PIER 7 restaurant + bar - 'Shipyard Square' North Vancouver

So good news, they honour your $13.00 2-hr parking ticket towards meal. Bad news...if you stay longer than 2 hours you pay an addition $90.00 ...Mea culpa. The 15 minute there and back to top up my parking didn't seem worth it...at the end of...our meal. Direct cost: $86.50 for the extra 30 minutes involved. Tip: buy 3hrs!

Pier 7 has really stepped it up in the past few years their service is now excellent and the food is great (loved my salmon quinoa). They've recently extended their lower patio and it's an absolutely amazing location, right on the water with a view...of downtown. Craft beer on tap too.

We enjoy eating out and have no trouble paying for excellent food and excellent service. Upon arriving it was super busy the lady at the front asked if we had a reservation we did not so we had no expectations to get seated right away...she led us to a table inside the room was so hot it was u comfortable even the waitresses were sweating, We were great somewhat quickly by a waitress took our order the very talented bartender brought our drinks over he was smoking busy.: A little while later the owner/manger took our order, the food came fast and was very good the beer was cold, our waitress/waiter were pleasant enough but there was something definitely off with the serving staff and the owner/manager not one person looked happy or pleased to be working there . It was uncomfortably hot but smiles were not on the menu…. Except for the bartender he was pretty cool. Lots of places to eat on van, I’d say go somewhere else first,:: and the upstairs patio wasn’t open I’m guessing cuz of staffing issues.

Just finished a great relaxing dinner at the Pier 7 few hours ago , after I took my girlfriend #5 roaming West and North Vancouver for whole day ! she so impressed Deep Cove and Park Royal we both so exhausted , we...were planning go to Thai restaurant for dinner , and we are so close to Pier 7 , so we just pop in for dinner , I know their quality is excellent , it is upscale cozy restaurant with amazing view , maybe a week night , not busy at all , hostess very friendly got us a lovely indoor patio tablet , magnificent view of ocean and downtown Vancouver especially during sunset , wonderful place to rewind , girlfriend so happy with my choices , of course she want me do the ordering , this is my flavour Happy Hours hang out when I work in North Vancouver ! menu very creative , lot to choose from , not too expensive at all for seafood restaurant , special their signature Seafood Tower , variety seafood , so fresh , you can taste the ocean , good value !

Beautiful views wasted on a restaurant with below mediocre dishes. This place needs a new chef to turn things around
