As many of you know, the end for one of my/your favourite restaurants, Boneta, is nigh. Here’s a note – received while I was on the road a few days back – from co-owner Neil Ingram:

Well friends, the last days of the old Boneta are finally upon us. High hopes, false starts and a furious sense of optimism aside, Aug 20th will be the swansong for 1 W Cordova.

Four years have flown by with your fine company and cheer, so please come down and join us for a last dinner, drink and whirl under the mirrors. We couldn’t have done it without you: well, obviously, but you know what we mean. A piece of Vancouver history had a great last hurrah. Thanks.

Boneta will be back in early September, glittering between Blood Alley and a sky-strewn atrium in the Water Street Garage courtyard.

Our new home is a reflection, refinement and celebration of what we love and believe in, we hope it will become your new home too. Let’s keep our last, best neighborhood just that.

Boneta loves you xoxo

Scout readers can expect a thorough preview of the new digs shortly.
