Best Waterfront Restaurants in Marpole

Buffett was good but I was expecting prime rib and seafood and was disappointed I couldn’t have those. The today beef was good though. Very busy as it was valentines and I’m glad I made reservations ahead of time.

Went here for Valentine’s day. We tried their 4 course dinner and it did not disappoint us. The food was delicious and the ambiance setting was romantic with petals on the table. Our server Kevin, was fabulous. Will definitely be back again.

We’ve been here many times, I think Valentine’s Day made it not quite as smooth of an experience as usual. The cocktails were top notch, the sablefish risotto was fantastic, pizza amazing as always, the burger was good but not as good as previous ones. My only negative comment on this restaurant is the metal chair legs on the concrete floors are horrendously noisy and it takes away from the atmosphere. Still love this place and truly understand the Michelin Recommended!

As well as the excellent service and cuisine, I particularly enjoy the ambiance in the restaurant at night when it is dark outside. The dining room lighting is kept dim and the individual table lights give just enough warm indirect task lighting to the table top. So you can have a cozy dim ambiance for the room and are able to read the menu and see the meal. Ambiance is as important as the cuisine to me.

We went to blue canoe for dine out which was great, initially the appetizers took a while to come out, but after they did it was smooth sailing from there. The Risotto was really well done, crab cakes were nice, and overall we really enjoyed the experience. We were also in a rush to pick someone up from the airport, and after asking to receive the entree and dessert together, the wait staff was able to oblige to get us out faster. All in all, great seafood house in a great location.
