For my last Dine-out experience of 2010, we went to a place called The Refinery which is located on Granville. It’s a very small restaurant located on top of Sip Lounge (I think they’re owned by the same people). However it has quite an intimate setting and we were impressed. For my appetizer I picked [...]
