Cute facility, and lovely kind staff. However the products I happened to try were mediocre at best, the bubble tea was nothing more than flavored tea milk water missing the traditional bubble tea thickness and consistency also I paid for the additional popping bubbles and they didn't add the regular ones even though the girl at the til mentioned both were requested. I also ordered a caramel macchiato which the esspresso shot had a strong burnt taste to it. The barkeep kindly tried to make another however it was either due to machine issues/ cleaning due or shot grind/ duration.
She replaced it with a London fog, which had no vanilla in it, she did add once I mentioned it and the cook also mentioned it should have it.
My growth suggestions are to calibrate your esspresso shots for the current bean types your using each day or when switching beans, ensure regular cleaning if using often.
Your London fog, you need to steep your tea longer and leave the bag in (to prevent the steamed milk experience), and add vanilla to the beverage.
As for the bubble tea, Google is your friend here I am by no means a bubble making expert just drink it lots and it should have a mildly thick creamy texture. And if your popping bubble or jelly is 1$ for substitute of the brown sugar tapioca ones that should be more clear, as many people love the combinations of tapioca and jelly.
I do appreciate you trying to make my experience right in the moment, and I hope this will help in the future! Have...
Read moreWent down for a bite as we were staying at the Quality Inn. Have to say it did not start out well. First 4 things we tried to order they didn't have and the first waitress was new, in training and really confused.
Owner took over and things turned around. We had come close to just getting up and leaving but very glad we stayed. This is without doubt the best food between Jasper and Kamloops. We stay in Clearwater fairly often when travelling, this will be our go to place to eat from here on out.
Prices are well up there, just like most of B.C. but in this case, it is well worth it becuase the food is exceptional. Portions are large, the plates actually look too small for what is on them. The snitzels are huge, the steak is beautiful. Lots of gluten-free choices.
My only comment is they have quite a collection of half dead plants. Fix them or toss them, but they are just an unattractive bug trap the way they are. Thus the 3 stars on atmosphere.
This place is well worth stopping at. We will every time...
Read moreWhat a wonderful evening dinner to wrap up our trip to see my nephew graduate in Edmonton. We are staying in the hotel that is attached to this wonderful restaurant. The hotel is great but this restaurant makes it 10 x better! Stephanie greeted us and Lisa (I hope I got this right but she is in management) was our server. Both ladies were amazing! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was 10/10 for sure!! I highly recommend eating at Gateway Grill! The menu is innovative with fantastic healthy and enjoyable options. I had the baked Jager pasta with a raspberry cucumber mojito, my mom had calamari and Cesar salad and we brought honey garlic wings for take out for my aunt who was resting after a long day of travel. The music and ambiance of the restaurant was lovely. It was bustling and vibrant. Thank you so much Gateway for such a great experience and we will make this a stop on our next trip to...
