Fine Dining Experience
The Fine Dining Experience at Dorivaresort House is built around two venues with deliberately different personalities - one slow and considered, one fast and fire-driven - so that whatever the evening demands, the right table exists. Chef Mara Olsen's kitchen is meant for guests who treat dinner as an event rather than a pause between activities. Local sourcing is not a marketing promise here; it is a daily logistics operation involving fishing boats, valley farms, and a network of BC producers most Vancouver restaurants have never heard of.
Inlet Table Prix-Fixe
The harbour-facing Inlet Table serves a four-to-six course prix-fixe that changes with the season and occasionally with the week - built around whatever the BC coastline and interior farms are producing at peak.
Grillhouse 48 - Open Until 2 AM
Grillhouse 48 fires prime cuts and wood-roasted vegetables until 2 AM every night of the week, timed specifically around the rhythm of guests coming off the floor and needing something substantial and immediate.
Tableside Preparation for Signature Dishes
Several signature preparations - including the dry-aged duck and the spot prawn bisque - are finished tableside, turning each course into a brief spectacle that guests at neighbouring tables always end up ordering next.
Private Dining Room for Groups
A soundproofed eight-to-fourteen-seat private dining room is available for corporate events, celebrations, and hosted meals - fully staffed with a dedicated server and a customised menu developed in advance with the chef.
Locally Sourced Tasting Menus
Seasonal tasting menus are built ingredient-first: the kitchen receives the morning's best deliveries from Steveston, the Fraser Valley, and Vancouver Island, and the menu is adjusted to reflect exactly what arrived.
Chef's Counter Experience
Four seats at the Chef's Counter provide an unobstructed view of the open kitchen - a front-row position for watching the brigade work, with a spontaneous multi-course menu built around whatever the chef wants to show you that night.
