Sourcing the Skinny on BC’s Restaurant Industry

I haven’t heard a peep from the peeps behind it but I hear it’s the Scott Morrison side of the Browns chain (Cactus Club clones) trying to do a “high end” steakhouse in two locations at once, one in Yaletown in the old LK Dining Lounge location and the other in Kits in the old Thai Yummy spot. I’d wager a plate of chili chicken and some short skirt service that Pinkys will be popular with the CFD crowd, but both locations are tough. The full name is Pinkys Steakhouse and Cocktail Lounge. The Yaletown opening is slated for the end of November…more info as it arrives…

went in last night. It was their first bit of service.
Nice room. Lots of cool touches, and more to come.
Met all of the owners / managers.
Had a few things on the menu. Great crab cake and calamari.
Sterling Silver beef……..very good quality and flavour.
Nice wine list that is well priced. Interesting selections.
They will do well here.
Nice to see some action in that space. That end of the block is coming together.
Now if we can just get some more restaurants on my end of Yaletown.
[...] Again in the Sun, Michael Kane gives us the low down on Scott Morison of Browns and Pinkys. [...]
Great first impression,
We literally live on top of Pinky’s kitchen — they heat our apartment, so we decided to give them a try.
We are sometimes hesitant to dine in Yaletown — from the birthday girl in Glowball showing us her underwear during our meal, to having our conversation drowned out by loud and inappropriate background music at Flite, we are a bit gun shy. Pinky’s was a wonderful surprise and a a complete turn around from our other Yaletown experiences.
The space itself makes a great first impression. The decor is well designed and well though out, though we did hear every order shouted into the kitchen from our perch along the back wall.
We both enjoyed our meals. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly and my partner’s wilted Spinach Salad was wonderful. His halibut was flavorful but the presentation made it a little difficult to enjoy.
Service was excellent. Out waiter was personable and attentive.
Oh, and the take home steak sandwich from your leftover steak is a great idea!
