Yesterday Portland, Oregon based McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurants, Inc. announced the opening of their new The Boathouse location on Kits Beach where Watermark used to stand.
McCormick & Schmick’s is the publicly-traded parent company of Boathouse Restaurants of Canada and this is the seventh Canadian restaurant – they operate 96 in total worldwide.
The new The Boathouse Restaurant is located directly on the water overlooking Kitsilano Beach, one of Vancouver’s most popular recreational beaches, and features panoramic views of English Bay and the North Shore mountains.
“We’re very excited about adding this new location to our family of The Boathouse Restaurants,” said Bill Freeman, chief executive officer of McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurants, Inc. “With its spectacular waterfront views and easy access to one of the premier beaches in the Vancouver area, we anticipate this location will be a prime dining destination for locals and visitors alike.”
McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurants operates 96 restaurants, including 89 restaurants in the United States and seven restaurants in Canada under The Boathouse brand.
Let’s hope their restaurant experience brings some great success to Kits Beach.
