Griffin’s @ Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

If you didn’t hear by now, it is Griffin’s 18th birthday this year and to celebrate, they are offering their menu for 50% off till the end of September.  Naturally I took advantage of this incredible deal and had dinner there with F.  She’s the best friend ever!  She offered to buy me dinner!!! We’ve [...]

The American Grille

Taking my parents out for dinner one night, we wanted good steakhouse food without travelling all the way to Downtown.  I remembered having been to The American Grille before and had a good meal there, so I decided to take my parents there. They are also in the Entertainment Book so there was all the [...]

Simba’s Grill on Denman
