Comments on: A “C” of Disappointment – Vancouver’s “C” Restaurant Experience http://www.stephenfung.net/a-%e2%80%9cc%e2%80%9d-of-disappointment-vancouvers-c-restaurant-experience/ The Personal Yakkety Yakkings of an Internet Entrepreneur Sun, 14 Mar 2010 11:30:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Stephen http://www.stephenfung.net/a-%e2%80%9cc%e2%80%9d-of-disappointment-vancouvers-c-restaurant-experience/comment-page-1/#comment-15387 Stephen Wed, 02 Apr 2008 08:18:30 +0000 http://www.stephenfung.net/a-%e2%80%9cc%e2%80%9d-of-disappointment-vancouvers-c-restaurant-experience/#comment-15387 Thanks for the comment. Although I didn't write the review, I was there, and that's what happened, and it was a bit disappointing. Since the writing of this review 2007), C Restaurant fell to 4th place in Vancouver Magazine's Restaurant Awards this year, with West on top, Lumiere second, and Blue Water third. At the <a href="http://www.stephenfung.net/vancouver-magazine-kicks-off-2008-with-a-big-night/" rel="nofollow">Big Night Vancouver Event</a>, C Restaurant, West, and Lumiere were there and Kelly and myself had the opportunity to try all three restaurants all at the same time. The conclusion? West is still best, Lumiere is catching up again with their new kitchen leadership, and C, well, C minus was the grade. There were other restaurants there that had better food like Araxi from Whistler (great Ravioli). In light of the evidence, and unless something changes drastically at C, I stand by my opinion. Maybe we'll give them a try again this Summer and find out if a year makes a difference. <em>Stephen's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Futurelooks/~3/262409892/' rel="nofollow">Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 Full-Tower Case Review</a></em> Thanks for the comment.

Now that would be interested in that review to read. Without that comparison I feel like your points might be moot while verging on irresponsible. That said I don’t agree with the up sells.
