Birthday at the Cactus Club

This weekend was my husband’s birthday. His two daughters came over from the mainland to help celebrate the event, along with Kelly and myself.

As always, a very special greeting from Kaitlyn when we arrived. Just love this young lady. The new manager, Austin is now in full swing and he came over to introduce himself. After chatting for a few minutes he was off and the whole table said “we like him”. This young man had some big shoes to fill when Logan was promoted away from here, but he is doing exceptionally well.

Our  server, Samantha was awesome. Every time  she came to the table, she said Happy Birthday to Don. We told her if they sang Happy Birthday they had to do it a few times.

Again, the Cactus is always consistent with their food and their staff. Thank you. It was a fun time as always.

Black Bird Schnitzel House, Qualicum Beach

I never knew being an ‘oldie’ could be so much fun. Last night, eleven of us jumped aboard Janie’s Gotta a Bus, and went on up to Qualicum Beach to try this restaurant.

Our server came to the table and took everyone’s drink order and, because they were busy with only two staff on the floor, it took a few minutes, then out the drinks came.

Our orders for dinner were taken. Everyone, but me,  ordered one of the schnitzel dinners (they have a really long list to choose from) and I ordered the Coast Spaetzle (prawns, shrimp and scallops on spaetzle in a white wine sauce.) In a word OMG, it was delicious.  Don ordered the Shepherd Schnitzel. He also enjoyed his meal.

Two ladies ordered dessert and cleaned their plates. it looked delicious but we had no more room.

If you get the chance this year, seek it out. I’m sure you will enjoy it all. I don’t recall our server’s name, but she was very pleasant. This is the only true German Schnitzel restaurant around this part of the Island.

We will return for sure.
