White Spot #161 Nanaimo, B.C.

On Friday afternoon, my husband wanted to take me out  for a lunch date and he decided on the White Spot. We hadn’t been there since we arrived here and so  away we went. The restaurant is very large, very clean and we were seated right away.

I never have to look at the menu when I come here and anyone who knows me, knows what I order. Don, on the other hand, always looks and tries something different every time. I ordered a Tin Horn Creek Gewurztraminer and Don ordered his V. Caesar. The drinks arrive and we ordered our meal. Don ordered the 1/2 rack baby back ribs and I ordered a Monty Mushroom with extra sauce and could hardly wait for it to arrive.

The wine was delightful. Coming from the Okanagan and belonging to the Crush Club of Tin Horn Creek it was perfect anf properly chilled, and Don said his drink was really nice and not too spicy. The food now arrives and looks yummy. The ribs Don ordered literally fell off the bone. I tried one and it was very tasty. My burger came but something was amiss….didn’t know until I was checking the bill when we got home.

Kayla our server didn’t hear me say extra sauce please and it came with NO sauce whatsoever. I don’t know how she misheard that but anyway, it was  good just not perfection.

Never mind, we will try it again. Next to another restaurant in town, this is still in the top two.

Classic Home Improvements

We, have ,as you may know by now, moved to Nanaimo to a lovely condo. It needed a few tweeks to make it OUR home and we certainly needed to replace the bath tub with a shower.

This was not an easy job as the floor was  1 1/2 inches out of level. Now this becomes a different bit of work. The company, referred to us through The Home Depot, was Classic Home Improvements. The young man who came out to see us (Darren Cavan) was so prompt, never even twinged when we traded vanities for one that made sense for two people, or added tile where no one would ever think of putting tile.

Dave was the fellow who really had his work cut out for him and did a wonderful job. A young painter, Brooke by name, came out and touch up the paint where it was needed.

Poor fellow comes in the morning, lays out the tarps hauls in his tools and whatever else is needed, then at close of day, vacuums up the dust, etc. packs up his tools and tarps and leaves only to return the next day to carry on.

All you have to do, when needing great work done in a quick and very professional manner is to (a) call Classic Home Improvements, ask for Darren and (b) make muffins or cookies and everyone is happy.

We show off our home now to everyone who visits and everyone loves it, especially the work that has been done.
