White Rock's top-ranked Marine Drive kitchen, where BC spot prawns and a cozy patio make Tuesday feel like a proper anniversary.
Marine Drive waterfront
More infoUli's sits half a block off the White Rock promenade with a patio cozy enough to make a Tuesday feel like an anniversary someone actually planned. It earned its number-one ranking out of eighty-six Marine Drive kitchens honestly: BC spot prawns, a spot-prawn linguini worth timing for the Semiahmoo Bay sunset, and a wine list that doesn't flinch at a second glass. Best of all, nobody here rushes you out.
Reserve ahead on Tock and ask specifically for a window or patio table angled at the water, not the inland tables by the door. Order the BC spot-prawn linguini when prawns are in season (roughly May-June) and the award-winning burger if they're not, and split the two so you both win. Time your reservation about 90 minutes before sunset so you're on dessert and a last glass of wine as the light turns gold over Semiahmoo Bay. Don't miss asking the server what came in fresh that morning, Uli's flips the seafood by the day and the off-menu specials are usually the best thing in the building. Parking on Marine Drive is brutal, so use the lots up the hill on Victoria Ave or Vidal St and walk down, then take the easy promenade stroll afterward instead of fighting for a closer spot.
