Dockside Cafe located towards the back of the hotel/resort, has a great view of the marina and Vancouver. Designed with a contemporary decor with no detail missed in creating a relaxing and upbeat ambience. You will find the same attention to detail and presentation in your drinks and food. With the intimate setting whether you are sitting at a booth or table, this casual restaurant is perfect for dining with your special someone or company of friends for good conversations.
We had initially visited this restaurant for pre-dinner and drinks before the show at the theatre. At that time we took advantage of the regular menu as well as Tourism Vancouver's Dine Out Vancouver presented by Visa
three-course offering. Martinis were an order, Vodka with a lemon twist and cranberry/apple caramel to celebrate the mood of the evening and the start of the weekend. We started the evening with the Louisiana Crab Cakes Cajun style crab cakes (spicy mustard sauce) and Grilled Salmon (with lentil Ragout, curried Vinaigrette) both served with a side of organic greens as appetizers. For our entrees we enjoyed the Ahi Tuna Nicoise (green beans, baby potato salad, anchovy, hard boiled egg, Calamata olives, herb-Meaux mustard vinaigrette), Braised Lamb Shank (served with Jasmine Rice) and the Butternut Squash Ravioli (smoked tomato bisque, wilted spinach, persillade). A Chocolate Terrine (with lychee and papaya puree) for dessert.
Dockside Cafe is the perfect choice to go for a pre-dinner show at the River Rock Theatre. Afterwards, head out to the Casino and take a risk for chances of winning big. Or hang out at the lounge for nightly live band entertainment.
Make an eventful evening with that special someone all under one roof!
Things to note:
1. Parking can be a challenge so consider parking in the multi level parkade. Of course parking at the higher levels mean more availability so take the elevator down to ground level.
2. Valet parking available at the front entrance or take a taxi cab.
3. If you would like to extend your stay, consider taking advantage of their hotel option. While you are at it, you can enjoy their amenities like the Absolute Spa.
