In the heat of the summer, Barabra and I decided to re-introduce ourselves to Matches. The restaurant at the Langley casino. The restaurant features a very nice patio. The seating is most comfortable.
I like Matches as it serves one of the lower mainland's best Beef Dips.
Parking is always easy at the casino. where a three-story parking structure provided shade for the car. It is also a short walk to the patio. Where we were nicely greeted by the manager who directed us to the hostess. She in turn provided us with a very nice table.
Being a Wednesday the wine was half-priced. I had the Jackson-Triggs Reisling-Gewurztraminer. It was nice some good fruity notes but a little too sweet. Barbara had the Wayne Gretzky Cabernet Syrah, which missed the mark. Barbara did not finish her glass.
On the food side, Barabara ordered the Macaroni and Cheese. She was disappointed in the disApparently the receipt had been changed since she last enjoyed the dish. Pulled Pork had been added, which Barbara did not want. The sauce was not as creamy this time.
My Beef Dip was served on a wooden plater. I do not approve of wooden platers. The receipt was also changed by adding a horseradish aioli sauce. To me, a Beef dip is a slightly toasted bun smothered in melted buttered. The beef thinly shaved and dipped in hot au jus before been piled high on the bun. No additives at all.
The service was excellent. We had a very charming waitress. Overall it was relaxing .
