More information on Lift Bar and Grill

Time will tell how Lift holds up as a restaurant, but for now it's the hottest new place in town and weekends are jammed. Built on pilings right on Coal Harbour, and with an outdoor roof patio, it offers gorgeous mountain, water, and city views. The interior is luxe, with an illuminated onyx bar and different seating areas for drinking or eating or both. As for the contemporary West Coast cuisine -- well, the kitchen hasn't really smoothed out yet, so dishes can be hit or miss. In the evening, the restaurant serves "whet plates," larger than an appetizer but smaller than an entree, so you can dine on dishes such as mussels with prosciutto, basil and white wine or fig braised beef short ribs. Or you can order main courses such as ahi tuna, spiced paella, or roast free-range chicken breast with warm honey and truffle-infused potato salad. The Sunday brunch is hopping, too, and is reasonably priced. The wine list here is good, but with a 300% markup, don't expect to find any bargain delights to accompany your meal. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
