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!

    Perfect Hollandaise on the traditional eggs Benedict. Super tasty potatoes. Dockside never disappoints.

    Upon arrival we were seated promptly, looks like fine dining. The fish tank was a nice touch. Our waitress was super nice and sweet, we left a tip for that reason. Unfortunately the charcuterie board wasn’t worth ordering. It took very long (almost an hour, but our waiter took it off our bill which was lovely! We were going to send it back but she was so sweet.) I ordered the steak Fritz, it wasn’t the best for the price but the butter and potato wedges were good. My husband got the ribs, again not so great for the price. We expected it to be more fine dining, but you could probably get this food at cactus. We weren’t seated with a view, so it was pretty basic.

    We very much enjoyed our dinner at Dockside. He had the steak/frites. I had the King Prawn appetizer and a small Caesar salad. The prawns were perfectly cooked and the beurre blanc sauce was delicious.

    We went for the Thanksgiving Day dinner. Food was good. The restaurant was very busy so the service was average. We did have to seek out a person to resolve 2 small issues which were resolved. Overall I would recommend this restaurant. We did have a bill issue - we asked for a little extra gravy which they charged us for. We told them this was unacceptable and they did take it off. Problem solved. Happy Thanksgiving.

    The food was good. It was the right temperature too We liked the service but the restaurant was understaffed and it created some discomfort for my party. We could clearly see they were busy on the floor but at same time we had some trouble getting service to come to our own table. Unfortunately this type of restaurant experience is becoming normal.

    That was the best thanksgiving meal of all time. Friendly and top notch staff and incredible food. Turkey was done to perfection and the sides were amazing, from the parsnips to the carrots, brussel sprouts, stuffing and mashed potatoes. The orange cranberry sauce WOW. Salad - PERFECT - and the Pumpkin pie was out off this world. It came with a berry compote and the only way I can describe it, was it tasted like Christmas. (My only complaint, for me. It didn’t need the coconut on top). All the flavours went perfect together and the glass of champagne completed the deal. Well worth the price and I had an amazing night, Thanks to everyone working hard and fast to get the job done. Whoever came up with the compote and pumpkin pie idea, way to go Chef………….. That, was a memorable occasion for me and I will be talking about it for weeks or more I am sure. See you next year. Cheers, Simon
