Lift, Coal Harbour

What people say, in short
Lift is a waterfront seafood restaurant on the Coal Harbour seawall, recommended for its views and patio setting. One diner describes an upscale menu with plenty of seafood, and another highlights the top-floor patio's water views. A visitor recalls enjoying an afternoon shrimp cocktail on the patio while taking in the scenery, and one commenter suggests booking before sunset so the view is still visible. One diner calls it decent rather than outstanding, though a step above Cactus Club and similarly priced.
