We go here for special dinners with family and friends in order to create great memories. We have had many good times at this waterfront restaurant and we usually arrive by boat. #wandahalpert

If you feel like eating fine fresh food like king crab , lobster and tuna I'll recomend you to order the tower, it would be enough for two.

The Sandbar may be known for its seafood but the G.I. Burger is some next level deliciousness!

Michael Cabot

No hesitation. Eat here. Fish was fresh and tasty. I had the hot pot which was good but would get something else. Wife loved the sushi and sashimi . Jordan was awesome. Kids pizza was not good.

Ulises Arcos

Delicious don't forget to try oysters and the fries (the best I had ever tried), it is a good inversion. Pretty good service and the red lager superb :)

Finn B

Really great restaurant with lot's more on the menu than just seafood . Great service. Awesome view of the city from upstairs. Enjoy.

Nathan Wright

Relaxed atmosphere and great seafood . Crash here after a day of whale watching or exploring Granville Island .

Best salmon burger EVER. It's not fishy tasting and has a grilled taste to it - 5 stars, try it!

Richelle Marie

I love the actual space. Food varies in quality. Definitely go for seafood ! Patio is amazing. Great beer selection .

Tasty tuna steak in a nice woody place. Wine is a bit expensive altough...

Anna Jorgensen

Beautiful views , only 3 choices on weekend #brunch menu , Benny ok, service good. Better for seafood dinners for sure! ????????????

Carmen Becerril

The patio is beautiful, but also inside the decor is outstanding and the chairs very comfortable , more like a living Room ones

This is the perfect place to go for lunch after you explore the Public Market .

Always check out the fresh fish list first! You cannot go wrong!

Deborah

Great seafood and awesome, fast service . Had a group of 19 ppl and the food came out in a timely fashion and no orders were messed up. Try the scallop kabobs and black cod (sablefish ).

Kenneth

The blackened fish tacos are the best. Get a side fries and share it for lunch .

Juan Zuno

The terrace is warm and cozy even in winter, if you are still cold they have blankets available!

Arash Narchi

Loved the GI burger but the real treat was Mr Kelly on the piano (plays Sunday - Thursday)

Isabella Carneiro

Nice place to go for the ambience and good food! Had the King Pao shrimp bowl, which was fresh and delicious!

Doesn’t matter the season, the patio is memorable! Overlooking the paddlers in the bay and downtown the view and delish seafood are worth the trip!

Shelley Chen

They have an amazing patio . Make sure to get the mussels ! It's a great place to have seafood with a view .

Zsolt Szénási

Thnx Tony! Best crab cake Ever!!!! The special Salmon , the spicy need to be "Szena's Style" ;)

Hoshi Sushi at Sandbar is a must-try by Chef Tsutomu Hoshi.

Sarah Yu

Sit in Rene's section: best server ever! Order the mussels they are never overdone and always plump & juicy! The bread is chewy fresh and Granville Island winter ale goes pairs perfectly with all!

J B

Pricy but exceptional food. Get whatever is fresh for that day.

The local beer is good
