Hey kingy! I've tried Dine Out Vancouver a couple of times. And yes, the place gets booked pretty darn quick especially the good ones.

  I've tried the Cannery. It's s'okay if you like small portions there. The Hart House in BBY is quite good though but I hate the snobby attitude there.

  Here's the link to their site:

I usually do dine out vancouver if Im in town.

  I would stay away from teh cannery though. My dad, bro and I got food posoning on my dads 60th a few years ago. We called and complained, I even went in in person. They didnt care, so we filed with the BBB.

i had the best chocolate mousse cake last year at diva at the met.

[P.C.]

Mmmmm, sounds yummy kingy.  I once had a piece of chocolate pate in a restaurant over there, and for the life of me I can't remember where.  If I knew, I would send a cab to bring a piece over to the island for me.  It was the most decadant thing I ever ate.

I met this lady on the bus giving me this hint to go to this site:  [A href="http://www.opentable.com/"]http://www.opentable.com/[/A] and make your reservations.  She said that at last minute, she got into Gotham's Steakhouse.  Lucky her.  

  Gosh, Morton's is damn expensive.  I might try Boathouse.  I haven't been to a Dine Out yet.  It sounds divine.

[kingy]

the thing with boathouse is that you can go pretty much anytime of the year. there are usually specials or coupons in the georgia straight. for dine out, i usually try and pick out a restaurant that i normally wouldnt be able to afford.

Does this mean our date is off ?

If I remember correctly, you still owe me a cruise.....well at least you invited me.

[kingy]

the sex cruise?? im still *up* for that if you are!

[P.C.]

Oh my !!!  STILL up for it.  Where are we going?  Tahiti

It's my dream to go to the Smithsonian......can we cruise there?  Maybe we could take the scenic route.

I agree with kingy, boathouse/ carderos/ milestones are all dine out there anytime.

  Theres quite a few nice places to go to on the list. I usually go to four or more when its on in town. Last year I went to the salmon house on the north shore. Nice, but for what it was I wouldnt go on my own.

[kingy]

they just released the list of participating restaurants.

[Lise]

So what restaurants are you thinking of trying out, kingy?

[kingy]

im looking at joe fortes and cru. it looks like rob feenie is too good for this since both his restaurant isnt participating this year.

[Russ]

Hey kingy, is it that time of year again? I thought you didnt book until Feb? When does the times start for the dinners?

  Thanks for the heads up bud!
