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!

    The ambience is nice and the staff very friendly. The food was excellent BUT perhaps they're not used to doing a buffet. It was Christmas dinner and they continually ran out of things- including lobster, the main attraction, as well as other things until they ran out completely. Our server, while very nice and trying to be attentive was either very inexperienced or poorly trained as they kept taking plates before we were done along with silverware without replacing it. For $150/pp I definitely expect more for buffet maintenance and service.

    The buffet was not worth the cost. We were a table of 9 and all of us waited ridiculously long times in line only to find out that the lobster ran out. The desert table was also not up to the level expected in a high end restaurant. The server was very nice, but overall we were very disappointed.

    Came here for Christmas brunch buffet. Selection of food was ok. The problem was, that stations were not being refilled. So if your sitting was later, ours was at 1pm, you were not able to try it all, as many food options by that time were already either cold or finished :( Omelette with mushrooms was cold, all hot section - potatos, Brussel sproutes, grilled tomatos - were cold. No turkey left, cheese board half empty, smoked salmon was gone. And there were still ppl coming later. Should not charge people the same price at 11 am and 1-2 pm, if you cannot refill the stations:( and then they take 20% tip, no option to choose, just mandatory included in the bill for 2 glasses of wine & half empty food trays :( not worth a price and disappointing:((((

    Table we were given was set up for 6 instead of 8 as per the booking and reservation. They crammed 2 chairs on either end and squished us in. Not a great start to Christmas day brunch. Everyone walking around us bumped into the 2 guests seated at either end of our table. Not a pleasant experience. The service and food quality made up for the mix up with the table.
