As usual our experience did not disappoint - our server respectfully allowed us to catch up before ordering and provided exemplary service throughout - which is both expected and also always, always gratefully appreciated. I indulged my inner child and ordered Med Bread for the first time in decades; in retrospect I’m embarrassed that I haven’t freely admitted to my love of this delicious staple! Our selections were as delicious and plentiful as expected, and the relaxed opportunity to work our way through the delicious table before us was much appreciated- we did our absolute best but had to admit defeat and request a takeout box in the end. I love the hospitality of this place and that I can count on them for a consistently amazing experience - thank you!

The food, service and ambiance are the best on Vancouver Island- and that’s saying something given the quality of restaurants here. A true “hidden gem”. I highly recommend the resort and the restaurant.
