Boathouse Restaurant - Vancouver

What Derick Wiegand likes about Boathouse Restaurant:
Lovely restaurant for a date night. Over looks the beach and if you time it right you can watch the sunset. Staff were friendly and efficient. Seafood dishes were very good. Non-seafood dishes were average. Not a great selection of beers on tap. But a large selections wines and cocktails. As well as a few select desserts. If I was being extremely critical you have to pass staff to go downstairs to the toilet. Valet p... View all feedback.

What Ingirós Grankells doesn't like about Boathouse Restaurant:
1 star is generous. The decor of this place needs to be seen to be believed. Why paint a beautiful beachfront restaurant dark red? What were they thinking? To say the place needs TLC is an understatement, this restaurant reeks of under investment: great location, bored staff, awful service, tired music, clientele looking as uninterested as the owners. The food is actually decent, fresh fish with simple trimmings and a decent B.C. wine list. But, the ambience is depressed, desperate and depressing. Our hostess kept us waiting on the grim entrance stairs for 10 minutes before escorting us to a half empty restaurant. Our server arrived after 10 minutes apologise for having been busy. She was sweet, but the venue is lost. Sorting this out wouldn't be hard, for now avoid.
