Nothing's better than having a chef put his soul into a plate, and having a server who cares about what you are eating/drinking, to make a dinner experience special. Unfortunately, it's been a while since I've felt that in Vancouver. To be honest, I've had better culinary experiences on the island and in Seattle.
LOL I was just about to comment until I read "Vancouver" at the end. It couldn't be more truthful. There's a total lack of consistency in the restaurant dining experience and makes it difficult for repeat visits if one is looking for the whole experience. I've long given up on that aspect and yet even the food, solely on its own can be horribly inconsistent.

I think the most dining patrons in Vancouver proper doesn't know shit for food. Maybe the industry sees no need to bump up standards outside the hype train this city lusts for.
