Entry: Dine Out Vancouver Round 4 Saturday, January 28, 2006



Feenie's Restaurant

This one was easy to get to, but the food wasn't to my liking. Dont' get me wrong, the food is good, it's just not my kind of food...

Truffle scented white bean ravioli with roasted garlic beurre blanc, rosemary oil, and crispy bacon.

Mine's. This was good. Filled with beans... eh, not that special.. kinda like porogies... very like it in fact.... but edible... I'd have to agree, the bacon was crispy.

Steamed mussels, with leeks, fennel, tomatoes and chilis

This one was good. It's my sister's :(. The sauce afterwards was good for dipping bread.. which they ONLY gave us 2 baskets... they stopped providing after the 2nd one :(. The seafood tasted fresh... and it slid off the shell easily. But the whole thing just tasted like tomato sauce...

Pan seared mission trout, with wild rice, cauliflower pureee and caper-raisin brown butter sauce

This is mine's. The trout was perfectly done. The skin, crispy. The fish was juicy and just right... it was very good... but alas, not filling. The cauliflour pureee was mixed into the few specks of wild rice that it basically was one item, a very delicous item, but small small item. The brown butter sauce was DISGUSTING!! even my sister agreed w/ me on this one, the sauce was very bad.

Braised lamb shank with roasted butternut squash risotto and caramel pearl onions

Jessica's. Me no like lamb, and this tasted very much like lamb. The risotto very creamy, but the rice was undercooked and thus, made it cruchy where it's not suppose to be...

Chocolate cherry bread pudding with kirsch chantilly cream

It's ok. bread pudding isn't my thing.... the cream was good :P the bread portion of the bread pudding was ok, not too sweet, and can barely taste the chocolate flavour... but when you get to the cherry filling... bad!! The syrup you see is chocolate... rich and yummmmm....

Trio of sorbets-blood orange, mango and pineapple

This is my siste'rs... so i only got a bit. The mango is the only good one. the ohter 2 were sour... the biscotti on the side was good... yum...

All in all, this place is pretty good, if you like the style of food there... just not filling... but a easy resturant to get to... service was fast... around a 2 hr-ish dinner, in at 6:46ish, out by 8:15ish.
