Tag Archives: server was really good

Browns Social House, Nanaimo

We had a few errands to do and Don said he would like to take me to lunch. So, as we are driving he says “we haven’t been here for a while” let’s go in.

We are met at the door by a lovely young lady and she asks us to follow her. This we do. When she stops to show us the table we get, Don starts to laugh. In all the visits to this restaurant, this is the same table. IĀ told her we should have our name on it. She thought this was pretty cool.

A very nice and pleasant young gentleman, Corbin, comes over and takes our beverage order and returns a few moments later and takes our lunch order.

I order the stuffed French toast and Don ordered the bacon Benny. Well, here comes the big surprise. people in all the tables/booths around us all stopped what they were doing to look at what I had ordered. I could not believe it. It was freaking HUGE. A lady and her daughter told us the next time they come here they will order it and share.

Don’s order was…..a little less impressive. The hollandaise sauce was almost not there, the bacon was way over done and the potatoes were huge pieces of over-cooked and dried out potatoes. He was not too pleased.

We ate what we could and I brought half of mine home for later. I suggested to Corbin that he should warn people about the size of the French toast and he just laughed and said it really was epic.

Church and State Winery, Brentwood Bay Area, B.C.

We drove here, on the spur of the moment, and were pleasantly delighted. It is serene on their balcony, overlooking the vineyard, and we ordered a light platter of cheese, meats, pickles etc. to share and I opted for a glass of their Pinot Gris and Mike, our server who resembles George Clooney, explained the differences of their wines to Kelly so she could make her choice.

She chose a sparkling Pinot Gris and, it was quite delightful. She got a bottle for her birthday (Monday).

It was most pleasant and, yes, we would do it again. It is fun to go with the flow sometimes and not have your excursion totally set in stone.
