Canadian casual dining on a harbour-view patio

A West Coast casual-dining chain locals call reliably good, and the Coal Harbour branch has an unfair location. Through the glass and from the patio you watch floatplanes land against the North Shore mountains. Bowls, pastas and chicken lettuce wraps are easy for any palate. Happy hour runs daily 2-5pm and again late at night, and bottles of wine are half price on Tuesdays.
