We decided on brunch this morning with a gift certificate for DeDutch.
It was Sunday morning at 11 am. We had to wait about 10 mins.

I agree with others, this place is very small. Although I find that many other of the DeDutch restaurants are also very small. I am not sure why.

But once I was seated I did not really care about the size of the place.

The coffee arrived right away, and was regularly filled, and we even got more cream when we were running low and we did not even ask.

I had the Boer’s (Farmer’s) which includes
Hash Browns, Ham, DeBakon*, Bratwurst,
Eggs and Hollandaise all places on a large dutch thin pancake, or what we might call a crepe.

The hashbrowns were my least favourite, not much flavour and not crisp enough.
My sunnyside eggs were perfect!, the bacon and ham were great and the Bratwust was amazing. It
was full of flavour, so juicy with a perfect grill char. I loved it.

The dutch pancake was great, with a bit of a chew to it, I would like to try it plain with lemon and sugar next time.

Rainbowcrab had the french toast with egg and bacon. She really enjoyed it all.

We got a great amount of food and left full and satisfied.
We will go back.

Rainbowcrab and I went here with our groupon. I was very excitied to try the slow roasted lamb. I was sad to discover that they did not have the lamb at this location, but did at the Pemberton location. So I decided to try and roasted sirloin steak sandwich, and chose to have it with mayo, the spicy cilantro sauce ( Mmmm)
red and green peppers,onions and lettuce.
My sandwich was ok,, the meat was very dry. I was so disappointed by this. The sauce and bread were amazing. But that did not make up for the meat.

Rainbowcrab however had a more traditional sandwich. She had the turkey cold cut, and chose the spinich avacado spread, with a variety of veggies. She LOVED her sandwich!

Both sandwiches were huge and worth the money. We both want to go back. Yes i still want to try the lamb.

So will have to let you know how it goes.
Oh and the service was very friendly and helpful.

Both Rainbow crab and I decided to try the Splitz grill while on Main Street. Our first time. The first thing that I really loved was the wide array of free toppings. Some very unique ones too. Rainbow crab is a bit of a purist, and she had a basic bacon and cheddar with fries. But she loved it, the char on the burger, but juicy with each bite.
I had the basic burger with fried onions, thier special sauce, salsa, mayo, onions and wow was it amazing.

Some other toppings include Hummous, Baba Ganough,(sp) cucumbers, sprouts, bbq sauce, hot sauce, hot peppers, and on and on the list goes.

The fries were great, and I can not wait to go back!

We decided to buy the Groupon for this place as we had been before and enjoyed the food.
When we arrived we were greated in a friendly manner, and seated. Right away our drink orders were taken and some cheese buns and fried banana arrived at the table.
We started at the buffet. It does not have the widest variety of things, but what they had was fresh and tasty.
We love the guacamole, so smooth. They also have some hot dishes there such as fish and rice.

Once we sat down the meat came. A wide variety of juicy meat, such as lamb, sirloin, pork roast, pork and beef ribs, chicken wrapped in bacon, pork sausages and even grilled pineapple

They slice the meat for you and you take it with tongs. The slices are not big, they are not meant to be. How I have a very large appitite, and I ate till I was full and happy.

We left very happy with the visit and having a groupon sure helped..

We will go back again for sure.

We decided to go to the River Rock Buffet as we were going to a concert there.
I was a bit worried from the reviews here.

First I need to compliment the staff on excellent staff. The were there to meet every need, clearing our plates away and refilling our water and pop glasses right away.

We started with the salad bar, full of a variety of lettuce and salads such as corn salad, lentil salad, potato salad etc. Fresh dressings and buns. It was a Friday night so they also had crab legs, shrimp and oysters.

There was a sushi bar on friday night as well.

The hot food, did not have a huge selection, but the quality of most of the food was excellent.
I had the dim sum which was great, as was the roast and au jus. Rainbowcrab had the pasta and loved it.

There was a wide variety of desserts, although not as much chocolate as I like.

I acutally had more salad bar for dessert I liked it so much.
Although a bit on the high end of price, we really enjoyed it and would go back again.

We went looking for something different today while in Ladner.
We found The Boot &Sombrero.
It was quiet, but it was about 2pm on a very Saturday afternoon.

First the wait staff were very attentive, friendly and helpful.
We shared the potato skins first which were very good, different from other types. We really enjoyed them. I had a pink toco martini with it and it was great.

I had the Chicken Fajita for my meal and thought it was pretty good. I was jealous of what my partner had. She has the shreded beef echillada which was very good. She had it with some corn bread, which she is still talking about.

I look forward to going back to try their ribs and other smoked goods.

I am glad we found this place.

We finally had the chance to go to Anatolia's Gate. I can say we will be there many more times.
The food was outstanding. We shared the a small mixed plate, there was not a salad there I did not love.
We wanted to try so many things, but decided to try the Chicken and a Lamb Durum. They were both great, so filling.
The flavour was so good and fresh, the lavish bread was so good. It was so neat to wach him back the bread in the wood oven right in front of you.
The service was good and polite, the ambiance was simple but the food made up for that.
I look forward to go back many more times.

We finally made it to Wings on Kingsway. I have been to the one downtown and enjoyed it.
However I was sad to see if still looking a lot like Pub Med that use to be there.
The flavour of the wings were good, but why oh why do they batter the wings?? Just something that does not need to be done!
My partner had the stir fry with chicken, she said she would have it again, but the rice was swimming in sauce.
Service was very slow. Considering it was near empty.
I also contacted the manager about the smoking on the enclosed patio. I thought that not ok any more. This part ruined my visit.

After having a newspaper review on our fridge for so long for The Diner we finally went. I am a brit by heritage.
Let me start by saying that the man who served us was a true gentleman. So kind and friendly.
However my partners diet coke arrived with lipstick stains on the glass. Then our buns came and both had mold on them.
The fish and chips arrived, they were alright, but nothing special, as this place has been running for 50 years and you think this would be really good.
I was not sure if I was going to write a review as the older gentlemen there were so wonderful I did not want to hurt business. But If I do maybe things will change for the better.

Shota Sushi and Grill was one of our favourite all you can eat Japanese. It wasn't anything fancy, but we liked it.
When we went at the beginning of Nov 2007, we saw a sign "closed for renevations." So we went back this week. Dec 2008. What we knew as Shota is now called I Love Sushi. They must be new owners, cause every thing had changed. We hated it.
I can not think of one good thing we liked. I am sad and shall morn the lost of our special place.
And am now on the hunt for a new place... as we will never return to I love Sushi, as we hate their sushi!
