"We are opening in 10 - 14 days. Food will have a similar feel to what we serve at Bistro28. Driftwood on tap and a good selection of import/specialty bottles."

Chef hangs his hat downtown
Sam Chalmers has decided to hang his hat, literally, in the downtown core.
Sam Chambers, chef and owner of Black Hat Bistro, takes his successful formula from Oak Bay to downtown core.
The chef and owner of Oak Bay’s Bistro 28 has hung the black fedora he used to wear while cooking on a new peg at the corner of Langley and Broughton streets — the site of his latest venture aptly named the Black Hat, which will opens tonight for family and friends.
The hanging of the hat, which hugs the wall near the bar, is as much a statement of intent as a touch of decor. Chalmers, 31, is staking his claim that he’s ready for prime time.

I don't feel Black Hat had any real distinguishing feature to keep locals coming back and make it stand apart. Off the beaten track location doesn't help either.
Hopefully the new incarnation can gain some traction.

but I wonder how they get away with serving beer by the growler?
In the eyes of the liquor board wouldn't a growler be in the same category as a pitcher of beer?

Four of us had dinner at North 48 recently and we all enjoyed it. I particularly enjoyed the new lower price points compared to Black Hat (which I liked but only visited once) Duck wings were a fan favourite among the guys and the ladies really liked the baked brussel sprout salad. A three protein entre was the dinner special for $20, it included sous vide chicken, bone marrow and pork belly. All of it was great and I will return.

That's good, a patio always helps, especially one with southern exposure

We've walked by this restaurant many times and finally decided to try it tonight. During the meal I thought "why did we wait so long"? It's not talked about much and it's certainly not in an ideal location for tourists, being off the beaten path, but what a hidden gem. I mean oh man, it's got great food, great service, and reasonable prices. Everything is made in house and the quality shows. We shared the Bistro Salad off the happy hour menu for $7 (normally $11) and split the Pappardelle Bolognese, with hand made pasta - one of the best I've ever had. For dessert we shared the warm donuts with chocolate and raspberry sauce for $7. They have so many interesting things on the menu we're coming back soon. Hungry yet?

Went tonight. Absolutely fantastic. Various dishes by our party included the hot pot (best he's every had), ribs - fantastic, tacos (korean pork belly) which I found perfect, the hamburger - delicious. The homemade potato chips to start are great, and a side of mac n cheese for the toddler disappeared fast too, almost as fast as my happy hour Fat Tug.
