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.

Beautifully decorated for Christmas! Food consistently good. Starter salad dressing was very nice! Tuscan Table menu is a favourite of mine to select. Parking is always a concern but dining early helps. Lamb was tender. Flavour was safe - maybe more spice to enhance the flavour of lamb? Mashed potatoes was firm. More butter and cream might make it more melt in your mouth. Food was Consistent but not a Wow factor.

I enjoyed the vegan afternoon tea and it was absolutely delicious. It was so lovely to have every item on the regular tea menu made into vegan offerings. Really delicious flavours and such a beautiful dining area, it was a really lovely afternoon experience.
