Anyone plan to go? Which one is more attractive?

Not too special/ good of a deal in most cases (especially groupon/living social becomes soo popular nowadays)....

I booked jor shore club cuz I've never tried it.......looks like lunch deal at Sandbar is good too (for exactly the same menu it costs $28 at dinner time but only $18 during lunch time)

the problem is I need to find restaurant which are baby friendly....it's more difficult...

作者: yungfourfour 時間: 2012-1-10 14:04

boathouse if you aren't looking for anything new or fancy....no surprise on their dine out menus, but value is good and food is decent

大家覺得呢個一年一度既節目點樣呢? 有 D 人話通常都唔好食﹐將貨就價. 有 D 人會把握呢個機會去試下新野.

Somewhat agreed - there are so many new restaurants but their dineout menu is kind of discouraging. On a side note, there are still restaurants that offer 3 course menu at a very decent price (i.e. boathouse menu doesn't change a lot from the last 2 years but you can get 3 courses for the price of an entree, that's a DEAL) and there are still decent menus from popular restaurants (i.e. CHAMBER.)

If you want baby friendly, then you can forget about Dine Out Vancouver. Their focus is volume ...getting as many people to try their restaurant as possible. Every DOV that I tried are extremely busy and rush. They will also push for wine at the table.

Forget about dineouts if you ask me, 除左初初搞起果陣叫好少少, 之後都唔掂, 我覺得係D後生仔以為good deal....maybe the owner of restaurants don't realize, and thought dine out would attract more returned customers. HELL NO, cuz usually menu and service really sucks..

Fine dining is all about the ambience...there's none...so noisy and disturbing as yum cha.

我本來年年都去, 但見D menu 一年差過一年, 今年睇完之後, 就直頭咩意欲都無! 所以, 今年決定唔去lu! 費事又失望!

I haven't gone since 2006... Those $38 are wasting $$...

作者: 布小熊 時間: 2012-1-12 20:46

Not going this year.
Haven't found any new restaurant that I want to try with the dine out menu.
I rather wait till after dine out and try their regular menu. It may be the same price if I skip dessert and you get way better service.

Why do you think they are a waste of money?

I would skip any wine as well to save.

因為D menu 越來越差, 根本唔值個price, $18根本就唔會諗, $28 就令人失望all the time, $38 就真係可以去邊食咩都得, 唔駛比人set 死個menu. 我試過睇埋好多餐廳個regular menu, 佢地不單止個regular menu 有dine out 個D野, 如果頭盤, 主菜再加dessert, I mean adding up exactly same dishes, 根本就一樣係$38, 咁何必去同人迫, 訂左枱都要排隊排到hell 咁呢...

Made my reservation at West restaurant this year. All three courses from the dine out menu are very very good. One of our buddiies decided to order from a regular menu ($36 for one entree) and he says the food is really good and worth a try!

Horizons.
great view at 5pm~ watched the lights slowly lit from afar.
decent service.. kinda picky at the waitor not having any eye contact :p lol
the younger ones (busboys) were better LOL

i really liked their tuna tataki.
new york steak was excellent.
Steelhead was juicy and very tasy~ crispy skin and very soft meat.

their creme brule was very delicious.. kinda too sweet half way through the dessert.
I'm not a dessert lover tho...

absolutely recommended.
but book ur table before 6pm~ so you can watch the sun light dimmmmmmmmmmm and the lights lit

boat house.

My girlfriends and I tried L'abattoir at gas town; $38 menu. It was actually the best dine out i've tried so far. The bread basket that they provided was made in house and we LOVE the anchovies twist!! Since we had 3 people, we tried every single thing on the menu. It was amazing that we finsihed every single plate till the end (the dessert, man...u gotta try it) given that we are not big eaters. Will definitely go back to try their other dishes after dine out.

Good to know that they are consistant with their quality during DOV.
L'abattoir is currently my favorite restaurant.

Good to know. Thanks!

I tried out Bridges on Granville Island last Friday.

It was a 38 dollar menu that consist of four courses with 2~3 choices for all.
Quality was marginal acceptable while service was lacking.
I know we have 8 people but I still don't think that a 4 course menu needs 120 minutes to serve. Definitely not worth the $38 dollar.

I used to be a dine out fans few years ago but didn't do much recent years... because of disappointment.

This year I went to two places:
I went to Diva. So so. Appit is puffed Fio Gras . Well. it is a fun dish with special technique but tasteless.  Soup is well thought:  a creamy soup balanced with pear cube. Nicely done. Others,.. so so.. really so so.

I went to The Shore Club.  The lobster bisque is ok.  not as good as C (used to be), but smooth.  Crab Cake is good.  My friend had the pork short rib. just ok.

I have salmon for both restaurants. I think Diva has a better sauce but Shore Club has a better Salmon.

my comment for both restaurants is.. Good but not exceptional. Worth the money back?  Hmm Shore Club worths b it more than Diva.

I think because there are so many good food in Vancouver (We are lucky people ).  So, for dine out, these restaurants should think about not just bring good food, or worth-the-money food, or some even downgrade food for the dineout price.  THey should see this as an opportunity to advertise their chef.  They should do something exceptional.
