salt tasting room is not worth it, you can just go on a normal day and try regular menu. It's more of a lounge than a dinner place.

i went there last yr and went all out and to tell you the truth, it wasn't worth it. the prime rib was decent but overall, it doesn't even look like fine dining restaurant.

OH, i got a question, are there any guys that WANTS to go to fine dining? when i was dating a chick, she's soooo into this, cause the bitch wanted to eat out and have me pay for shit.. i'm ike... no thank you.

I will be going with my gf to Boathouse and 1 other....But i agree that it's not as exciting as before anymore cuz the deals arent really deals anymore

indeed, hence why i aint too excited towards these dine outs

Booked the following
The Salmon House-A gf's favorite
Market by Jean-Georges-Heard its really nice, wanna ive it a try
Coast-Menu looks good
The Griffins-Baller wannabe :D
Maurya-Always wanted to go, so might as well try it during dine out.

I'll write a review after i go. My wallet is gonna hurt after all that.

HonestTea 04-21-2010 11:33 PM

Griffins menu is interesting LOL for one of the Apps and the Prime Rib Entree they make you add $10/each on top of the set price of $28

$28 + $10 + $10 = $48 before wine/drinks/tax

going to dine out for: west, cincin, five sails, octopus garden (if we can actually get seats), society

guess i get to see if they purposely lower the quality of food for dine out or if it's consistent with their regular menu

Quality is ususally consistent as it's the same kitchen staff, but portions and ingredients may be lower quality. Though it could suffer depending on how busy they get for dine-out compared to what they see ususally.

I think Coast is fully booked. I booked a couple days ago & all that's left is 11pm. I dnno if there r anymore tables.

f00tzilla 04-24-2010 01:32 PM

for those trying to get restaurants that are "sold out" on opentable phone the restaurant up.. i just got a reservation at COAST at 6:45pm for next week even though opentable said that there were no reservations available.

HonestTea 04-24-2010 04:52 PM

^ Thanks for the tip.

I tried with West and they said it's fully booked. If anyone has a spare reservation or can't make it for West on either a Sunday or Monday, please PM me :)

Going to Seawall Bar n Grill at Westin Bayshore... anyone been there before?

Dr-Vn 04-26-2010 03:18 PM

how do you check what are the items on their dine out menus?

most of the websites i went seem to only have their regular menus on there =/

i.e where's the menu for coast, griffins, la terraza, etc.

edit: oh snap, i'm retarded.. i went thru the opentable.com website, so no wonder

Mugen EvOlutioN 04-26-2010 05:54 PM

weird

i think u go to dineout website, were the reservation page is

u click in, should bring up the time. Eventually u should be able to view the menu after clicking into their website

i had no problem viewing their special menus

kitsune 04-26-2010 09:56 PM

Went to coast today~
i recommend! Pretty good food~
i got the crabcake and shared a tenderloin and the jumbo prawns.
I suggest the tenderloin.. But ask if you can get the sides that come with the salmon/prawns.
The side for the tenderloin wasnt that great.. Kind of bitter and really salty.
Oh.. The clam chowder was good too. The red west coast kind~

nice!! did it cost extra?

f00tzilla 04-27-2010 07:43 AM

went to CinCin yesterday their menu isn't posted on dine out vancouver..
from what i remember it was
Appetizer: sweet onion soup, something octopus, or baby greens
Mains: baked lingcod, wood oven pork rack, or 4 cheese pasta (it has an italian name)
Dessert: tiramisu, rhubarb pie or chocolate fondant tart

Overall it was ok but nothing really impressive... i'd give it like 7-7.5 / 10

BlackZRoadster 04-28-2010 12:19 PM

HonestTea 04-29-2010 07:35 PM

Anyone try West or Coast for Dine-Out Vancouver yet?

(I know kitsune tried Coast but just seeing who else tried it and what they thought of it)

f00tzilla 04-29-2010 09:32 PM

I just came back from COAST..

overall it was alright..

I had the crab cake for appetizer it was good highly recommend, my frd got the prawn salad it was ok..

For main i had the beef tenderloin .. do not recommend... it was small and they slightly overcooked it (i asked for medium rare) and the vegetable sides were SUPER salty.. my frd had the prawn main the prawns were good but again the veggies were super salty.

The dessert was good .. the cheesecake lollipops were crazy good..

One of the things that kinda annoyed me is the slow service because the place was PACKED....

.. i have west tmrw will update.
