We went to Skye Lounge for Happy Hour, ordered tacos, they were good, but not much beef in them. Had the truffle fries, they were really good. Great service, and ambiance. I would go back.

Uli's son Tyson took over operations in 2008 and he picked up right where his father left off – providing the White Rock waterfront with a fun and relaxed place to enjoy a vibrant atmosphere, stunning water views, refreshingly simple food, an extensive international beer list, and a diverse selection of wines. Chef Jennie Silk is also making quite an impression on locals as they flock for her impeccable local flavours on the menu.

Noisy, the music was good and it was turned down a couple of times, but seemed to creep up after a couple of songs. Even our writer couldn’t hear us. We enjoyed the meal. Just not the noise
