Jaspers Pemberton

Saturday night dining experience. It was busy. Service was excellent. Attentive, but not intrusive. There were plenty of gluten free options. But not for dessert. Duck leg risotto was tasty (according to the wife). The pork belly/ribs were average. Could have been elevated with crackle skin and seasoning. The whisky BBQ sauce was nothing special. Believe it or not, the honey carrots were my favourite part of the entire dish, and I'm a BBQ carnivore fiend. The whisky selection is astounding (for the location). And who knew Sweden made such incredible whisky: Moment Fjällmark, 42% ABV, $35 Cask - Swedish cloudberry wine, Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry I also had another whisky (Ben Riach Cask Strength) which was ok, but let down by the crumbly cork. It was refunded from the bill, but I got the distinct impression that the manager knew about the crumbly cork but chose to serve it anyway. Tut tut N.B. This is an inside outside dining experience. It's cold inside and out in winter, and will be hot inside and out in summer. Definitely need to book a table, but a worthwhile dining experience if you're in any way a whisky fan.

My partner and I went here twice during our week in Pemberton. The food is absolutely amazing with plenty of options for people on a gluten free, vegan or vegetarian diet. The décor is lovely and it's easy to forget you're in a small town as you're absorbed by your surroundings. The staff are extremely nice and provide professional service that make your dining experience the best in Pemberton.
