martincath, thank you for your foodie recommendations. We will be three nights pre-cruise in Vancouver. Coming from the land of the chain resturant, we are very excited about all the original dining ideas you've posted!

martincath, thank you for your foodie recommendations. We will be three nights pre-cruise in Vancouver. Coming from the land of the chain resturant, we are very excited about all the original dining ideas you've posted!

You're welcome - feel free to ask if there are any particular genres/price-ranges you want more info on (although a new thread would make most sense over on West Coast Departures).

 

I do have to issue a change already - Good Wolf(e) is in the process of significant change of Chef & menu and a subtle change of name (no more 'e' on the end). We had a very disappointing meal just a couple of days ago, compounded by the fact it was my wife's b'day - ownership & most front of house staff remain the same though, and they graciously comped our entire meal (NB: only one dish was actually sent back, two others were up to usual standards, the fourth was good but not remotely as described on the menu - it was the timing that was truly horrible, over an hour between appies & entrees).

 

I'm going to let things settle down with the new kitchen crew & menu before returning - but in the short-term at least I could not in good conscience recommend any *important* meals being booked there. Getting a free dinner is the best one can ask for when things go wrong, but since we were out for a celebratory dinner I would much rather it had just gone right instead...
