Mine were both good and the plates of fellow diners around me looked really good too. Local folks or visitors to Trail, this place is worth a try-- you won't be sorry you stopped in.

The Grilled Rueben was a little different from the traditional with grilled onions in placed of 1000 Island dressing. This added an interesting touch.

It has a great theme with the wooden spoons everywhere, cool old tin panels in the ceiling as well as the burlap bags. You order at the counter, pay and get your numbered wooden spoons which you place in a glass milk carton at the table you choose while awaiting your food. There is plenty of brick inside the restaurant which is always something I like. The woman who took or order said that the owner had bought the place behind them and they were blowing out the wall in between the two establishments so the kitchen can service two places. Sounds good right? The problem we had was that the breakfasts we got were not hot, I mean barely warm. My sunny up eggs were barely done, still alot of clear in the whites. My two halves of toast were put together, butter to butter. The second pieces together for my entire meal I was going to put marmalade on after I had finished all but them. The butter had not even melted into the toast, it was still whole butter. Everything tasted quite good, but it has to be hot. We would certainly return, but it fell just short of the mark. Too bad!

I got here on a Sunday night and am currently staying at The Josie Hotel for 3 days. I was so…read moreimpressed with the quality of my dinner, I've been eating here for every meal. I know there are other restaurants in Rossland but having a fantastic restaurant literally 1 minute from your room makes life a lot easier. So far I've eaten 2 dinners and 1 breakfast meal here. I plan on eating at least 2 more meals here before I leave to go back to the United States. The first night, I had the roast beef special of the day, which was described to me as sliced roast beef with gravy by the bartender Savannah. She was fantastic, very friendly and welcoming. Upon receiving it, I realized it was prime rib, which made me more excited. It was served with brown gravy, broccolini, and carrots. The gravy was superb and added just the right saltiness to the prime rib. It was a nice cut with plenty of meat and a small amount of fat. The broccolini and carrots were cooked to the perfect tenderness. I did order a mocktail, the Ruby Fizz, because I wanted a tart drink. Grapefruit and lemon were the primary flavors and it was magnificently refreshing. The next morning, I opted for the more expensive breakfast buffet, which includes eggs, potatoes, sausage, pancakes, and bacon on top of the nice spread of fruits, pastries, yogurt, oatmeal, and fresh fruit. As far as breakfast buffets go, it has everything I needed to tide me over until dinner. For dinne on day 2, I went a bit indulgent after recommendations by my waitress Kate. Kate was amazing; attentive, knew the menu well, and very friendly. I started off with 2 bottles of some of the best Ginger Beer I've ever tasted. Strong ginger flavor with a spicy bite. The canoe cut of bone marrow was so rich and delicious on the lightly toasted pieces of sourdough. I even used extra prices to sop up the juices in the bone marrow. Last but not least, was a slice of beef tenderloin, lobster (which I added), wilted kale, and potato pavé. The kale was wonderful. I wish I had more of it. Lightly cooked with a nice salted finish. The potato pavé was something I've never seen before. Kate explained it was basically scalloped potatoes with a crispy shell. That too was crispy, yet tender and buttery. The lobster was cooked to perfection, tender and not tough or overcooked. It was lightly seasoned and for the first time in my life, I ate lobster without butter and I liked it. The beef tenderloin was cooked medium rare and was sitting on a bed of gravy. I'm sure it was the same gravy as the prime rib and I made sure to eat up every piece. I love The Velvet. It really is a wonderful place to eat and the food is superb. Everyone is nice and I've had back to back delicious dinners that I'll remember long after I leave here. Can't wait to eat here tomorrow.

This is the only restaurant in the airport so your choices are limited. Ample seating (although the wooden chairs aren't very comfortable for too long) and always very clean. There are some outlets by select tables for charging up devices (handy while eating). Most items are made fresh so it's a nice change from fast food or heavily processed cafe food you might find elsewhere. The breakfast specials they have sometimes are a really good deal all things considered ($7 for two eggs, toast, bacon, etc). Definitely a place to check out when going to Castlegar.
