White Spot It is a regular White Spot. Good service, good food, good value, good kids menu. This unit is normally full, be prepared to wait a few minutes to be seated. Joshua Kodama, 40 , Engineer, 19/12/2008
Horizons I can´t say I didn´t like, but my expectations were higher. The location is gorgeous, great view of Vancouver, in Burnaby Mountain Park (you don´t need to eat at the Horizons to go there). The food is nice, the service is not great, but is good enough. There are some nice tables with great view, some are ok, but there are awful ones. I would say your chance is 50/50. We went there for a Father´s Day brunch. I was expecting a breath-taking buffet, but only an omelet buffet was available. We went a la carte, and we haven´t regret. Our party: 2 adults and 2 kids: 3 Entrées, a glass of wine, and 3 deserts: $115 (tax and tips in). It was not expensive, good price/performance. J Kodama, 40 , Engineer, 23/06/2009
Charm Modern Thai Restaurant We went to Charm last night and had a great experience from start to finish starting with a Thai basil mojito while waiting for a table at the bar. Once we were seated we decided to try another one of their specials a Lychee martini which was a perfect concoction not too sweet.
We started with a lobster bisque and soft shell crab. Nice twist to Tom Kha style soup with generous lobster meat. Soft shell crab was more Japanese but the spicy lime soy sauce was quite refreshing.
Off to the mains as we ordered the Pad Thai and Green tea organic chicken. The Pad Thai was one of the best in the city prepared as authentic as what we’ve had in Thailand and generous portion for only $14 with tiger prawns. Green Tea organic chicken was amazingly tender with a nice balanced orange ginger sauce. We were recommended to try a Vioginer to pair up with our dinner plates and the vioginer paired very nice with the food. All food presentation was plated like a fine dining restaurant but the prices were very reasonable considering they’re in Yaletown.
The staff starting from the hostess to the bartender to our waitress were all knowledgable, helpful and… Charming. This is definitely one of our favourite places now! Can´t wait to go back and try some of their other items.
