I loved the Minted Split Pea Soup as well as the King Crab on a Pogo Stick along with the Caesers shooters with Effingham Oysters.

Making Cocktails

The cocktail master was at work creating and serving up delicious spring inspired cocktails.

Pastry Chef, Stephanie Greenslade and her Honey Comb Ice Cream Cones

Lemon Thyme Drops

Pastry Chef, Stephanie Greenslade presented a selection of garden inspired sweets and treats and my favourites were the Honey Comb Ice Cream Cones , Lemon Thyme Drops, and Macaron Ice Cream Sandwiches.

The reception took place in Herons West Coast Kitchen + Bar, at The Fairmont Waterfront and featured a great band for our listening pleasure to go along with the wonderful bites and delights.

The hospitality team at the hotel is comprised of Daniel Kaeflein, Director of Food & Beverage; Ian Pullan, General Manager; Dana Hauser, Executive Chef; Mark Wadsworth, Exec Sous Chef and Chris Nielson, Sous Chef.

Herons West Coast Kitchen is located at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel, 900 Canada Place Way in Vancouver and serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, an all-day menu and dessert; check out their website for the menu and hours.

The other day I attended a media tasting at Lift Restaurant to try some of their new menu creations presented by Chef Scott Kid. Lift has one of the most prestine views in the city with a backdrop of Stanley Park and the local mountains sitting above Coal Harbour.

The menu for the dinner featured many of their new items from appetizers to wet plates to entrees.

Here my favourites from the tasting:

Cornmeal Crusted Rainbow Trout

Braised Veal Cheeks

Dynamite Roll in a soy reduction

Alaskan Weathervane Sea Scallop

Seared Ahi Tuna Sashimi

Magret Barbary Duck Breast

Note: The dishes that I tasted were tasting size not regular size as you would order from the menu.

Lift Restaurant is located at 333 Menchions Mews in Coal Harbour.

New Dishes Tasting at Goldfish

October 15th, 2010

admin

Yesterday I attended a media tasting at Goldfish Pacific Kitchen to try some of their new menu creations, 90% of the menu is new and this came about due to a new chefs team at the helm. These guys are far from new, both are experienced chefs who were previously in the kitchen at Joe Fortes and many other fine restaurants around the world. This menu is creative and vibrant and it is obvious that Chef Curtis Webb & Chef Ryan Mah know how to create dishes with bold and unique flavours with a little fun thrown in to the mix.
