I really enjoy fine dining...
In the past week I ate at:
Chaya (Japanese)
That was for my wife's birthday, which we followed by catching the new Cirque Du Soleil show, "OVO".
Epic Roasthouse (Great 28-day aged steakhouse with an awesome view of the Bay Bridge)
Blowfish Sushi (Japanese/Fusion)
I go there at least 2-3 times per month with clients.
YUM!!!
Next time that I am in Vancouver, we'll have to dine out together, first because we've never met, and second because you share my affinity for fine dining.
My treat (we do business together, so it's a write-off, LOL).
Bon apetit!!!

Ohh yes lumiere is excellent, Portions are small as they should be, but trust me you are stuffed when leaving...its almost overpowering for the pallet!
Especially the chefs 7 course tasting menu....tiny portions but you are hard pressed to get through them all, just as it should be!
Wines are matched with every course, YUM
Chaya: looks fantastic!!!! and looks to have a great view
Basically for the last 8 years i have travelled a lot. Denmark, CZ, Africa, Borneo, Malaysia, North America etc etc
So i have been to every type of restaurant there is and had thousands or meals.
For the past 3-4 years the only locations I’m really interested in has to have a mix of Fine dining, Stunning views, exceptional food that makes the visit an experience
You do meet your "dressed up hogs" along the way, but that’s how it is!
On the note of Tojo's
When were you there, what year?
They moved location in 2007 and i have to say its even better now!!!
Which I’m sure you know is rare, once most restaurants become well know and start to get bigger locations its usually all down hill
And yes we absolutely should go have a few meals here....trust me i know them all, even the hidden gems
Vancouver CAN be tough as there are SO many places it is impossible for people not living here to find the right ones.
Edit: So lets get in touch sometime soon shall we
