“Surrounded by visiting rock stars, or at least glammed-up American Robson Street shoppers, you'll feel like you just landed in LA.”

Fodor's "Named for a much-loved English Bay lifeguard, this lively brasserie has a piano bar, bistro, oyster bar, and a delightful covered rooftop patio." Full review
BlackBook "Rooftop scene shifts from power lunch to a pulchritudinous crunch faster than you can say buck-a-shuck happy hour oysters."
Rough Guide "The restaurant plays the food straight: fish and seafood presented simply and without contemporary frills – and in generous portions."

"“Year after year”, this “bustling” West End “institution” “shines”, whether for “oysters and martinis” at the horseshoe bar or a “huge choice” of “excellent seafood” and steaks." Full review

"Specializing in classic American-style cooking, this restaurant in the heart of Vancouver buzzes with personality." Full review
The Infatuation "Joe Fortes has been a Vancouver staple since it opened...and it’s still as charming as it’s always been. It’s a three-storey restaurant with a lot of chandeliers, servers wearing ties" Full review

Go for Happy Hour - just make sure you get there early to get in line - or head downstairs and enjoy things like lobster rolls, seafood towers, and prawn cocktails while you watch their staff shuck oysters a lot faster than you’ll ever be able to.
Frommer's "It’s considered Vancouver’s best oyster bar...food is usually simply prepared and pretty traditional. The real star here, though, is the service." Full review
