nice!
I felt lazy to dress up or head DT. So I cancelled my Fri for 2 reservation at Yew and made one at Caver (in Richmond).

I actually didn't go DOV last year.

previous years experience:
C restaurant: bad (btw their chef de cuisine, Quang Dang, just left in March  to Diva)
Chambar: Great! But we are going there on regular price and it's not super expensive either
Parkside: love it! But it's now l'altro buca and it's not the same...
Beyond: bad
Al Porto: bad
Griffins: not so great. Better to go with entertainment book coupon and just order prime rib. (dessert buffet is just so-so. no fancy dessert)
Nu: bad...
Tea House at Stanley park: surprising good tho not fine dine style. (we used a gift cert there and they had extra menu items that were not listed at the DOV site)
Il Giardino di Umberto: pretty good but not a wah. I like their court yard.

Well, West was REALLy good when I went there.... 3 or 4 years ago for their expensive tasting menu. Since their Executive Chef David Hawksworth left, I've not gone back. (and I am waiting for the opening of his own new restaurant at Hotel Georgia.)

and...woo... I was googling and found out that their head chef Warren Geraghty (from London) announced to leave back in Mar 2010. And David Gunawan is promoted to be the new chef in mid April. I wonder if the new chef may not be handing it so well during dine out.

One thing I have to point out tho is that even if their lower their dine out menu price, these fine dine restaurants still charge other items at their regaulr price. So prepare to pay for more for drinks ($15 cocktail is not unusual), coffee and wine. (prob have nicer wine selection)

Went to Hell's Kitchen last night. Simple quick $18 dinner with pizza. Out of the 3 on the dine out menu, I think I like the veggie pizza most. The poutine was not bad and the salad was pretty good (if you like beets and goat cheese which I love). dessert is not bad too for a $18 meal. Ordered a double gin and tonic (double highball speical for sundays).
