Last night I attended the opening party for Q4 al Centro, that opens today connected to the elegant L’Hermitage Hotel on Richards & Robson in downtown Vancouver.

The ever so crowded party was filled to the rim with guests and media, the wine was pouring the and bar’s drinks were flowing. Servers passed around a variety of eats, my favourites of the night were the Q4 Meatballs, Lamb Sausage & Mushrooms Pizza, Risotto balls infused with Truffle oil, Crab Cakes and Crostini served with pesto, sun-dried tomato and goat cheese!

Warm, stylish, and comfortable space with 70 seats including plenty of room at the cocktail and kitchen bars. Perhaps the most prominent feature in the room is a massive 10’ by 20’ original abstract painting by world renowned artist Jason Gogo.  In keeping with the wine theme, Gogo used Napa Valley grapes to create the vivid wine red paint showcased in his work.

Q4 al Centro is open for dinner nightly from 5pm, and lunch Monday to Friday from 11:30am, located at 780 Richards Street in Vancouver and online at www.q4restaurant.com, phone 604.687.4444, complimentary valet parking at both lunch and dinner.
