Alert! Delicious donuts coming your way!…read more Check out the likes of these babies. My lovely friend and coworker Angie at Black Dog Ranch (check out her account for adorable dog photos) has a beautiful ranch south of the city and she led me to these donuts that are the talk of Black Diamond. Naturally I had to get my hands on some. Rules for ordering your Westwood Donuts: 1 They change up their flavours every week, so if a round appeals to you, jump on it! 2 You have to place your order on Wednesday before they sell out. Don't press the snooze on this. 3 There's only a short window on Saturday for pick-up (12-3PM on Saturdays). Once you've completed the steps above, you're on your way to donut heaven. RATING: 9/10 - Westwood: Donuts The dough is everything you want it to be--soft, fluffy and fresh. It makes a great base for the various donut creations. I had the pleasure of trying these flavours: Chocolate Fudge Filled: With rich chocolate custard and coated in cinnamon sugar. You can't go wrong here. Banana Cream Pie: This tasted exactly like it sounds. Fragrant banana custard with whip and bananas on top. If you did a blind taste test, it would be hard to differentiate this from the real pie. Nerds Glaze: Imagine a blue raspberry starburst. This one was sweet, tropical and sour. Lemon Glaze: Pound cake in donut form. I adored the natural lemon flavour! The Banana Cream Pie stole my heart, but they were all worth writing home about. I can't wait to have an excuse to try these glorious donuts again and check out Westwood's food and patio. Black Diamond here I come!

Tonight we visited a local restaurant that we've supported several times in the past, hoping to…read moregive it another chance despite previously poor service. Unfortunately, this was our worst experience yet. My fiancé ordered a lobster tail, and I ordered a buffalo chicken Caesar wrap. We waited a long time for our meals, and when they finally arrived, the lobster tail was severely overcooked and extremely difficult to cut. For my wrap, things were even worse. When I started eating the second half, I took a bite and immediately felt something so hard that I thought I had broken a tooth. When I spit it out, I discovered it was a small rock buried in the middle of the wrap. We informed the waitress, who apologized and said she would call the manager and remove the wrap from our bill, but no explanation or concern was offered about how a rock ended up in the food. We've tried to support this local establishment multiple times, but between the consistently poor service and now a foreign object in the food, we can't justify returning. Extremely disappointing experience.

Food was just okay it's Denny's for crying out loud you get the same food no matter which one you go to in Canada or the USA. We ordered from the seniors menu where we had a chose of two meals 55+club with fries or Grilled Cheese and soup. Service was just okay nothing over the top. Our food came out quick enough. I wouldn't say it was hot it was just warm. The grill cheese was cold and hardly any toast to the bread the soup was good. The club sandwiches the turkey or chicken I haven't figured it out was watery like it was frozen and then put on the sandwich. Barf. In passing to another table our server asked us how our meal was with not even stopping as if to say I really don't care about your answer anyways, so I'm not stopping to find out. Wow that's a franchise for you. The only thing they did do is clear off or table quick after we finished eating. Felt like okay you ate your food pay your bill now get out. -Parking is limited -restaurant clean -washroom clean Will we be returning that's a BIG NO. That's a one and done for us.
