Fodor's Review:

Named for a much-loved English Bay lifeguard, this lively brasserie just off Robson Street has a piano bar, a bistro, an oyster bar, and a delightful covered rooftop patio. The menu is wide-ranging, but steaks, chops, and generous portions of fresh seafood are the main draw. Try the cedar-planked salmon, the cioppino (a seafood stew), or the Seafood Tower on Ice—a lavish assortment that's meant to be shared.

Loved our meal on the balcony overlooking the restaurant. Mario our waiter was phenomenal and we loved our premium oysters and SockEye salmon. We had reservations and this made our delightful experience.
The outside patio on 2nd floor is atrocious. DO NOT even peek in there as you will be overwhelmed with cigar and cigarette smoke!!!
