Salty’s Restaurant-Penticton, B.C.

We were on our way to Penticton yesterday and were discussing the men’s golf weekend that happens in June. The men were looking for a new restaurant to go to for their “award” dinner. We mentioned Salty’s (check previous blog) and wondered if they could accommodate such a crew. http://www.saltysbeachhouse.com/. After checking out the facilities, we sat down and ordered lunch. Don ordered a scallop remolade that was so creamy and luscious. Wow! The naan bread was hot, buttery and as light as a downy feather. It really was a super companion to  the scallop dish. I ordered the 1 piece fish and chips. First of all, the fish filled the plate (had to be placed at an angle to fit, and fries that were the best I have ever eaten. Thinly cut and cooked to perfection. The only thing I found strange was a spicy-hot coleslaw that tasted only of onion. PLEASE!  Coleslaw shouldn’t be spicy nor should you taste only onions.

Our server, Katie, was a delight. We watched her take orders from 4 different tables and never wrote a thing down.She is tops!

Great place to stop and eat. And yes, the boys will be there for their big weekend of golf, all 16 of them.

Milestone’s Restaurant – Kelowna, BC

A visit to Kelowna resulted, of course,  in lunch. Where else to go? Milestone’s is a great choice.http://www.milestonesrestaurants.com/

Don ordered the Prime Rib Beef Dip with deep fried onions and the Au Jus made his eyes roll in delight. They used thyme and rosemary for the herbs. He said it was beyond belief it was so good. In fact, and this is true, he wiped up the rest of the gravy with his curly fries.

I ordered a new sandwich they have on the menu…a Chicken Parmesan Panini roll with yam fries (frites seems to be the ‘new’ word here). The chicken was soooooo tender and the tomato/ mozzarella melted cheese was positively perfect. Not overpowering at all. It also had julienned basil.  The fries were great but the Chipotle sauce was a bit too spicy for me. It would be nice if, and I hope other restaurants pay attention, a side of mayo was added to the plate. (same size as the Chipotle). The rolls was soft and fresh and made it yummy. 

I hope this one’s a keeper because I would certainly order it again, and again, and again.

We had a long drive home so we only had coffee and a soda with lime wedge.  Our server, Sandy, was quick, pleasant and fast on her feet. This place was packed and she never once lost her smile for the customers. Milestone’s has a way with getting the better personalities to work the floor.

Price here was $$

Great place, Great Food and the servers are awsome.
