Fannypack recently informed me of this little place in Chinatown that has Buck-a-Shuck happy hour…and get this…it REALLY is a buck for a shuck!!! Not $1.75, not $1.50, just $1!!! When I heard of this, I quickly scurried Hitman to the magical Oyster eXpress with me. This corner restaurant has a very rustic log house interior…the birch color […]
Just a note before we start: one of Wendy’s coworkers made a comment along the lines of, “Wow, you guys really like surprises…!”, after hearing about our latest dinner out, so at the risk of sounding too overly cute here’s just one more. Last one, we promise!! …Well at least for a good long while […]
This man never ceases to amaze me…after the shenanigans from our anniversary, I didn’t think he could surprise me again for my birthday…I mean…sure you can take me to a secret location again, but it’s just gonna be the same old food, same old experience right?? But, I repeat, this man never ceases to amaze […]
Last year my friends and I discovered the gems that are there in the $18 menu choices of Dine Out Vancouver. This year L and I continued that trend and our (well, mostly mine…my friends spoil me!!!) choice was Rocky Mountain Flatbread Company, which is mainly a pizzeria. An organic one mind you. It IS […]
There are quite a lot of places to eat around Sidney actually. SheShe 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 […]
Update Feb 15, 2014: This restaurant is now closed. If you didn’t hear by now, it is Griffins 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 Fannypack. She’s the best friend […]
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 […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. 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 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 […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. Dine Out Vancouver was good to me this year. I haven’t had a big miss and I’ve had the opportunity to hang out with new friends and have new, interesting conversations. Good times. Good times indeed. My next out was to hidden Tasting Bar and Social Lounge on Robson, […]
