Located on the waterfront where Granville Island faces the city, guests can enjoy panoramic views across False Creek to the world-famous cityscape of Yaletown and beyond to the mountains of the North Shore.

The open dining room is relaxed yet refined, wrapped in spectacular floor to ceiling windows, while the lounge offers warm intimate surroundings for evening cocktails.

The award-winning seasonal patio (patio closed October to March) catches sunlight from morning to afternoon and is an oasis of calm, disturbed only by the occasional sound of boats making their way along False Creek.

Whether dining inside or outside the views are stunning!

    Everything was great for our fondu dinner, and the service was excellent, but both desserts fell flat.

    It was super unclear that the only menu available for Feb 14th would be the Valentine's Day menu, which was $90 per person. I completely understand that the restaurant had a set menu as it was a busy night, but no where was this stated, and the staff were not willing to allow a sharing of the 4 courses for one $90 meal instead. The food was not up to par with the price either nor could the restaurant do basic math on a discount had received.

    Went here for Valentine’s day. We tried their 4 course dinner and it did not disappoint us. The food was delicious and the ambiance setting was romantic with petals on the table. Our server Kevin, was fabulous. Will definitely be back again.

    The food was great, and the service was great. I have never had a bad experience at the Dockside Restaurant. This is my favorite restaurant. Fabulous on the deck in the summer and equally fine inside in the winter!

    I was very surprised that the food quality was so poor. I have been to this restaurant before but this was bad. Perhaps it was the Vancouver Dine Out program that had ‘mass production’ and hence lowered the quality. I had out of town guests that only complained after dinner when I mentioned that the meal perhaps wasn’t as great in my car. I noticed the couple did not finish their main course and was perhaps too polite to complain then. Service and ambience were excellent though. I am very disappointed!

    We had a nice table. The server was kind but at the end of our main meal he came and asked us if we could pay because he was finishing his shift. He didn’t offer us anything else (dessert, , more drinks). So we paid and left. Very odd and I have never experienced this at any restaurant- low or high end. The food was subpar for a nice restaurant. We ordered from the happy hour menu as we were not offered any other menu. The Caesar salad was basically fine and the chicken was bland. It was just a plain grilled chicken breast with barely any seasoning. And it was cold. Too bad and I will not be recommending this restaurant nor will I go back.

    For the main entre, the broccolini was overcooked and the fries were very salty. The steak was nicely cooked and tasty, although there was a bit more fat on the steak than desired. The service was excellent. The ambience was lively, but a bit noisy.
