3. Harborview Restaurant & Bar
Offers a variety of seafood options with a stunning view of the Bay

When the sun is shining, make sure to seize the opportunity to dine al fresco and relish in Harborview's outdoor seating area. While most dishes shine brightly, particularly the savory buns that are sure to tantalize your taste buds, the Peking duck might not meet expectations for some discerning palates. There's a noticeable inconvenience with bones in the duck that could have been better addressed. Despite this minor setback, the overall dining experience at Harborview remains a testament to their dedication to delivering top-notch Cantonese cuisine in a welcoming setting that beckons you to return time and time again.

4. Hillstone
Upscale dining with a focus on Asian-inspired dishes

While Hillstone may dazzle with its carnivorous offerings, vegan diners might find the menu somewhat lacking in options. Despite the limited selection, the veganized sides of broccolini and tabouli shine brightly, offering bursts of flavor amidst a predominantly meat-centric landscape.
