The GOODS from Dockside

Vancouver, BC | On Thursday, October 27th, Dockside Restaurant and Brewing Company at the Granville Island Hotel is celebrating 10 years of great food, views and hospitality with an Anniverdary Cask Party. Dockside will be welcoming friends old and new to sample a cask of special Anniversary Ale to be tapped at 6:30 sharp and free appetizers being served from 6:30-7:30pm. Details after the jump…

Dockside’s anniversary year has been an exciting one highlighted by the completion of a major two-year patio renovation. Dockside’s beloved patio was completely reimagined with the addition of an elegant gazebo for Vancouver’s most scenic al fresco dining experience along with new open air fireplaces and casual seating areas. Reviews have been unanimous in praise for the new patio and accolades have flowed in from Vancouver Magazine, the Georgia Straight, the Vancouver Sun, Granville Magazine and many others.

“This has been a great year for the Dockside Restaurant and we’re looking forward the celebrating the year and the anniversary on October 27th”, said General Manager Glenn Cormier. “Even though summer has come to an end, we’re excited for a busy fall with Culture Days this coming weekend, the Vancouver Writers Festival and the continuation of our popular Jazz & Blues Brunch through the end of October.”

Along with a selection of appetizers from the menus of Chef Jeff Batt, a special keg of spiced Pelican Bay Brown Ale is being prepared by Brewmaster Mark Simpson. Perfect for the Fall, Pelican Bay is a Dockside favourite and just one of the beers which are brewed in-house and served fresh in the Dockside restaurant and lounge.

About Dockside

The Dockside Restaurant offers superbly prepared classic dishes in a setting like no other. Located on the waterfront where Granville Island faces the city, guests can enjoy panoramic views across False Creek to the world-famous cityscape of Yaletown and beyond to the mountains of the North Shore.

The open dining room is relaxed yet refined, wrapped in spectacular floor to ceiling windows, while the lounge offers warm intimate surroundings for evening cocktails. The award-winning patio catches sunlight from morning to late afternoon. Protected on three sides it’s an oasis of calm, disturbed only by the occasional sound of boats making their way along False Creek. Recent renovations have added fireplaces and casual seating areas to this Vancouver destination.

These three venues offer seating options that are perfect for groups from 4 to 200. With signature elements like a 50-foot aquarium and an open kitchen, each meal is an experience for all the senses. Located adjacent to the boutique Granville Island Hotel, the Dockside Restaurant is open seven days a week serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Reservations are recommended.

Reviews

“This is our very favorite place. We drive into town from Delta and make an evening of browsing through Granville Isl. Market. The restaurnat is perfect for a quiet evening.View is wonderful. I appreciate the spacious arrangement of the tables. We have our favorite table, the staff and service is fabulous. I had the herb crusted Halibut – it was delicious and my husband enjoyed the slate fish. It was a memorable evening. We look forward to another visist very soon. As well, we have enjoyed the great patio – has to be one of Vancouver’s best.” OpenTable.com

“We have going to Vancouver for many years and most recently (if twenty years can be considered recently) staying exclusively at the wonderful Graville Island Hotel. Because we have an aversion to hotel restaurants, this is the first time we have had dinner there. It was one of the finest dinners we have in a city that is known for its fine restaurants. Outstanding in every way!” OpenTable.com

“We enjoyed the welcoming feel of the restaurant – appropriate lighting, comfortable seating – it is like a comfortable dining room. We will return again as the restaurant has once again met our expectations. The salmon was nicely prepared and the lamb was well presented and excellent on the tongue. Service was well-timed and friendly, wines were affordable.” OpenTable.com
