Marble Slabbin!
Grabbed one of these on the way home from Kamloops. Cheesecake Ice cream with walnuts, graham crackers and strawberries on top! Their fruits are always so fresh..
Nandos Chicken!
Our comfort food. This stuff is SO filling. I wasn't able to finish half my dinner that night. Nando's keeps you full for hours.
Half Chicken, hot. So good. I don't eat it cause its hot, but when I order it myself, it is GOOOOD. AND for 12 bucks, everything tastes better.
My favorite part, the Peri Rice. MMM MM GOOD. We ordered a large on the side.
I usually always get this. The double kebab with one sideline $10. I usually get the peri fries though.

Dessert at Milestones
Since the cheesecake we ate here was so good, we came back for the Dessert Shots which are also new on the menu for $11.
This DID NOT look like it did in the picture. One of them isn't even full! 3 of them were basically ice cream and oreo and it seemed like our server left it sitting before bringing it over cause everything was melted half way. I did finish every single one though.... hehe

Brownstone
Apparently, this is one of the best fine dining restaurants in Kamloops. We wanted to try the best here since we weren't going to be there for long.
Duck 2 Ways $27. Braised and Confit. The braised was really good and the confit was kinda salty. I wouldn't order this again. It came with these flour balls which were so addicting! If I come back, I'd probably order I side of that stuff.
Venison $32. Not worth the money but still good! Loved the tomato risotto. I'm gonna try making this at home! The sauce was good, but the venison was a little tough. Nothing special.
White Chocolate Panna Cotta with a Cranberry Gelee. The panna cotta part was nice and creamy. I had never had anything like this before and the texture was quite interesting. To me, it tastes like a yogurt flan without the caramel aftertaste. The gelee however had a funny, sanded texture which I didn't like.
Goat's Cheesecake with Lemon Sabayon and Hazelnut Paraline. The best dessert ever! You can really taste the difference between goat cheese and regular cheesecake. The lemon is VERY tart but compliments the cheesecake if you eat it in small portions. The hazel paraline adds a very nice crunch and nuttyness to the dish. I liked the nice and simple plating.
I ordered a couple scoops of Ice Cream on the side and it costed me a whooping $6! What the HECK.. It was delicious though. I'm guessing the reason for the price was that it was made in-house. It better be for $6!
I would probably not come back here just because I really don't think it is worth the money. It was a nice place to eat and the service was great but my dollar is worth more elsewhere.
This place used to be a bank back in the day. They kept the bank feel to it on the outside but on the inside, it looks like this. The red really sets the mooood.
Dungeonous Crab Cakes $12. The best thing of the night. This was amazing. All crab, no extra fillers. The sauce was also amazing. It had a citrus taste to it and the spinach and shallots weren't a bad addition either!Duck 2 Ways $27. Braised and Confit. The braised was really good and the confit was kinda salty.

Milestones!
I've only been here once in my whole life and that was when I was a kid. I was really surprised that I wanted basically everything on the menu! And if my stomach could fit it, I would've.. seriously. They have such a good selection! In my eyes, anyways.
Roasted Garlic Caesar. This came with both our meals and they are HUGE! If you're a big fan of garlic, don't forget to order this next time. It's really creamy with a very strong taste of garlic. I'm not a big fan of garlic but still found this good. Yep, I ate it all.
I was really feeling steak that night over everything else
so I went for the Top Sirloin with Crab and Shrimp $28. I always gotta have
shrimp one way or the other. It came out just the right size to fit all into my
belly. I was starving. Everything was just the way I liked it, cooked exactly
medium rare, the mash potatoes were nice and chunky and just the right amount
of shrimp and crab so that almost every bite of steak would be followed by
either one. My favorite part was the
sauce. OH how amazing it was… There was literally NO sauce left by the time I was
done. Not only did it compliment the steak, but it did everything else too. I
will absolutely come back for this… after I’m done trying everything else on
the menu first of course.
T ordered the Slow Roasted AAA Prime Rib $23. This was HUGE.
If I had ordered this, I would've probably left half of it on the plate. This
one was a different story for me.. Yes, it was tender but it didn't really have
much flavor. You’re supposed to eat it with their house made horseradish but I can’t
eat that stuff!! I thought it was a really good deal for that big of a steak! I would've ordered it with a black peppercorn or something.
We finished off our meal with a new addition on their menu, the Decadent Duo $11. A White Chocolate Cheesecake beside a Pecan Pie. Aside from the fact that they were super sweet, these were freaking good. My side of Ice Cream $3 sorta evened out the sweetness.. kinda. I liked the Cheesecake the most. This is a really good deal if you like sharing since the cheesecake alone is $8.
Price:
Exceptional. You get huge portions for what you are paying.
