, good service, good environment. The view was great too.

I've been coming to your restaurant for years and years. I moved away and wanted to celebrate with my adult son and his partner. I was so disappointed I don't want to come back. The portions were scant, the flavour ok, the prices extraordinary, the service was less than I have come to expect in Whislter where I moved Value for money was disappointing. I love the view and ambiance and it's why I come. Plus I volunteer on the island as an ambassador. You do have a nice aquarium. I came for brunch at 11 and was told I couldn't have brunch. As we left at noon, a waiter was serving breakfast food to someone. I could comment more, but that's enough during my busy day back home. Disappointed overall and will try somewhere else next time

Had the wild salmon and cod-both flaky, fresh, and packed with flavor. City views were unbeatable, service was warm even on a busy night. Ignore the noise; Dockside’s still a Vancouver gem.

We had an abominable meal here on Sunday. The food was barely edible and the service was poor as there was only one server for the whole restaurant. We had the fixed price menu for $55 and those who ordered the salmon got a bland piece of fish and a terrible squash appetizer. The caesar salad was boring and over dressed. I had the a la carte steak with peppercorn sauce and I got a rubbery piece of meat with a terrible sauce. We honestly should have sent the entire meal back rather than paying the extremely overpriced check for the meal. Never returning for dinner. (we've had summery brunch here on the patio many times and it was decent)

First time coming here to have a birthday brunch celebration. The atmosphere was nice because of the view, food was decent but nothing special. Service was not as good as I was expected. Would rather go and spend special occasion somewhere worth the price.

Went for their happy hour menu after touring Granville Island. Early by about 10 minutes so had to wait until the official time of happy hour. Although fairly empty, the service was slow both in terms of our initial order and then a long wait to re-order. Food from the happy hour menu was good. Excellent views from our window seats.

We love coming here, especially during the Writers Festival- had a great afternoon sitting at one of the high tops talking about the panels we had attended and got some writing done ourselves.
Julie
Lovely lunch spot during the Writers Fest. Both meals were divine and the service was excellent.
The tomato soup and walnut, beet and pear salad were excellent. The steak was tough and fatty, and could not be cut with the steak knives provided although two knives were tried.

I would like to commend Dockside for great timely service for your customers attending scheduled events and to say how much I appreciate you giving a discount to those attending the Writers Festival. It creates a sense of community and support. I have eaten at Dockside twice in the last 5 weeks and was pleasantly impressed. I will do so again this week. Thanks for an enjoyable dining experience.

Came for the first time for thanks giving dinner. We ordered off the given menu and were extremely disappointed by the joke of a caesar salad and 2 tiny discs of turkey. The waiters have forgot 2 people’s orders and ignored requests for utensils.
The main reason for this one star review is after we paid the almost 1000+ dollar bill and left a considerable tip, we were continuously ignored by service and also have had a gift to my fiances stolen by one of the employees being 80 dollars crest whitening strips. We have called on 5 separate occasions from 3 different family members and the staff were rude and immediately hung up. I called just now and asked to speak to a manager before considering to write a review and got hung up on so fast the phone slammed so hard i heard the receiver click.
I will be escalating this further. Look around Granville and Downtown for infinitely better alternatives at this elevated price point. I have had better dining experiences at a tim hortons.

this place is a joke. servers ignored us and food was laughable. a family member’s gift of $80 white strips was accidentally left behind at the table and when we called to ask about it, we were hung up on by the extremely rude host. called again to ask to speak to a manager and was again, hung up on. seriously consider your customer service skills and learn how to handle situations like this.
