He is the head infuser at
this most interesting new
restaurant incarnation at the
south foot of 15th Street in
West Vancouver.

As regular readers will
know, Jnfiston followed the
sudden departure earlitr this
year of the promising Ciao
Mein.

The Ciao itself had tol-
lowed the equally promising
Granite Cafe in the summer
of 1996,

here co digest, as Aldous
Hunley advised, the here and
now.

Better for the system all
round.

And Infusion commands
full here and now attention
spans.

Whether he knew it or
not, this is the restaurant that
owner Mark Sager originally
had in mind when he first
faunched the Granite back in
1994: a second-storey affair
with just the right balance of
sophistication and intormaliry
to draw in those finicky West
Vancouver diners.

A second-storey retreat
wherein the discerning diner
could secure a window seat to
experience a complex meal
that would challenge the
tastebuds or merely drop in
for a platter of Yam fries and
a chilled pinot gris ina comty
Italian leather couch and take
in Hockey Night in Canada.

It just took a couple of
turns around the old dining
track to gee co the desired

end.

Live and learn.

And Infusion shows all the
signs of ownership having
lived and learned.

For sccrters there is a host-
ess stationed ac the ground
floor entrance to greet
patrons and lead them to
their tables on the second
floor. ;
No mure antiseptic cleva-

‘tor rides or solo stair climb-

ing. Instead, immediate .
acknowledgement. Diners like —
thar. :

And at tie second-storey
entrance: an elegant bar ser-
vicing an equally elegant
lounge ourficted with rich
leather couches, a roaring gas
fireplace and color televisions.

In the dining room the
expansive open kitchen from
the Granite Cafe era remains.
A good thing too: it was
always one of that restaurant’s
best features.
