Last night, I attended the opening party at Sergio Cocchia and Wendy Lisogar Cocchia’s C Prime Modern Italian Steakhouse in downtown Vancouver. A red carpet greeted guests along with glasses of Prosecco with Cassis as they made their way into the large elegant restaurant. Guests were treated to a full on open bar running all night, there was a charcuterie bar, a chilled seafood bar filled with oysters, crab legs, shrimp and more.
In the upper area there was a pasta station featuring house-made gnocchi with morels and squash agnolotti; there was also a meat station featuring prime rib, pretzel buns and delicious Lamb chops.
Later in the evening there was a lavish dessert buffet featuring a table of sweet treats that included Chocolate Profiteroles filled with vanilla Crème, Rum Baba in limoncello, tower of cream puffs, dulce de leche cheesecake, chocolate mousse cups and more.
