We stopped here from brunch after walking the WestBay walkway on Canada Day. We got a seat easy on the patio and had a great view of all the fancy yachts and harbour traffic. Our waitress was lovely and complimented us on our Canadian inspired outfits. We ordered two cesars - non alcoholic and gin. The garnish 2 olives and 2 beans were awesome but my Cesar lacked ice which you can't skimp on, you want that clam juice cold! Their Cesar also is on the sweeter side almost like a ketchup flavour whereas I like a spicy savoury Cesar leaning heavier on horseradish. For brunch we had the smoked salmon mousse bagel with fresh greens and the beet and ricotta Benny with hashbrowns. Both dishes were excellent and beautifully presented. The salmon mousse was rich and decadent - not sure I could have had both sides as it was quite rich but my husband and I were sharing dishes so it worked well! The beet and ricotta benny was really nice - light and creamy. The only thing lacking was seasoning to the hashbrown patties - they look better than they taste. All in all this is a spot to stop at whether you're going for a coffee and treat, a full on dinner or a nice weekend brunch! High recommend!

With the weather warmed up and the patio opened, you cannot hope for a marina view any better than this. An amazing view from every seat whether you are seated inside or outside. Staff is very warm and helpful. This is the kind of place where you go for a date night - and get a nice cocktail and the chat the night away. We managed to get a reservation on short notice on a Friday night. We went as a family of 3 - 2 adults, 1 fiver-year old. Things we got - 1. West Coast Fish Chowder - nice but can be skipped. I ordered it for my son as a safe option and yes, he liked it very much. 2. Chicken Liver Parfait - very good! Must try!! To be honest, I am not a fan of chicken liver in general. I have had it a few times in other places and have never been able to go beyond the first bite but my spouse really likes it. We checked with our server before ordering this and she was very encouraging to give it is a go and I am so glad we did! It was very well made and was served with a orange/lemon marmalade which really complimented the pate. 3. Duck Confit - Good! 4. Smash Burger - Must have been very good. My five-year old swiped it clean without one word. 5. Boom Margarita - nice! 6. Earl Grey Sour - Very very nice - must try!! 7. Pasta with spicy arrabbiata sauce - Flavors were good but the pasta came caked from the get go which was very unfortunate since the dish had the potential to pack a punch. Just our luck I guess! I was too shy to bring it to their notice and ate whatever I could. The staff and ambiance made sure we had a great time and we will be back for sure to try more of their menu, perhaps during brunch or an early lunch to take advantage of those amazing marina views.

Tonight the food was as close to five as you can get but for the average dessert. The service was attentive early on, but once we were set up, our water jug became empty, glasses of wine and water not topped up even once. Finer touches yes, but that gets that 5 star and gets us talking to friends and family about places we eat when travelling. The ambiance is great, the building is most likely more than a hundred years old, the interior filled with brick, wood and old pictures. Stained glass and millwork bring the area of my grandparents youth and I am always a sucker for that. Our fresh shucked oysters were divine, the gyoza great, promising a great meal. Our seafood chowder and burger were great, with the fries standing out, and the burger cooked to "our" perfection. The brownie was a little on the dry side on the outside and a little soft in the middle. The lemon ricotta fritters were just there. Not very lemony, or ricotta forward. We were also left alone for stretches that were too long given the place wasn't that busy. The food would definitely bring us back however, so all in all a nice meal.

The rainbow roll, marilena roll, and dynamite roll were delicious, the quality of the fish was incredible. The prawns to split amongst the table were my favorite part of the night, accompanied by a savory beige white sauce (can't remember if it was tahini or hummus) that complimented the marinated prawns wonderfully. The spring salmon was super buttery and flavorful in its respective soy emulsion. The chocolate molten lava cake with the cherry ice cream however was insane!!! Both desserts managed to be airy in nature, the cherry packing a wonderfully tart flavor without tasting artificial. If you're a fan of dark chocolate, you will most definitely enjoy this cake.
