Quick Bite – 100 Days

September is always a busy month for me.  It’s my busiest month at work, coupled with the fact with the fact that dragon boat is almost ending and hockey is just beginning, I just haven’t had a lot of time to post.  It’s not that I haven’t been eating, or making meals, it’s just that I haven’t been all that inspired to write about my experiences.  I wanted to kick-start myself, and when I read about a cool concept restaurant in Yaletown, I booked a meal out because I knew that no matter what, it would be blog-worthy,

100 Days is dubbed as Food + Art remixed.  A unique collaboration of graffiti art and innovative cuisine.  That’s about as much as I read and I was sold.  Unlike most food experiences that I encounter, I did not over research because I wanted to “experience”.  A Friday in Yaletown, which in it of itself is a unique experience for the parking-phobic Ben.

Maybe I didn’t read up enough about this, but I thought that this place would have more of a rotating menu, that didn’t seem like it’s the case.  There were a lot of fun things to choose from though.

We chose the Tuna Tartare to start, more because the server sold me on it.  Not bad, but I think I should have gone with a salad.

Maybe I’m being hard on 100 Days but I did go in with some expectations.  I really did want to enjoy the experience of a rare Friday night out in Yaletown.  The place was packed though, and it looked like some people were enjoying their time there.  Service was a bit slow, and we were each comped a glass of wine because we were made to wait a while for our meals to be served.  Ben pointed out that they noticed that I was out with my big camera and knew I was probably going to write about my experience.  Sorry though, 1 free glass of wine was not enough to buy better feelings about my experience.  It also doesn’t do a lot to convince me that I shouldn’t research my meals more throughly either.

100 Days ends on Dec 31st where this space at the Opus Hotel will be converted into a new restaurant.  Until then, I’m sure a lot of wannabees will enjoy a mediocre meal here.  Too harsh? Blame it on September Susy, who doesn’t have time for B.S.
