1. Theo Chocolate
Proud to be the 300th reviewer of Theo Chocolate.
5 Stars for the chocolate + 5 Stars for the tour = 10 Stars!!
If you live in Seattle you've surely seen and hopefully eaten some Theo chocolate. They've got you covered whether you want milk or dark,…More »

I'M ON A BOAT!!!
Some very wonderful friends booked Anchor Bay Charters' "Seeker" yacht as the venue for a pre-wedding coed bash back in July. Everybody had a fantastic time and it will undoubtedly be a fond memory for everyone that was lucky enough…More »

Categories:
Caterers,

My company orders lunches for client meetings at least once a month. People on my floor get a certain look in their eye when we say there are Gourmondo leftovers. Specialty's leftovers spark a certain amount of interest, but I think some would…More »

Vancouver, BC V6B 5K2

(604) 662-3207
Category:
Botanical Gardens
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
The Dr Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden is an oasis of tranquility and beauty, bordered by bustling Chinatown and also some very sketchy areas. I was intrigued by the description I saw in a tour book: Chinese and Canadian craftsmen worked…More »

Category:
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhood: Mt. Baker
We went to a vegan chili cook-off at the Mt Baker Community Club this evening. Lovely space.
I'm guesstimating there were a couple hundred people in attendance and there was ample room for all, with round tables in the center and rectangular tables…More »

Categories:
Parks,
Botanical Gardens
Neighbourhood: Madison Park
Though tempted to give the Arboretum 3 Stars due to an interaction with an employee over the summer, I'm trying not to let it cloud my judgement of the Park in general. I've been to more exotic Arboretums but this one is quite lovely. We've explored…More »

I had the pleasure of attending a wedding at Thornewood Castle last weekend. It was definitely one of the most unique venues I've ever been to, though I don't think it's for everyone. It is not chic, sophisticated or modern. It is, however, lovely,…More »

Even though I could never actually afford to eat at The Georgian (or stay at The Fairmont), I've been treated to a meal here on three occasions.
First time was Georgian Tea with my work group a few years ago. We were all impressed with the huge and…More »

Neighbourhood: Downtown
Alrighty, made it to Harried & Hungry for lunch again. This time I tried the Greco Pizza and was a little disappointed. The (perfectly round) crust seemed pre-made and the cheese was a bit off. First I thought there was just too much mozzarella…More »

10. Apulent Events & Catering
I dropped off my business card at Apulent's table during the Shilshole EE awhile back (http://www.yelp.com/bi...). I totally forgot about it until I received a call from Megan a couple weeks ago. She remembered that I occasionally order catering for…More »
11. Specialty's Café & Bakery
I've already said plenty of nice things about Specialty's in my review of the downtown location (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) and this review is more about their customer service and account reps.
Last week I placed an online order for a lunch…More »

Finally got to try Specialty's coffee today and...drumroll... my latte was just OK. Don't need to come here again for coffee but everyone including the barista was incredibly nice and I did get me some cranberry coffeecake which is officially The…More »

13. Golden Gate Park
I love a big park in a big city. We enjoyed several hours in Golden Gate Park a few years ago. We wandered around, looking at the plants and flowers and taking lots of pictures. There was a wide range of people enjoying the park, from families…More »

My rock n roll friends had their wedding and reception at The Gale Mansion a couple years ago. Everything went very smoothly and this was largely due to the venue's setup. As I am usually a makeup artist and/or bridesmaid at friends'…More »

My friends had their wedding reception at the Arts Incubator a few years ago. It was a unique space that really suited them, plus whatever they paid for it went towards supporting the organization. My friend said renting the venue was "very…More »
16. Mystic Marriott Hotel & Spa
My cousin got married at the Mystic Marriott a couple years ago. I don't know how many people stayed there but I've got a big family and as far as I know, everyone was happy. I know my aunt and uncle were pleased with everything because they footed…More »

Categories:
Bars,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhood: DUMBO
My friends had their wedding reception here last summer, so I can't comment on how Rebar is on a regular night with a regular crowd. That being said, I quite enjoyed myself and so did everyone else. The wedding day had a few glitches but none of them…More »
18. Champion Party Supply
Been to Champion a few times and well, it's squarely OK.
Best point would have to be the selection. Lots of "costumes in a bag" as well as individual items to complete your look. Decent selection of wigs and professional makeup. Champion also has…More »

Category:
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
Neighbourhood: Pioneer Square
If you really want a view, go to the Space Needle or Columbia Tower. But if you like historical stuff, like I do, it's pretty cool (plus it's like a third of the price of the Space Needle). The ride up in the old -fashioned elevator was perhaps my…More »

3.5 Stars
Daily Grill catered the last Elite event and apparently did so with less than 24 hours notice. Word. We tried:
-- Beef: marinated, vaguely Asian-ish, it was OK
-- Chicken skewers: with cilantro, yum yum yum, very very good and not dry
--…More »
