Watermark is centrally located on the beach at
the north end of Arbutus Street, immediately north of
the tennis courts. Parking is available adjacent to the restaurant. By public
transit, Bus 258 or 22 on Burrard Street will take you to within
steps of the restaurant. By car from the city centre, take Burrard Street across the bridge, bear
right onto Cornwall and right onto Arbutus.
Watermark on Kits Beach is a short beachside walk from Granville Island.
Watermark’s goal was to design a contemporary
facility that balanced our world famous location by creating a building that
utilizes geo-thermal heating and cooling, solar shading, and natural
ventilation methods to increase the project's overall energy efficiency.
The menu reflects the best of both traditional
and contemporary seafood, while incorporating the unique international flavors
of Vancouver. The product is local
and utilizes a variety of organic and environmentally sensitive ingredients
onto the menu.

The Trinchero family immigrated to the US from northern Italy in the 1920s. In 1948
they moved to Napa Valley and purchased an
abandoned 19th-century winery called Sutter Home. In 1960, the second
generation of Trincheros took over and, at the end of the decade, moved the
winery away from bulk sales and into bottled varietal wines. In the early 1970s
the Trincheros gained a lofty reputation among consumers, press and gatekeepers
for their single-vineyard Zinfandels out of Amador County. They were, in fact,
among the first of California's boutique wineries to
recognize the potential of the Sierra Foothills.
Fifty years later, to honor their heritage and
long history in Napa Valley, the family launched
Trinchero Winery. The Trinchero wines are divided into two tiers. The Napa
Reserve wines are single-vineyard bottlings featuring grapes from the family's
200 acres of estate vineyards in Napa Valley. The Trinchero Family
wines showcase the Napa vineyards plus 200
acres in Lake County and 525 acres in Santa Barbara County.
