Do not recommend for food. We ordered two cod sandwiches with fries. Our order was messed up and they brought out two cod fillets with fries. It was already extortionately expensive ($60 cad for two fillets, fries, and two drinks) so we decided to cut our losses and eat the wrong order. They realized their mistake and brought out only one sandwich to comp it. The food itself was just not great, the cod was rubbery inside and the fries were basically cold when we got them. For that price, it’s actually criminal. Many other delicious places in Granville Island to enjoy.

We paid 18 each, for chicken sandwiches, no sides, a total rip off. The sandwiches might have been the worst we have ever had. Too greasy, chicken pieces way too big, soggy, and the spicy flavor was a 10 out of 10 for heat, extremely hard to eat as your mouth is on fire. I mean come of chef, they are horrible sandwiches. Also the fries were $6.50 each, for about the size of a medium fries at McDs.

Can’t comment on the ice cream, but do not get the chicken sandwiches or fries, simply way too over priced and they sucked to boot.

Beer was good though and the server was helpful.

Was excited to have a crispy chicken burger. Sadly it had to be one of the worst presented and worst structured chicken burgers ever. Tasted okay to start. Ended up throwing out given the bun was completely mushy and the chicken felt undercooked. Save your $20.

The food was delicious. The cream puffs on the ice cream are unnecessary, it’s better without them. The Irish server was fantastic, as well another staff, but the other one was quite terrible (we went multiple times). The view is absolutely gorgeous.

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free fish and chips! As well as other options.

Kid-friendliness: It has a fun vibe and ice cream, kids love it.

Fish and chips were solid ? Both were nicely seasoned and the fish was buttery on the inside, and perfectly crispy on the outside. I liked the bit of herbiness in the batter.

Just a grab n go. Picked up the barista puff cream. Felt very light and perfect amount of sweetness. Nice to enjoy by the waterfront

The Barista flavour was great. Soft serve ice-cream wasn't too sweet and complimented the toppings.

Review for the cream puff soft serve ice cream!
Couldn't decide between the Barista (espresso and turbinado sugar crumb and Ecuadorian cocoa), Turkish Delight (pistachio crumb and saffron syrup) the Old Fashioned (house made sea salt caramel and toasted almonds). I really appreciated the cashiers honesty in describing which one I should get. I wanted one that wasn't too sweet. I chose the old fashion a great in between sweetness. For the price and the size there could of been a bit more. Took off a few points for that. But will be back to try the other two flavors I was contemplating about! As well to try the food menu.

Umm the chicken sandwich was literally the worst thing I’ve ever eaten. I always finish my food and I was super disappointed that I was unable to do so. It was extremely greasy, I think my arteries are clogged after eating half of it. I’m super disappointed … I’ve never eaten anything so greasy in my life.

Burger was flavourless. Neither juicy nor with good grill char. Sauce wasn't flavorful enough. The burger felt like it was missing something, probably love. The burger was wet, but not juicy or saucy. I think the burger is made from frozen. Skip this place for burgers at all costs. - Senior Burger Club
