Students in tourism business visit Mai Po Nature Reserve - Hong Kong in the Year of Wetland Tourism for Ramsar
Report by Mathew Cheng, Centre Manager - Mai Po Nature Reserve, WWF-Hong Kong.
To celebrate the Year of Wetland and Tourism for Ramsar WWF-Hong Kong (WWF-HK) co-organised with the Macau's Institute a site visit for students to experience first-hand how a sustainably-managed wetland can accommodate visitors while at the same time pursuing the goals of conservation. Early November, over 60 students from the Institute for Tourism Studies of Macau visited Mai Po Nature Reserve (MPNR). MPNR is part of the Mai Po Inner Deep Bay Ramsar Site located in the North West New Territories of Hong Kong. Major in tourism business management and heritage management, the students took a guided tour in the nature reserve to learn more about sustainable tourism practices. More [29/11/12]

DONALD for the Claus family — OR
Josh and Chelsea met at a small church as teenagers, dated for nearly 5 years and have now been married for 9 years. They now live right around the corner from the church where they met and have four beautiful biological children, ages 7 and under.
Chelsea has wanted to adopt since she first heard, as a little girl, that there were children in the world who didn't have families. Josh agreed that adoption was important but wasn't yet convinced that it was for their family. When friends of theirs adopted a child with special needs from an Eastern European country, their eyes were opened to the plight of the orphan, especially those with special needs across the globe. Their eyes could not be shut, and Chelsea began advocating for waiting children through Reece's Rainbow, and became a prayer warrior for several orphans. God started to speak to both Josh and Chelsea about adoption. Through much prayer they came to believe that their family was called to adopt, but they didn't know who or when. Well, God provided them with the who. A sweet 4 year old boy with Sotos Syndrome and Scoliosis had snuck into their minds and stolen their hearts. Once they knew who they should adopt, that also answered the question of when. NOW!
They are stepping out in faith to rescue this precious child from his orphanage in Eastern Europe. Adoption is redemption, and redemption is costly. Please help them give this very deserving little boy a forever family who will treasure him always.

I am a senior ECE major at Carnegie Mellon University, graduating May 2012. Here's my cool blog on making gadgets: Allan's Electronoblog
I've applied to a few PhD programs in the area of VLSI analog circuits. My undergraduate research project has been in the design of high-voltage power distribution networks for modern CMOS processes. I am currently designing a 45nm SOI test chip to characterize a new topology for power delivery using stacked logic blocks in series. The idea is based on the 2006 JSSC paper High-voltage power delivery through charge recycling, but my implementation uses a different voltage regulation circuit. Taping out in late March!

VIDEO: UM coach Al Golden after UNC loss
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
Wow pathetic. Season over fire coach d. Overall this is a sad team. See y'all next year
There is no quit in this team. Granted, the defense leaves alot to be desired, but for those of the fans on here that have EVER played ball, you know it is tough to succeed/win on a regular with young guys. Everyone must realize, in the early 2000s most of this defense is learning from the upperclassmen. These guys don't have that chance to learn so as coach says, they are learning on the fly. To all the haters that come on here to bash this squad or def coord., chill out and bask in the wins and look forward to the following week after games the U falls a bit short. You are either in this for the long haul or get off the wagon now!!!!!! Come back in a year or two when this SAME team destroys teams like all fair-wether fans do.
Part of our problem on defense is the way we show our hand just before the snap of the ball. Our players go into their final set for the defensive call as soon as the offense lines up. Invariably, we end up with a 4 man front with two linebackers 5 - 7 yards off the ball. When the center lines up on the ball to make his blocking calls...there's no confusion for him....it's an easy decision. I believe our linebackers are athletic enough to stack the line of scrimmage in their initial set to confuse that center...put him in a blocking scheme dilemma by faking the numbers in our favor. But hey, who am I? Why aren't the Miami coaches teaching our kids how to do this?
I was an undergrad at the U when Kelly broke his shoulder. This was the year they beat PSU in the rain at the OB.
Regardless if coaches, ADs, Presidents it is absolutely heart breaking that 25 years later we lose to NC.
Regardless of equal scholarships, changes in the game, etc. We lost to NC.
It's shameful how far this program had fallen since that day I sat in the OB and watched us kick a last seconds field goal to knock of the #1 team.
Things have fallen apart so much.
Does anyone have Will Muschamps cell number? Him and his squad are putting in work!
Yes, we're rebuilding...or we're not.
Yes, our guys will get better...or they won't.
Yes, the sanctions won't really matter...or they will.
Yes, we're going to have many more good recruiting classes...or we won't.
Yes, the future will be brighter...or not.
But right now I'm just sick of losing, sick of being mediocre, sick of seeing how far this once great & proud program has fallen. I love this team, will always love this team, but for right now I need a break. I just can't stand to watch this anymore.
Great post Lucadog.
I agree and i feel your pain.
And it's real pain.
Very disappointing game from the offense - N. Carolina is OK, but nothing special on defense. UM has to win a game when its defense gives up 18 points, especially at home. This was a bad loss, the worst loss of the season the way I see it.
Al Golden is a defeated man.....his starring at the ND game mindlessly and his press conferences...he is done. There is no WAY he can turn this around and equally no way with sanctions.....he should rsign.
We are awful; simply awful. Worst team we have put on the field in decades; too young, too few, too inexperienced, too little, too many excuses. We need coaches who can adjust, call plays, and get this program in gear. I have never seen so many players out of place on defense or a lack of adjustments during a game; we suck as a team and coaching staff -- period.
shalalalalala has won...we are not relevant. harvard of the south. Miami has gotten worse every year of her tenure...not Golden's fault. Shalalalala wants Miami to be known for women's volleyball.
Golden did not dig the hole we are in, Coker and Shannon did. We cannot expect to win it all without some rebuilding work. There is an elite 11 QB on the horizen as well as a young squad that Golden will teach and help mature. LOSES SUCK We just played against a squad with offensive first rounders and an alll american running back and only gave up 18 points while making mistakes that a freshman team is going to make.
Miamis offense is randy shannons offense, al golden had nothing to do with it.....he recruited all except philip dorsett....the defense is all golden and company...coker-shannon-george bush....are not responsible for any of this.
rebuild what? UNC defense had 4 jr / 3 sr / 3 soph and 2 freshman.....miami offense is 6 soph / 5 jr and 1 sr.....almost idential....our offense should have easily handled unc defense.....offense is getting worse also...try watching nbc special about notre dame, was on yesterday afternoon.....youll see what a real coaching staff looks like....there is no way an institution like that would tolerate DC weak performance.
gallo right again like always. we are badly coached. offense has gotten worse. there was plenty of rime for receivers to be open they werent or the qb couldnt find them. sad day thats the best we can do at home. somrthing is wrong. i ro;;ed my ankle like that in a kickball game last week. still manged to play. not saying hes not extreamly hurt just saying wheres the heart. cant watch anymore blood pressure to high lol. ps i feal for everyone on here we are all just fed up with this stuff. we beat ohio st last year. now ohio st is a top ten team this year how does that happen lol
we made strides thia year, season is over now as far as anything meaningful. man if we could of pulled that game out though we had acc wrapped up. now nc wins it
This Just In:
UM defense only gives up 486 yards in loss
to North Carolina! A breakthrough!!!
Defensive line may put defenders in formation for
running plays around the ends. Coaches to confer.
Passing game sputters and receivers rarely beat
the coverage to get open. Mystery continues.
Drops continue. Dorsett hit in helmet at the
goal line. Hurns drops third down rollout pass.
Walford to be examined by medical staff for possible hand deformities.
Kickoff returns are a non-factor. Returners encouraged to run to the spot with the most defenders for the purpose of execution.
Coach and players claim they failed to "execute,"
once again. Players now speaking Coachspeak. Show
minimal rage at losing...too impolite. Tea to be served.
Defensive coordinator offensive to fans, about whom
he doesn't care...Makes adjustment with #44 on the
D line...may receive innovator of the year award!
Miami Hurricanes of old nowhere to be found.
Admission standards increase, but players not smart enough to "execute"! Shalala may raise standards!
UM leads ACC in players with dreadlocks. May be slowing them down! Hair may be executed!
And Florida State is coming to town...
Good post dbc you gotta turn to humor to be able to swallow this incompetence. Golden's honeymoon should be over, this team is regressing and I don't see a rebuilding with sanctions on the horizon, we are stuck in mediocrity again with no hope.
FSU easily killed BC, a team that gave us fits. They will destroy us too unless a miracle happens.
Some one said he's tired of the losing and mediocrity, welcome to the club!
The only way for the Canes to recover is to replace the DC and the OC. If golden will not get started on that immediately by searching for proven successes in those jobs, then, he and the whole staff needs to be fired effective at the end of the season. And shalala needs to go, also. She has been a one woman wrecking crew of the Miami U Hurricane football player and fan program for the last decade.
The Cane players are great as they always are. A blind man could recruit from South Florida and could put together a great Miami team of great players. Players are told by the stupid coaches that they are not executing or the players are out of position. Malarkey. The coaches do not know offense or defense, so of course the players are out of position.
There's nothing we can do, but wait. Golden will have a few years to prove himself. UM will not fire him "Period". He's great communicating with young men. I beleive in him. We are seeing what it will be like when we get sanctions. Just pretend we are on sanctions right now. These kids will get better. It's a shame we couldn't take advantage of a weak Coastal Division. Now it's up 4 grabs! If we don't win the coastal, I say give up another Bowl. I only hope it rains for FSU!
dbc...that is the best I have ever seen, lol....dont forget Um baseball as well...shalala killed that also....FSU-Florida-ND....top 20 all in fierce recruting battle for fla talent....will almost immpossible for um going forward, especially with sanctions....I dont think Golden can get fired with his new contract....however a big time NFL OC/DC as head coach will at least give recruiters a chance in the living rooms....in notre dame nbc special yesterday...you should see the fla recriuting team....got a foothold in st thomas aqua....they almost had giovanni bernard....that to me is what is the most troubling based upon this season being essentially over.
dbc.....I cant stop laughing "walford to be examined by medical staff for possible hand deformities"...dude that post is a CLASSIC...it does not get any better than that....I made a cut/paste of it....very impressed but sorry state of UM
Does anyone have Nick Sabans number and please, please give phillip dorsett the boot....!!
Thanks. A yuck can help.
Tough to witness that game.
I always enjoy your passion and willingness
to cut throught the BS.
Hoping for a miracle!!!
Maybe IT IS THE HAIR!
dude i took the acc final um stats from the beginning of the season (blocked out all the hype)...defense was at 4,319 or 359 per game average...(google 2011 u of maimi overall team statisics nov 25,2011) that pdf on the opponents side is the benchmark...equal it um goes 6-6 just like last year....I saw rigth away that the defensive yards begining in the BC game goes right to 436...then 499 the over 500...you see the defensive yards going exponentially higher with each game.....it is a statistical impossibility for UM to have a winning season based upon that...as a result you are seeing it play out now....you have to improve every opponent stat on the right side of that pdf. I dont listen to any of the coaches interviews or opinions...its all about the stats.
Im really going to have to find something more productive to do on saturdays! Im CONVINCED football has gone the way of professional wrestling with a: script, a predetermined winner and loser. If you didnt know this after the 2002 fiesta bowl you should definately know it now. Why even play the game if the winner has already been determined?? How is it that the odds makers can predict or determine; who will win and the margin of victory with such precision week after week??? North carolina (a very average team was picked to win by 4 and thats exactly what happened). We should not lose to them at home, nor should we struggle with their counterpart (nc state) at home.. Good luck to all of you and its been fun being a Canes fan for the last 30 years but i must go. College football is scripted like all other sports!!!
golden see that stats as well....2011 was rebuilding year at 395 defensive average.....how the hell in our second year we to over 500 defensive yard average and golden says....dont worry...rebuilding....come on man..thats all BS...he know wtf is going on...the question is....will he boot DC....I say no, they are a package deal.....DC goes, golden will go.
I am lucky to have lived the miami glory years and 1972 dolphins....those are days gone by and to never come back I am afraid....it is too bad the green peas class 2004 and beyond to 2016 did not have the chance to go to a great school and enjoyed it all....the school...football...baseball...the orange bowl...cocaine wars (lol)..it was a fun time.
Hand deformities...hilarious!
Other teams are starting to recruit in South Florida people, this is a major problem for us.
On saturdays all I am going to do is watch 30 for 30 espn um .....stever walsh.."I remember some pretty prominent miami players wearing hoods a stealing car stereos...hats what they has to do to get by"....the best....or when he said tim brown was complaining to the refs that miami defensive players were talking bad about his mother....."they probably were"...classic stuff
"Coach and players claim they failed to "execute,"
once again. Players now speaking Coachspeak. Show
minimal rage at losing...too impolite. Tea to be served"..lmaoooooo
dosent ryan williams have the worst arm motion in the world?
ryan williams looks awful, we win that game if morris doesnt get hurt
People whining about ND and others recruiting in South Florida like in the catholic schools. Helllooooo.
Schnell recruited in overtown and liberty city. Get the kids from the Florida and the Philly ghettos, again. The kids from the nice schools are not tough enough nor nasty enough to play for Miami.
Schnell came from the Don Shula staff which was always into the playoffs with Griese and the fin defenses. Golden and his staff came from pedophile state u where the "we are penn state" crowd is happy if joepa went 8-4. And golden is NOT the caliber of joepa coaching.
I totally agree with Georgie Southern Cane. This team has 20 Freshmen playing and a dozen starting. Every team we've played thus far has had an average of 14-18 Seniors starting.
That's 22 year olds playing against 18 year olds. Patience people!
Jimbo, Last years team had some seniors that up until then weren't coached well, but experienced, this years team on defense, is almost completely new since those players graduated. This year is a rebuilding year and everybody knows it because we have the young building blocks to make a strong defense in the future. The defense played much better yesterday especially in the 2nd half of the game. I don't know why some of you are pissing and moaning. If Morris doesn't get hurt we likely go down and score and win the game. Guys UNC's offense is one of the best in the nation and they have one of the best QB's and RB's in the nation in Renner and Bernard, plus they have some hold overs from Butch's team on defense. Really and truley, Carolina was suppose the win the division this year by all the prodnosticators. Had our recievers actually caught the ball when it hits them in the hands then we would have won this game easily. I'm sticking with my Canes through it all.
Georgia Cane, U are a true Cane and understand what it takes in a rebuilding process.
dbc, good post, except UM's admission standards for athletes is the minimum required of the ACC.
It's the same standard Va Tech and FSU recruit with.
can go to ghettos anymore....they dont have the sats or the resume to get into miami....its not like the 80's where miami was basically everyone gets in that will pay.....this years offense is all shannons, and they are the only bight spot on the team...sorry our offense matched almost exact to unc defense in terms of years playing....stop with the if this and that....morris getting hurt didnt change the outcome.....what happend to the first 3 quarters?...all bs excuses as always. 14 offensive points...give me a break
goldens press conferences are looking worse and worse....he looks like a broken man...he really was unprepared for a program like miami's.....he is not going to make it. I understand its after a defeat but it just looks like he is carrying a big weight.....there something else going on here..i can sense it
Little jimmy there ain't nothing else going on there so quit with you usual BS rhetoric. Do you have any idea how much work, time invested and emotion goes into preparing a team to win especially with that many young players who are learning? And to lose a game that is that close takes a toll on a coach. He is far from being broken, he is just disappointed shortley after a loss. Quit playing your little playstation thinking that everything in the real world should happen like it does on a game. I do however agree with someone and it could have been you, in that WIlliams throwing motion is one ugly thing. The good thing with him though is he is more of an accurate passer on short to intermediate passes than Morris is. If Morris is not back by Saturday then we are going to have to be less wideopen and go back to more two back sets.
I believe in in Al Golden and this team! I will hold off judgement until next year! Jim Gallo you are not a canes fan, you are prob voting Obama too.
Al Golden looks pissed off int the presser because he CARES!
Thank U Jack!
I'm tired of the rebuilding and youth excuses. This team is not playing any better. The defense is terrible, the DC looks lost. Golden picked the DC, it's on him too.
If Randy was still here we would have Teddy Bridgewater as QB, how's he doing? It is time for Golden to step up, the honeymoon is over, he needs to produce. Beating FSU next week would be a good start. I don't think we can do it but at least put forth a good effort!
They better do a good job of coaching Williams up this week. We are going to need the entire playbook to have a chance against FSU. If that defense smells blood in the water the game will be over very quickly.
Manny, Susan,
Why don't you use your reporter skills and do a story on academic requirements at UM and compare them to the powerhouse programs. You know journalism.
I don't see us beating FSU and I would understand that loss!! NOW we must win the games we are supposed to: USF, DUKE and VIRGINIA! That puts us at 7-5 IMPROVEMENT INDEED. I looked at the roster on D it is a young squad, judge them next year! That said they must close the season strong! Randy Shannon got his four years!
Let's go Canes!!
Jack, well Florida State is about 3 years ahead of us in their reclamation project by Jimbo Fisher. So that being said they should beat us. Getting Morris back would be huge for us but Williams to his credit isn't a bad QB. With WIlliams we give up the mobility and Cannon arm Morris has but we do gain much more accuracy on short to intermediate routes. I tell you this Florida State has a good defense but it is not like it was hyped to be. Our D is looking better so its going to be a much better game than people think. Most of these nimrods up here don't know anything about the Canes, football or anything for that matter. They are just trolls wanting to create doubt and cause problems because they fear Golden, these young Canes and what our coaches are creating. They ain't true Canes.

Good simple single room. Small but adequate. Only problem for me was it had a skylight (no window), and you couldn't stop the light- I had travelled all night and would have appreciated making the room dark. sun shining on my face at 630am in the morning woke me up. Also I got there at 7 am- I didn't expect to checkin then but the girl said she could arrange me 'express ' checkin and it shouldn't be too long. So I sat around and waited. At 930 I checked but was told the cleaners don't start til 10. Eventually I got a room at 1230!! Had she told me when I first got there it would be that long I would have been ok, rather than promising me on a few occasions it 'wouldn't be long'- made it much more frustrating as I was tired and just sat around to wait. Otherwise great location and decent stay."
Very nice start to our holiday. Comfy beds, nice bath and ability to watch the activity of Melbourne Airport. In room dining service excellent. Would be nice to get some compensation for not being able to have the included breakfast due to early flight."
Very friendly staff. Conveniently located to airport link bus, public transport and the rest of the city.. The hotel is being renovated but I didn't hear any noise at all. My room was in the upper level of the rear part of the hotel and was clean and comfortable. I will stay again."
Have stayed there many times. Close to eateries and transport."
the staff are amazing and go that extra mile. The bathroom seem very outdated and leaked from the shower screen was more than a drip. We like how quiet the room was though from other guests."
A very nice stay for the money. Relatevely large room, with good size bath and perfect location. Recommended!"
Rooms are great. Location is beautiful. Dodgy carparks - isolated, dark and dusty/dirty. Car park lift is very small and claustrophobic/run down. Need more items on the overnight menu."
Staying at Tune was price friendly for my boyfriend and i. The only downside was we stayed when renovations were happening. The other downside is how thin the walls are, we could hear what was going on (family squabbles, kids screaming) outside and what's playing on tv in the next room. Still, location is great and easy walking distance to the city and super clean too! Will definitely stay here again despite the noise."
The room was comfortable and quite large for a hotel.the on site parking was a bonus at $10 a day."
Excellent service, clean, comfortable and conveniently located - this hotel was perfect for overnight business stay but would also be suitable for other times when need a room in Parramatta."
The stay was excellent; but having trouble getting an invoice."

The Highway
Youth Contemporary Worship Service (Grades 7-12)
Sunday Mornings | 9:45am
High school and junior high students are invited to come be part of a service geared for teenagers. Our staff understands students are at various places along their spiritual journey. With messages that are relevant and engaging, along with music that is heartfelt and inspiring, The Highway helps "prepare the way" for students today by offering a space that is not only inviting, but also challenging, as we encourage students to move deeper into an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ.
Sunday Nights| Junior High & Senior High
5 - 7pm
Crossroads is defined as, "A point at which a crucial decision must be made that will have far - reaching consequences." We believe that this is a space for all students to come - no matter where they are on their faith journey. While students may just be playing dodgeball or drinking a blended up value meal, we hope each Sunday night that students will find themselves in the crossroads; brushing up against other students who are following Jesus and decide to follow too. Join us for dinner at 5pm, and then continue with fun and fellowship until 7pm.
Morning Commute
Sr. High DevotionalsWednesday Mornings |6:30am| Cafe Du Monde Thursday Mornings | 6:30am | Donut King
Breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day. Why then would we not want to fill up on the Word as well? Drop in on your Morning Commute to school at either of our two locations to grab a bite to eat, visit with your friends at those "other schools," all while hearing student-led devotionals feed us with encouraging and inspiring direction for our lives and daily activities.
Life Groups
Small Groups/Student Groups
On any road trip the "how" we get there is vital, but the "who" we get there with can make all the difference. Life Groups are directed and specific opportunities for students to get connected with other teenagers, while fulfilling our call to become disciples for Christ. Whether it is through Bible studies, nursing home visits, or short-term studies; Life Groups meet with the intentional purpose to build community, while growing together in our faith. Life Groups meet at various times and places so contact the youth office for specific questions.

- Well done!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/21/2014We really enjoyed the jars. We ordered several and shared them. Don't miss the Bread Pudding jar!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FindScubajDined on 9/20/2014They are a little hard to find, tucked in the back of the stripmall, but completely worth the hunt. Amazing food, we will become regulars. Try the signature risotto!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great meal!Erin150VIPDined on 9/19/2014Typically Restaurant Week, I find, is not as good as the normal menu, but this was the exception! The four-course was interesting and DELICIOUS and the cocktail included in the deal was awesome. I can't wait to go back!Special Features:
- Just amazing.MmmPHXDined on 9/19/2014Been here twice, both times the best food I've ever eaten. Can't say much other than that.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner at crudoIanKDined on 9/19/2014Rwstaurant week is our favorite tome to come here; Start with the most delicious pig ears in a tangy sauce with spicy peppers. You will love the pork belly and the squid ink risotto is the best in the city!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/18/2014Great menu. Nice variety. Food was good. Had the Burratta and Yellowtail Collar, fig and goat cheese crostada. Yellowtail slightly undercooked which I could/should have asked to be grilled longer (note to self). Crostada was nice maybe too much crust. All-in-all a good meal and would go back to try other dishes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The crudo was the starjellyrollbluesVIPDined on 9/17/2014Attended a wine pairing dinner at Crudo two nights ago. The menu was creative and the price was reasonable. Both the wine and food selections were not the norm but all sounded wonderful. We were welcomed warmly and the staff too great care of us. Throughout the meal a representative of the wine imported came around to talk a little about each wine pairing and answer questions and the chef even made the rounds a few times. The course started with an ahi crudo that was the star of the show. It was served it olivita and pickled lemon. The flavors were so bright and they added so much to the delicious ahi. The next two courses and wines were also excellent. We are looking forward to enjoying our next meal at CrudoSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and service!REG18Dined on 9/14/2014My friend and I have gone to a number of restaurants around town for Sunday brunch, and we came back to Crudo. The food was so delicious (and of course, had absolutely no carbs or calories! *g*). The chef is to be complimented on the menu that day - that S'more bread pudding was decadent, and although I was hesitant at first at what I thought was a strange food combination, I thoroughly enjoyed the Cheddar pancakes with fried chicken! We will come back, for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent meal!lotuseatsDined on 9/12/2014Found Crudo while researching Phoenix best dining spots and was excited by the menu and concept. Its definitely qualifies for hole in the wall/hidden gem status, being located pretty far outside of downtown. But in the end the delicious meal was well worth the considerable cab fare. The butter fish was incredible, loved the flavors and the lardo was a perfect touch! The crispy pig ears appetizer was also a highlight. The wine list has some really interesting & affordable options. My only complaint was the burrata, its one of my favorite foods and I found the consistency of it here to be a little off. But overall I really enjoyed my dinner and would absolutely both recommend and return.Special Features:
- Exciting new place for a guest!FoodlvrDined on 9/12/2014I returned to Crudo with a guest, who had not been there before. I knew she wasn't totally adventurous, but knew there was plenty she would find to eat that would be pleasing to her. It turned out she loved the food, loved the staff and enjoyed the entire experience. I know she will be talking about it for quite a while to come!!!Special Features:
- We love CrudoSunnyoneDined on 9/5/2014We have been to Crudo's many times and each time we leave with a truly positive feeling. The food is beautifully prepared with layers of flavors and textures.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing Time - Waited too long!!DateNightDined on 8/23/2014My wife and I finally made our way to Crudo, and it was amazing. Our server, Chris, was very knowledgeable and gave us the great suggestion of both doing the tasting options and sharing. We got to experience 9 items on the menu, 2 from each section and 1 dessert. Everything was of a very high quality. The Butterfish and potato gnocchi were particularly amazing. The fig and goat cheese tart was also a hit and perfect for sharing. If you like quality food, don't wait, go here!!Special Features:
- Very Elegant foodMichaelVIPDined on 8/9/2014Very good food and unique in approach. Very sublime but wonderful food. More on the gourmet side for special occasions. Service was impeccable and not invasive. We enjoyed it very much.Special Features:
- Over pricedSBM1Dined on 8/9/2014I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anybody. The food was way over-priced. The quality of food was low and not tasty at all. Small green salad with a few tomatoes was over $10 and not enough dressing. Our server was not friendly and took a long time to get our main dish. I wouldn't go back there and don't recommend it to anyone.
- Everything was impeccableAllisonMDined on 8/8/2014This was our first time dining at Crudo and it was amazing from start to finish. All the staff were on top of service throughout the meal. Our waiter, Chris, was extremely knowledgeable about every menu item and drink. The food was ridiculously good. My husband and I eat out at a lot of well reviewed restaurants and the food here was unique, delicious and presented with love. Highly recommendSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A gem, indeedAquimoDined on 8/3/2014How could this place have been around for two years without my trying it? Dunno, 'cause it's rather wonderful. Easy to find, even though it's tucked away a bit off the Gas Lamp, architecturally interesting, great booths for conversation, and the food ... at least brunch, marvelous. Will be back. Certainly a place to take out-of-town guests.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful, innovative and funMaryygVIPDined on 8/2/2014This was my second time to Crudo and they did not disappoint. There were 6 of us and we tried the crispy pig's ears, and they were delicious! I did the 3 course tasting menu, which is so fun and a great way to try new things. The butterfish was outstanding. The service was terrific and everyone loved their food. I would highly recommend this hidden treasure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Foodie's DreamNottaDined on 8/1/2014Wow, wow, wow! The food here is fantastic! My two friends and I each did the 4 courses for $45, which turned out to be a great way to try a lot of food! The Crispy Pig Ears are a must! The Square Garden drink is really light and refreshing, with a little kick. The food here is phenomenal and the service is very attentive. I definitely want to come back to enjoy more!Special Features:
- SocalFoodieDined on 8/1/2014CRUDO is one of the gems in area. The quality of the food and creativity of the chef is outstanding. Would recommend for anyone wanting a special dining experience.Special Features:
- A little priceyOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/1/2014While the food is terrific, I think the menu is overpriced. Portions are small. Wine list is mediocre but the gem of the operation is their cocktails. Crudo offers wonderful drinks made with bourbon, vodka, tequila, rum or gin.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/20/2014Leisurely Sunday brunch with out-of-towners. Yum! Lookin' for eggs Benedict? Get the potato croquettes and get 'em now! The yellowtail and beet Crudo jar was a great beginning. They gladly accept reservations so you can plan your day. I've only been here for brunch but can imagine the deliciousness of dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Innovative menu!VickiDined on 6/29/2014We love Sunday brunch, but they all are beginning to feel the same! Not so here. I enjoyed my poached egg on mushroom gratin immensely. Me friend's dish, poached eggs on potato croquette with crispy pork belly was fabulous. My husband's meat loaf burger was huge and very tasty. When we return, I will have the potato croquette dish. I hought it was the best of the three. Dinner there soon.Special Features:
- Behind a strip mall gemJerryzDined on 6/29/2014Crudo is very good food served in an unpretentious manner. We were there for brunch and I had the poutine. If Rosemary roasted potatos with pork belly and goat cheese count the old school comfort food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One-of-a-kind Sunday brunchPennyDined on 6/22/2014Outstanding brunch! Our favorite item was the Starter Jar layered with bacon, tomato, and avocado, served with grilled bread.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday brunchYayaVIPDined on 6/22/2014Went with girlfriends for Sunday brunch to celebrate a birthday. I like to consider myself a foodie but when it comes to brunch I like to see some standards. Crudo is not the place for this. Their menu is very creative, no bacon, eggs and toast here. But if you would like to start with a Mason jar layered with Butterfish, beets, Horseradish and onion make your reservation now. The brisket and beet hash with poached egg was wonderful. It's a small intimate space with spot on service. Crudo prides themselves on their fresh, local ingredients and it shows. FYI, they presented us with glasses of champagne for a birthday toast. Nice touch! I will be happy to give Crudo a try at dinner to see if their quality holds at a busier time of day.Special Features:
- Love CrudoItsVanVIPDined on 6/21/2014I just love Crudo....the food!!! the service!!! the atmosphere!!! If you haven't tried it, you're missing out on one of Phoenix' best!Special Features:
- Great anniversary dinner!!OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 6/20/2014We tried nearly everything on the menu and it was all fantastic, fresh, flavorful and so yummy! I think the prices were a little steep for some of the smaller dishes, but it was a special occasion and worth it. The cheeses and the raw foods were the best!Special Features:
- Not your average brunch!PaleOneVIPDined on 6/15/2014We had been to Crudo before for dinner (which was tasty), but this was our first time for brunch. It did not disappoint. It was satisfying and delicious. A great twist on breakfast favorites. We will be back!Special Features:
- I never do thisOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/14/2014Excellent food & service, my wife and I enjoyed the entire experience. It made our 39th wedding anniversary memorable.Special Features:
- If In Phoenix, You Must Go to CrudogitlawVIPDined on 6/14/2014This is a restaurant that would have a two month waiting list in Chicago, New York or DC. Take advantage of the relaxed Phoenix dining scene by making Crudo your destination dining spot in the Valley. With a group of four, you can order almost everything on the menu and share. Start off with the pig ears. And ask for the bone marrow an extra with your meat courses. It is bigger and fuller than you will get any most other places in Phoenix and you get an actual bone marrow utensil to eat it with! Magical.Special Features:
- Fantastic ExperienceLove630Dined on 6/13/2014My husband and I decided to go to Crudo after a couple friends recommended it. It ended up being the best restaurant experience we've had in a long time. We chose the 3 courses per person option so that we could try a bunch of different things. Here's what we ordered: Albacore and Yellowtail Crudos, both phenomenal. One had black garlic and truffle oil and that was especially good. Impressive burratta app. Squid ink risotto was a memorable dish, very unique and flavorful. Lastly we had the short rib and pork shoulder entrees and each was amazing. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive. The cocktail list is impressive. Overall outstanding experience and we would definitely recommend it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- SWXSDined on 6/11/2014There are many reasons to eat at Crudo, but I keep coming back for just two: crispy pig ears and the killer whiskey selection.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place for fishKARENDined on 6/10/2014I have now been to Crudo several times, and have always enjoyed it. Their strong point is the raw fish, so be sure to try at least one of those options. I wished I had ordered another raw fish item or cheese item instead of the grilled red snapper I had, which was a bit overcooked and bland.Special Features:
- Quite Good - But hard to find.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/8/2014Good Food. Nice People. Cool Inside. Hard to find.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never DisappointsMettle2Dined on 6/4/2014I have eaten here a number of times and the food is great and the staff wonderful. This time we tried the polenta special and it was delicious. It was a nice deal and tempted us to try something different.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very goodEverettDined on 6/3/2014Burrata cheese, pig ears, dumpling stood out as very good. Squid ink risotto was good, a little heavy. Definitely recommend. Water needs to be filtered. Water not good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 264 reviews are from the Crudo reviews archive.
- Did not dissappointKPDinesDined on 5/25/2014I've read some great reviews on this restaurant and they were accurate! We started with the Crispy Pigs Ears and Burratta and both were great, probably our favorites of the night. The crudo items - we tried Hamachi and Albacore - were unique and tasty. The pork belly entrée was nice and juicy and complemented by a delicious polenta. The market fish was super fresh and beautifully prepared. I've visited other local restaurants based on strong reviews and they don't always live up to the hype. This one definitely does - from the ambiance to the service to the food. We'll definitely be back.Special Features:
- Unique dining experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/25/2014The menu was very creative with unusual food choices. Everything was very well prepared and attractively presented and the service was excellent. The atmosphere is sophisticated and the pace was perfect for us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quality food at quality priceFoodieloverDined on 5/24/2014We went during restaurant week and so there was a limited set menu option, but they showcased their best dishes and they were excellent. Very fresh, full of favour and interesting ingredients. Very good service and very tasty cocktails. They were happy to tailor a non-alcoholic version for me which was excellent. The decor inside is quite neutral and minimalist but tables are well spaced out so you have privacy. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- One of Kelowna"s bestDocron42Dined on 9/25/2014We have been there over the years. Just took some friends there who were visiting. We sat on the patio which was pleasant. The foie gras was a big hit! Overall, a lovely meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not Quite Hitting the BarhopefulfoodieinkelownaDined on 9/24/2014Our server was a bit jumpy and struggled to remember all the details about the food. The scallops were perfectly done, but at $15 I was disappointed to only see 2 on my plate and turned off by the carrot & pickle garnish. The pan roasted halibut with pakora cauliflower was creative, and I sopped up every last drop of the coconut sauce with the rice cakes. Unfortunately the halibut was a tad bit over cooked. Our greatest disappointment was my wife's soupy risotto which was her main. When asked if she was enjoying her meal she gave them her honest feedback, but the server put it on us to make the decision whether to send it back. That's just bad practice and why WaterFront fell below the bar this time. Great service makes a great restaurant.Special Features:
- One of the best in townRayJayDined on 9/22/2014Raudz is busy but definitely worth the wait. With Waterfront Wines you get the same quality food, ambience, great wines, but you can make a reservation. Don't hesitate to eat here. Good times!Special Features:

- WOW!!!VWrulesChickDined on 9/12/2014Words cannot express our experience, we will gladly welcomed to the establishment. Seated immediately with our host ever so friendly and informative. Our hostess was delightful and cheery. Hubbie had their duck pate appie - he loved it and tried their tasty scallops - mmmmm. Hubbie had Orofino Syrah and I tried one of their cocktails - Castaway - loved the spice in the drink. We shared the main course (ling cod special - cooked to perfection and the veggies were delicious. We had a great time from beginning to end.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/4/2014Our server was a blonde woman whose name escapes me but she was amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We were very well taken care of and I would definitely come back. Lamb Croquettes were a little too small though. More of an Amuse bouche. My Halibut was perfect cooked as well as the scallops. One comment I heard though was that the person who ordered the lamb would have preferred it fanned or whole so she could cut it up herself. This person is a huge foodie! I love it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Fresh dinner downtownCanadianGuestDined on 9/2/2014Recommended by friends. It was delicious meal with lots of different flavors. We tried multiple appetizers and then shared a fall off the bone boneless beef rib. Fantastic use of the fresh produce in season, and love the culture of using local farmers in the menu. One of the features was a miss, the crab cake, which was more like a pancake. However, fantastic BC wine list and a beautiful Italian feature red (unfortunately cannot remember the grape). Will visit again when we are in town. Always make a reservation, it's busy almost any day of the week!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/30/2014Fantastic food. Best Food had in Kelowna. Definitely will be going back.

- IndulgenceFood4UsDined on 8/14/2014Exquisite food and dessert, ate way too much but loved it all. Would love to see a more varied wine list from other countries on the "By the Glass" menu. It's nice to showcase Okanagan wine but they are not my go to wines.Special Features:
- Luv2shareLuv2shareDined on 8/12/2014We were a group of 5 and were able to sit outside on a warm evening and enjoy an excellent dinner.

- Awesome Dinner & Great ServiceCanucks64n66Dined on 8/12/2014Took out a co worker from back east and he was totally amazed at the quality food and amazing service... He is bringing his wife back next year for sure!!!!Special Features:
- Innovative food, great service!DPSOTTDined on 8/11/2014We really enjoyed our first visit to Waterfront Wines. The tapas were amazing - very innovative and delicious (large portions for sharing). The cocktails were also very unique and delicious. A foodies' delight in Kelowna!Special Features:
- Too cramped and noisy!JMcKechnieDined on 8/9/2014We occasionally eat at Waterfront Wines but generally find it noisy. But we had friends visiting from Vancouver (foodies) who were aware of Waterfront Wines and really wanted to eat there. First, despite always reserving days or weeks in advance asking for patio seating if possible, we have never been able to eat outside. Second, we were sooo crowded. Our waiter had a very difficult time getting close to our table to speak to and serve us. The waiter from the next table kept bumping into a person at our table as he tried to access the table he was serving. He splashed water on this person as he tried to reach his table. As usual, way too noisy for our liking. Two plates were very good, the two halibut plates were OK but not great.Special Features:
- Excellent dining experiencehorsemanVIPDined on 8/8/2014Chris took very good care of us on a beautiful Okanagan night. The food was sensational. Light summer fare with a great wine pairing of local Chardonnay.Special Features:
- Best Service We`ve ever hadfoodiejunkieDined on 8/6/2014We had a waitress last night who was absolutely brilliant. She was so attentive, but not pushy or fake. Every dish was explained perfectly, the wines explained with passion and true knowledge - I wish I could remember her name! The food was fantastic, the service amazing - thank you for a great eveningSpecial Features:
- JimkDined on 8/6/2014Great dinning experience, excellent food and serviceI would recommend this to a friend.
- Some dishes could be improvedDanielDined on 8/1/2014We ordered steelhead trout ($29) & lamb short rack ($32). The steelhead trout was perfectly made, tasteful, and well organized on plate with fresh veggie. The food portion is reasonable. However for the short rack of lamb, it was disappointing. The lamb was accurately cooked as medium rare. However, the marble fat of the two tiny pieces of lamb was too much & did not help to enhance appetite. The serving of the two small pieces of lamb rack is ridiculously small. There was the braised belly which was tender but too greasy. The falafels are stuffy but too stuffy… and could be better replaced by something more refreshing.. in conclusion, steelhead trout was a great choice but I made a mistaken when choosing the lamb, to bad for a $32 dish.Special Features:

- Gem in KelownaChrissyDined on 7/31/2014It was great to find a top notch restaurant in a small town such as Kelowna. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. We really enjoyed eating outside on the patio as well.Special Features:
- Great restaurantKWHiVIPDined on 7/30/2014Enjoyed the food and service. Had a bit of an unfortunate scene with some of the diners in the same room as us which put a damper on the evening. Would give the restaurant another try as the food was great.Special Features:
- Great FindEzzapetDined on 7/28/2014Loved this little gem of a restaurant. The patio is cute and cozy, service is top notch, and food is excellent. The only thing lacking was a good view of the water.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The wait staff is so friendly and attentive. It can't be beat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome Food & Service!ChelleDined on 7/25/2014If you are looking for a great restaurant for awesome food & service, Waterfront Wines is THE place! Although they are not right on the waterfront, it is a very nice restaurant! This is not your average priced restaurant, it is pricey, but then you do get what you pay for! We will definitely go back! Everything, from the service, to the drinks, to the appies, to the meal & then, of course dessert, was amazing!!! You will not regret your visit to Waterfront Wines! :)Special Features:
- Unique in Kelownafoodie2Dined on 7/25/2014As the name suggests this resto offers a carefully selected and extensive wine list. A tasting was offered when I couldn't decide between a couple of wines. The creative menu produced a mixed result. The halibut was excellent but caulifower dish with it mediocre. Great to see sweetbreads on a menu. The fries were disappointingly soft and way to salty. The tapas plate with the added cheese spread was good. Prices on the high side. Service was welcoming and very helpful. The interior is small and tables are close together and the room does have a "buzz". Of note was that we did get street parking nearby but if there is an event on at The Forum that would be difficult.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FoodedmontoneaterDined on 7/21/2014Great Menu, always tasty daily specials. Everyone is very friendly that works in the restaurant. Food is very tasty. We have been there multiple times and never disappoints. Unfortunately we had a less than stellar server this time who never came around until is was time to pay the bill and leave a tip. But the rest of the staff pitched in and were accomodating. If you get a server with dark hair and a tonguw ring, you may want to new server. Too bad one person ruins it for everyone else that works there. Great food compensated for this times short falls.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bev99990Dined on 7/16/2014The presentation and flavours are hands down on a world class level. Keep up the great level of food quality and service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice SurpriseFoodie2014Dined on 7/15/2014The food was good, service was fast and friendly....a little pricey but we are worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved every bite!SatisfiedDined on 7/12/2014We were recommended to try Waterfront. We are all very selective foodies. Right from the minute we got there, we had great service. We started with a shared platter which had delicious spreads on it. They even gave us gluten free crackers. We then ordered our meals. I ordered the daily special which was one of the best meals I've had in a while. The other 3 people I was with felt the same about our meal. We then ordered desert (flour less hazelnut cake with espresso and chocolate ice cream) which was just delicious. Our server Kerry was great too. Definitely recommend!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great meal !SnottychefDined on 7/12/2014Attentive service, great food , love the decor. The shipping container kitchen kills me. Our server was very gracious in dealing with a couple of older table mates that made service challenging( well done , not sure about the menu , half portions, sharing, wobbly table, etc. ) handled it like a pro!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
