We love Westwind RV & Golf! We come back here every time, usually twice a year. We're not snowbirds and though we enjoy all the Canadian visitors, our home base is California and we travel the states most of the year.
So, let's get to this review of their Cactus Cafe. Just to preface, there's new management at the resort (a different review) and a new chef and LOTS of new wait staff. Super exciting but here's my take:
1. The old wine selection...ugh! This year they have added beers and created some new cocktails, but please do something about the wine. Woodbridge is cool-aid. I called and asked if I could bring my own and inquired about a corkage fee (I'm okay with this) but manager's answer is "No" outside wine. No worries but, for goodness sake, please improve what you have to offer.
2. Fish & Chips Friday is so popular they start serving at 2pm, for a reason... the fish is fresh and delicious.
a. The new Chef's new fries (chips) are lovely if they are hot! If not, not so lovely.
b. Some folks like vinegar but lemon is my favorite on fish. The lemon "wedge" is so thin I can count the pulp.
c. The tartar sauce is so good and I want to dip every bite but the measly cup served doesn't even get me through 1 of the 3 generous pieces of delectable, beautiful fish. They were charging for more lemon and tartar but have since corrected that. Thank you and especially Breanna for passing along our suggestion.
d. The slaw REALLY, REALLY needs revisiting. Chef, you can do waaayyyy better IMO.
e. When I order soup and/or salad to go with a meal, please bring it first or, at least, please ask.
I love Yelp & use it all the time to find what I need. What I like most is the ability to give my honest opinion of a business but I always try to be constructive and hope they use this information to know they're doing great ... or perhaps... to improve.u read more
