Table Hopping § Cheers — tis the season HE NEWEST establishment on the North Shore to open its doors to restaurant patrons is called Cheers. It is located at 125 East 2nd in| North Vancouver - directly across from the Olympic Hotel and right next door to the Li Gardens. The management of Cheers has combined several things that the public seems to be demanding of restaurants today. And, as a result it has overnight become a very popular place to dine. The might I visited Cheers the place was packed by seven o'clock. As is the case with some of the newer and more ‘‘in’’ restaurants Cheers only takes reserva- tions for groups of eight or more. Therefore, you should be ready for a short wait if you arrive during the prime dining time. This isn’t as bad as it may seem as Cheers has a good size lounge and you can order some ‘‘appeteezers’’ to munch on while waiting for a table The decor 1s strikingly dif- terent from most traditional restaurants. The walls are all painted a jade green yet the effective use of lights, the view of the Vancouver skyline and some special decorative touches gives it an appeal all of its own The crowd is a mixture of the voung and the old and the By LFN SLADE well dressed and the casual. Parking is available on the Street but with all = the restaurants in the area it can be difficult finding a spot. The menu is extensive but nothing exceeds $9.95.
