My husband and I dined at Cinetopia/Vinotopia as a special treat. We had heard about the food and thought we should check it out. After looking over the menu on the web site my first impression was that the food was a little pretentious for a movie theater in Vancouver, even the fanciest movie theater! I must preface the following statements by saying the I am an experienced professional cook and can fully understand the pressure of a kitchen and the difficulty in coordinating the execution of a perfect dish for each table every time. That being said, my husband ordered the rib eye steak ( our reason for going there was specifically to try this steak ) we were informed that the steak was not available but the chef would be happy to prepare a NY strip for the same price. The cost was not really the issue and but it was a saturday night at 7 PM at a not so particularly busy time in the restaurant service! They were out of rib eye?!The husband changed his order to the pasta with seafood and I ordered the short ribs or should I say rib. We also ordered a glass each of the suggested wines for our dishes to be served with the meal. After our order was taken our server returned and said I might be interested to know that the wine I ordered was $15 per OZ. I asked her to choose something similar but perhaps a little less extravagant. To be fair I did not specify ,but the wine she chose tasted like grape juice( in a bad way ), did not compliment my meal and was about as expensive as the recommended wine. My husbands wine was more interesting and even though he is not a fan of white wine it went with his tiny portion of bland pasta and gritty clams. My gristly short rib ( yes just the one ) was served in what tasted like cafeteria gravy and was as cold as the stodgy mash it rested on. I would never wish this meal on my worst enemy but the knife was dug in further with the $80+ check we received with one appetizer and NO dessert and a 15% tip added in.
Pros: MOVIE
Cons: NO PARKING BAD FOOD BAD WINE POOR SERVICE

I was taken to Vinotopia restaurant by a friend for dinner. What a beautiful, romantic place it was. The food was excellent, was the service. We were able to go into the Wine Tasting room and pick the wine we liked to have with dinner, that was so much fun. The staff is very nice, friendly and always stopping by to see how things were going and if we needed anything more. I would definately recommend this place to friends, I already have!!
Pros: Romantic setting
Cons: Wine tasting a bit spendy
