I went with a friend to lunch at this new restaurant in town. From the topiaries at the front and the hostess opening the door to welcome the guests, we had a great time!
The restaurant is big and tastefully decorated with several TVs, a great sound system with music and a Sports Bar in the center. On the day I was there, the place was full of people laughing and enjoying lunch.
The menu has a lot of fresh food dishes and I was especially pleased to have a choice of very healthy items to choose from. I had chicken with braised cabbage & feta instead rice with my lunch.
The service was excellent as well.
My prediction is this place will be around and popular for a long time. I know it will be a favorite for me.

Right in the middle of town on
102nd Ave is the Hug-A-Mug coffee shop and it has a couple of tables
outside. I met my friend there the
other day and really enjoyed just sitting in the sun enjoying my favorite
specialty coffee.
There was a constant stream of
people passing by consisting of both locals and visitors. It was great to say hello, have a few
mini visits.
The Hug a Mug is less than ½ a
block away from the Mile O Post that sits in the middle of the main
intersection so we had a great view of the visitors who were jaywalking over to
have their pictures taken.
The Mile O Post is one of the
most recognized and photographed monuments in Canada. We noticed how patient the motorists are with the people
jaywalking to get to the post and also saw a local offer to take the photo so
that both visitors could get in on it. It reaffirmed what a friendly community we have.
Hug a Mug is a popular spot for
lunch. Laurie and her staff are
really friendly and make great food.
