| - Whitespot always hitting the rightspot!!!
I'm a little hesitant to write this review as I do not like reviewing restaurant chains catering for the undescriminating masses. Offering large portions of tasteless and bland food, served by equally tasteless and bland tatooed servers.
Whitespot has always been different I suppose, because I discovered it years ago while living in BC. It's always been the place I tend to gravitate towards, on those weekends when I'm travelling through a town at the wrong time of the day, trying to find a half decent place to eat.
Of course all the pretentious restaurants are closed on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, and no self respecting restaurant wants customers to be walking in at 3pm demanding a half decent meal for dinner or brunch. So our recent experience at the location (what else does one call it?) just off Barlow yielded predictable results.
An absolutely pleasant and no nonsense culinary experience. Good service, prompt attention and tasty food. My wife always orders the Butter Chicken served with jasmine rice and naan bread. Something I would never dream of eating outside a geniune Indian establishment, and I ordered a Tuscan Chicken Pasta salad which I would take chances trying in non Italian restaurants.
Verdict on both counts; great, great, great. They promote themselves as Fresh Thinking and Fresh Cooking, with fresh flavours, and generally live up to the promise and hype. I had a glass of Gabbiano Pinot Grigio with my salad and it complimented the food perfectly. So what can I say?
Go there and try their food. Even if it is not on a Sunday afternoon. You wont be disappointed.
