Calling all chowhounds!!!!Where would you take a James Beard nominated chef to eat in Vancouver?!?!
I eat at cb quite often and have asked chef b himself why I never see him advert. around town. He says he prefers word of mouth. It seems to be working for him. I did see him on youtube, though. Nice guy with a lot of charisma and love for food and wine.

I too recommend Hamilton Street Grill. Also, I took my grandparents and parents to Restaurant Connor Butler for my grandad's 83rd.birthday. He was craving a nice thick steak and that is just what he got. It was tender, tender, tender, flavourful and delicious. We all tried something different from the menu and no one was disappointed. Atomosphere is just right for this kind of thing. Quiet jazzy music, comfortable upholstered chairs with arms, charming room, decent wine list, friendly capable service. Either of my recommendations should make you quite happy. cheers

I am going to recommend Restaurant Connor Butler. I went to his place after reading his great reviews on another reviews site which is widely used. My partner and I really enjoyed our dinners. It is the only place I have ever been to where we made a reservation and the table was ours all night and no pressure to hurry up and free up a table for someone else. The atmosphere is comfortably elegant if that makes sense. The chairs are upholstered arm chairs and very comfortable. Plus the dinner courses come plated on Versace and we were amazed to see actual antique silverplate. Nice music, nice atmospher. Service was superb and friendly. There was more than enough food and we did not feel bad about the cost because after meeting Chef Butler and enjoying ourselves for nearly three liesurly hours, I know we'll be going back many more times. I would also recommend Savuer Restaurant. Great food in a casual setting. Good luck!
