Summer is almost here. Almost. Starting to crave for a lil' seafood? From June 5, 2011, Seafood Buffet will be available at Oru Restaurant @ Fairmont Pacific Rim every Sunday evening. Menu includes Shucked Oysters, BC Smoked Salmon Platter, Seafood Paella, Golden BC Honey Mussels, Daily Fish Station, and much more.

I won't say it is cheap, but definitely a worth-while date with your important ones, or a BFF get together.
