Concierge.com's insider take:
Vancouver's superstar Iron Chef Rob Feenie had a dust-up with his business partner and was locked out of his West Side restaurants Lumière and Feenie's in 2007. Now, as "culinary architect" for this upscale casual regional chain, Feenie is serving the dishes he cooked for his well-heeled diners at Lumière and Feenie's—at greatly reduced prices. All his signatures dishes are here: albacore tuna tataki, braised short ribs, a barbecued duck club sandwich, ravioli in a truffle beurre blanc. Otherwise, expect the usual gamut of burgers, steaks, pastas, and seafood. The two-story Bentall 5 location is a stylish contemporary space with original art, including a Warhol and a trio of Basquiats. The mostly business crowd flocks here for the hand-squeezed lime margaritas, locally brewed beers, and an always-improving wine list. Service, by a bevy of beauties, is informed and enthusiastic.—Kasey Wilson
