Restaurant Review

So Justin and I are going on 10 years of marriage this year. It may sound weird but some of my favorite memories of our time together involve eating out at restaurants. Good food, good company, and good conversation. We had the opportunity the other night while the girls stayed with Nana and Papa to try a new restaurant here in Vancouver. While we were there enjoying our time together we were talking about how much we love trying new restaurants and having that time together. We decided we were going to try out at least one new restaurant every month and post our experiences here. This month we went to the Heathman Lodge's restaurant called Hudson's bar and grill. We had both been in the Heathman for different things and Justin has eaten lunch there but the dinner vibe and menu is very different. You walk into a huge log cabin with a big warm fire going, live piano music, and the feel of a mountain lodge. People are dressed casual to dressy and the crowd is very mixed, I saw a family with a young girl, maybe 11, and a couple at least in their 60's and everything in between. We were seated in a very large comfy corner booth looking right at the bar. Our waiter was great. Right on top of things, very knowledgeable, polite, and attentive. The food was spectacular. Maybe our opinions were a little skewed since we had been skiing with the kids all day and were pretty tired and hungry but I don't think so. We started out with an appetizer of a variety of mushrooms sauteed in a butter sauce and they were probably my favorite of the night. Mouth watering so I highly recommend them if you ever go there. Justin had a corn and chicken chowder while I tried the beet salad, which surprisingly was really good. Our entrees were also delicious. I had lobster ravioli and Justin had a peppered NY steak. Everything had something just a little special about it and it was all cooked perfectly. It is definitely top on my list of favorite restaurants in Vancouver now but only go there if you are prepared to spend a lot because they are pricey. Look forward to seeing what we try next month! I hope it's as good, but cheaper than Hudson's!
