Dine Out Vancouver - Restaurant 9 and 10 - Ocean 6 Seventeen

This restaurant is SOOOO GOOD we came here twice within the same week!

Restaurant - Ocean 6 Seventeen
Sitting - 6:30pm
Price - $25 and $35
Ambiance - Cozy, Romantic, Waterview
Service - Fantastic and Personable without being pushy
Food we had - Slices of various home made bread with spread [I forgot to write down what it was but it tasted great]

They have both a $25 and $35 menu and both have fantastic food.

Appy:

• Scallop with Squash soup, spruce tip syrup [hot soup with grilled Scallop, very flavorful and good on a cold night]
• Surf and Turf - Thinly sliced Capaccio Rolled with Crab Meat and Pomme Frit [this was very nicely presented, the capaccio was nice and fresh and the pomme frit was as thin as thread, great chew factor with the soft meat and crunchy pomme frit]
• Blue Cheese Tart Salad with Quince [this is my first taste with quince and it takes some getting used to; the cheese tart was huge for an appy]

Entree:

• Trout - Pan seared fillet, crab risotto, lemon brown butter [very nice and light and the risotto was rich, full of crab and very flavorful]
• Venison - with mushroom mashed potatoes [grilled to order; medium rare; very rich and decadent mashed potatoes with various mushrooms mixed in]
• Halibut - Pan seared fillet, herb butter and season medley of squashes [meaty tasting fillet with layers of flavorful squashes]

Dessert:

• Warm Ginger Poached Pear and home made Ginger snaps [very lightly poached and not over sweet]
• Molten Chocolate Cake served with a scoop of white chocolate ice cream and shavings of white chocolate inside each bite and small slices of apple [decadent, rich but not overly sweet, the cake is a cross between warm chocolate pudding and chocolate syrup]

Additional Comments - with highly competitive restaurants around town, this one stands out with its beautiful food and excellent customer service. Lori - our server/hostess was friendly but not overly pushy. She is very knowledgeable about the menu and how its prepared and answered all our questions patiently. The friends we brought to this restaurant were all impressed.
