Prime location with beautiful interiors. Appetizers were really good but I wouldn’t recommend their jackfruit plant based tacos for someone who enjoys more taste on their palate.

Great patio on a nice day. Friendly staff and good food. I would change the reservation system to reflect the inability to specify indoor or outdoor at lunch time as apparently that is against company policy. Luckily was not an issue for us.

I was surprised at the (lack of) service this time. We were seated at a dirty table and left there for over 5 minutes while staff went back and forth by our table. We used to get awesome service here. Food and drinks were good, though. I still like this place and would go back. Maybe an off night for them.

Good location if you get a spot outside. Good food but pricey for what you get. Had a reservation but felt like we were just shoved in an awkward corner. Strange mishmash decor.

Good food as always with large portions … enough that we all had leftovers the next day. Very accommodating with allergy concerns. Would recommend the Jambalaya and Fisherman’s Hot Pot according to the kids. Service was attentive without being bothersome. Food came promptly but we did not feel rushed.

Charlie Don’t Surf is a great funky local restaurant on the White Rock waterfront. Front tables and the deck have a fantastic view over the water. Food is typically not fancy but is varied and very good. Servers are generally young, enthusiastic, and friendly. It’s worth a visit.
