Original Joe’s Nanaimo Restaurant

Yesterday, after last minute few groceries to pick up, I treated my husband to a ‘light’ lunch. Don chose Original Joe’s and it was busy. We were seated outside on their closed in, heaters on patio and it was very cozy.

We were delighted to have Jaden for our server. Perfect smile, paying attention to what her clients were saying and was actually interested.

We ordered our usual beverages and decided to share a Fish and Chip order.

Wow, it was delicious, hot and more than enough for the two of us.

When I was paying the small bill, I gave Jaden my card for my recipe site and I hope she will try it. Great day, super server. Thank you.

Cactus Club, Nanaimo

I know you probably know what we like about this establishment, but their biggest Ambassador is their Manager, Logan. He is their greatest asset and I hope they keep him here.

Last night, rainy as ever, the restaurant was full and a line up at the front door. When you look around at the various tables, there was only 1 (lone lady) who was on her device. No one at any of the tables we could see had one out. All were busy laughing and talking. We haven’t see this for ages.

Our server, Jolene was exceptionally on point with smiles, assistance and even patience. One at our table (Kelly) always has a problem deciding what to order. We ordered our drinks and just chatted away.

The menu has some new steaks and Don had one. I, as always, had my Ravioli and shrimp dish. This place serves up the best steaks and shrimp in this city. Kelly had the Tuna Poke Bowl.

They are consistent always in service, staff and food. Please keep them here. I just wish it was a little more south. All the good stuff is in the north Nanaimo….just sayin’.
