White Spot, Penticton, B.C.

Yesterday was our big day what with a chiropractic visit, hair appointments, grocery shopping and then lunch,so  we stopped in at the White Spot.

Our server, Shandi, has such a way to meet you, one would think she actually knew you. While Don was parking the car, I ordered our beverages and Shandi pops  up and says, with the biggest smile,” wow, it has been forever since I last saw you.”

“…now, because I review restaurants, I thought, maybe she remembered me.This is a laugh on me and I checked back (Feb 2013) and she wasn’t our server. Kudos to Shandi, what a greeting!

I ordered my absolute normal must have…a Monty Mushroom Cheeseburger with and, as Shandi and I totally agreed, it was Friday, therefore, fries should also be there. HAHA

Don ordered the Steakhouse Burger and he devoured it as well. It was delicious. Yes, he had the “because it’s Friday, fries.

Shandi would breeze by and ask how it was, and then have a funny comment and a big smile…and then she was off. This lady is a true asset to the Nat Bailey organization. The food….always.

I have mentioned before, and even praised some mushroom burgers to the moon, BUT, and this is so true, they still have THE best one            E-V-E=R.

When in Penticton, and you want a great burger, stop in. You won’t be disappointed.

Cactus Club, Kelowna

After an exhausting afternoon of shopping and walking around a very large mall, we relaxed for a couple of hours in our hotel room and then went to the Cactus Club for dinner.

Now before you think I am weird, I’m not, only observant but the management of the Cactus Club really know what they are doing when hiring their staff.  http://www.cactusclubcafe.com/menus/ The girls are beautiful – not just looks but in decorum, knowledge of the products they are showcasing and just plain nice and the way they dress.  They must have a staff of about 50 girls (it seems like it) and maybe 2 guys. Anyway….

We wanted to eat on the patio and were told it was full so we sat at the bar and ordered a drink while waiting.  This time,  we were just celebrating the two of us.  I ordered a chocolate martini;  Don had his beer and a few moments later a table became empty and we were escorted ouside.

It was lovely, albeit a tad noisy from traffic. A water feature would eradicate that. Our server, Hannah was totally on top of it all…patient while we tried to decide what we wanted, checking back to see that all was what we wanted it to be and attentive when we were done.

Don ordered a Thai red curry Pacific Ling cod with coconut almond rice, crispy wontons and micro cilantro.

I ordered the Butternut and mascarpone ravioli with sauteed jumbo prawns, truffle sauce and toasted pine nuts. After we moaned our way to the end and sat and debated who had the best dinner. Of course I did. It was beyond great. I could have licked my plate….but I refrained. Don loved his dinner as well and ate it all.
Okay, now you would think we had enough to eat but nooooooo! We shared a Key lime pie…I thought we were going to explode. Coffee and we were done.

You really must come to Kelowna and visit the Cactus Club. I promise you it is worth it.
