Came here for my partner’s birthday. Nice decor and ambiance, good location and friendly staff. We ordered several different dishes, but the Ancora glacier platter stood out the most to us, as the quality of the seafood and the flavour profiles were fantastic. The food was delicious, but the octopus tagliatelle’s noodles were cooked unevenly, and when we were offered a birthday “dessert” it was two tiny cookies, which I found odd. Pricing and portion sizes are typical for a seafood restaurant of this standard.

Turkish belowWe had plans to visit the Ferry Building Gallery which is across the street. So we made an early dinner reservation. Which gave us the chance to enjoy the lovely view.We had a wonderful dinner experience. Everything was very good. When explaining the dishes our waiter was going into a trans and picking the right words for every detail.We'll definitely go back when we are back in town.We had planned to visit the Ferry Building Gallery just across the street. We made an early dinner reservation for after the visit.It was a good idea to be early because we enjoyed the view.It was a very nice evening. The food and service were very good.The waiter looking at us was as if he was going into a trance while explaining the dishes and explaining the smallest details. It was a very nice evening.We will definitely go again when we come to Vancouver again.

Atmosphere is casual, servers are nice! BUT the food however was NOT SO great ?. We had a few menu items to share, then a lunch item each. The mussels only were EXCELLENT?-creamy sauced with dipping bread!✅️ We had a large lobster and shrimp sushi roll-NOTHING special at all even for that approx. price of 1 roll for $16.00!! I only "trusted" that the lobster was in the finely minced shrimp filling- BUT you could NOT taste it-and we are VERY familiar with lobster -being from back East coast! We also tried the mixed wild- type mushrooms dish-again disappointing -no nothing. NO flavour- and the mushrooms were too uncooked. We then each had a menu item of risotto with lobster and shrimp. AGAIN- NOT what we even hoped for...several very tiny shrimp- and maybe 2 slivers of lobster each, in each plate! It was just TOO thick as opposed to being creamy- and it was al dente!? It tasted so bland. Sorry -but we WON'T go back. ❌️The menu really didn't even have enough choices even. ESPECIALLY as well for younger children! Not even soups!Parking: Busy businesses next door, so had to go underground.Wheelchair accessibility: Right off the street/sidewalk

Beautiful atmosphere and fantastic service. The food is good but disappointing in some ways. It takes elements of Peruvian food and mixes them up, sometimes making dishes that are a little too spicy, too concentrated and have too many different flavors going on. Portions are small, in general. The duck is well served, with 4-5 pieces of duck breast and a good amount of rice. The octopus tagliatelle was very small. It was a tiny amount of pasta with 3 pieces of octopus.

Ancora has dropped off. Food is disgusting now (except for the sable fish w/ quinoa and the sorbet dessert)Overly seasoned because they want to cover up the cheaper quality of seafood they are using now.The brussel sprouts were so disappointing, they looked so crispy when brought out, but when I had one it was this disgusting little soggy over seasoned fart ball.Most disappointing was the baked oyster and scallops motoyaki, it didn't have oyster meat! Not even one oyster meat, the waiter said it's baking with recycled shell. So in a dish, where the second word was oyster, it didn't have any oyster meat just the shell.Also my tea cup was dirty.Anyway, probably won't come back again.

Great atmosphere and very attentive staff.Sashimi was fresh and tasty as staff mentioned.Mussels were overcooked and started to shrink.Beef burger meat was something I didn’t expected. Pale in color, Very chewy and dense. Bun looked like buttery brioche type and I didn’t like it.
Stunning location. After a little beach stroll on a glorious day, I popped in for a snack and a glass of wine. Eric tended to my table, and was a consummate pro. The manager touched my table, and introduced me to a new wine varietal, that was just right with a beautiful "Sushi Pizza." I will be back.

Overall good experience. The servers were friendly and attentive. The ambient was nice and cozy. The appetizers (bread and sushi pizza) were very good. The main course could've been better. We had the shrimp risotto and the duck. Both could have had a bit more salt and taste. Overall, they were good. Drinks were really enjoyable. I had an old fashioned and it was one of the best ones I had in a long time
