The wine flight was tasty too - a great local wine was included. 5 courses with different dishes for the three of us to share (or not!).

I can't say enough about this place and our hosts. What a spectacular setting! The accommodations…read moreare like new, clean, spacious, bright, quiet, private...you get the idea. Maple Grove is far enough from town for a secluded feeling, but close enough for a quick run in for a nice dinner. Our breakfast was made to order and was fantastic. With our own living room to relax in, and our own dining table at which to eat that delicious breakfast, we felt right at home. There are two big bedrooms with an amazing modern bathroom (with a claw foot tub), so we plan to bring along another couple on our next visit.

As I've said in previous reviews, it's nice to have this sit-down restaurant in this part of…read morecampus where there's not a lot of options for a full service meal. The staff is professional and the service is reasonably quick. The restaurant itself can get a little loud (music levels are fine these days, it's just that any room will get loud when you fill it with uni students), but it's a clean and bright environment. The main menu has lots of options to accommodate vegetarian and vegan diets, the brunch menu has a very limited vegan selection which is underwhelming when you consider that UBC seems to like to push their plant-based food at other dining locations. Most of the food that I've tried is really good, a few items have been underwhelming. Usually I love their crispy tofu, but I recently tried the Gochujang Tofu Wraps and found the tofu to be a little dry, plus it should have been diced smaller to work more efficiently in the wraps. I had the same problem with the perogies (not currently on the menu), where they were fried to the point of being too crisp. Otherwise what I've said previously about the food still stands - the salads/bowls with fresh vegetables are really good, and I really enjoyed the experience of the lettuce wraps despite the tofu not being quite to my preference. It's on the pricey side but portions are huge. Highly recommend trying the brownie for dessert.

Great prices for a nice variety of option as it appeared to cater a bit to retirees with boats. Well worth looking into when you're in Sidney area near the Victoria International Airport. I enjoyed a great salad meal; Sea Glass Nicoise Salad Very fresh ingredients with nice variety of fixings. The owner/manager was our server and she was nicely attentive as would be expected.

Food is delish and such a great nice atmosphere. Been there twice and hoping to visit moreread more

I heard about this place on a podcast (ITM) and wanted to go to a celebratory dinner somewhere new…read more The drive to Blaine was super easy, the location is convenient, and there is ample parking. There is definitely at least one back room, but the main dining room is a bright, airy space that has access to a patio where may even be some live music playing. The tables are gorgeous - all live edge, which might create a bit of an issue if you have short arms and are used to stealing bites across the table, but they are absolutely beautiful and a nice nod to the area. The wine list is extensive and a bit overwhelming, but the service is happy, friendly, and very knowledgeable. In fact, I love when servers don't know, admit it, and find the answer for you - it's humble and shows they really care at getting you what you want. We got the orange wine, which is a new favorite of mine. It's like a rose for reds. Rose:White::Orange:Red. More savory, still light, and best chilled. We had the beet hummus app, which is definitely best eaten with your hands. It's light and delicious. We had the miso black cod, a personal favorite, and the lasagna for dinner and while both were good, the accoutrements with the cod were the true standout. Amazing and I could probably eat two of them. As the restaurant operates on a seasonal menu, we had a strawberry rhubarb cobbler for dessert. I know there is Sunday Brunch, and I can't wait to try it. It's not the cheapest, but it's one of the nicer restaurants in Whatcom, and is definitely worth your pennies. Everything about it makes for a truly nice experience, and we'll definitely be back.

We were looking for a healthy lunch spot after indulging in one too many delicious Nanaimo Bars and…read moreGabriel's turned out to be the perfect antidote to our sugar overload! It's a casual restaurant with mostly indoor tables, but we were able to snag a table in the small parklet in front of the restaurant. We ordered two bowls - the Malaysian Peanut bowl and the Tunisian Tagine bowl. Both were delicious, but the Malaysian Peanut bowl was particularly tasty - rich, warm, with veggies and choice of meat. It's true that the bowls are probably about 70% rice, 30% everything else, so they aren't exactly "light" fare. I think since we weren't starving, we could have shared one bowl and been satisfied. All the ingredients tasted super fresh and nothing was overly salted or oily. Extra bonus that the Cafe is super close to the everything downtown, and directly across the street from the Nanaimo Museum. Overall, a great spot for lunch or brunch in Nanaimo!

We got 1 of the front tables in the front window area and it was just soo quaint! Loved it. We ordered Sourdough Tartine-2 poached eggs, Fol Epi sourdough, cashew cheese, broccoli, romesco, served with greens and added homemade sausage. It was really flavorful and delicious!! Great combo!! The sausage was also very juicy and tasted yummy. We also got the honey rooibos vanilla latte and sweet and salty latte. And both drinks were great!! I also had a carrot muffin to go and it was moist and very tasty! Soo charming when you are in the area!

But as I was deciding, I was sadly met with them being sold out. Keep that in mind if there's something you're eyeballing like the 'crab'.

Service was friendly, but slow.

The location is wonderful. Water views, downtown, so it's easy to get around. Parking was easy and even though we were early for our reservation they sat us right away. The mids- when I made the reservation online I made a note about it being a very special birthday for my wife. I did not expect anything for free, but I anticipated they might at the minimum say something. Not one person ever mentioned it. The lows. The service, well intended, but under trained. I won't list everything but the prime example is once the food was dropped the server did not show up again until we were almost done. The food was sub par. We had Miso glazed cod and French onion soup. We weren't happy with either. By the looks of reviews, our experience was not normal. We hope it is just due to going before the tourist season starts. No matter the reason, it was a big let down.
