Executive Hotel LeSoleil, Vancouver, B.C.

WOW! We went with friends to see the Il Divo Concert which was beyond anything you could possibly imagine. They are better than ever; this was my 4th concert with them and it was the best.

We wanted to stay in Vancouver and make a mini vacation and stayed here.  http://www.hotels.com/ho143063/executive-hotel-le-soleil-vancouver-canada/?gclid=CJPDmMf_vLECFSUbQgodIk0AYg   What a beautiful Hotel. The rooms are spacious, kingsize beds, decor is gold and white and lovely. The bed is just perfect…no sore back here….

The staff were so friendly and helpful. Valet parking, of course, but always with a smile. We wanted to go over to the Lonsdale Quay (a favourite place of my parents) and have lunch and  do some shopping before ending our time together with our friends. They allowed us to leave our vehicles and luggage with them until we were finished.

What a lovely time we had. Would we return? You must be kidding…of course we would.

Moxie’s Restaurant – Kelowna, B.C.

Have you ever returned to a certain restaurant because:

 a) service is good

(b) food is good or

( c) both and more?

Of course you have. We did yesterday and returned to Moxie’s.http://www.moxies.ca/

 

It is so upbeat in decor and sparkles with cleanliness and the friendlly smiles that greet you at the door is always a treat.  We had an appointment to go to and told them of a time restraint and, believe me, we did not have to wait.

Trying to lose weight,  I opted for the salad and 1/2 turkey club sandwich.  I informed them about no onions and when it came, the server said it wasn’t onions but shallots…..I couldn’t eat the salad. The half sandwich was so large, I had to split it in two and eat it that way. WOW!

  Don had the soup. I believe it was Broccoli/Cheese and he ordered the Beef Dip.  He loved it.

The Manager, Christine, came over to the table and asked if we were enjoying our meal. When I mentioned, only in a light-hearted way about the shallots, she flew off to return with a new salad/dressing as  I was still protesting that it certainly wasn’t necessary. 

 THIS, by the way to Managers in the Food Industry, is what the ‘ best of what you do with your job’  is all about. NOT just because she replaced a small salad, but her friendliness, conversation, smiles and, talking about our Pandora bracelets helped. Just kidding…..

This was, AGAIN, a wonderful experience for lunch. Please give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!
