Masthead Restaurant, Cowichan Bay, BC

The other night a few seniors went with Janey (Janey’s Got a Bus) to the Masthead Restaurant.

Wow…this is one fine dining establishment. It is over-looking the water, so, so elegant on the inside and comfortable in ambience.

Our server tonight was Tara and her partner, Mark, was the bartender. Tara is so attentive, but quietly so. She took our drink order, the dinner order and answered everyone’s questions.

Dinner was super. Don had the steelhead Trout dinner, two of us had a bowl of mushroom soup (absolutely THE best mushroom soup from any restaurant I have ever been in) and the warm beet salad. This was delightful. Beautiful in presentation and just enough so you could eat it all. One lady ordered the Fish  and Chips and said it was the best she had ever eaten. The last meal ordered was the evening special. Braised Beef ribs, vegetables, gravy. Trust me.

All meals were well prepared, presented and enjoyed by all.

But we are not yet done. One dessert ordered was a Pumpkin Cheese Cake and Don and I shared the Vanilla Creme Brulee.  Again, if they would let us lick the plate, we probably would have.

This restaurant was new to us but it was so enjoyable. They do know what they are doing.

Exalte Le Salon, Edmonton, Alberta

When we were in Edmonton for a family wedding, I had a hair appointment at this Salon.
https://www.google.ca/search?q=Exalte+Le+Salon%2C+Edmonton%2C+Alberta

Every Beauty Salon should read this and pay attention. The cost for a wash and blow dry was only $31.50 BUT with that you get:

1. they ask if you would like a head massage – take it! It is fabulous.

2. A young lady comes over and (after asking if you want this) a hand masssage. All the while,  your hairdresser is working on your hair.

3.  When finished, your hairdresser asks if you would like a neck/shoulder massage – again , take it!

These little extras do two things.

1. A happier, very relaxed  customer

2. Larger gratuity

Oh, I forgot, they also offer coffee, water, juice.

If I lived i n Edmonton, they would have a regular customer in me. I found them to be amazing artists, charming shop and the neatest French accents around.
