    Was a good experience. They have done such a good job with the interior, part industrial, and a bit of a funky vibe... Love that. The food was good, I would say just overall average. Beer was ice cold. I had to leave it at a three just because the service was average. Wasn't great... wasn't bad... great service would have brought it to a four.

    I recommend you go on Wednesday as it is quiet and very intimate. We were there and had our usual seafood chowder which is out of this world!!! My favourite thing to order here The testaraunt is cozy on a winter night with a glass a wine and their chowder. You can't miss this, you won't regret it.

    We liked this place so much we ate here twice while we were in White Rock for the weekend. The chicken sandwich is a MUST! The fries were perfectly crispy and delicious and they have some interesting beers on tap. We sat inside every time so we could watch some playoff baseball which they had going on every TV. There must be at least 10 TVs in this place because no matter where you sit you can see one. It was heaven! They also have Golden Tee and vintage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle video game machine. This spots a winner in my book! Pros Friendly servers Tons of TVs for sports viewing Killer chicken sandwich

    Armed with complimentary gift card in hand, the fiancé and I went to The Ocean Beach for date night. It had been a few years since I last visited, so I was curious to see if the place had changed since new management took over. I fell in love with the restaurant from first impressions (and arriving in time for Happy Hour certainly helped too). The seating was spread out and spacious, with lots of upscale plants and greenery. The ambiance was lighter than I remember, leading me to feel like this was a cross between a pub and an upscale lounge. There was a mix of sit down and high top tables. We have gotten into the habit of trying out either Calamari or variations of Deep Fried Cauliflowers whenever we see it on the menu. We were pleasantly surprised with the Parmesan Crusted Cauliflower. Being used to differently sized deep fried mounds, Ocean Beach gets top marks for presentation for the Crusted Cauliflower. They were (to me) mouth watering vegetarian crab cakes. They were perfectly breaded and fried, and all the pieces were carefully pressed to be the same size and thickness. For a split second, I thought were given the wrong appetizer but I was mightily impressed from first bite to last. For the entrée, I ordered the Ocean Beach Burger and the fiancé chose the Beef Dip. I'm unable to comment on the Beef Dip (because he inhaled the sandwich), but I can safely say I enjoyed the Ocean Beach Burger. Delicious beef (sorry vegetarians), melted gooey choose, an interesting blend of sweet caramelized onions and sour aioli. I'm not sure if it was the brioche bun in itself, or the mix of everything in between, but I thought the bun was sticky and sweet. An interesting combination when I was always used to savory burgers, but it was well worth the try. Pro tip: make sure you have extra napkins on hand. Verdict: Fancy enough for date night, but nobody bats an eye if you stroll in there for a drink with the guys. Worth a return visit when the weather is warmer, so we can sit on the patio and enjoy the sunshine and warm weather.

    First time in this restaurant. We absolutely loved the food and drinks. Our server was amazing. The ambiance was good . Over all had a best time and delicious food . Must try in white rock.

    Crispy chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries - so good!!

    My boyfriend and I found ourselves in White Rock one afternoon and was trying to find a place for lunch. We eventually ended up selecting here for the beautiful patio and wide range of items on menu (bf doesn't like fish). We didn't have high expectations because nice view doesn't always mean good food but we were amazed with how delicious the food was! We both got the crispy chicken sandwich but with sweet potato fries and he got a house salad and it was all delicious! The fries definitely were the better selection because they were perfectly crispy but the salad was still really good. The sandwich was very well sized, perfectly crispy, and loved that it had bacon on it! We would definitely come back again next time we find ourselves in White Rock!

    By far the BEST happy hour I've ever been to. Everything about this place is crazy good--the food, the ambience, the service, the VIEW!!! You pay a little more for the usual stuff like truffle fries but it is a price worth paying; their menu is delicious. With such high quality food, interior, and service its crazy that their highballs are an Earls price: $4 !! This place is a Whiterock gem!

    This place is absolutely drool worthy!!! And what an amazing view overlooking the waters. Remember to get a patio seat on a nice sunny day! You'll enjoy the whole experience! I ordered the Red Wine and Apple Braised New Zealand Short Rib and Truffle Fries. Both were solid dishes I guarantee I'll be back here ordering this again and again. Not only was the short rib so tender and flavourful but that risotto was perfection!!! It was cooked just right with not one grain undercooked and the varieties and generous amount of delicious mushrooms in the risotto was fantastic!

    Seafood tagliatelle

    Couldn't get a seat at Uli's restaurant and wanted a restaurant with a view so we settled for this. I prematurely ordered the ceviche. Would've never ordered it had I known it would be shrimp cut up into small pieces. The taste was pretty off putting. The lime juice didn't taste fresh and the ceviche sauce was quite sweet. The seafood tagliatelle pasta dish had no flavour and a lot of oil. HOWEVER, the fish and chips was quite a delightful dish. Service was standard. Not sure if this restaurant would get more customers had it not been for the location.

    WOW! We had a fabulous lunch today at the new 'OCEAN BEACH Crafts, Drafts and Eats', in White Rock. De lish food prepared with expertise and skill by Chef Rory. My beef dip was off the charts and each of the four of us very much enjoyed our meal choices! The staff are all so caring and their enthusiasm and pride is evident. A newly renovated restaurant creates a modern yet super warm and comfy environment. Enjoyed our ocean view including a partial view of the iconic White Rock pier! Check it out - you won't be disappointed! :)

    Rude servers. Not tasty food. They are not even asking for anything else after first order. They are directly putting the bill on the table.

    Sawbuck's Neighbourhood Pub - Chicken wings

    Wanted to try a pub in White Rock and saw this place right on 152nd. Went in, good pub vibe. Decent…read moreamount of tv's and they have the online keno and poker which is always fun to play. Not a huge selection on tap which was dissapointing since we have so many great local breweries. Service was attentive and friendly. Food was ok. We tried chicken wings, hot spinach dip and the flat bread. Chicken wings were good, sauced well and they were a bit crispy which I prefer. The hot spinach dip was great, served with pita which complimented it well. Flatbread was chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, dried cranberries and olives (would have come with goat cheese but we asked for none as it's not my thing!). The Flatbread fell flat...no pun intended! The chicken was so dry,felt like I was choking on it. I wasn't a fan. Overall this place is a good pub, appy place. Lots of locals and regulars too.

    May 5 2023 - ALL long-term server staff have been "let go" as new corporate management takes over…read more Allegations of theft prompted the 15+ person firing. Prices for drinks and food have gone up. Service is horrible (brand new staff is the reason) and morale is in question for all long-timer patrons whom have been coming here for many years, myself included. I highly discourage people from coming here as the new management have mistreated so many committed employees by letting them go promptly and without warning. BAD business practice.
