  1. to take with a grain a salt: 6-million $$ project. a 200 seat restaurant plus a take-out. I think they're planning on offering all kinds of different food: italian, chinese, japanese... and my bet is that none will be good... Supposedly they want to use some local ingredients... But as business oriented as they seem to be, i kinda doubt it. Opening is about 2 to 3 months away. ← It's to be called Watermark, I believe, as discussed in a previous thread.
  2. Pair Bistro on 10th and Alma is an easy busride or 5 min cab ride from the uiversity. (disclosure - they advertise with me). We've enjoyed several nice meals there - everything BC harvested. Great local art on display as well.
  3. "Back to sushi.... how about that place on 4th and Burrard? Has a name that I obviously can’t remember.... Sam's been there I think..." Hi. My first post. And here's the full disclosure. I work for a magazine. I work in sales. Advertising sales. Some of you may be my clients, or competitors of my clients. So I am clearly the anti-Christ to egulletters. (Hey, that was fun - I've never used an emoticon before!) However, my husband and I dine out frequently, and I work with many restaurants. So I might be slightly qualified to contribute, oh, maybe one post a year. And will always disclose any bias. So, sushi at 4th and Burrard - there is actually a very good sushi place (yes, they have advertised with me in the past) called Shijo that is one of the oldest sushi places in town. 2nd floor at Cypress and 4th, one block west of Burrard. I find their fish very fresh, perhaps because the restaurant is owned by a Japanese fishing company, so I suspect they are first in line for deliveries. They also serve brown rice sushi - sacriligious, but healthy.
