Cactus Club Staff, Nanaimo

I have been reviewing Restaurants and Hotels for many, many years now and usually mention the server of the day. It is time to really acknowledge how great Management has been in their selection of hiring personnel in the Cactus Club.

The number one Manager we have met, and chatted with on many occasions is Logan. This young man is on top of everything and he always does it with a sincere smile and honest approach. His greatest asset is he listen to what you have to say and will take appropriate action if necessary. He truly is incredible. when you go, simply say Hi and you will see for yourself.

Our server was Tara and, again, they know how to hire their people. She was polite, quick to observe and a nice smile and demeanor. She did not leave any of her tables without prompt attention. We watched and I can verify that.

The staff are all in black (to be uniform) but it varies in length, side splits, and slacks but always very presentable. If you watch them as they scurry around a crowded room, they have a smile on their faces and not one that is fakely pasted on.

This is another reason we love the Cactus Club as well as their consistently prepared food.

The only thing to remember is to make a reservation before you go. Just sayin’.

Delicado’s, Old City Quarter

While we were out and about, Don says let’s go see the older part of Nanaimo. We have been here about 18 months and have never been here so off we go.

It is enchanting to say the least…lots of little restaurants and shops that you have probably never heard of, but so quirky and interesting.

We decided to try the restaurant called ‘Delicado’s’. Very small but oh, my, talk about busy. You go inside and read the menu board, look in the salad cooler and place your order. Wait a very short time and then you can either eat inside or outside  onto their patio (which we did). It is lively, lots of fun and with really awesome staff as well.

If  you know what you want, you can phone your order in and then just go pick it up. You have the choice also if you wish to take their salsa or chipotle sauces in larger containers to take home. The prices are not expensive.

I had a wrap called the California because it was 1 of 2 items that did not have onions. It is  a flour tortilla filled (really filled) with chicken, mexi cheese, tomato, avocado and sunflower sprouts. I asked for no ‘heat’. It was delicious.

Don ordered a Chicken Toastada and ate every bit of it. Southwest rice and beans topped with chicken and cheese. His level of heat was a 3 but said he could have gone another level.

It is a delight to find and, yes, we definitely will return. Love the vibe. Now off to see more shops. Great day!
