CS - Friday, July 27, 1984 - North Shore News

AST WEEK we decided to leave the con-
fines of the North Shore and try a restaurant
on the other side of the water.

By LEN SLADE

We took a jaunt across the
Lion’s Gate Bridge. Once in-
to the causeway we took the
first right turn. And, almost
immediately arrived at the
front door of the Prospect
Point Cafe.

The restaufant has been
open for six weeks. And,
judging from the packed
house on a Tuesday it seems
to be off to a great start.

The main dining area 1s on

spacious. There are countless

prawns wrapped in phyllo

strawberry sauce ($15.95).

We were all taken by sur-

everything is a la carte.

The best part of the even-
ing’s repast was the ap-
petizers and the excellent ser-
vice provided by our waiter
Stephen. Hopefully time will

bring about an improvment
in the presentation of the
food and the value one
receives for their dining
dollar.

The bill for the four of us,
including the one drink each
before dinner and a
reasonably priced bottle of
wine, was $113.24 not in-
