Cinch Grill Italian Cuisine

By Mijune

With 90%+ on Urbanspoon and 80+ votes I was hoping I would find a hidden gem and neighbourhood favourite. I like to think they tried, but the menu was way too big and there were a lot of shoutcuts.

Everything is very simple and the menu is limited. It really is an antipasto kind of place just like the name suggest, and I found it more enjoyable as a pre-dinner or after-dinner place. I can’t say I was too impressed, but it wasn’t bad.

Capstone Tea & Fondue (Richmond)

By Mijune

It’s a tea house, not a bubble tea house, and it’s popular for chocolate fondue too. For me it was almost like Starbucks being run by Chinese people and there was Asian flare in the style, menu and execution of their drinks and food.

The Cone Zone

By Mijune

It’s a one stop shop for frozen treats, but nothing is house made. The ice cream was from Dutchmen Dairy in the Okanagan and the gelato was from Gelateria Dolce Amore on Commercial Drive. It’s quite cheap though, but that’s it.

Continental Seafood Restaurant 辛運海鮮酒樓 – Banquet Menu

By Mijune

It was another Chinese banquet and this time it was at a restaurant I can’t say I’m too excited to go back to each time. So why do I go back to it? Well it’s mainly because of the dance floor. It offers live nightly entertainment… of BALLROOM dancing & singing, and due to family, I must go.

Gallery Café (Vancouver Art Gallery)

By Mijune

Being located inside the Vancouver Art Gallery, it’s somewhat natural to assume that the Gallery Café would be a bit more special, elegant, or creative. I’m just going to say it, but I really think the restaurant needs an update. Cooking is an art, and here it just felt like a dying one.

Maruwa Sushi Japanese Restaurant

By Mijune

It seems to be a neighbourhood favourite, but I didn’t get it, unless it wins by default. It is Japanese owned and operated and it is somewhat authentic, but I didn’t find it that great. At least it was all very affordable so the damage wasn’t too bad.
