Boathouse Restaurant - Vancouver

I have always been a Boathouse fan because I absolutely love seafood and the always have a decent happy hour.

I wished that the food went with the viewThis is a great place to stop by after a stroll through the park.

Looking for lunch at the English Bay, Vancouver and were recommended to visit The Boathouse.As my husband is disabled we were seated at a table close to the bar (Ground floor). Most of the other guests were seated on the Upper floor. Therefore, we felt a bit lonely.The staff was very attentive. We didn't wait long for the food. My husband had a pasta with seafood, I had Ahi Tuna. Both dishes were very tasteful.

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

My friends and I went for a meal to try out Vancouver's seafood and was reccomended here. The place was quaint, decent scenery, spacious, the waitresses were friendly and helpful but nothing exceptional. I opted for the surf and turf but instead of a steak asked for king crab with my lobster. So the meal takes a while but comes and it was incredible, probably one of the best seafoods I've ever had. The issue I had when I got the bill, $90. So despite substituting they billed me full price for both combo meals, despite me not recieving any steaks. While the meal was good it was not 90$ good, I mean for 90$ i assumed they handpicked the lobster and crab from damn Spongebob.
