The lovely K had clients in Salmon Arm, so we wanted to treat them to dinner locally, as they typically travel to Kelowna to have dinner with us.
The Nineteen05 is located on the lakefront in one of the nicest hotel in the area. The decor of the place is a reminder of classy days past with big windows overlooking the marshlands before the lake.
It's clean and bright, although the AC vents on the ceiling could certainly use a good clean as could the ceiling itself in those areas. It's one of my huge pet peeves as that air comes straight down onto the guests.
The service was quite attentive, maybe a little more than it needed to be when we were quite clear we were in no rush at all. The martinis were quite good in spite of the amount of Vermouth in them.
K ordered the rack of lamb, that didn't come as a rack and was warmish, as were the steamed vegetables. My 24 hour beef brisket tagliatelle as did my male counterpart. The pasta was well cooked, but I struggled to find much brisket at all in the dish. The vegetables in it just didn't seem to fit. The best meal visually and taste wise was the seafood salad that boasted plenty of seafood and a nice selection of salad.
The experience itself was good, but the food let the dinner down as did a ceiling (around the AC vents) that had me glad we weren't sitting underneath is. read more
