I would be prepared to give the Lobby at the Pinnacle Hotel four or even five stars. It's a nice room, the service was professional and friendly, and the food was fantastic. But. I made a reservation several days in advance for our Thanksgiving…More »

I love family dinners, especially holiday ones. But with the family off in the Okanagan to admire the new grandson over this Thanksgiving weekend and me not being able to get away because of work etc., my husband and I decided to do something we'd…More »

Category: Italian

Neighbourhood: Downtown

10/2/2008 First to Review

I don't know why I felt so intimidated by Il Giardino when I first walked in. Perhaps it was seeing the all the beautiful people running around in expensive-looking clothes, or just the fact that unless it's a special occasion, we don't go to…More »

Update - 12/16/2009

If Audrey Hepburn were alive, I would take her to breakfast at Medina. We would wear diamonds, morning suitable diamonds, to feast on those posh little waffles. I have a feeling she'd like the lavender latte, though I prefer it plain. We would…More »

The waffles at Cafe Medina are small, but oh so good. They come round and crispy and dusted with… Read more »

I have been wanting to try Les Faux Bourgeois for a while, and I wanted to like it more than I actually did. It's a really cute little place and smells deeelish when you walk in the door, but crikey it was loud. It's awfully hard to pretend you're…More »

Recently updated lists from Christine R.

Surrey. Yes, Surrey. (13) Finds in the much-maligned big city.	Vacation in Washington State (18) I love a local vacation. Washington is so close to BC, yet has cheaper shopping and better customer service overall, plus the same fabulous West Coast scenery.
Shopping for food (21) I love to cook, so food shopping is my favourite type of shopping, from big grocery stores for the everyday stuff to specialty shops for Wow factor ingredients. I like it local too.	Adventures with Groupon (8) The end results of getting tempted by online deals and social coupons.
Store pets (6) Visits with cats and dogs who live in retail land. Only by shopping the indies can you have these encounters, by the way!	Diners (14) All you need is fries... and grease ... and bacon.
Can't talk, eating (3) The multi-tasking reviews ... food so good, I just gotta write about it now.	Two sticks and a ball (4) Dealers in needles and yarn for my knitting habit. What did you think I was talking about?
Playing House (5) In which I try to grow up and stop living like a student.	Bright Lights, Royal City (50) Places to go and things to do in New Westminster, BC. It's a weird place but it kinds of grows on you after awhile.
