    We all had a great time. Our server Mary was so friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The food all came out in a timely manner for our group of 23 and the place had enough background noise to seem busy but wasn't overly loud so we didn't have to shout over the noise to converse with our dinner guests. The view was great and the food was also excellent.

    Everything was fantastic, docked points due to their not being any access for people with disabilities. Walking a block in the pouring rain with my canes was horrible. I called and asked before booking and was told there was parking, but should have been warned it was a long way from the restaurant.

    Loved the calamari appetizer super delicious mixed with the tempura veggies and crispy noodles. Had the halibut fish and chips that was super delicious also. Overall a great evening with good food and exceptional service. Would recommend the boathouse at kits to anyone looking for a nice evening with good food and a nice environment.

    We went here for a celebration dinner and the food outdid our expectations. There was a large event the same night that and we didn’t feel rushed. The food was impressive and the location great.

    The food is high quality and well prepared. The view of the beach makes the Kitsilano location the best one. You can’t beat a view of the ocean against the mountains and city. It’s nice that they give a dessert item to the person celebrating (a mocha ice cream type thing, very tasty).
