I decided to take my cousin here for her birthday on a Saturday night. I ended up making a reservation on the way to the restaurant through their website. I decided to order the off menu halibut, which apparently was their specialty. My cousin went for the beef short ribs. We also ordered a side of mash potatoes. The halibut was nice and crispy and the few vegetables on the dish were well seasoned. The only thing is that their portions are really small,so I'm happy we decided to each order mash potatoes. And we also asked for some spicy mayo to help give the mash potatoes some flavour. The maitre d was so kind and brought us out three different kinds of sauces. We also ordered the chocolate ganache cake, thankfully it was free since it was my cousins birthday. It didn't taste very good at all.
What a beautiful setting for brunch right on the water. Very relaxing place to watch the world go by as we sat & ate of soft shell tempura crab. The menu is very affordable & the food super fresh
“Picky Diner” and I were jumping from location to location and this would be the second destination for our third round of drinks, on our impromptu Coal Harbour Cocktails on the Patio Crawl. “The Lift” is a restaurant that is known for its view, with the name that promises and delivers on a boost, to make you one of the best. It is located at the further most point of the Seawall walk, and at this end, it gave you a look back and the distance you travelled to get here.
Smart and surprisingly affordable lunch menu with a fantastic view. The shrimp and fish tacos were very filling, fresh and served on corn tortillas. Service was also very friendly and attentive. They have a killer patio as well. Dinner menu is quite a bit more expensive, but looked great as well.

Looking for a spot to go happy hour, I suggested we try Lift Bar & Grill. It’s situated by the water along the seawall before you enter Stanley Park. The restaurant has an awesome patio outside perfect for the summer. Happy hour is from 3-6pm daily, but unfortunately, you can only sit at the bar for happy hour. The bar seats around 10-15 people, so be sure to arrive early!
Fabulous deck, great view, and they have sliding sunshades to help you enjoy the outdoors without getting sunstroke but the chef was too liberal with the salt. I had fish and chips, great crunch to the batter, halibut was lovely but fries were over salted as was the coleslaw, compared to mine, my table mates crab cakes were bland. The view is great and you feel a bit as though you are on a ship as you wind up the staircase and through the narrow halls. Bit pricey but you always pay for a killer view! 5 stars for location and ambiance, the menu had lots that looked yummy and worth a try, I'll go back and try again.
What a lovely place. I love the food and the atmosphere, the view was amazing. The service could have been better, the server seemed in a hurry, and never really answered my questions. But the view was too good, to have this ruined my day. Highly recommend this place! Would definitely come back.
Location, Location, Location I've loved this spot, design, concept since I found out it was being built 16 years ago.
They had some rough spots service wise & quality wise some time ago but they've put that long behind them.
Hit the back half of Happy Hour (3-6pm daily)
Bison Pate, Tempura Calamari & Tako roll all were nicely done. Taco Roll in particular hit the spot.
Four Winds IPA & A Stanley Park Pilsner( love these guys)
Our Server was really good, pleasant, efficient, attentive.
On a nice day out of town customers, especially landlocked ones, will be blow away.
It can be quite busy after 5 if it's really nice out. Reserve in advance, always a good idea.
Good little selection of wines by the glass. (Wine Wednesdays)
They could tone down the music a notch so that it doesn't compete with conversation at the table,
I'll be spending a few afternoons here this summer for sure.
