which meet your requirements of simple but good, etc but it would be helpful to know what you don't like and what you get in NYC and SF that you don't need to get elsewhere

Even though you can duplicate the experience in NYC, Vancouver has great Japanese, Chinese, Southeast Asian and Indian restaurants. Tojo's for instance has killer sashimi
One of the best restaurants I've eaten in anywhere is C Restaurant on Howe Street. I had a wild slow roasted salmon main that still brings tears of joy to my eyes.
I don't remember exactly where these places are, but I ate at Sun Sui Wah (dim sum - probably does seafood in the evening) and Elixir, an upscale restaurant in a hotel in Yaletown. Everything I ate in Vancouver was excellent, and I especially remember delicious Indian food, but unfortunately I can't remember what restaurant that was. You might want to check out Beyond Robson, which is a blog about non-touristy stuff in Vancouver.
