   We celebrated Mother’s Day here, it was perfect. I wish I could remember all of the servers names - they were so attentive. The food was amazing- we all had the Caesar salad to start 💫 it was delicious and very unique, the Salmon, the Tenderloin and Sablefish were cooked perfectly- compliments to the chef (along with presentation) !!! We demolished the Apple Gallette and Carrot Cake between the 4 of us - thinking we would just have a bite! Wrong. The wine list is impressive and our server had a great recommendation for us, the bartender knows how to make an Old Fashioned - one of the best on the island. Thank-you for an incredible dinner, it was really wonderful ❣️❣️❣️

   Great Service - Great food. We had a question about an ingredient and the staff went and asked the Chef. We were offered indoor or outdoor seating :)

   The restaurant was quiet and we were seated immediately after a warm welcome. The complementary amusement bouche was tasty, and raised our hopes for an enjoyable birthday celebration. The staff were attentive and courteous, but there was no mention of the birthday we’d indicated we would be celebrating on the reservation. Nor did they offer any explanation of or recommendation from the limited menu. We did enjoying the leisurely pace of the meal (about 2 hours), and that each dish was ample size that we could enjoy three courses. Our favorite dish was the Apple Galette we had for dessert. Our least favorite, the Roast Duck which, for our taste, was no well done (no pink at all) and lacked the crisp duck skin promised on the menu. For a bill of nearly ¢300 for two (admittedly including 2 cocktails and a bottle of wine) plus tip, we felt sated but not entirely satisfied. The whole was less than the sum of its parts.

   Food was amazing especially loved the scallops tasted so fresh. We had the fish and it was cooked to perfection as well. Lovely location will definitely be back 😊

    It would have been nice to have all the Vendors with some sort of documentation so you could rate your tastings and mark what you had. It also would have been nice to be able to order the wines you liked. I think the only Vendor from Vancouver Island was Unsworth. Would have been nice to have locals. Food - I arrived at 1pm and by 1:30 - everything was gone. Would have been nice to plates to put items on. Very crowded - I left by 2pm as I was done and it appeared that most ppl were leaving - perhaps next time, you have appointments every 30 minutes to keep everything flowing.
