  1. I was curious to see if a reservation was available for tonight so I checked out OpenTable. Lots of choice times available.

    Can't remember ever being able to get into Lumiere on a Saturday evening without having reserved 2 weeks prior.

    Must have had a deluge of cancellations when the froie gras hit the fan. :shock:

  2. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I read this thread yesterday morning and was at at Abdul's BBQ in the afternoon. The falafel was amazing! As mentioned it took 10 minutes to fry up the plump, crispy, tender falafel balls to perfection. This was a two handed wrap loaded with crisp lettuce, tomatoes and all the regular suspects. This could become an obsession.

  3. When I lived on the North Shore my favourite sushi was Kokoro on Lonsdale. The place has seriously good sushi. Try the Energy Rolls....unreal!

    A few reviews here...

    The Japanese family who owned and operated Kokoro sold the restaurant about 2 years ago. It was without a doubt the best sushi place on the North Shore! We gave the new Chinese owners one shot and were very disappointed! I would run not walk away from this place.

  4. La Grotta Del Formaggio, 1791 Commercial Drive (at 2nd), has great grilled sandwiches that are made to order. Basically take-out unless you can snag one of the three tables out front. Don't forget to pop into Fratelli Italian Bakery which is next door for a little something to get you through the day.

  5. Thank you all for your recommendations. I have begun the input process on CellarTracker.com. It is a GREAT resource!

    Bonus, I get to save the $100 that the "uncorked cellar" software would have cost!

    I think I should have you all to my home for a glass of something red. :biggrin:

  6. I would like to organize my cellar with one of the multitude of software solutions that are available. I have read good things about "The Uncorked Cellar" is anyone using this program? It has a built-in database that is up-datable online, which I thought would be handy.

    What other programs are people using to organize their home cellars?

    Looking forward to your suggestions.

  7. There is a new Thai restaurant that opened a few months ago called Thai Yala at 1925 Lonsdale. The place is Thai owned and operated, which is a must if you want the real deal! I have been twice and have yet to be disappointed. The green curry with chicken is great and so was their Pad Thai and fried rice. I'm not a fan of Krua.
