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!

    We are long-time and fairly frequent patrons of Dockside. Unfortunately, last night was the first time we felt we had to say something about the exceedingly slow service. We chose the Dine Out menu. Perhaps it was a little too ambitious or perhaps they were short staffed in the kitchen, but to sit and wait for more than 25 minutes for the 2nd course with no explanation from the manager or the wait staff until we complained is not good enough. We were not the only table to experience this, although there were other tables seated after us who got their food from the Dine Out menu much faster. In other words, the food service was very uneven - and not up to Dockside's usual standard.

    I always enjoy the spectacular view from Dockside and the quiet setting that allows for easy conversation. Service was very good. Food was not as good as usual- restaurant had supply problems the past couple of weeks so the menu was restricted to brunch choices. Omelette was okay; bacon was overcooked.

    Service was very good - attentive. Food was exceptional; espcially that all of our meals came at the dame time for a group 13 people.

    Do not go at New Year's Eve. The staff it's rushing you to finish at 9:30. The portions were a joke. I can imagine it's a good place other days but yesterday was a waist of time.

    The food is delicious, the portions very well thought out, but above all the service and the atmosphere of the place are very nice, we will definitely return to the place.
