This is located on Granville Island, on the water, under the Granville Street Bridge. The Sandbar is close to False Creek Water Ferries, bus routes, downtown, and the Vancouver Seawall.

I came here for HigherBracket.ca’s corporate Christmas dinner for X’mas 2006. Therefore, I did not spend any $$. Finding parking could be a challenge, so I recommend that you pay for parking to eliminate stress.

The restaurant feels like a lodge to me. It is decorated with a wooden effect, but with a hint of modern flavour with dimmed lights for the dinner seating. Once you are upstairs, you get a night view of Vancouver from inside or outside the patio.

If you are a seafood lover, this place is for you..freshly caught, local seafood! If you are a wine lover, check out the Crush Wine Lounge, which houses over 1800 wine bottles.

Recommended Drinks:

1. Manhattan with Crown Royal whiskey
2. Red Wine- Burrowing Owl Merlot

I did try some of the Rib Eye Steak and it was pretty good for a Seafood Restaurant.

Price – 2 thumbs up

Quality – 2 thumbs up

This is my 2nd time eating here and I will go back there again. I tried the Cioppino the last time that I was there and it was excellent. They give you a lot of broth and seafood.

With Sandbar, you get what you pay for. The Sandbar can be a nice evening out with friends, family and/or significant other. It’s not a stuffy restaurant, so dressing up to the nine is not required. The service also is excellent.

PS: Don’t forget to make reservations. At least a few days prior would be recommended.

Too much seafood,
