This year I'm going to book early because the good ones fill up pretty quick. I want to go to a nice steak house restaurant this year.

I can't wait till the list is released =D
It was fun last year, so many yummy places.

4 more days till the list gets published.. yippee

heard they raised the price by $3

that is true the prices are now 18, 28 and 38... which still isn't too too bad

Dam but why did they raise their prices..!!
$3 is still a lot to me haha

last year's restaurants and food SUCK thou.

I'm curious if the economic downturn will have an effect on Dine Out this year.

For myself, I've been going to 2-4 each year and plan to do the same again.

Which ones from last year did you guys try and recommend? what did you have

God I fucking hate dine out people

I think that there are a number of factors that will lead to lower Dine Out sales this year. The economy is one, the other is that Dine Out has really gone off track from its purpose. It originally featured great restaurants offering creative menus at decent prices. Now Dine Out is flooded with mediocre restaurants offering regular menu items at near normal pricing.

BTW by Dine Out sales, I mean by sales figures, not just implied attendance from how busy the restaurants seem.

if you check some of the mediocre restuarants' menu, it might be much cheaper eating on a regular night that dine out event

if you are going dine out vancouver, you better choose the expensive resturants on a regular basis..

you get the best deal on them.

in deed it did i wonder what restaurants are there this year

It's really fun to do, but some seem like overly enthusiastic people lol.....which bugs me.

What time does the list get posted? Midnight?

Well it's like they've never fucking been in a restaurant before, taking pictures and yelling.. it's ridiculous.

tonnes of people do that now though... especially the taking pictures part.. that i can handle... the yelling not so much.

appropriate behaviour at appropriate places i guess. if you act like a 12 year old at elixir then that won't go over too well with anyone.

haha
u must be referring to the hongers that take pics with the food and make peace signs with it

ahah.. i know exactly what you're talking about,
(^__^)V

and it's not called the "peace sign."

"V" is refered as "victory."

Please correct me if I'm wrong. I am not a honger!

why the heck would hongers express "victory" at the dinner table?
i don't even think hongers use that to express victory, but it's just a honger thing to do.
"one, two fweee.... cheeeeeese!!!!"

sorry, back on topic. it is now Jan. 5th, and I want dibs on making resos NOW b/c they said Jan5th! *shakes fist*

where does it says the dine-out menu for each specific restaurant?

^ it's not up yet :(
i'm refreshing the page every min..
i'm such a loser

I want to try Belgian food, but there is only 1 choice, and I don't want to go there.

has anyone tried Parkside Restaurant??

how was it?
