Loving the CP review, we've booked here and so pleased we did. It's great that you've included the prices too as it gives such a good idea if paying OOP for things how much to budget.

We got the Chicken Pita and the Hand Carved Turkey Sandwich for our entree and both the Zebra Domes as dessert. For drinks we had a bottle of Fanta and a Vitamin water.

I must say this food wow'd me! The chicken pita was so nice! Fresh tasting and very filling. Great sauce on the pita wich was so flavorfull but not too spicy. I ate it without the fries wich where nothing special.

My boyfriend had the Turkey Sandwich wich was also very good he said. Nice juicy thick slices of Turkey on it.

We didn't have much space left to eat the domes but managed to push one in and it was so good. Very smooth mousse and just enough alcohol to give it a kick!

Cost:
Chicken Pita $9.19
Hand Carved Turkey Sandwich $ 9.19
2x Zebra Domes $3.69
Fanta $2.99
Vitamin Water $4
Total + Tax = $34.72.

Columbia Harbour House Lunch




We stopped here for a quick bite between two adr's. Didn't do any research on this one so i had no expectations.



It looked pretty inside, not a typical quick service and we found this nice window spot.




We choosed the Battered Fish Basket and the Fried Shrimp Platter and i was wondering why it was called a basket? Maybe it's just me

I have to say it was not bad, the fish was of good quality and the shrimps where fat and juicy but it was nothing special. The batter used was just plain nog flavoured batter and it was just an ok meal. I wouldn't choose this restaurant again with all those other fantastic restaurants on property.





For dessert the seasonal cobbler and the standard chocolat cake found at many counter service spots. Chocolat cake was fab as always and the cobbler was nice but that vanilla sauce really makes it too much. Man this was almost an meal on it selfs. It was served warm so it felt like a rock in my stomach. Nice flavours tho, sweet warm juicy peaches underneath that crunchy layer.

We both choosed a Fanta with the menu.

Cost:
Battered Fish Basket $7.99
Fried Shrimp Platter $9.99
Seasonal Cobbler $3.99
Chocolate Cake $3.99
2x Fanta $6.38
Total + Tax = $34.28
