We serve honest, regional food with local craft beer and premium BC wine on tap. Our beer and wine program is the most innovative draft menu program of its kind, comprised of a selection of premium BC products that features custom collaborations with local purveyors.

Our restaurant is located at the Vancouver Trade & Convention Centre West in downtown Vancouver's Coal Harbour district. Look for the Douglas Coupland Digital Orca sculpture and our vast patio with 300 waterfront patio seats and large red umbrellas. If you are interested in private dining, we have a spectacular private waterfront room, called the Barrel Room, overlooking the inlet. We look forward to serving you!

    I thought I had booked a table, with both feet on the ground, but was allocated to a high table and perched on a stool. The restaurant was rather unpleasantly noisy - difficult to hear what my dinner guest was saying. Food was OK (although the tuna in the tuna burger was cold ... yesterday, I get that it was seared, not cooked through). Service was fine although the restaurant was very busy.

    Caroline, thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not live up to your expectations. We have taken note of your feedback and will strive to do better in the future. Thanks again for taking the time to leave this review.

    It was fine for happy hour. Was stuck in the farthest corner after being asked to move - no one took the other spot. Server was nice and not overly attentive.
