So here's the view from our table at breakfast. Theres isn't a single seat in the place that doesn't have a similar one.
And as you would expect from any fine establishment, the benny is second to none! My wife wholeheartedly approves of this one they served her.
Our son went for the fruit cup, as he had basically filled up on banana bread from Fix when I went in for my morning coffee.
And I went for the traditional. The usual. The breakfast I order no matter where I go. And it was just as great as I expected it to be.
Later on we came back for dinner, and something that was apparent at breakfast crystallized: while the restaurant's menu is bordering on fine dining, the atmosphere is chill and the entire family can sit down without feeling like they're underdressed, or maybe too child-like. Here's Arlo with a mouthful of fish n chips.
I may enjoy the same breakfast again and again but I love an adventure come dinner. This pan roasted diver scallop dish with house cured giancale fennel puree, fennel pollen and citrus buerre blanc was exactly that.
My wife went for this crispy yarrow meadows duck with beluga lentils, roasted winter root vegetables and licorice scented reduction. Yum!
Before heading back up to our room for the night, we finished by sharing this lemon pot du creme along with some scoops of gelato and sorbetto.

Oh, and here's the segment I did on CKNW with Mike Eckford live from Nita Lake Lodge when we were up there:
Thanks again to Nita Lake Lodge for having us, and to Aura for such a wonderful eating experience.
