Wanda HalpertJuly 30, 2017We go here for special dinners with family and friends in order to create great memories. We have had many good times at this waterfront restaurant and we usually arrive by boat. #wandahalpert
Carmen BecerrilJuly 4, 2016If you feel like eating fine fresh food like king crab, lobster and tuna I'll recomend you to order the tower, it would be enough for two.
SabinaJuly 9, 2013The Sandbar may be known for its seafood but the G.I. Burger is some next level deliciousness!
Michael CabotFebruary 20, 2022No hesitation. Eat here. Fish was fresh and tasty. I had the hot pot which was good but would get something else. Wife loved the sushi and sashimi. Jordan was awesome. Kids pizza was not good.
Ulises ArcosSeptember 11, 2018Delicious don't forget to try oysters and the fries (the best I had ever tried), it is a good inversion. Pretty good service and the red lager superb :)
Finn BAugust 24, 2017Really great restaurant with lot's more on the menu than just seafood. Great service. Awesome view of the city from upstairs. Enjoy.
Nathan WrightSeptember 21, 2015Relaxed atmosphere and great seafood. Crash here after a day of whale watching or exploring Granville Island.
Alina GrynevskaDecember 28, 2014Loved it! The food was delicious, service was fast and polite. Check out patio on the second floor!
Kevin KlosNovember 26, 2014Best salmon burger EVER. It's not fishy tasting and has a grilled taste to it - 5 stars, try it!
Jessica MathyNovember 27, 2017Tasty tuna steak in a nice woody place. Wine is a bit expensive altough...
Richelle MarieJune 26, 2015I love the actual space. Food varies in quality. Definitely go for seafood! Patio is amazing. Great beer selection.
Anna JorgensenDecember 23, 2019Beautiful views, only 3 choices on weekend #brunch menu, Benny ok, service good. Better for seafood dinners for sure! 🦀🦞🦐- Carmen BecerrilJuly 4, 2016The patio is beautiful, but also inside the decor is outstanding and the chairs very comfortable, more like a living Room ones
@JaumePrimeroDecember 15, 2013This is the perfect place to go for lunch after you explore the Public Market.- Freyja PritJuly 25, 2013Great food, great service, love the atmosphere, right on the water, spectacular views!
DeborahOctober 24, 2010Great seafood and awesome, fast service. Had a group of 19 ppl and the food came out in a timely fashion and no orders were messed up. Try the scallop kabobs and black cod (sablefish).- KennethSeptember 7, 2016The blackened fish tacos are the best. Get a side fries and share it for lunch.
Juan ZunoMarch 8, 2019The terrace is warm and cozy even in winter, if you are still cold they have blankets available!
Arash NarchiJanuary 10, 2018Loved the GI burger but the real treat was Mr Kelly on the piano (plays Sunday - Thursday)
Isabella CarneiroApril 3, 2018Nice place to go for the ambience and good food! Had the King Pao shrimp bowl, which was fresh and delicious!
ClearlyContacts.caDecember 23, 2011Doesn’t matter the season, the patio is memorable! Overlooking the paddlers in the bay and downtown the view and delish seafood are worth the trip!- Shelley ChenMay 4, 2012They have an amazing patio. Make sure to get the mussels! It's a great place to have seafood with a view.
Zsolt SzénásiJanuary 13, 2014Thnx Tony! Best crab cake Ever!!!! The special Salmon, the spicy need to be "Szena's Style" ;)
Mickey MouseMarch 27, 2016Best fish in the city. Supposedly the guy who invented the BC roll makes the sushi here
Vanessa C.April 8, 2012Sit on the semi-enclosed patio, view of two bridges and the water and lots of boats
Sarah YuDecember 25, 2009Sit in Rene's section: best server ever! Order the mussels they are never overdone and always plump & juicy! The bread is chewy fresh and Granville Island winter ale goes pairs perfectly with all!
Ben DuenasMay 7, 2017I would like to go again for happy hour. Quality of food comparable to bridges, but less expensive.
- Gabriela EstrelaAugust 2, 2017Really bad service. I waited for about 10 minutes at the table to be answered. I had to get up to go and have some waiter. Beside that, the food was not good, it was tasteless.
Muerta RicoFebruary 11, 2011Mussel mania! M-F 3-6pm in the Teredo Lounge. Mussels & Frites & pint of G.I. Brew $10
If dining with four or more order the Dragon Platter to start.
