Food was pricey and a little bland but the environment is gorgeous. I'd go for happy hour only.

The real star of the show was the food and atmosphere. The food was delicious and not overly spiced. We had the Bayou Pasta, calamari, and chicken pasta. All the dishes were absolutely delicious. They make their fruit lemonade with real fruit as well, so that was a treat.The view on the river must be absolutely wonderful in summertime. You can see seals in the river during March, and lots of them! The Riverwalk in the area would be great as well. Definitely recommend and willing to return to this restaurant.

Great food on the waterfront. Their parmesan crusted sole is spectacular and my go-to meal. The calamari is also amazing. Nice outdoor seating and indoor seating with views of the river.Parking: Paid parking across the street. It can be difficult to find nearby parking during busy hours.

Great place for lunch/dinner at the water front. My family and I stopped by for lunch and were greeted instantly with a smile. Our server was extremely kind and was very patient with our kids/order. Service was a little slow at moments but overall a great lunch. Highly recommend the fried chicken sandwich! Kids loved the fish and chips.

If Vancouver has a tourist trap, this is it. Extremely disappointed with the quality of food and its preparation. I started out with the Calamari. For 18$ the dish was very bland, the jalapeño sauce had no flavor whatsoever. At this point, I should have canceled the rest of my order and settled the check. What followed was the Seafood Fettuccine and again, very bland. In all, the check was 70$ minus the tip. I will never go back and suggest to anyone reading this to do the same.

Great food and wait staff, just seem a little understaffed so be prepared and understandingParking: There is a lot of parking but it’s the waterfront so it gets busy quick

We had a reservation at 6 we arrived 5 mins early to check in and then waited until 15mins after our reservation to be seated. The restaurant was very busy our server did a good job the drinks and apps were very good. The steak was cooked to temp however it had a very burned flavor the flavor of a steak that was left in a greasy grill flare up & the scallops were very over cooked & rubbery. I may go back to visit the bar however. I have been here for dinner at least 6 times and it is just never very good.

Food was great Cool Place. Parking is a struggle so plan ahead of reservation time. And if you want horseradish with your steak make sure its made prior to ordering. We asked 4 times server did his best but cooks didn't care steaks were gone by the time it showed up.
The employees went out of their way to give me an amazing experience! I have food allergies, and they were so kind and accommodating. The food was great and the atmosphere was very welcoming.

The server was friendly and attentive. The food and drinks took way too long to get to our table. The food was pretty good but way too expensive for what we got. The potatoes were not seasoned or buttered or anything just dry baby potatoes. The chared brussell sprouts were also bland not much seasoning or flavor. The steak was cooked perfect and seasoned pretty well. The cocktails were made good but way too expensive $17.00 is too much for a regular cocktail.
My Ribeye was OK at best. Too thin and dry. Service was great, as was the atmosphere, but I probably won't be going back.

Great spot on the waterfront to bring people- or to go with my fam- or just the two of us. I love the beet salad and the steak entree was delicious. My Moscow mule was weak but it was tasty!

The atmosphere was lovely. We had a window seat with a view of the river. The food was outstanding in taste and presentation. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely come back again.

Enjoyed a lovely brunch with a girlfriend yesterday. Ample seating, excellent views of the Columbia, wonderful seafood options, delicious beverages and unique dishes to choose from.
I have been here multiple times and each time the experience gets worse. I have had the waiters forget to put in my toddlers order, even though I asked for it to be put in before we ordered. I have been served frozen bread, and the fish tacos are terrible! Not sure what has happened, but this place used to be fantastic, but now, I'd give it just under fair these days.
