Dine Out Vancouver - Restaurant 8 - Chartwell at Four Seasons Hotel

This is what fine dining is all about.

Restaurant - Chartwell
Sitting - 7:30pm
Price - $35
Amibance - Colonial Woodwork, real fire place and lots of wood paneling and oil scenic paintings
Service - Impeccable
Food we had - Dinner rolls with lots of bread sticks [very good, light and crunchy bread sticks]
Appy:

• Steak Tartare, Moroccan Spice, Hummus [very fresh, greatly seasoned and presented]
• Lobster Bisque, Cappuccino [rich, with tidbits of lobster meat, cream foam on top]

Entree:

• Duck Breast, Salsify, Polenta, Carrot Sauce [there was 5 nicely medium slices of duck on a bed of polenta, the duck was tender and the polenta was seasoned and delicious]
• Halibut, Mushroom Sauce, Brussel Sprouts, Celery Root [this was nicely pan fried; not overdone and have a crispy side, presented nicely, one of the better fish dish I have tried throughout this Dine Out]

Dessert:

• Hazelnut Pistachio Dome - upside down pudding cake with delicious pistachio centre [tastes great and looked very interesting]
• Grand Marnier Souffle (add on $6) [perfectly risen souffle with creme anglais on the side and a spoonful of orange sorbet]
• We were also presented with small brownies and a white chocolate shell hand made candy with a soft white chocolate centre

Additional Comments - other than a very noisy diner next to us (thank goodness they were gone by the first course), this was a perfect meal - great appys, fantastic entree and great dessert. We always walked right by when we are at Pacific Centre, now we will stop and consider dinner here. After Dine Out, they also have a $35 Dine and Dash dinner with similar set up but more choices, and the only rule is you have to be seated by 6:30pm. Not bad if you work downtown and want to have a nice bite.
