I am a bit upset about Chambar. I just found out that their posted DOV menu has changed... Now I cannot find an appetizer, nor main, nor dessert that I want. They took all the dishes that I pla ...

Same here... if I didn't bother checking the menu again I think I will be more disappointed to find out at the restaurant.... thinking if I should still go since many dishes I wanted to try are gone too

I went to Joe Fortes yesterday and the food isn't stunning at all (would rated 5/10), and the environment is SO noisy I could barely hear the live piano playing. It's even nosier than a dim sum restaurant...

Worth a try as it's a land mark in Vancouver, but won't plan to go back for a very very long time!!!

I went to Gastropod yesterday and love the meal. Other than what is on the published DOV menu, they have extra menu items to choose from with $5 for appies (duck 2 ways and pan-seared scallops) $8 for mains (duck and venison).

I picked the duck appie and love it. (crispy outside with tender meat) All 4 of us ordered the pork shoulder as main and think it's  a well executed dish. I want go back to Gastropod for dinner some other time.

But well... I am really afraid of reviewing and recommending... cos some friend of mine went on a regular day and she said she didn't feel full after dinner there. But I was so full last night that I gave part of my main to my bf.

It seems the dishes are so small portion, is it enough for boys?  Oh!  Is the deco and the atmosphere very attractive?

Sanifar offers this 3 small dishes set even on their regular menu. You can always order extra to share if one set isn't enough for your appetite.
They have nice deco (super high ceiling) and even have beds/laydown area with curtains upstaris. But it's tiring to sit on a bed for a full meal. I think there is a minimium charge for the upstair section on busy weekends. It's a fun place to have a party. Taste-wise, food is alright.

I just tried "The Five Sails Restaurant", the atmosphere and quality of food is good. Only the portion is quite small... (like tasting menu)
