I used to be a dine out fans few years ago but didn't do much recent years... because of disappointment.

This year I went to two places:
I went to Diva.   So so.   Appit is puffed Fio Gras .   Well. it is a fun dish with special technique but tasteless.  Soup is well thought:  a creamy soup balanced with pear cube. Nicely done.   Others,.. so so.. really so so.

I went to The Shore Club.  The lobster bisque is ok.  not as good as C (used to be), but smooth.  Crab Cake is good.  My friend had the pork short rib. just ok.

I have salmon for both restaurants.   I think Diva has a better sauce but Shore Club has a better Salmon.  

my comment for both restaurants is.. Good but not exceptional.   Worth the money back?  Hmm Shore Club worths b it more than Diva.

I think because there are so many good food in Vancouver (We are lucky people ).  So, for dine out, these restaurants should think about not just bring good food, or worth-the-money food, or some even downgrade food for the dineout price.  THey should see this as an opportunity to advertise their chef.  They should do something exceptional.

I tried out Bridges on Granville Island last Friday.

It was a 38 dollar menu that consist of four courses with 2~3 choices for all.
Quality was marginal acceptable while service was lacking.
I know we have 8 people but I still don't think that a 4 course menu needs 120 minutes to serve. Definitely not worth the $38 dollar.

Good to know that they are consistant with their quality during DOV.
L'abattoir is currently my favorite restaurant.

My girlfriends and I tried L'abattoir at gas town; $38 menu.  It was actually the best dine out i've tried so far.  The bread basket that they provided was made in house and we LOVE the anchovies twist!! Since we had 3 people, we tried every single thing on the menu.  It was amazing that we finsihed every single plate till the end (the dessert, man...u gotta try it) given that we are not big eaters.  Will definitely go back to try their other dishes after dine out.

Horizons.
great view at 5pm~ watched the lights slowly lit from afar.
decent service.. kinda picky at the waitor not having any eye contact :p lol
the younger ones (busboys) were better LOL

i really liked their tuna tataki.
new york steak was excellent.
Steelhead was juicy and very tasy~ crispy skin and very soft meat.

their creme brule was very delicious.. kinda too sweet half way through the dessert.
I'm not a dessert lover tho...

absolutely recommended.
but book ur table before 6pm~ so you can watch the sun light dimmmmmmmmmmm and the lights lit

Made my reservation at West restaurant this year.  All three courses from the dine out menu are very very good.  One of our buddiies decided to order from a regular menu ($36 for one entree) and he says the food is really good and worth a try!
