THOUGHTS ON REAL ESTATE Monday, June 27, 2011 Dining out Locally - River HouseAs you can tell from the photo below, we were well baked from our time in the mountains on Sunday and were in need of refreshment and sustanence. As we had exhausted the dog - (again for those who have read other blogs here) - we decided to take Pebbles home first before heading out for dinner.That put us back in Ladner and while hubby wanted to head out to one of our mainstays, I suggested we try the River House. (Some may remember this as the Fiddlers Green) Fading hot June Sunday afternoons after a long hike are just made for dinner and ice cold glasses of wine (I like whites) on a deck alongside a lazy river with a view of the pleasure craft marina and park on the opposite bank.
It's always interesting to be an observer of people working on boats, kids carting dogs around in wheelbarrows, water skiers and a variety of birdlife. I appreciated that the music was actually in the background and I didn't have to yell or strain to listen to conversation.
The River House boasts two separate eateries - the restaurant and the pub. They offer different menu items in both but you can order off either menu. They offer safe middle of the road wine choices and I like that they chilled my wine glass first. George had the mussels and clams to start and the halibut special for main. He said they were both good but the main was quite a small portion for him - which usually means I'm sharing :)
I enjoyed my crab cakes with mango/peach chutney and my tenderloin was done just fine. Overall, a good enough meal with a great view and the service was attentive but not intrusive. I wouldn't say it is a "special" type of place. We walked in wearing shorts and T-shirts on a Sunday night at the height of the dinner hour without a reservation or redirection to the pub. It's a comfortable place but a wee bit expensive.
I have heard they make excellent burgers and will be sure to visit again for lunch rain or shine as the view is excellent.
