Joey’s Only, Penticton, B.C.

We haven’t been here for awhile, but we both had a craving for some REAL Fish and Chips and, yes, we do know where to go for this. http://joeys.ca/index.html

 

When we arrived,  it was quite busy and it is fun, when Dan (owner) looks at you and isn’t sure who you are, but seats you with the same friendly, warm flair they offer here.

Our server, (looked new to us) was very good, brought our food quickly and throughout, was  attentive seeing that we were  enjoying the food, more coffee needed or did we need anything?

We wanted to split our order as it is always ample, but added an extra piece of fish. Sooooooo worth it! The batter is so light, crisp on the outside, moist on the inside and I love their coleslaw.

When we were leaving and I was using the machine to pay, I added the tip and it went through. Then, and here is why we love Dan so much, honesty to the core. He looked up at me and asked if I really meant to have that kind of a tip? When I looked at the receipt it showed approximatly 125 percent more than I thought I had pressed. He gave me back the difference and we were on our way. By the way, he did a double take on my name and goes “oh yeah”….love it!

Love this restaurant, the owner, staff and of course, the food. Price $$

Terrafina Restaurant-Hester Creek Winery

After picking my daughter up at the airport in Penticton,we headed out. I had made reservations at the Terrafina Restaurant for brunch. http://www.terrafinarestaurant.com/ What a wonderful, delightful way to spend time together.

We were given a menu that was so unique, it was hard to make a decision. I made my mind up but the other two picked, poked, sampled and then, FINALLY made their decision.

Kelly and I started wth the Mimosa (freshly squeezed orange juice and sparkling wine). I ordered the Pear stuffed French Toast. It had mascarpone cheese, cinnamon, thyme, maple syrup drizzled over and sprinkled with toasted almonds. I have to say it was addictive. I couldn’t stop. It was soooo good.

Kelly and Don shared two items…the Antipasto Platter. This consisted of cured meats (variety of 4 kinds), roasted vegetables, hand crafted cheese, bowl of cremona mustard with warm focaccio bread.

The second item they shared was the Breakfast Pizza. This was different, it had farm eggs, smoked tomato, onion, pancetta bruschetta. cheddar cheese and bacon jam. It was the jam that they went gaga over. The Chef, Natasha, was the one who made this one up. Kelly, in fact, went back and bought a jar to take home with her.

This was fabulous fare…..priced well and good value for the above items. When we were ready to leave, they brought a bowl of Tiramasu and three truffles. It was yummy. So good. Yes, we shared.

It is a shame it wasn’t better attended by the locals and their visitors. I hope more go. You won’t be disappointed.
