Beacon Landing Seafood Restaurant

There are quite a lot of places to eat around Sidney actually.  Roomie and I were just lazy and didn’t want to walk far from our lodging, so we had a few meals at the MickeyD’s next door unfortunately. But we got all dressed up one night for  a Wine & Cheese at the local [...]

Cork and Fin

It was Mom’s birthday this month so Pretty Sis and I took her and some other family members to a place interestingly called Cork and Fin in Gastown.  I guess by that name it means they specialize in wines and seafood?? They are a participant of the Let’s Go For Dinner program which gives you [...]

Dine Out Vancouver 2010: The Refinery

For my last Dine-out experience of 2010, we went to a place called The Refinery which is located on Granville.

My next out was to hidden Tasting Bar and Social Lounge on Robson, inside the Westin Grand. As the [...]

Time for Dine Out again!  I thought I’ll quickly churn out this post while there’s still some time left for those of you that are looking for reviews before choosing a restaurant. This time, Mom chose Seasons in the Park as she really enjoyed it last time and it was close to Pretty Sis’ birthday. [...]

Water St. Cafe

I’ve always liked Water St. Cafe in Gastown.  It is a relatively affordable restaurant with a nice atmosphere and good food.  This year they’re celebrating their 21st anniversary so they were offering a Whole Lobster entree for just $20.  I of course took advantage of this. Upon entering the restaurant, I found it was quite [...]

Pinky’s Steakhouse & Cocktail Lounge

The night we had dinner at Pinky’s was during the Olympics.  As expected, anywhere else from the Downtown core has very little business during those two weeks, doesn’t matter what day of the week. Pinky’s, being in Kitsilano, was no exception.  We were probably the 3rd table there that whole night. Which was fine with [...]
