Moxie’s Restaurant – Kelowna, B.C.

Have you ever returned to a certain restaurant because:

 a) service is good

(b) food is good or

( c) both and more?

Of course you have. We did yesterday and returned to Moxie’s.http://www.moxies.ca/

 

It is so upbeat in decor and sparkles with cleanliness and the friendlly smiles that greet you at the door is always a treat.  We had an appointment to go to and told them of a time restraint and, believe me, we did not have to wait.

Trying to lose weight,  I opted for the salad and 1/2 turkey club sandwich.  I informed them about no onions and when it came, the server said it wasn’t onions but shallots…..I couldn’t eat the salad. The half sandwich was so large, I had to split it in two and eat it that way. WOW!

  Don had the soup. I believe it was Broccoli/Cheese and he ordered the Beef Dip.  He loved it.

The Manager, Christine, came over to the table and asked if we were enjoying our meal. When I mentioned, only in a light-hearted way about the shallots, she flew off to return with a new salad/dressing as  I was still protesting that it certainly wasn’t necessary. 

 THIS, by the way to Managers in the Food Industry, is what the ‘ best of what you do with your job’  is all about. NOT just because she replaced a small salad, but her friendliness, conversation, smiles and, talking about our Pandora bracelets helped. Just kidding…..

This was, AGAIN, a wonderful experience for lunch. Please give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Joey’s Only – Penticton, BC

It doesn ‘t matter how many times you visit a restaurant (especially when they don’t remember you) and you find consistency….you have to comment.  http://joeys.ca/location/britishcolumbia/penticton.html

We went to Joey’s Only yesterday for lunch.  The restaurant is always clean, Rita, our server, is always polite, friendly and observant. Dan, the owner, is always  cleaning tables, seating customers, chatting them up.  It almost has a “at home’ feeling.  Hard to find in any restaurant.

After checking over the menu….don’t we always? Don’t we always order the same thing?…of course. When you find perfection you don’t want to change it.

The food came out fast, piping hot and super delicious.  The batter on the fish is so light and crisp yet the fish is nice and moist.  The coleslaw is super (I love it because it doesn’t have onions in it).

Once again, consistentcy reigns supreme and we had a most enjoyable lunch.  Thanks Dan and Staff.

Note: When we first arrived there were only a few tables with customers, by the time we left…it was almost 100 per cent full.  Lesson to be learned…go just before Noon and you won’t have to wait….just sayin’
