    Exceptional service, we were greeted warmly before we even entered the restaurant which was nice. They knew it was our anniversary and we were offered congratulations and a sweet little sign! Loved that they had Mocktail options for me (8 months pregnant) and they were delicious! Our food was phenomenal, and the chef came around to see that everyone enjoyed their meal, loved that! All in all a great evening, thank you!

    Made a reservation for 8:30 p.m. but we did not sit down until close to 9:00. We were told at 8:15 we'd be seated within minutes. There's no place to wait inside or out. It was very uncomfortable. How's that

    A bit too noisy for conversation at times. Perhaps fewer tables? Without soft materials the noise resonates and carries

    My birthday dinner could have turned out differently if not for the staff at The Valley. Our original table was in a crowded extremely noisy room and after being there for awhile, we decided that we wouldn’t stay for dinner. Our waiter must have told his manager because the next thing we know, they had offered us a beautiful table on their heated, quiet patio. I was able to enjoy the swordfish special which was amazing, while sitting by the fire listening to music. Thank you for not letting my birthday dinner be ruined and for letting me look forward to returning again soon!

    We were disappointed in the food. Not sure we will be back at The Valley Inn in the near future. The sauce tasted like someone opened a can and poured it over the food. That's not how I like Italian Food.

    As always, our meal at the Valley was delicious. The portions were generous and delicious, the staff were friendly and go above and beyond expectations, the price is affordable given the portion sizes, the ambiance is quiet, casual and laid back yet it’s elegant and intimate at the same time. Every time we come to the Valley the food and the experience is consistently over the top. We’ve never had a bad experience which is why we keep going back. Thanks to Nadia and her staff for always giving us a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience. We always leave with full stomachs and smiles on our faces. 😊 Until next time…

    Service very slow. 15 minutes from sitting down at the table we hadn’t seen our waiter for anything. Not the best start. In between table visits we could see the waitress walking outside to wait on table on the outside patio behind the restaurant. Total service time start to finish was almost 2 hours. The food was really good and my wife enjoyed the wine. I was surprised that it was 24 dollars per glass. I guess we should have looked at the menu prior but it seemed steep. I’ll probably end up going back but it wasn't that enjoyable for me to sit that king through dinner. My wife had enough wine to not care that much

    Excellent Resteraunt. We arrived 60 minutes early to find a nice line up of people waiting to eat at this very very nice restaurant. The hostess was excellent and was able to get us in 30 minutes early. While we waited we went for a nice walk down to the beach. Our family requires gluten free food and they were able to accommodate perfectly. Will be back next time we are in town. Dave Ross

    Family celebration for my husband’s 60th & daughter’s 45th milestone birthdays.. The restaurant recognized our celebration with a special sign & an incredible mango dessert plate.. They came very highly recommended & we were not disappointed, the fabulous food, service & atmosphere there was incredible. A very special thank you to our server Joe who was knowledgeable, courteous & there for everything we needed. The Valley is our new family favourite & we will definitely recommend them!!

    Our waitress was absolutely amazing! Super friendly and made me and my partner feel special during our anniversary, being a same sex couple we often aren’t treated with respect durning special occasions but that was not a factor here. Upon arrival at our table the first thing Selena (hope I’m spelling this correctly) said was Happy Anniversary how many years are we celebrating. This was definitely something that made us feel less anxious about having a night out. She went over and above last night, having “Happy Anniversary” written on our dessert plate. Then to top it off we had incredible food! For our first time there the food did not disappoint, we definitely will be returning in the near future and recommend everyone who is thinking about trying to do so!

    We had a reservation and were left outside waiting for 30 minutes. We made the reservation with a 25$ pp (100$) if we did not cancel 24 hrs in advance. When expecting this of patrons the table should be ready for you. I went in and asked. They said if I called even an hour before I would not be charged. I felt very misled. The server was great. The food was okay. The wait definitely ruined the experience.

    The Peach Flatbread app was amazing, as was the Trout Dinner feature. We took two of our friends there to celebrate their birthdays (their first time at 'The Valley) and they loved it. Great service, fabulous food,. Our favorite restaurant, and we look forward to our next dinner there in a couple of weeks.

    Excellent food every time I've been here. Service is great. Baby bunny sighting on the patio a bonus. Could benefit the restaurant to invest in some proper chairs on the patio, cheap plastic bistro chairs can make for swampy conditions in the summer heat.

    Unfortunately we made a mistake when we ordered the special e should have asked how spicy it was and it was very spicy too much for us the drisotto and the vegetables was excellent and when the server realized it they tried to make it better for us and we did not really wish to cause any trouble but they surprised us with 2 great shrimp platters and when the bill came we were not charged for that either we will be back and next time we ask about spicy before we order, the best service i have ever had in any restaurant it was definitely not their fault EXCELLENT SERVICE THE BEST.
