Grilled Malibu Chicken Salad – free range lemon herb chicken, strawberries, grapes, sunflower seeds, avocado, shredded carrots, avocado vinaigrette dressing

• I often find that many restaurants skimp out on meat when you order a salad. I was surprised by how much chicken was on this salad. It came with two full breasts that were marinated and had almost a Greek chicken flavour to it.
• I loved the sweetness that the grapes and strawberries added to the salad.
• The avocado vinaigrette was flavourful, but still light and not overwhelming.
• This is the kind of salad I could eat on a regular basis and not get sick of it.

Garlic Roasted Porchetta Sandwich – oven roasted BC free range natural pork loin seasoned with herbs and garlic, sriracha mayo drizzle, pickled carrot, red onion and fennel, hot banana peppers

• The roasted pork was full of flavour, but slightly dry
• I really liked the tangy flavours that the pickled vegetables added
• The sriracha mayo and hot banana peppers added some spice to the sandwich

Tortilla soup

• The tortilla soup was almost like a thinner chili because it had chunks of vegetables and chicken in it
• The soup was really flavourful and had a bit of spice to it, which I liked
• I liked the crunch of the tortilla chips on top, but I would recommend eating this quickly before they become soggy

The dining pass is definitely big enough for two people and you get a good amount of food for the price. The dining pass is available for purchase on Vaneats.ca for $22.
