meal-sized salads and hamburgers
is $2.95 to $9.95, Entrees, a simple
selection of pastas, red meats and
seafood, are in the $8 to $15 fi-
nancial green zone.

Though the restaurant is far
above traditional family dining
levels, O’Doul’s welcomes
children.

My wife and I, wide-eyed from a
Robson Street tour, were impress-
ed with both the restaurant's food
and service.

I began with back-to-back
glasses of Jacob Demmer Riesling
($3.50), a refreshing featured
German wine offered by the glass.

From the evening’s special insert
menu, we tested a Pumpkin and
Marjoram Soup ($2.56) and a plate
of Fresh Mussels ($6.50).

Both openers were light and
refreshing. My mussels came with
bright green asparagus spears and
were served beneath a creamy herb
and white wine sauce.

My wife’s main dish was Broiled
Baby Side Ribs ($12.95) from
‘O’Doul’s regular menu. The ribs’
accompanying honey-garlic
barbecue sauce was spiced with an
interesting bite of cayenne pepper.

Meal portion would have been
more than adequate for . the

average appetite.

From the special menu, I chose a
Pork Loin Steak ($11.95). The
thick cut of meat was beautifully
grilled and served with a savory
pepper and garlic cream sauce that
coaxed the best from the dish's
meat.

Both orders came with a colorfu!
vegetable accompaniment of
yellow bears, a whole carrot, zuc-
chini slices and two boiled
potatoes.

For dessert, we indulged
ourselves in an Apple and Cin-
namon Brioche ($2.75) and an
O’Doul’s Chocolate Terrine
($4.25).

The terrine, a pure chocolate
pate slab, came with a brilliant red
raspberry puree that both con-
trasted with the sweetness of the
chocolate and added a flourish of
red to the deep brown plate.

Needless to say, I could only
look on helplessly as my wife,
chortling oddly to herself,
devoured the dish between two
deep breaths.

My brioche included two good-
sized slices of the bread-style pud-
ding and was covered in a maple
syrup sauce.
