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.

    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.

    The Fall cider on tap is like a vacation in a glass. Pumpkin soup was something out of a Michelin star rated dining experience. Not that I would know, I would just assume-that’s how good it was. Looked like a piece of edible art.

    Thank you so much for your great review Abigail. Our team works hard to curate a tasty menu and we're thrilled that you felt that. We hope to welcome you back to Coal Harbour soon for some of our delicious new eats on the updated Winter Core Menu! Cheers!

    The food was good, but since we were seated outside, we felt that the appetizers took a while to come out and when they arrived to our table they were not supper hot everything was edible but we're Luke warm the fries were a little cold but since we didn't want to wait for a new batch we ate them as they were. Since it was getting cold, we were able to move inside, and it was so much better we were able to order more food, and the wings were so much better since they came out hot.
