before i start im not saying all this because i work there, im just saying it because cactus is one of the most generous, understanding and organized companies Ive ever worked for and i just want to get my opinion across to people.
If guests didnt have interest in quality food they wouldnt keep coming back for more. People line up at 11am to get in for lunch on most days. Are chefs come in at 5am everyday and start prepping for next day. Our chicken breasts are left in a brine for 24hrs for maximum tenderness and juicyness. All our seafood is QUALITY ocean wise seafood. Our steaks are fresh grain-fed Alberta Certified Angus Beef, which is hand selected from the top percentile of beef in Western Canada.
Now,
We could get are seafood from a Chinese distributor for less but the quality will never be like Ocean Wise certified seafood. We could get are Beef imported from the states but the quality would be shit, thats what restaurants like Montanas does. If you dont believe me go to a Montanas around 530PM on a friday night and then go to a Cactus Club at 530 and see the difference quality makes or lets not even use Cactus as a example lets use a private owned place like Stephos on davie, they get fresh local ingredients too and the quality things that are important that are limited in Canada they import from Greece. They won a million awards and everytime you go by people are waiting in the cold to get in for some quality food.
I wont even get started on the sex appeal and familiarity jazz, im a hospitality management student and i could go on and on and on and on about this lol
