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!

    Do not go at New Year's Eve. The staff it's rushing you to finish at 9:30. The portions were a joke. I can imagine it's a good place other days but yesterday was a waist of time.

    Excellent food quality, very attentive and professional service but time between courses was by far too short - it was kind of fast food

    We had a nice time but felt a bit rushed at the beginning. The steak was delicious but Unfortunately we did not like the dessert. The room and view is awesome though :)

    Great lunch and experience. Every time we come here, it's a happy place to be. Our server - Alex - was amazing. Such a great guy. Food was excellent; well presented and very tasty. Thank you Alex for making the last day of the year a special one for uncle and I. We loved it. :)

    Everything was perfect except one thing. Great service, food and ambience. The only thing that would have made it better is to have a choice of potato with your meal. French fries have taken over and it would be so nice to get mashed, or baked with your entree.

    I went to this restaurant intentionally after not going for a few years and avoiding the obvious downtown restaurants. The ambience of this place was what I expected it to be...quiet with a calm view of False Creek. After being quickly seated, it took a good 10 minutes for the server to even show up with water and her demeanour was like someone who had just quit her job at a Denny's from Surrey. The food itself was well prepared, and enjoyable, but a little pricey considering there's so much competition out there. However, the unbelievable thing was when I ordered my burger with half fries and salad, she told me it wasn't possible, yet the person I ate with ordered an eggs benedict which came half/half....it was obvious she made up that rule and was just too lazy to check. Already not too satisfied, I asked for the bill and the server took another 10-15 mins to bring it to me. And with a fake smile, shoved the machine in my face expecting an 18% tip. Let's just say with so much competition out there, there's no reason to go to Dockside again...they need to hire more seasoned servers.

    I called ahead to ask if the Fondue was available at all times and was told it was on the menu all day. Drove a long way and paid for parking to get there to find out they didn't have the cheese to make it even though I called and checked the day before. Very disappointing and ruined our outing. So we left without eating.
