Theresa "tetleytee" W.'s Profile

Work Party Eats

Every now and then we kick out of the office and make our way downtown for a dinner out. Since we're still in suits, we're a bit picky about where we end up. Here are a few places we've been to that are decent enough for large groups in a one-up-from-casual setting.

1. Prestons

1177 W Pender St
Vancouver, BC V6E 2P4
(604) 673-2173

Categories: Canadian (New), Seafood

Neighbourhoods: Coal Harbour, Downtown

It's so tough to book a large party for Dine Out. Especially at the last minute. But I decided to give Preston's a call after passing by them in the wintertime, and they were able to accommodate our large group within the week! :D

The place is…More »

Let's set the scene. We booked an area of the lounge on a Thursday night for 30 people as a work-function. It was still early when we got there, so we were pretty much the only crowd for at least a half-hour. After reviewing their extensive drink…More »

Toronto, ON M5J 0A3
(416) 815-7325

Category: Sports Bars

12/24/2010

When I read the website saying they were the best sports bar in North America (as decided by ESPN), I was kinda skeptical. I mean, how awesome can a sports bar be? Well this bar is pretty awesome. They've got a massive large screen above the bar that…More »

4. La Piazza Dario

3075 Slocan St
Vancouver, BC V5M 3E4
(604) 430-2195

Categories: Specialty Food, Italian

Neighbourhood: Renfrew-Collingwood

12/15/2011

I came here for a work team dinner in early December. For someone without a vehicle, I doubt this would be at the top of my go-to places for Italian, but the food was delicious, and it's actually not too far a walk from the Renfrew Skytrain station.

Izakayas are always popping up around downtown in some form or another, but when I made the venture across the bridge and saw this place newly opening up, I knew I had to try it out.

We arrived close to 7 for a dinner for two and were seated in a…More »

12/16/2011

I came here for a Christmas party as was pleasantly surprised with the place. I love the retro tiki vibe happening here (obviously since it's right next door to a tiki lounge!) and the area that was sectioned off for us was perfect for our numbers.…More »

Category: Seafood

Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown

2/14/2011

Came here for dinner with a small group of friends at the recommendation of a few others. The place is definitely busy, but I didn't really see all the hype. It's a lovely place, and the flamed patio is pretty enticing, but otherwise I can't see…More »

Categories: Music Venues, Lounges

I wish I could rate this higher, but maybe it was an off night for the staff... It was a busy friday, and we had reserved a table days in advance, but they quickly ran out of capacity and seated us at an area for 8 (10 max) when we had 16 people…More »

At first I thought they had gone out of business, which made me sad. But recently I saw the joint was lively again so I thought I'd check it out. They were apparently closed for a long while with renovations and when I went to check it out recently…More »

I really want to like this place, but booking my table was such a poor experience.

I called on a Thursday to book a large party for a Monday dinner for the office. The staff here said they'd get back to me because they have someone who takes care of…More »

I came here for a private work function, and while it's far and near impossible to get to without a car, the views and food are spectacular! We had taken up the entire restaurant, so it was a set menu lunch with your choice for beverages - not sure…More »

I've been looking forward to giving this place a try since I saw it on the way home from the December Elite event, so when the opportunity came up to go for a casual meet-up, I couldn't say no (even in my sickly state). The seating was a bit crowded…More »

Recently updated lists from Theresa W.

Dim Sum! (20) I love dim sum. I will gladly wake up early on a weekend to go try a new dim sum place out. If you're lacking a vehicle like I am, then perhaps some of these places may interest you when you get a dumpling itch? If I can get there san-car, so can you!	Visitors List! (8) When I have out of towners, I love telling them about how great our city is. Here's the usual list of places I send them to. :)
Izakayas! (6) There are so many in the city, I've still got to try them all.	Sushi! (23) You can't come to this city without going to a sushi joint. And there are many. This might take a while.
Japanese Noodle and Rice Shops! (4) Delicious (and sometimes brothy) goodness in a bowl. The best kind of meal.	Diners, Drive-In and Dives (2) Chasing after the show, one restaurant at a time.
ROTD! (3) I'm so proud! Please don't think any less of me...	2012 Best Of (9) The winners of 2012!
Toronto Love (23) The places I stop when I visit my hometown! :)	The Underdogs (6) April 2012 Challenge: Review some hidden gems that have less than 10 reviews every day for the month of April. I'll try my best!
