    We really like this spot since we stay close by. The view is spectacular and the service and food are very good. They are a bit pricey but you get large portions so it is worth it (we always take home food).

    I think the turkey died of old age it was so tough. The vegetables were raw rather than al dente. It was a 1 hour wait before our meal was served.

    The food served at tables is excellent. The buffet food served at all gatherings I’ve been to Katelyn has been less than acceptable

    Wonderful ambience, fantastic service & Seafood Chowder was delicious. My friends had Halibut & Beef Dip, which they said was good, but they weren’t raving about it. There was a good deal on a bottle of wine on a Tuesday evening.

    I wouldn't recommend the nachos - they were poor. Though fellow diners had the hamburger and it was very good.

    We have been to this restaurant several times in the past three years, returning because the service has been very good, the menu selection quite extensive, the food preparation and presentation consistently excellent, and we always felt we were getting good value for fair prices. Our visit three days ago will likely be our last. The menu has been significantly reduced and even some items on the smaller menu were not available. It wasn't that they were sold out, but were explained as a mistake on the menu. Two of the food items we did choose were disappointing. The coq au vin consisted of three small drumsticks, some quite thick sauce and over cooked potato chunks - it wasn't the stew I expected. The Reuben was dried out, perhaps because it spent too much time on the grill, and the amount of smoked beef filling was "sparse". To accompany the smaller menu, prices have understandably increased. Our server was inexperienced, but then again, staff availability and competency seem to have become a common problem in the industry. It almost seems as if the Arbutus Ridge Golf Club wishes its facility to move away from providing a good restaurant experience (good food, good service, fair pricing in a spectacular location) to become a mediocre experience (still in a spectacular location). Perhaps I expect too much. After all, the eating area's name is Satellite Bar and Grille so I should realistically expect bar and grill(e) food, but the rub is that there are a number of pubs with spectacular views in the Cowichan Valley that have great food and service for reasonable prices. We'll now go there.

    We were very pleased with the meal and the service. We had not been to this restaurant for a year because of disappointment with the last experience so were very pleased to see the improvements. We will definitely go back.
