JOY TELLS ALL

It was almost a textbook study
in the way to do it right!

The restaurant has that stylishly
European ambiance with white
linen tablecloths, polished silver,
old brick, weathered beams and

‘perfect service.

On opening night they also had
musician Joc Morelli, pianist
David Boothroyd, lyric soprano
Jill Diane Fillion and baritone
Gary Dahl performing operatic
arias between the delectable dinner
courses, which added that extra
touch that one hopes for but never
expects.

Alabaster, a Northern ftalian
specialty house, has 50 seats, every
one of which was filled that
evening by such VIPs as North
Van's film wizard Tom Rewe and
his broadcaster wife Vicki
Gabereau, PR woman Laura Van-
driel, hotelier Eleni Skalbania, the
Urban Peasant’s James Barber,
City Food’s Jamie Maw, wine
writer Tony Gizmondi, Vintage
Consultants’ Darryl Weinbren,
Richard Curras and Wendy
Taylor, along with another 40-odd
guests.

_ A very congenial evening...

The big bash attracted about
800 people with a buffet dinner,
party favors and very loud live
music for dancing.

. Gigantic red and white balloous

admission.
