Good food, somewhat spendy for a family joint but great views of the river.
We celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday at this restaurant last night, and I have to say that we all really enjoyed ourselves. Like any restaurant on an extremely busy Friday night, we did experience a minor glitch in our overall experience, but what set this place apart was their level of concern for our happiness and the attempts by management and staff to set it right. We were simply blown away by their attentiveness. It was obvious that the management takes a very hands-on approach and maintains a respectable presence. In addition, the service was impeccable, the food was great, and the prices were reasonable. What more could you ask for? Well, the parking is a little tight, but we managed to find a spot just half a block away, which was just fine. Overall: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.…
Beaches in Vancouver. I have been visiting Beaches since it opened 16 years ago. Over the years my tastes have changed and they always have something on the menu I like. My favorite has to be the seafood fettucine; it is so creamy and delicious and they will take out anything in it you don't want. That is the best thing about Beaches, the employees. Always nice and willing to go the extra mile for their customers. Which is why it is a shame many of them no longer work there, because they have many regular customers who like to visit them and be waited on by them. The reason they aren't there anymore? The owner, Mark. He will fire anyone who says one tiny thing he doesn't like, even the best servers who have worked there for 11 years. From personal family experience with this restaurant, I will continue to go, but I advise anyone who gets attatched to people, don't be so sure they will be there to greet you and help you next time. The food and people are absolutley amazing here, but the ownership, Mark, definately needs some work.…
6 Stars--DON"T listen to the few bad reviews....
Wow---I just happened to run into these reviews By accident when looking to call up to do take out and I could not believe the 2 negative reviews,,,Obviously a disgruntled employee or jealous
restaurant owner ,,I have been coming to Beaches since the day they opened and all I can say is Wow...Mark the manager,,,has created a wonderful place were not only locals but people traveling will experiance what dining should be ...aI have run many different Businesses and have always admired how they have created one of the best when it comes to service ,,nothing beats Beaches the staff is amazing ,,,the food is always perfect-Well almost when it isn't...they refuse to let you continue till it is perfect,,,and after many years of dining there and being a chef myself I can honestly say this is in the top 5 I have ever eaton at and when you get your bill it will not reflect that...In fact --shush don't tell any one but --I think they are way under priced,,,,,never hesitate Beaches,,,is by far one of the best restarunts in the Northwest
Russ,,,,,maybe you know me -I can not tell a lie…
If I could give a ZERO star rating, I would!. My husband and I never received worst service at a restaurant. We arrived at Beaches at 7:00 pm. Sat at the bar and were avoided for 15 minutes while and older gentleman to my right was served almost immediately. A woman slipped on food right in front of me in the lounge grabbing me as she went down. Employees were passing by and not one person asked if the woman was okay. Once we were seated outside we sat at a TINY two seater table, while 3 4 seaters were available outside. About 10 minutes later two younger girl were seated at a 4 seater next to us while the other tables remained available. Our food was terrible. My husband sent his burger back due to gross bacon only to be told it would take 5 minutes. 20 minutes later we were checked on and passed our point of tolerance. We denied the burger to even come out, but was convinced to take it with us. My salad dressing tasted like pickes, but was afraid of the outburst I would have caused by complaining also. By the time we FINALLY received the check it was 8:30 pm. Not only was the service awful, but we sufferred through the time of avoidance no matter where we were seated, or what we asked for. Our server seemed to be a new employee, or one who didn't know what she was doing. The burger was taken off our order, but I can guarantee we will never go back, or to any other Beaches. The best thing about the visit was the view from the patio. Too bad Beaches can't claim to have made that.…
