Cactus Club Restaurant-Abbotsford, BC

While back in Abbotsford this week, we took my dicdt guru and friend of Don and myself to the brand spanking new Cactus Club.http://www.cactusclubcafe.com/tag/abbotsford/

 They have one of the best establishments in the country and everytime we go to one of them, it is super clean, consistant in quality and taste of foods offered. The servers are young, slim and very attractive and very good at their jobs. 

Bill ordered the 3 sliders and seemed to enjoy every mouthful. It was enough for him for lunch (doesn’t eat much – boo).  Don ordered the Jambalaya Rice Bowl and ate all his up. He liked the flavours.  I ordered the 3 butternut squash with Shrimp ravioli with toasted pine nuts and a sauce to absolutely die for. The shrimp were large and cooked to perfection.  It was enough, believe me. Our server commented that there was a larger order of 7 – couldn’t do that one. 

If you thought we were done, guess again.  Dessert: a dessert with 3 forks (of course).  It contained a white chocolate cheesecake with a tart raspberry sauce.  The darn thing was a mile high and sooooooo yummy! 

If you ever get the chance, don ‘t pass them by. Also thanks to Jaime. our server.

The Keg – Abbotsford, BC

We took our friends (and hosts) for this visit to the Keg.  http://www.kegsteakhouse.com/en/locations/BC/abbotsford/abbotsford-keg/What can one say? It is perfect in food and service. The night we were there, there was a large table with all men sitting at it. They were loud and the language was not suitable for the establishment. A few F-bombs came out.  The servers never said anything. Has this become the norm? I hope not.

 I digress…..Our friends ordered a shrimp and crab topping on a sirloin steak.  It was absolutely mouth-watering delicious. It came with red peppers and asparagus veggies.

Don ordered the Prime Rib (as always) it came with a baked potato, deep fried onions and he didn’t leave a thing on his plate. Whew!

I ordered (as always) the Filet Mignon steak with baked potato and red peppers/asparagus veggies. This has to be the best thing on the planet.

 We started with a Chocolate Martini (me), Ruby Sunset Martini (Sharon), Rusty Nail (Gary) and our DD  stayed the course.

 Room for dessert? Nope, but we did have room for a Blueberry Tea, B52 Coffee and a Scotch on the Rocks. Was it good? Beyond…would we go back? Absolutely! They have a great location and reputation. Don’t miss it.
