Reviews for Ancora Waterfront Dining and Patio - False Creek in Vancouver, BC

Beautiful welcoming sunny patio was perfect to enjoy this seafood platter for two and crab taco. The food was so very good,... fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. The staff are lovely and explain each dish when delivering to your table. Some yummydrink choices available as well. A really great spot. Will absolutely return. Read more

Food is good however they don’t have the right technique of cooking duck. The duck skin is not rendered properly so it’s not... crispy and has some fats in it. But the dish is flavourful and presented nicely. The service is good and the place is cozy. Read more

had an enjoyable night eating here! my friends and i ate here and watched the sun set at the patio! and i'm telling you, the... view is absolutely great! you definitely want to come check here out. 10/10! Read more

The overall experience was good. I went on a Sunday for lunch with some friends, seafood products were very fresh but I found... the portion of cebiche small, the seafood tower for 4 people was expensive regarding the amount of portion (minuscule mussels).The acevichado roll was delicious and the lobster and shrimp risotto very tasty. We asked for two different desserts, Iparticularly preferred tres leeches because picarones were not well done, I just liked the lucuma ice cream in that dessert. Weordered pisco sour as well, it was ok but kind of strong. I realized that the lunch menu from the website was not the sameoffered in the restaurant which is a shame cause I wanted to ask for the seafood pasta, Peruvian style paella and Peruvian porkbelly sandwich. The service was good an the prices for some dishes kind of expensive. Being honest, I was expecting more. Read more

I booked a reservation here for a friend's birthday. I called in advance and asked them to add a dessert to my bill. I specified... that I'd like "happy birthday" written on the plate for my friend. The male who answered said they were out of melted chocolatebut would do something special to make up for it. We arrived on a weekday and it was rather quiet, which was expected. We weregreeted and seated quickly. In short, the service from our server was great but the food wasn't anything special. We orderedoysters, hamachi carpaccio, and a the Dungeness crab roll to start. For my entree, I ordered the 6oz tenderloin (not pictured).The best part of our meal was the dessert. We ordered Peruvian donuts (picarones). Delicious. I'd also like to add that althoughthe restaurant said they'd do something small for my friends birthday, they never did. Very disappointing. The 3 stars are forour friendly, amazing server and the picarones but wouldn't recommend. Read more

Great dinner and great service. The Ancora Glacier was awesome and I loved the tenderloin which you can custom order. Will... definitely be back. Read more

Nice waterfront dining location, too bad it was too cold to enjoy the patio. My favourite item we tasted was the scallops, good... contrast of flavours and textures, but the tacos were a miss for me. The menu is nice and big, it also has a sushi section (tooI couldn't taste it). The service was good. Read more

Went there for my work's Christmas party so we got a group menu versus the regular menu. All the food that we got was great. My... favourites are the Shrimp and the tiramisu. The service was excellent. We would definitely come back but only for specialoccasions. Read more
