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!

    Beet salad was delicious. Service was poor, gave us lunch menus at dinner which caused confusion in ordering. Our server left us for 20 minutes before bringing the proper menu. Didn’t offer us any drinks beyond our first round and didn’t check on us at all. The staff clearing tables were very good and prompt at taking our dishes away. Overall, not the quality of service I remember from my last visit to Dockside.

    They still offered a Happy Hour menu on Christmas Eve which is amazing for me when dining solo. I was able to order two dishes and a beverage. The food was PHENOMENAL! I ordered the Caesar Salad and the oyster mushroom calamari. The view was stunning, the service was great. All around an amazing experience that made my solo holiday in Vancouver super special.

    We were a family party of 7 who hadn't been together for a while. You gave us a round table with a beautiful view of the lights on the water. For dinner we ate Steak Frites, Salmon, a Chicken Sandwich and Seafood Pasta. Our meals were all delicious and perfect with the exception of the Seafood Pasta which my sister thought could use more sauce. Luckily three of us had salmon and had a little extra sauce to share. The Salmon with fennel was such a tasty medley of flavours that I now have a new appreciation of west coast cuisine. The Cocoa Caramel, Creme Caramel and Tiramisu provided a superb ending to our meals. Of course, our waitstaff were consummate professionals. Thank you for a delightful evening in a lovely location.
