CLINKERDAGGER REVIEWS

Incredible restaurant experience!!! I proposed to my fiance. The manager, the host, the server all worked VERY hard to make it an INCREDIBLE experience! We got the best table in the restaurant. With an amazing view. The food was phenomenal. We had the tasting trio appetizer, lavender cosmo, the unveiling drink, i had the BC salmon with Shrimp, and my fiance had the Peppercorn salmon. Everything was delicious and fresh and piping hot! When i got my salmon i had to let it rest a moment because it was definitely freshly cooked and had just come from the pan. (I had it pan seared) our dessert was incredible we had the strawberry champagne cake. They put the ring on top of the cake delicately. The presentation was phenomenal they brought it out with a glass cover with smoke so when the glass was lifted the smoke dissipated showing the beautiful dessert with the ring! We will definitely be back! Time and time again!.

The baked brie appetizer was truly delicious!!! I also had an awesome ribeye steak dinner and finished with a creme brulee!! My friends had the sirloin and the scallops. They both enjoyed their meals. For the cost I did wish there were more than 3 asparagus. But I left full! We had an awesome table with a perfect view of the river! I always love going through the historic building to get there!.

One of the best meals I’ve had in years. Everything was delicious! The drinks were lovely, the ambience was unique, and the service was impeccable. Our server, Nathan, was such a delight. We couldn’t have been happier with the night. Will definitely come back!.

RUSTY MOOSE REVIEWS

The Rusty Moose was great. In town for a work trip and this is where we went for dinner since it is right next to our hotel hilton garden inn. I got the smoked prime rib, which was good but a little on the dry side. The drinks were phenomenal though. The bourbon maple cider was by far my favorite and the reserve was really good as well. Atmosphere is like hunting lodge decor. Service was great our server was friendly and knowledgeable and helped out if we had any questions. Overall great place and will visit again next time I'm in town!.

Stopped here on a whim not knowing what to expect. Friendly staff at the door and very accommodating. She listened to our needs and sat us at a great table. Waiter was attentive too. Food was one of the best meals I have had in a while. Good portions!.

The bison burger was excellent, as was the cole slaw. I also liked the loaded potato soup I had. The Rusty Moose Amber was excellent, and I enjoy the Rusty moose Golden Ale as well. Great service and atmosphere.

STEAM PLANT RESTAURANT & BREW PUB REVIEWS

Wow! I cannot say enough good things! Our server for the night was Dalton. He was prompt, friendly, and fast. He always was checking in at the perfect moments and didn’t let my water glass go empty. My group and I started my Bach weekend here and the food was fantastic. I loved their juicy thick burger. At the end of the meal, Dalton comped my entree for me which was just the sweetest. I know they definitely don’t need to do this and I wasnt expecting it but it made the night just that much more special. Great experience:).

I recommend that you discover the steam plant if you haven't done so already. It's such a unique and interesting building, and the food was amazing. We dined on short ribs over mashed potatoes as well as cajun pasta and both were outstanding!.

Amazing atmosphere, awesome setup, lots of history, unbelievable customer service and all of the food was cooked perfectly, plus service was extremely fast! Definitely a new favorite place!!!.
