Travel + Leisure "This unassuming seafood joint on False Creek Fisherman’s Wharf ) doesn’t look like much from the outside- which is just fine for locals, who'd rather keep it for themselves." Full review
BlackBook "Crisp, modern, and breezy space with regatta-worthy décor, much of it (like the whimsical nori lamps and chandelure) built by Chef Gord Martin’s energetic sous-chefs."
Gayot "Although the line-ups can be significant at this popular seafood shack on False Creek's Fishermen's Wharf, it's worth the wait." Full review

Then tuck into some of Vancouverâs best Granville Island beer-battered fish ânâ chips (choose cod, halibut or salmon), oyster poâ boys, a char-grilled rare albacore tuna sandwich with sweet chili ponzu glaze, tomato âsnake biteâ salsa and wasabi mayo, or grilled salmon âtacones," all served with zesty Pacific Rim coleslaw.

If you order the braised lamb shank tagine entrée, which comes in a spicy sauce made with honey, figs, cinnamon, and cilantro, make sure you get some extra bread—you'll want it to mop up your plate.
