    This was one of the best places we ate while in Vancouver. I was able to visit my son and did not feel rushed or that I had to speak loud. It was comfortable and delicious food. I would highly recommend. The only issue was parking. It was challenging and unexpected.

    I ordered lobster tail with fries and veggies. I guess I was expecting one large lobster tail but I got two small ones. Still good Hubby had filet and he enjoyed it. Ordered creme brûlée cinnamon which I didn’t like at all but hubby did.

    Very slow and unprofessional service. They brought main dishes, then soups and appitisers. Food was mediocre. Halibut was overlooked. Nice view though

    Amazing views, impressive service, and some wonderful food. Highly recommend the LSC Trio so you can try a bit of everything. And the portions are well worth the price; I couldn’t even finish everything, and packed up at least 30% of the leftovers—enough for a brunch for another day. The calamari and seafood chowder are also delicious, and so is The Rigged 56. Would also recommend the Boathouse Signature, as you’d have 3 seafood items plus some sides to try out. Would highly recommend this place for a special occasion. While prices aren’t necessarily cheap, but the portions are definitely generous for what I expected.

    The Boathouse is our go to restaurant for family meals. With wheelchairs, strollers and everything in between it is very comfortable, has great views and good food with variety for everyone. We will continue to go back.
