It's very spacious and has lots of TVs to watch sports. Unfortunately, my seat at the booth we were sat at was broken and would lift off whenever I leaned forward but I only realised at a later point in the night. Got these coconut prawns for $12 and they were yummy! I really like the pineapple sambal that came with it. Even though it says it's spicy, it's not spicy at all. Our waiter took a really long time to get the machine after we had asked for the bill - not sure what the hold up was. I think both of my complaints were pretty unique to my situation so overall, it's a nice place to come.

The service was fantastic, everyone was polite, attentive, and really made an effort to make the birthday celebration feel special. The interior also looks elegant and adds to the whole experience. We chose the prix fixe menu, which included a salad, entrée, and dessert. For the birthday boy, they made his plate extra special by writing "Happy Birthday" in chocolate on the plate, and they even joined us in singing for him, which was a really nice touch. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and definitely money well spent.

First, the location can't be beat. From inside the restaurant on the second floor, the windows are floor-to-ceiling so we got a great view of the marina, Vancouverand the Burrard Street Bridge. Antonia, our lovely server, got us our drinks. It was challenging deciding what to eat because everything looked so good. My niece opted for the Falafel Burger, which she gobbled down in record time (which is rare for her). I wanted Falafel, too, so I opted for the Falafel Bowl which was chock full of goodness and so delicious. We gave Antonia a good tip to show our appreciation of her and the great food!!

This is the main restaurant on Granville Island, right next to the Public Market and overlooking…read morethe harbor. Its a huge restaurant that gets very busy, so line up early! For our lunch, my wife and son both enjoyed their dishes more than I did. I would still recommend coming here, but only if you try to enjoy the meal and not eat too healthy. Their food and drink menu is huge! 1. My Caesar Salad with Garlic Chicken had no taste of any garlic or seasoning. The salad was fine but man that chicken was super dry. On the flip side, my wife loved the Seafood Caesar with salmon, shrimp, and scallops. Unfortunately, I am recovering from gout so I tend to avoid shellfish these days. 2. Our 6yo son got the Kid's Cheeseburger and surprisingly he ate most of it. He has bot been enjoying In and Out back in the USA these days so it was a crapshoot. Fries were crispy without being oily. Good burger - maybe because its 100% Canadian Beef, LOL. It came with granny smith apple and a tall glass of apple juice. Service was friendly. One other minor ding is that if you sit inside, there is not much ventilation or AC, so on a hot day you may be better off on the patio with fresh air.

We arrived before 930am, managed to get a table for seven right away. Staff were friendly and attentive, and food was delicious. The early bird special is now something like $11+, but seems like a sweet deal still given inflation everywhere. The hash browns were made just right, the toast were perfect, my over medium egg was absolutely great, with a bit of crispness around the edge. Pancake was a bit on the denser side, kids loved it. Our coffee was refilled constantly, everything was just wonderful. Will certainly come back again.

We arrived around 9:30 and was seated by 9:45. The staff here are really efficient in getting people in and seated as quick as they can. That being said, the environment is definitely fast paced and doesn't feel as inviting to sit and chat for long periods of time. As soon as our table was done our meal, the server brought us the bill. They didn't push for us to leave but it's indicative as time for us to leave. Aside the prompt seating/leaving (which is understandable for quick service!), the only thing I felt a bit disappointed by was getting one thin slice of ham as my protein... I wish it could be a thick cut piece of ham or at least 2 slices of thin ham. That was a bit underwhelming

We had a private event party held here. The food was spectacular but I felt that this cafe & Bar is…read morenot suitable to host a party for over 100 guests. One thing noticeable about this restaurant is the lacking of plates. They used majority of their plates to serve the food on. However the food were served as finger foods and we were expected to hold our food in our hand. Somewhat strange. They also ran out of glasses during the party. The bartender couldn't even keep up with our drinks. Anyways other than the above. The event was a great event. I got the opportunity to try all four of their mocktails: - Blueberry Basil Lemonade - Mango Lavender Lemonade - Minty-Berry Sour - Pear Lavender Sour All their drinks were very fancy prepared and my favorite are the Minty-Berry Sour and the Blueberry Basil Lemonade. I also found that there is some inconsistency in the glass they serve it out of. The food was delicious as mentioned before. My favorite out of their finger foods were the grill cheese brisket. OMG that was really good. The other memorable items are the porkbelly and fried chicken. I think the fried chicken is one of their popular items on the menu served during brunch. The cheesecake at the end I got was very soft but flavorful. The cheeseburger slider was really good too. Overall I really enjoyed the food. The atmosphere and decor of the place was nice. The restaurant is very small. Because we were over 100 people, there was a wait for the 3 stalls in the bathroom. There was not enough tables and chairs for everyone to sit. I think the restaurant can comfortably maybe accommodate around 40 or 50 guests max. I will definitely be back again someday to try their brunch menu.
