Chill in West Van

We went out on Saturday with two other couples to Chill (on the beachfront -- something like that) in the 1400 block of Marine Drive in West Van. This is in the space that used to be the Beachside Cafe. Anway, nice space, cool location (for West Van), but a rather odd experience. The service alternated between scattered ("Oh! You want to put your coats somewhere?") and aggressive ("Is everything delicious?"). It was also a bit slow considering that the place wasn't near full. Took forever to get our drinks, and most of those were just beers.

Anyway, good news is the starters are great. Excellent ribs, crab cakes, and foccaccio. Nice salads. Bad news is that the main that they were pushing, pheasant, was dry and stringy. Almost inedible. We all agreed the best thing to do would be to order a bunch of starters and share.

We didn't stay for dessert.
