The Sandbar Seafood Restaurant

The Sandbar Seafood Restaurant is one of the best seafood restaurants in Vancouver for date night, especially if you want a strong option in South Granville.

The Sandbar occupies a specific psychic territory that South Granville's more self-serious dining rooms have never quite figured out: it knows how to make a night feel like an occasion without making you feel like you're being graded on your wine order.
