"Be ready to cuddle up to strangers" – you'll almost "be sitting on their laps" – at Gord Martin's "boisterous" West End and West Side "shoeboxes"; "ingenious" Eclectic small plates like Digby scallops wrapped in prawns put these "funky" joints "at the top of the tapas bin", though some yearn for "a side of earplugs."

Thanks to the "sincerity and warmth" of "unsurpassed host" John Bishop and his "amazing" team of professionals, this "intimate" West Side "classic" ranks No. 1 for Service in the Vancouver Survey; the kitchen, too, is "brilliant", using mostly "organic ingredients" to prepare "top-of-the-line" fare that reflects the "Pacific Northwest at its best"; "save your pennies for a splurge" at this "perennial favourite."

"The fish are still flopping just before they reach your table" at this "bustling" seafood "hot spot" in a "trendy Yaletown" warehouse where the "top-notch raw bar", "amazing tower" of crustaceans and "innovative" sushi are a "religious experience"; the "service is accommodating" – if you "dress to impress" – and "celeb-sighting" abounds, but some protest prices that "leave them blue."

A "sexy place" "for a first date" that's also "popular with tourists, business" travelers" and "Hollywood North", this "beautiful retreat" above "the Robson Street craziness" is "on almost everyone's hit parade"; from the "rich flavours" of the "rustic" Italian fare to the "courteous", "darkly clad" staffers delivering "service with a smile", it's always "satisfying."

Bivalvists bet on this "lively" "American-style" surf 'n' turfer Downtown for its "impressive oyster bar's" "fresh, regional" shellfish and for other "simply prepared" "classics" served by a "professional" team; the rooftop garden/lounge's "upbeat" scene "rocks in the summer months", despite dissenters who dub this "landmark" too "predictable."

"You can always count" on "good steak with all the fixin's" at this "reasonably priced" chophouse chain where the "energetic staff" is "expert at getting crowds seated" and "promptly" served; "catch a game at the bar" or "bring the family" ("don't let the frat-boy name fool you" – they're "attentive to kids"), though you might want to leave "your foodie friends" home.

Amateur ethnographers seeking "a crash course" in local "aboriginal history" "could spend days and only scratch the surface" of this "scholars' treasure trove" housed in Arthur Erickson's "stunning" West Side masterpiece on the University of British Columbia campus; "fabulous totem poles", "phenomenal" artifacts, the "spectacular" longhouse and world-famous sculptor Bill Reid's 'The Raven and the First Men' make it "a must-see."

"Your kids go wild" amidst the "wonderful" "interactive displays" "that make learning cool" in this "spherical" East Side building that "looks like a giant golf ball at the end of False Creek"; it's a "great way to spend a rainy afternoon", especially if you take in an "amazing" IMAX show – just "try to go on a quiet day" because "it can be a zoo."

"Don't expect killer whales playing the tuba" – the "entertaining" yet "informative" exhibits are "designed for education" at Stanley Park's "compact", "captivating" marine facility; the "expert trainers" display "a lot of concern for the animals", and the place is "packed with things to do", so plan to spend at least "half a day interacting" with the "delightfully fun sea otters" and "humanlike belugas" at this "kids' favourite."

From the "first-rate temporary exhibits" to a permanent collection that's strong on "fabulous" works by BC artist Emily Carr, "the curators do a wonderful job" at this "lovely" Downtown museum; though size queens "wish it were bigger", admirers assert that it's "attractive for locals and world travellers alike", particularly if you refuel in the "great cafe" or go on a pay-what-you-wish Tuesday evening.
