Last summer I went to O’Doul’s for a bachelorette party during the Jazz Festival and quite enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Planning a date night with Mr. during Dine Out, O’Doul’s menu caught my eyes with items that were slightly out of the norm, so we went there on a Friday night.

I received an invitation to a sit-down media dinner at C Restaurant, to sample its Dine Out menu. I said yes without a blink. C Restaurant and I go way back. In fact, it all started with a DOV dinner back in 2004, when the menu was – hold your breath – only $25. That was before my photo-taking/food-blogging time, but I remember it was a very enjoyable dinner, especially for the value of it. Then, I went back for another DOV dinner in 2008, and the price already went up to $35, nonetheless a wonderful meal. In 2011, I visited C again for one of its tasting menus, courtesy of deal coupon discounts; it was a different experience because the dishes were smaller in portion and I could tell that the culinary direction had changed since my 2008 visit (sorry, was in hiatus mode so there wasn’t a post on this). This media invite has piqued my interest in trying the now more upscale C Restaurant, at an affordable $38 DOV price.

Dine Out Vancouver 2012 is set for Jan 20-Feb 5, 2012 and is now open for reservations. In its 10th year, 230 restaurants are participating in this event, offering prix fixe menus at $18, $28 or $38. I thought I’d round up some past Dine Out experience that we have had in recent years (2009-2011), good and bad. Maybe this will help your research as you try to determine which ones to try.

I made a promise to myself that I wanted to go to Burgoo before my birthday in December. Why? I’ve heard some good things about it which got me really curious about this restaurant, yet every time I went it was just too busy that I couldn’t bear the long wait. Finally came the day I celebrated my birthday with some friends, I told myself I had to make it happen. No matter what. Seven of us tiny Chinese people ended up squishing around a table of 4. Seriously, we made it work. Cozy but it worked.

For the last couple of years, my family has taken up a new tradition of going out for buffet brunch on Christmas Day, instead of a fancy dinner at home. This tradition continues this year, but in addition to that, to celebrate Winter Solstice, and as an early Christmas celebration, my mom also prepared this three-course dinner for us.
