Welcome to the first instalment of #stafffeaturesunday. This is Ben. He enjoys eating cold lasagne, and crying over a bowl of mint chocolate chip while watching The Notebook. He’ll tell you it’s just allergies, but he’s lying.

The Easter bunny told us that perfect way to wash down all the Easter chocolate is with one of our featured blueberry mojitos this evening for only $7.00! Don’t ruin Easter by not following this advice!

We are excited to continue our musical theme this week! Come out and hear some great jazz upstairs at the Island Restaurant this Friday night, March 23rd, at 7 pm. This trio of fabulous young musicians is stopping here in Golden as part of their tour of the BC Interior. See you there!

Start your evening with your special someone on the right foot and order our feature martini! The Strawberry Smooch, made with strawberry Baileys, creme de cocoa and raspberry liqueur! Don’t have a special someone?? We won’t judge you while you drink to forget! Give us a call and we’d be happy to make a reservation for you!

We will be offering this romantic menu for tomorrow night as well as our regular menu. I stopped reading at Chai Latte Cheesecake!

At The Island we love when it snows, especially when we can avoid shovelling and drink wine instead. Give those shovelin’ arms a break and come in this evening to enjoy a 6oz glass of our feature wine, the 2014 Gehringer Brothers Gewurtztraminer Schönburger blend for only $7! This pairs amazingly well with our Green Thai Curry Bowl! Give us a visit, your arms will thank you!
