This place has gone through its fair share of ups and downs. The prices have slowly creeped up as they have decided to cater more towards tourists. In the past we were greeted by grim looking staff at the front door that acted as if we were a bother. We have lived on the North Shore for many years and... More

The menu is great, I have never had a bad dish. I appreciate their interesting and well put together salads (its hard to get a salad worth eating some places!). They have a nice selection of beer and wine and the ambiance is just perfect - its cozy and intimate inside, and brunch or lunch on the patio cannot be... More

Went to the Arms Reach Bistro on a whim. Boy were we happy we did. The food was served piping hot and it was tasty and very well presented. Service was very friendly but still professional. We will definitely be returning.

Over this past fabulous weekend, we enjoyed several dinners at Arms Reach. Choose seating on the patio overlooking Deep Cove, sun setting in the west, lighting the snow on the far peaks. Menu selection was creative and diverse. The wine selection equally superb. Service was attentive and engaged but not "too". In all, it was a very pleasant stay in... More

It was okay but the entrees were very average and disappointing. We had relatives in town and they wanted to go to a restaurant with a view. They had suggested a restaurant in town but we mentioned to them that the food there was overpriced and not very good. We settled on Arms Reach Bistro. It was really busy on... More

The restaurant is really nice and the location is spectacular. We stopped there for a late lunch while on our way to Whistler from Seattle. We had a very short wait and were lucky the weather was amazing. A caution however is this establishment does not take American Express which to me makes no sense at all. I will not... More

We went to the Arms Reach to celebrate a belated birthday with my best bud and her hubby. From the moment we arrived we were quickly ushered to our seats & began our amazing evening. Everything we ordered was truly amazing; from the wine, crab cakes, beef carpaccio, steelhead trout, butter chicken, seafood linguine & last but not least, the... More

A local recommended this restaurant to us and we're very glad she did. We had a great meal in a very pleasant atmosphere and the service was excellent. This will be a destination restaurant for us in the future.

This has got to be one of the nicest locations in North Vancouver with nice friendly service and reasonably priced. The food is consistently good but not spectacular. Portion sizes totally fine. I find it a little loud but wouldn't hesitate to go back - and have done so - many times.
