Life has been busy so I didn't really look into Dine Out Vancouver until there were only 2 weeks left. Since I don't dine out very much these days, I wanted to use the opportunity to try some place new. Then I spotted a good deal at Social on Commercial Drive. Social has only been open for a few months, back in October 2020 in midst of the second wave of COVID.
There's a new food event in Vancouver that introduces us to some hidden (and not-so-hidden) gems in Railtown, while supporting a local charity. Running from November 1 to 30, Dine Railtown features nine restaurants in the Railtown neighbourhood. I was invited to preview 3 of the locations.
Mr. and I recently went on a 10-day road trip to the States. Kicking it off was a celebration of our 4th wedding anniversary and we spent a night at the quaint Willows Inn on Lummi Island, Washington. The upscale inn serves up a 21-course tasting menu every evening, yes 21 courses, that changes regularly and seasonally. It features locally grown produce and other locally fished, foraged and farmed products. And in addition to their kitchen, they also have an outdoor wood-fired BBQ and smoker.
Another restaurant that we previewed for Dine Out was Dockside Restaurant. They are also offering a $35 menu. Dockside's menu offers 3 appetizer options, 4 entrees, and 2 desserts.
Last week, prix fixe menus of Dine Out Vancouver 2019 were revealed. With that, I was invited to a menu preview at a few restaurants on Granville Island. One of which was The Sandbar Seafood Restaurant. Sandbar offers a $35 Dine Out menu, with a couple of entree options that you can upgrade with $10 extra. What you see below is what you will get, but what I tasted may not be the best representation of the dish as I only had a small portion of it.
