Supper at Dockside was wonderful, from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The staff is welcoming and courteous. The food was scrumptious, and the atmosphere was perfect. The music was at just at the right level. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Having heard a lot of positive comments from people whose opinion I respect, I finally made it to Oddfish. Lives up to the hype! We were a group of 6 and ordered a lot of things to share. Everything was great to excellent. Love the tuna based ‘chorizo’! Swordfish ‘bacon’! And the seafood is fresh, the presentation attractive and the flavours well balanced and delicious. Our waiter also had a great sense of humour and good suggestions. Ambiance is ‘fine’ but the food will steal your heart!

We had a fantastic experience at the bar, albeit i wish the vision was less obstructed by their knives and papers and such. Watching them make the sushi is a real show, we love that part. Kim was was absolutely charming. 3 year in a row we have come for Marlow Bday! We will be back soon.

• Contemporary Canadian • Kitsilano

Lavidas is not a new fancy place; but they've done what they can to make it nice for their guests. It appears clean and reasonably kept up. The server is a very pleasant person who remembers my favourite drink and is sincerely happy to have my wife and I back as guests. The menu isn't big, but it doesn't have to be, as everything on it suits me just fine. Beef, duck, seafood pasta, muscles, etc. and plenty of good appetizers, are all exquisitely well prepared and are as good as any top restaurant in flavour. The portions are plenty enough to be able to take some home; but it's difficult to do when one is enjoying one's meal that much. The value is absolutely unbeatable! Never mind the decent prices for everything, they have an appetizer, main, and dessert package for a crazy reasonable price. Enjoy!
