WELCOME to Rob
Ward's Theme For a
Summer Place.

If you feel inspired to hum
along, think bright, sunny,
optimistic and energetic.
~ You'll be in your own
summer place. Or better still
you'll be in Saltaire — Ward's
impressive sccond-storey West
Vancouver restaurant.

Better make that chird-
storey too.

The two add up to one of
the North Shore’s best new
dining venues.

Back Attached Family Pack

Saltaire opened quietly on
June 12. The latest tenant in
the 235 15th Street locale is
an ambitious gamble by
Saltaire’s three principals, the
other two of whom are
Darren Flintoff and ex-
Edmonton Oiler goalie Bill
Ranford.

But ambitious gambles are
what life is all about, ladies
and gentleman of the dining,
fraternity.

Besides, the Saltaire brain-
trust is rich in talent.

As previously reported,
Ward hails from Brent Davies
Sequoia Enterprises thor-
oughbred family of restau-
rants (Ferguson Point
Teahouse, Seasons in the
Park, Cardero’s, the Sandbar
— the newly revamped
Mulvaney’s), where he was a
vice-president.

Flintoff and Ranford are
also parmers in the
Megalicious Food Corp.,

2/9478 | 3/$

Prices effective July 9-15, 2000
(while supplies last - we reserve the right to limit quantities.)

which operates the Mr.
Mike’s grill restaurant chain.

Weren “Goose” Goss, the
original head man at the Park
Royal South Keg Steakhouse
and Bar and the former gen-
eral manager at Cardero’s in
Vancouver, is also working
the Saltaire dining room.

And that dining room was
humming on a recent Friday
night. Not sure if all were
humming Theme From a
Summer Place, but with the
late evening sun filling
Saltaire’s natura! wood and
copper interior with a soft
optimistic glow you'd be hard
pressed to be humming any-
thing else. :

Ward has eliminated
ally all traces of the Ambleside
Bistro, Saltaire’s mischicvous
and entertaining predecessor.
Gone is the downtown West
End drapes and drama decor;
