Restaurant Spotlight: Cactus Club Cafe

I have always been a huge fan of the Cactus Club cafe, so I was really excited when YAA gave me a $50 gift certificate to spend at their restaurant. When you first walk into the restaurant it’s a bit of a change. The inside is quite dark but candles and lights make up for it, thus giving the restaurant an intimate appeal. Our hostess was very kind while guiding us to our booth. Once seated, my parents and I took a look at their menu.

After about 10 or 15 minutes our food arrived. My dad and I ordered the cajun chicken burger while my mom ordered the raincoast greens.

The burger was fantastic. The chicken was cooked wonderfully. It was juicy and very well seasoned. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh, and the aged cheddar was a delicious topping.

The raincoast green salad was just as delicious as the cajun chicken burger, if not more so. When I think of salad, I think of a small and light side dish to my main meal, but the raincoast greens were very filling (according to my mom). I had a taste of the salad and I must it say it was very good. I would never have thought to mix eggs, pecans, berries and chicken together!

Once were were finished with our meals we decided to have dessert.

I ordered the key lime pie. It was a great way to finish off the meal. The graham cracker crust was very well done and the hand-whipped cream was an added bonus.

My parents ordered the cheesecake and seemed to be very pleased with their choice. I had to agree with them after taking a bite for myself. The sweetness of the cheesecake and the tanginess of the fruit really completed the dessert.

Overall, my experience at the Cactus Club Cafe was delightful. The only thing better than the friendly service was the great taste of the food. For just a little over $50 (tips included) my parents and I left the restaurant completely satisfied. I recommend the Cactus Club to everyone. It’s an enviroment that welcomes people of all ages for all occasions. I for one will be going back there very soon.
