Going for happy hour with the team, we ended up at the door of Mahony & Sons after our first choice restaurant was closed for a private party.
Arms Reach Bistro
As part of my birthday celebration, Mr. took me out for dinner. It was an interesting ride to the restaurant because I didn't know where we were going. In the end, we arrived at the Arms Reach Bistro in Deep Cove.

This cute eatery in Lincoln City is a house-turned-restaurant, with a covered sun deck at the back, where we were seated, that has a view of some greenery.
C Restaurant – Dine Out 2012
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 Returns & Past Dine Out Reviews
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.
