I was excited to see a Groupon for Charlie’s Restaurant and Bar a few weeks ago, and I actually purchased two of them. A $10 coupon is worth $20 at the restaurant, and if you had a party of 4 or more, you can use up to 2 coupons.
I’ve never been to Dine Out events in the past so I was really excited to be able to go for the first time this year.
After Dee missed out on our really great experience at Hapa Izakaya on Robson, we finally had the chance to bring him to our next Hapa Izakaya destination: Hapa Izakaya Yaletown.
The MePlusFood team got invited to their first Food Blogger and Writer event at the R.TL (Regional Tasting Lounge) hosted byDanica of Divine Writes.
I was really excited to go because just the week before I wanted to try out the restaurant for my sister-in-law’s birthday but had to switch locations because our 9 month old nephew was coming along.
..and ouch that hurt the wallet.. haha. I went here about 3 years ago for a company dinner and we had a 5 or 6 course meal and from what I remember most of the dishes were really good. I had no clue how expensive it was since the company paid for it all, and we didn’t even get to see the menu.
I visited BBQues for a friend’s birthday. I went in to this place with a fairly low expectation, because I am skeptical about the fancy food in Yaletown after a couple bad experiences at other restaurants.
Wow what a huge disappointment. But maybe I set myself up for it, because the ratings on Urban Spoon weren’t very good either. But, I’ve been wanting to go to Capone’s in Yaletown for a while now. Mainly because they had beef wellington on the menu (though as an appetizer), and because they have live Jazz music. I finally got to go this past weekend, during the crazy Olympics.
Amarcord Ristorante Italiano is an upscale Italian restaurant in Yaletown. We walked into the restaurant at around 8:30pm on a Saturday without reservations. Like the rest of the restaurants in Yaletown during the Olympics, it was packed. We got really lucky, because a table had just paid right when we walked in, so we were able to get a table in 20mins. The couple that walked in right after us were not so lucky, they were told there was an hour and a half wait.
I went with the MePlusFood crew and a few friends to Charm Modern Thai in Yaletown last Friday. It was actually my choice, because I’ve been wanting to try Thai food for some time now, but was always scared that I’d die from all the peanuts that are associated with Thai food.
The Keg opened up in Yaletown a few months ago, and I’ve been wanting to try it. We went here for my Dad’s birthday on Sunday, and we were happy with everything. I’m definitely glad I forced my parents to go downtown to have dinner here instead of the Keg in Surrey. Me and my brother wanted to try the new one. We were seated fairly quickly as we had made reservations, and they were OK with us adjusting our reservation by 30 minutes. Not a problem. We got kind of a private room near the front of the restaurant, with doors that we could close, and a fireplace. The funny thing is though our room could have been private, sometimes servers would walk through our room to the other dining area. Maybe we should have closed the door. Anyways, it was nice and cozy for us.
