Best spot in Vancouver IMO. It's funny, I hadn't really checked out a lot of Gastown until earlier this year (Despite being here for 4 years now)... but man there's a lot of great little joints in that part of town. It's honestly one of those places where you can walk down the street, walk into a random place... and chances are you've done well (although there are some crappy spots.. but that's like anywhere).
If you're going to go expensive there a bunch of places in Yaletown that fit the bill. Goldfish is pretty good (although I'm biased because I bartended there awhile ago... gotta pay off that student debt). Salt was alright too. A Kettle of Fish (it's on Pacific and Burrard I think..) was always a fav of mine.
As for Las Margaritas...meh. One of my ex-GF's worked there as a hostess and told me horror stories about some of the stuff that happened in the kitchen there RE: Food. Somebody mentioned Donna Cato's earlier for Mexican... food is much better there.
Moral of the story, go to gastown.
