Blue Water Cafe and Raw Bar in Yaletown

March 1, 2010

I haven’t been to the Blue Water Cafe + Raw Bar for quite awhile now – I’ve only been about four or five times to date, but have really enjoyed it every time I’ve gone. When I found out that it was open for lunch during the Olympics after walking by it over the last [...]

Raincity Grill in the West End of Vancouver

February 8, 2010

In the middle of last week, there were eight of us trying to decide what to do for a good friend’s birthday that just passed on Friday. He didn’t want to celebrate at all since he hasn’t been in the mood for cheeriness about aging since his 30th, so instead of doing dinner or having [...]

The Sandbar Seafood Restaurant on Granville Island

December 7, 2009

Yesterday we thought we’d get out of the usual downtown bubble and take the Aquabus to Granville Island to have a late lunch at Sandbar. I used to work in the Pacific Culinary Arts School office building about five years ago, and used to frequent this place for dinner quite a bit – by now it’s probably been about two [...]

Coast Seafood Restaurant: From Coast to Coast

November 27, 2009

Yesterday, I went to lunch with a couple of female co-workers and we decided to head over to Coast Restaurant in their newer location on Alberni. I’m not sure if it was what I chose to eat, but I think I liked the food at the old Yaletown spot better. Somehow, even though the atmosphere was larger and [...]
