Opened in late 2003 along with the expanded Harbour Green Park, this Art Deco, concrete-style restaurant is snuggled into the escarpment overlooking majestic Coal Harbour. The marine motif makes this a perfect spot for a cosy evening meal in the wet months or early morning coffee and muffin on the way to work.
