    The server was very slow taking our order. Then it seemed quite a long wait for our food.

    Food was consistent and good. View was absolutely stunning at sunset. Unfortunately we had a preoccupied server that seemed much more interested in the table beside us that was reserved that had not yet arrived than serving us. She walked away when we were about to order wine and we waited 15 minutes for her to return. She never asked how our food was, she never made any suggestions or told us of any specials. She placed dirty dishes from the table she was fawning over next to us in a chair of the vacant table beside. So we could see the dirty dishes on the chair. I’ve never seen that done before. Our mains came out practically on top of the first course. That was disappointing. No more beverages were offered after we ordered a glass of wine. No coffees were offered with dessert. All in all, very disappointing for such a great location. Thankfully the view is stunning or she would have ruined a special occasion. I don’t recommend this restaurant.

    This goes for most restaurants that are in great location. I had my worst seafood meal in Vancouver last night. Salmon was dry and the rice was cooked very poorly.

    Had reservation for 12:45; no sever came to our table to even offer us water until 1:25; decided to order drinks and food at same time due to delay; drinks came at 1:45 but food did not come until 2:20; server did not give reasons for delays nor apologize at any point; location is outstanding but dining experience was not - we will not be back

    We had the corner table in the indoor patio with the best view in the world! The food was delicious, and the service was exceptional! We meet and eat there regularly!

    This was a chaotic lunch. We waited almost an hour for our food. The server was awkward and forgot us for most of the time we were there. My glass was dirty on a drink. It took over 30 min to get a replacement and it was really terrible. We have been here before and it was great. Today, service, food and overall experience were not good.

    In short, an expensive but pedestrian meal for a special family birthday. The seafood was uninspired and fell well short of my memories from past times at this restaurant. Our server was lovely but run ragged over far too many tables - I think we waited 25 minutes before we had our drinks.
