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!

    Three of us were there for dinner to celebrate a birthday. Although I had noted this on the reservation, the birthday wasn't acknowledged at all which would have been nice. Two of us ordered the steak frites and one ordered the seafood pasta. The steak frites arrived cold and were sent back. I did taste a piece of the steak before it was returned to the kitchen and it was very bland and lacking in flavor. I was given the option to order another meal so I ordered the mushroom pizza which was nothing special. The other steak frites dish was re-heated but not enjoyed by the party that ordered it. The restaurant was good enough to remove the charge from the bill for the one steak frites dish. The happy hour house wine was nice. Despite our disappointment with the food, the servers were really great, very personable and handled the situation well. It's a lovely setting but I won't be hurrying back for the food given our recent experience.

    My wife and I had a great dining experience. The ambience is fantastic. The views are spectacular (and we live in Vancouver and see them all the time). The food was superb and I must say that our server (Laura) was exceptional. We would highly recommend a night out at Dockside - get to Granville Island an hour or so early and take an enjoyable stroll through the market and around the perimeter walk - and then enjoy your meal!!

    I am on a very restricted diet and I could still find a dish I could enjoy. So happy. My dining companions are found their entrees to their liking. Nice selection on the menu. Excellent service from Laurie. Sunny day outside enhanced the view of the marina. Overall, a great time. Thank you.
