Put a Cork In It
One too many pints at a few too many Olympic venues has us pining for a proper sit down meal.
To cleanse our palate of overpriced beers, we pulled up a bentwood café chair to a white tableclothed table at Cork & Fin.
The name of the new brick-and-beam Gastown restaurant spells out its
best offerings—good glasses of wine and well-priced seafood.
Anticipating small portions we ordered a feast of scallop ceviche
($12), mussels in a bath of cream, bacon and white wine ($14),
Dungeness crab mashed potatoes ($9) and snapper ($13) to share, and
shamefully, were too stuffed to finish the generous, delectable spread.
Plenty of fish in the sea, indeed.
