   Very good service and the food was delicious. Nice ambience and great location, walking distance from the Aquarium. We are definitely coming back!

   Delicious food, friendly and efficient service, and a view of the Park. This was a perfect place for lunch after a morning walk on the Seawall.

   It’s understandably a difficult time for the industry with the new restrictions. We were, however, permitted in advance to reserve a table for 7.15pm on New Years Eve. Whilst the food and service were nice, our entire party of 6 were all under the same opinion that it was far too cold in the building. It seemed only the fire place was going. I requested extra wood on the fire but was told that due to the restaurant closing at 8pm, they did not want to add extra wood on the fire. Whilst I realise they were closing early that evening, they were also accepting reservations up until that time so I didn’t see the reasoning for not adding fuel to the fire as acceptable. I had to sit at the table in my jacket due to being so cold. I was also informed that the building was old and again that meant it was often cold. Whilst the food and service are fine at this restaurant, I did not appreciate being told that nothing could be done to warm up the room. We were a party of 6, all around 30 years old so would normally not complain about the heat. I will probably not be visiting this restaurant again.

   We began at a table close to the door but we were cold so staff found us another table in the next room. We had mulled wine nicely flavoured with orange and spices. It was not too sweet. Food was delicious. I had Ling Cod on risotto and I would have it again. A very pleasant lunch destination on a snowy day in the park.

   This is a great location in Stanley Park. The clam chowder soup was amazing and the rest of the meal was good.

   Was the perfect place for a family after visiting the Aquarium or Christmas train. Lots of Veggie choices. Service kind but not really professional example side dish to share cauliflower starter. Cold wind from front door. However a very pleasant time with boys 10 and 12, parents and grandmother.

   Beautiful big space, yet everything except the building was mediocre. Someone called me an hour before my reservation and said I hadn't confirmed. I received a confirmation from Open Table, and no instructions to do anything further, which I told them twice, and they continued to tell me "you didn't confirm, but it's fine". At arrival we waited outside at the check-in sign while staff walked back and forth. I went in to ask if they could check us in and they sent us outside again. It was NOT busy. There seemed to be two dining rooms and the one we were in had one other family. Menu was minimal and overpriced. Service was ok, but slow. We went here because it was the only sit-down venue close to the Bright Nights Christmas Train. I expect the business survives due to the scarcity of other options.

    The service was amazing!! The food was really good. We got blankets to keep us warm and they tried to move the space heaters as close to us as possible as we all wanted to sit outside. I love this place. The patio is awesome, rain or shine!!

    We went there for food and drinks before Bright Lights with children and friends. They were able to accommodate a larger great and there was plenty of spacing between tables. The food, service and ambience was fantastic. Little pricey but definitely worth it and will visit again.

    Disorganized. Took 15 minutes for waitress to appear. Meals delivered in a haphazard fashion. Never did make it to desert. We gave up and left. To top it off, they charged us a 18% service fee for our party of 4 children (2 - 8 yrs) and 4 adults. Clueless. Need new management. Would never go back.

    An amazing spot, it felt like a cozy small town restaurant that was also stylish and higher end. Loved the Christmas decor and big wood fire! The food was incredible!!! I highly recommend going before or after the Stanley Park Christmas Train.

    I must commend the staff for being very vigilant during these times. Not only are they working during very worrisome times they are doing it with pride. Min the host is energetic and very friendly while always reminding everyone the essential rules of social distancing so that we all can continue to enjoy an outing here and there. We enjoyed our meals; the fish and chips was very good as was the burger with quinoa salad. Being out on the patio also very enjoyable.

    Happy Hour food was ok. Waitress seemed slightly disinterested and unfriendly but service was delivered quickly. Nice spot but improvements needed. Why can’t you get 12 wings instead of 10. Seems cheap of the restaurant to keep portions small.

    Went with 2 friends for lunch and took advantage of the Dine Outside Vancouver Deal for $25. Had the fish tacos for the appetizer and the cod with fingerling potatoes and arugula salad for the main and the brownie for dessert. Great value! The two tacos were delicious with crispy fish. So good... the cod was a little on the small side but about right for lunch. Fish was cooked perfectly. Monika - with the awesome tattoos -was the best - attentive, friendly and just amazing overall as our server!!

    WE sent back the Fish Taco very dried out could not eat them. Replaced with not as good as White Spot Burger and $ 5.00 more Salmon was some what dried out. Asked waiter to move us to sunny spot said ok it will take a few minutes but never remembered to move us. Nice place in the world but not the food.

    Taking advantage of last sunny weekend in October, we checked out the Bar's HH: Onion rings were bit skimpy but crispy and tasty for "finger food". Would come back to try the fish & chips or burgers - not to mention nice patio deck. The grounds are beautiful with the rose garden still in bloom.

    Enjoyed a beautiful day in the park and was hoping for a great lunch. I was greeted and at a table swiftly, and one inside as the wind was out that day. I ordered the fish and chips. Unfortunately the fish was really greasy, the batter was not too thick, but I removed it as it was just too much grease. The chips were fine. The door to the porch was left open so my table and another had a strong breeze that quickly cooled our food. I would not go back. The service was great, too bad the food was not.

    We were off to see a performance at Theatre Under The Stars, so Stanley's Bar & Grill was recommended as it was right beside the place. We had great service, and the staff ensured we had enough time to catch the performance as well. Thanks for a great evening!

    We have been going to this restaurant every year when we attend TUTS. It's very convenient for the show which is the main reason we choose it. The menu choices are good - no complaints about that. The portions aren't overly generous but the main comment is that the food could be prepared better. The pasta was overcooked and mushy. There should be offers to have fresh cracked pepper or parmesan for the pasta. The server was energetic, friendly and provided great service.

    This was the perfect place for us to have our dinner before going to see a performance at TUTS! We used OpenTable to make our reservation and as we couldn't make one for 6 people (booking just on night prior) I was able to reserve a table for 2 and my husband a table for 4. We were very pleased to find that the restaurant had figured out we were most likely together and had already made our table combined for 6 people! Thank you

    Great place to eat! Beautiful setting! Get a reservation well in advance for sure. The server was professional, efficient and friendly. Front staff were friendly, but a little confusing in the handling of our reservation. In the end, all worked out well and we very much enjoyed our experience and do intend to dine here again.
