Cafeteria is great. Last time I was there I had the berkshire pork loin with spatzle, and no word of a lie it was the BEST spatzle I have ever had. Very good service, and also the ever changing chalkboard menu is an awesome way of keeping a restaurant exciting. I can't understand why people would go to a 200 seat steakhouse chain with stuffy outdated menus and service when intimate locally owned places, with tons of local talent putting the menus together.

Cafeteria gets my endorsement. I have yet to be disappointed.
I would also recommend "Grub" on Main Street and 28th. We aren't New York or Los Angeles but Vancouver still has a lot of excellent culinary talent. Don't be afraid to go out and explore.

My go-to for a nice, not too expensive place is Pied a Terre on Cambie. La Buca on McDonald's is the Italian version of it, same chef. Both are great for reasonably priced nice dining that's warm and rustic - $100 for 2 plus alcohol.
Bistrot Bistro on 4th is a nice place but probably too cozy for an anniversary, the owner is warm and friendly and always looking to ensure you're happy. It's french food that requires a nap afterwards.
If you want to splurge and want to try some true fine dining (creative, crisp, great service, beautiful room) then I highly recommend Hawksworth. The man is on a roll and you gotta try it sometime.

I'm not quite sure but the reviews look good. I mean every restaurants have their ups and downs. But from the review I think it should be good. The price seems reasonable with the groupon without it would be fairly expensive I don't know I would go without it
Oh wells time to go try.

Something like Hy's would be more appropriate for the latter.
