Marinaside Grill - Vancouver

The restaurant is very inviting. The service was excellent and our waiter, Colin, was friendly and efficient. For brunch, we enjoyed the Spanish and Marina Grill Seafood omelettes.

I visited Marina Side Grill on a Friday night and tried the Marina Bake, which is their specialty dish.

I recently enjoyed an amazing brunch at this restaurant over the weekend! I ordered the Spanish omelette and was impressed by the generously sized portion, which was served with my favorite salsa.

We've eaten here many times. The stickey ribs were famous and the patio overlooking the marina great. Fast forward to me becoming celiac (gluten allergy) and I've got a problem. Their "home-made BBQ sauce" isn't home made. It comes from somewhere and the chef doesn't know the ingredients! So none of the rib sauces were acceptable. A salad, chicken, or a steak was the best they could do. My wife had the stickey ribs($13.95) and said they were as good as ever. Thanks, honey. I had a filet ($18.95), which was very good. The salad had crutons in it(they're made from wheat). And I couldn't eat the vegetables because of a sauce on them, so my salad was a substitution, which cost an extra $2. Insult to injury.The patio is torn apart because it was unsafe--big project to fix it. The inside restaurant is really old and dark. It's a decent place in the sun on the patio, but can it survive the loss of it's deck? Probably not. I won't be back.

The food is actually quite good and have nice big deck. The restraunt is really, really dated. 1980's. Dark oak and depressing, feels dirty. Needs more than big sunny deck to get me to return
