The breakfast and view here was pretty top notch. I got the pointe breakfast, which was delicious. We also had the pancakes with brownie in them and the French toast. All delicious. I will definitely be coming back next time in Tofino. read more

Staying at the resort, we booked my birthday dinner in this restaurant which gets high marks throughout Canada. The experience starts with a 180 degree view of the Pacific Ocean. Since it is sunlight here in the summer until 9:30 pm, you will have a gorgeous view for dinner! Our table was against the window, but there is not a bad table in the restaurant. The chef offered a 5-course tasting menu with optional wine pairing, or you could order ala cart from the menu. Many, if not all, of their offerings are sourced locally. We chose to order off the menu. We were sent a nice complementary pallet cleanser, smoked sturgeon. This was a very lovely bite. We spilt the seafood bisque - YUMMY. The bisque is not too heavy, which most bisques are. A few pieces of shrimp add a great texture and flavor. My main entree was the Tofino salmon. It is prepared medium rare, but I did not feel it was medium rare. It was quite perfect. The fish is served skin side up. I usually do not eat skin, but it looked so good - crispy and salty and the perfect accompaniment to the fish. The dish is served with locally sourced vegetables and a potato purée. My husband enjoyed the halibut, which was served with lemon gnocchi and locally sourced veggies. He said this was the best halibut he has ever had. I tried a bite, and it was incredible! Too full for dessert, the house brought a nice lemon chocolate torte bite. The service and the food at The Pointe is 5 star. And the view?! Can I rate it 100 stars?!?! read more

One of my absolutely favorite restaurants. Besides the amazing view on the ocean and beautiful wooden style decor the food is delicious! One of my all time favorite entrees and deserts I had here. Slow cooked Tofino halibut and Peach melba. Highly recommend!! read more

One of my favorite restaurants anywhere. This is one of the rare places where the food is as beautiful as the setting. It's simply a memorable place that is hard to beat. Highlights from this visit included a corn soup with saffron and a roasted corn salsa, and a halibut with chickpeas, apricots and chantrelles with a scallion jus. Every dish from the amuse-bouche to the dessert was a work of art. Service was at just the right level of visibility, with perfect timing. It's a splurge, but you won't regret it. read more

I saw this Inn and restaurant on the show "1000 places to see before you die." and decided we had to visit. We stayed at the inn for four nights and ate breakfast here 3 days and dinner. The dinner was outstanding, the breakfasts were definitely better than average. For the most part, the portions here are not large, so if you have a big appetite, you may be disappointed. I liked that they made many things in house - even the butter served with dinner. The extra attention to detail really shows. For breakfast over 3 days we had: 1. mushroom bacon brie omelet - full of shitaki and the more exotic mushrooms. Best mushroom omelet - EVER. It came with potatoes which were a bit rich. 2. Brioche french bread, which was a bit dry. My daughter was disappointed with it. 3. The Pointe Breakfast, with toast made from homeade bread and raspberry jelly, eggs, sausage (made inhouse and tasted a bit like a bratwurst ) OR bacon on another day. Ok - scrambled egg portions seemed kind of skimpy. 4. Crab Eggs Benedict - rich and full of crab and avocado. Delicious hollandaise. 5. Standard Eggs Benedict - could've used more Hollandaise and the ham tasted porky to me. Each day they had house blended juices - some combination of apple, peach, berry, mango juice - a relative bargain at $4.25 for a glass. At dinner: Drinks: Mai Tai - strong & Missionaries downfall - very peachy and might be my new favorite drink (Didn't taste like it had much alcohol in it.) 1. Appetizer: Crab Pierogie with good, sweet, tangy mustard - wonderful 2. Amuse Buche: Quail fritter - a hint of India - very good 3. Seared Halibut and Shellfish sausage with a bunch of orange froth. My daughter thought the sausage was too salty and had too much tarragon. I thought sausage was supposed to be salty. She also thought there was too much orange in this dish. 4. Short rib and spotted prawns. The meat melted in my mouth and the prawns were delicious. 5. They served a variety of breads made inhouse. I can't say I was wowed by the bread here. 6. Dessert was a disappointment: Rasberry sorbet - needed more sugar. The black sesame crunch was left on the plate. My daughter thought it was a weird combination. I'm not a fan of sesame anyway. Fortunately, we also got a tiny nibble of dark chocolate with chile, so we ended the meal on a good note. We ate all meals early, so were fortunate enough to get a table right by the window, which overlooks Chesterman Beach. It is one of the loveliest beaches I've seen. The service was warm and friendly and sometimes even funny, not at all stuffy like you might think given the prices. They also have a coffee lounge in another building that served baked goods, including a pricey but very buttery flakey croissant and the best latte I ever had - including cute latte art. This is definitely one of the best (and most expensive) restaurants I've ever eaten at. I hope to come back here before I die. read more

Awesome location and great food! This is definitely a place worth stopping by on your trip to Tofino. The location of this restaurant is spectacular and has a great view of the ocean and Chesterman Beach. Although the food is on the higher side, the quality and flavor as well as service is justified. We arrived during your brunch time and although on a long weekend, it was relatively quiet although they do not have a very large dining area. Perhaps calling ahead just in case would be a good idea, we did as we had a party of 10. The food was also very well prepared and presented. Our party tried their wagyu beef skillet, pork belly buns and fish and chips but the group favorite by far was the scallops. The maple bacon flavor was well done and cooked nicely. It was so good that our family had to order another helping. All in all, it was unexpected but we were all very impressed. read more

Wow. The star is the view - amazing... So relaxing to be dining while watching the waves, weather changes and activity on Chesterman Beach. The service was amazing. Extremely attentive and helpful wait staff. Was pleasantly surprised how good the food tasted since mainly came to check out the stunning views and architecture of the restaurant. read more

The views are amazing - worth coming to sit amongst the waves crashing right outside the window. We went for breakfast, and the food was delicious. Service here was on par with a 5-star high end restaurant. Cost was a bit expensive for the size of meal (we weren't full after), but you're really paying for the fresh ingredients in the meal, the view and service. Go for the fresh juice if they have it - it was delicious! Lots of gluten free options too, which is a huge plus for me! read more

First and foremost the service at the entire Wickaninnish Inn is outstanding. The best service I've ever had including the staff at The Pointe Restaurant. We opened our menus to find they printed them special for us with the text "Happy belated birthday Ms. MacLean" - what an incredible touch. I felt so special! Our waiter Christoph was funny charming and a delight to chat with through the course of the evening. We had a spectacular view of the waves crashing into the rocks and surfers catching waves off Chesterman Beach. For atmosphere and service this restaurant receives a 5 stars from me! For food, I'd have to give it a 4/5 rating for a couple of reasons. Soft house made butter to start with a wonderful assortment of bread. We ordered cocktails to start, i the Dark & Stormy. It was delicious and served in a proper tall glass. We had the chilled seafood plate to share. I was surprised at how small this dish was with the price of $25. This appetizer is meant for one person and not a share dish. It was tasty however there just wasn't enough to go around for three of us. Onto the mains! I ordered the sablefish ($48), my mother the Halibut and my sister the Lingcod. Of all the dishes the Halibut stood out to me the most. The flavour was on point and the fish was cooked to perfection. My sable fish was good but could have done without the Smokey broth poured overtop or possibly just have less of it in the bowl. I would have loved to have had a risotto with it or more of a carb. The Lingcod came with a basil mash which was the best mash I've ever had, my god. Whoever made that needs to win an award. It was spectacular. After dinner, we ordered a couple coffees and I a chai latte. Superb! The staff then surprised us with lemon truffles and dark chocolate pieces saying Happy Birthday. The treats were decadent and a lovely surprise. As we were getting ready to leave, Christoph gave us our custom menus in a lovely booklet as a takeaway to remember. This restaurant knows how to make a woman feel so special!!! Thank you so much for the fantastic dinner and service! Hot Tip: if you're taking someone here for a special occasion you're in great hands! read more

The view is spectacular, the prices are incredibly high, and the meal was one of the worst I have ever had. The steak was tough and over cooked even though it looked medium rare in the middle. The mashed potatoes were runny and small portion and the Caesar salad was incredibly off point. Mostly kale. It's like the restaurant didn't know what a Caesar salad was. We loved the resort and the personnel, but the food was terrible. read more

I came here entirely for the view. However it was dinner time and I could barely see the ocean. It's facing the ocean so you get to see waves crashing on the rock. Quite the view if you're there when it is still light out. Their drink menu was good. I had a smokey sour which was the best whiskey sour I've ever had. At $16 for a drink it was very overpriced but delicious. The food menu is quite limited and again, very expensive. I had the duck which was delicious. The foie gras was the best foie gras I've had. Their beef was two small pieces and very bland. Definitely not worth it for $60 a plate. The service was good but I felt that everyone there tried too hard. We had 3 different people check in on us when we were just having bread in the start. Overall it's a nice place for a special occasion. The drinks and the view is good but not a place I'd revisit for dinner. read more

Location,location,location! It is a good thing that they have location because there is no reason to eat there otherwise. From the very inadequately experienced waiter to the 3 attempts to get the cocktail order correct, to finally accepting $22.00 martinis with incorrect ingredients , to the limited menu , to overpriced meals. We took guests there expecting a world class experience and came away underwhelmed and positive in our resolve to never return or recommend. read more

Went there for brunch, mainly for the beautiful setting! The restaurant is definitely breathtaking, with a panoramic view of the ocean, a fireplace and manages to keep an intimate setting for couples despite its size. There is a separate vegan/vegetarian brunch menu, which is definitely a plus, and the flavours are infused with some Pacific flavours. Unfortunately, the actual flavour of the dishes we ordered, were nothing remarkable. The food was good, but there are better brunch places out there for sure. Would recommend for the experience, and will be coming back, hopefully for dinner and try to catch a sunset! read more

The brunch here is amazing! Had the French toast and an iced latte - delicious food, amazing view and comparable prices to the rest of Tofino but this is a much better value for money! Our waitress, Kelli, was so sweet and engaging and clearly passionate about the food she served. 10/10 would recommend Kelli as a waitress and the French toast, too! read more

An altogether absolutely amazing experience! Everything from the food to the cocktails and desserts far exceeded our expectations, independent of the stunning views! We had the pre-fixe, which we absolutely loved and plenty of drinks to go with every course. This restaurant blew me away and I'm glad we came here instead of our original choice. read more

Listen to the skeptical voice in your head. You're here for a sheltered front row view of the crashing waves, which mutes the experience for wave watching. I regret coming here. Service was great. Got a coastal view table and the interior carries a warmth. The surrounding resort buildings have a disheartening bluish shade and parking is a short uncovered walk. But I digress, my review is for the food. The fish fritters can be renamed to corn pakora. There's more corn than much else. The seafood chowder is creamy (good) and over-salted (bad) but did they use tiny frozen bulk shrimp when they're on the Pacific Rim? Reminded me of mushroom soup. I wasn't impressed. Great staff. Overpriced bleh food. read more

The chef is clearly taking a bold and creative approach to the menu, which was an unexpected surprise given the remote location of this restaurant which features stunning views. For starters, a deep fried, baseball-sized beignet housed freshly pulled crab and a succulent scallop in the center. The outer texture was similar to a light batter of fish and chips - crunchy and golden. It was served on a shallow layer of cayenne-infused sauce. Tasty. My main was a wacky yet satisfying combination of rich sablefish with pork belly. The fish was melt-in-your-mouth tender, made even richer with a tamarind glaze. I was afraid the sauce, which also tasted of pork, might overpower the fish, but it worked. The earthy bits of pork belly tucked under a cracker of sorts were like intense bits if concentrated bacon. In my humble opinion, I'd rather have that strong flavor accompany something equally substantial, as it took a bit for my tastebuds to recalibrate in order to once again appreciate the fish after the pork. My husband had salmon, which was shockingly all white. The server informed us that's the natural color of spring or Chinook salmon. Despite the color, the fish did indeed taste of salmon, albeit a subtle salmon, and was perfectly prepared. We finished our meal with local cheeses and homemade bread which were excellent. (One of the breads was tinted red from the chunks of beet studding it - a nice twist.). We also enjoyed a glass of local bubbly to begin as well as a lovely cab blend from BC. While we're used to the bold tastes of Napa wines, I must say I've now got a soft spot for Canadian wines which are softer and more gentle to the palate. Service was attentive and very friendly. Our server made us feel like a regular and was also well informed on the food and wine. Of course,the location was stunning. When you make your reservation, ask for a table by the window. They can't guarantee you'll get one (we didn't), but it adds a world of difference when you can be mesmerized not only by the food, but the crashing waves directly below your table as well. read more

It's a lot to pay for what I would classify as "sustenance". $150 for 2 should not merely get you sustenance but a dining experience. They made a big deal about us not having a reservation...in November...in a 3/4 empty dining area. Our waiter was socially awkward and not very knowledgeable. His wine suggestion was whatever the most expensive thing on menu was. The food was barely adequate. I had the duck breast, my wife had the sole. Mine wasn't anything special. It was cooked properly but lacked any real flavour. That's quite the feat with something as succulent as duck. The sole that my wife had was bland bland bland. Fish was overcooked and bland. Risotto that it came with was bland. Vegetables it came with were undercooked and bland. The best part of her dish were the pickled carrots. We gave them a chance to redeem themselves with dessert. Another mistake. So... how would you define a "smore"? Graham cracker, chocolate, marshmallow made all melty over a campfire right? Well, what we got was a rock solid marshmallow that was barely scorched on the top. The "cedar-infused" chocolate ganache tasted like any other chocolate ganache. The crust was soft as a wet piece of bread. Throughout this ordeal, the waiter was always difficult to locate, didn't once ask us how our meal was, and didn't seem to care one way or another. Never coming back here. I let this place steal $150 of my money when I should have gone to the gas station and bought pop and chips for dinner. I would have enjoyed it more. read more

Underwhelmed. We were here 10 years ago and the food is nothing like what we remembered (granted, memory can be unreliable). The crab was rubbery and the portions were small! Unfortunately we felt cheated on this trip. Hopefully others have better experiences as our memory was of highest quality food and lodging. read more

Don't eat at The Pointe unless you are a guest of the hotel... it seems that the guests and guests alone are given the best service, judging by the reviews here. We ate at The Pointe for my parent's wedding anniversary last year. After hearing great reviews, we made a reservation (for 5). We were sadly disappointed. Not being guests of the hotel, we were informed by the hostess that we were not able to sit at a table by the window with ocean view, as those were reserved for the guests. Understandable, since it is such a pricey hotel, that those tables would be reserved for the guests. However, the dining room was empty save for us and one other table of two.. so what gives? our server also did not seem to know what he was talking about and was a bit clumsy and awkward. Would not come back. read more

The Pointe remains the fanciest restaurant in Tofino for good reasons as it has excellent service, an excellent view and fancy creatures from the ocean. Though I don't remember anything particularly standing out I do remember everything being delicious, matched by impeccable service. The waiter was really friendly and knowledgeable. He recommended a carbonara like dish that I think was on the seasonal menu. It was served with scallops and a raw egg on farfalle pasta - rich, but good. I shared fried oysters which were wrapped in a crispy potato noodle. Also, great, but if I were to visit again, I'd definitely try fresh their oysters. We finished our meal with a very strange, and not very appetizing dessert which was a Deconstructed local IPA beer dish. It had a scoop of vanilla ice cream infused with some beer and a fried dough. Everything was sprinkled with almost inedible hops. Very original but not very tasty. My favourite part was definitely my drink. The Elvis Bacon. A caesar made with "Wiser's Rye Whisky double infused with House Made Smoked Organic Bacon, House Made Bacon Crumble, Bacon Salt Rim". It was crazy good and came with two strips of bacon and extra green beans. Yum. read more

The view blew me away. The service made me feel like a princess. And the food? Sweet Jesus the food. My friend and I happened upon this ahmaaazing dining experience thanks to fellow yelper, Gabrielle P. She raved about the vegan meal she enjoyed and we thought "we want that too!" We called ahead to forewarn the chef about the two vegans coming to dinner - and there was zero problem accommodating us for the following evening. I fell in loooove with the view. We sat down at 5pm so it was still light enough to fully enjoy the spectacular ocean view. It feels like you are eating dinner at the end of the world. And then the courses just started coming! Amuse bouche: apple, grape, endive, and meyer lemon salad. Appetizers: Beet salad and a Wild Mushroom Broth. Salad: Kale, greens, grapes, tastiness Mains: Toasted quinoa with mushrooms and veg. Cauliflower pakoras over a rice curry Palate cleanser: Raspberry sorbet on top of pistachios and cocoa nibs Dessert: mini churros with mole sauce and a tasty sorbet Treat: quince jelly candies (sans gelatin of course) There was so much attention to detail and little extras contained in each dish I could blather on forevah. It was really lovely to have such care and talent in each course! Our waiter, Ike, was fantastic. That's really all I can say! He took extra special care of us and was always on the ball. Genuinely friendly and a pleasure to interact with. Thank you for an outrageously ahmazing dining experience!!!! I will definitely be back the next time I hit up Tofino. read more

Totally blown away by the amazing meal we had at The Pointe Restaurant. The service and quality we experienced at the restaurant during dinner far surpassed what we experienced in the hotel itself. The location was stunning: perched atop a scattered rock formation and poised to usher in relentless ocean waves and the pink-blue haze of a glorious sunset, The Pointe's decor was posh enough to be a classy, yet understated enough to let the natural beauty of the Pacific surroundings take the main stage. Our service was impeccable; the best waitress I've ever had. Every dish she set down, she described in fine detail from memory, allowing everyone at the table hear each other's selections, as though we were all at a museum learning about the history behind each plate. This may sound tedious, but she had such a likeable and graceful manner, it was completely welcomed and entertaining. I started with the bitter greens salad, a delicious selection of arugula, cabbage, kale and cheddar cheese dusted in fine pork cracklings. Savory, sharp, bitter and vinegar flavors sustained my interest through every bite. Missing my daily doses of vegetables at home, I chose the fall vegetable stew as my entree. It was honestly spectacular, the highlight being the copious hazelnuts that added brilliant flavor and texture. Although completely vegetarian, the meal was rich and bold -- everyone at the table commented on the deliciousness of the broth. It left me satisfied without feeling stuffed. I tried a bite of my husband's wild-caught salmon and it was like butter. Clean in flavor and not overly salted, the unadulterated taste of fresh fish was the most prominent taste, which was sublime. Our dessert was a combination of cedar-flavored ice cream (amazing!) and chocolate. Unique and delectable combination. By far the best place that we ate a meal in Tofino, The Pointe Restaurant deserves top marks for location, ambiance, food and service. You can't ask for much more than that. It's expensive, but it's expected to be so. Go for dinner, be adventurous with the menu. If I could go back, I'd order off the tasting menu (6 small courses for $80). read more

The Pointe Restaurant had one of the most amazing views you're going to get... I assume anyway. We were there late in the evening hoping to catch a sunset but it had been a rainy day. We ended up staring off into the fog of the Pacific. That doesn't mean the view isn't there though. ;) Staff are extremely pleasant, even asking if we had any food allergies when I made the reservation, and later remembering it when we arrived. Nice touch for sure. One thing I really didn't care for had nothing to do with the restaurant. It is a beef I have with the website version of the menu. No prices listed at all. When you look at the prices for the Wikaninnish Inn itself, and then don't see any prices on the menu it raises some big red flags. I honestly almost didn't go here just because of that. It implies an "if you have to ask you can't afford it" attitude, and I hate that. So for everyone's information, here are some rough price ranges for the dinner menu. Entrees - $29-$37 Appetizers - $18-$25 Cocktails - $9+ About the dinner itself... I had some carrot pasta halibut shellfish sausage dish, very good. Unusual carrot theme is welcome through-out The crab perogies were decent, but very over powered by the picked onions that they cone with. If the crab was supposed to be the star, it wasn't. I would recommend the oysters instead. They're some of the best I've had. read more

This is, obviously, a special occasion place. Great view, great space. Food was mostly right on and the mains in particular were spot on - fish cooked perfectly, spiced perfectly. Our server was fantastic and even gave us a great hiking trail tip. Desert menu was just ok and our pick, raspberry panna cotta, was just ok (it really was not a panna cotta). Wine list is awesome. Have a celebration here! read more

What's not to like about this place. Friendly staff, great food, good wine list and spirits, they were extra friendly to my 4 yr old, and the view......f%#k me that view!! I have 4 stars because I felt the desserts were lacking in creativity and flavor given the talent of the kitchen staff and what we experienced with our meal. We will be back next year! read more

We've done brunch at the Pointe before and made the mistake of eating there for dinner just recently. Without the (beautiful) view it's not worth the price. We made reservations months in advance and like many have said our table location was not in a great spot. I understand that happens. But when the group from the bar sat down behind us it kind of felt like pub night. But like, not a good pub night. read more

In this restaurant everything is perfect, not only the view and the food but also the service. They took care of me and my friend more than greatly. You can feel the staff (waiters and managers) are there for you but their presence isn't overwhelming - they won't bother you every minutes by asking you how is your dish. I highly recommend this place, and if you can spend a night or two in this Relais & Chateau, it's even better read more

The website insists that "smart casual" is the appropriate attire...so my boyfriend and I arrived for the lunch hour with only slight reservations that our uber-casual attire would render us unfit for a meal at The Pointe. Not the case, we were welcomed like old friends. We were seated next to the windows that offer tremendous views of the ocean and beaches surrounding the restaurant...but this review isn't about the view. It's about the delicious fish. I like variety and sometimes that means that the menu doesn't do it for me. However, at The Pointe I was able to make a meal combination that was not on the menu without issue. The fish was done perfectly: a very, very light coating which allowed the flavor of the fish to come through beautifully. I paired a piece of the fish with the chowder which was tasty as well. A side of sourdough with "house-churned" butter made my lunch hearty and delicious. Come for lunch. It will not disappoint. read more

We ate at the Pointe for breakfast and dinner, and both were excellent. This is probably the most formal restaurant in Tofino (though still pretty relaxed). The views are amazing with 180 degrees of windows surrounding you right above the crashing waves. The bar is outstanding and the cocktails were quite impressive. Both meals were really well presented and prepared with excellent seafood selection of course! For breakfast, I had "chicken fried mushroom and waffle" which was really unusual but savory and delicious! Definitely a great special occasion restaurant or for a lovely brunch! read more

Best place to eat in Tofino! We stayed at the Wickaninnish Inn and the Pointe Restaurant is right on site. It has beautiful views of the beach and ocean. The service is excellent and the attention to detail is awesome. The food overall is delicious. We tried the tasting menu with the wine pairing one night but actually preferred the a la carte. My favorite dish over all were the scallops. My favorite dessert was the sunchoke & pear velouté - blue cheese semifreddo and walnut toffee from the tasting menu and it was absolutely divine. I still dream about it. We ate there for all of our brunches and everything we ate was awesome to a traditional farmer's breakfast, fisherman's breakfast, dungeness crab benedict, and ancient grain porridge. They try their best to accommodate me being gluten free and I appreciate their effort even though it's not quite the same. We also did room service and the menu is this restaurant. They asked us if we were celebrating anything and my boyfriend mentioned my birthday in passing without thinking or expecting anything. They came out with chocolates and a candle. It added for a special birthday weekend getaway for sure. We will be back and have already told all of our friends! read more

Wow wow wow The view is paranomatic and dynamic!! Being in Tofino for a day, we wanted to eat out at a nice restaurant for breakfast. Yelping through all the reviews and found this place. We had freshly squeezed juice, smoked salmon & regular eggs benedicts. The benedicts were so good. I asked for soft poached and the eggs were perfect^^ The potato was tasty, little crunchy outside, and moist inside. The hollandaise sauce was a heavy kind but more citrusy than usual benedict. Good match! After we ate, we went to the beach and walked a little bit. We had a good time. Will stop by here again when we are in town. Thank you!!! read more

This place has amazing service. I've been to a few other fine dining places, and none of them held a candle to it in this regard. The staff was consistently attentive to our every need. We did feel that the menu was a little limited for us, as vegetarians. We ate there two nights in a row, and the second night several of the dishes were duplicated, though they were fabulous, so I can't complain too much. And to be fair, the chef did prepare a special tasting menu for us the second night, since the regular tasting menu was all meat based. read more

Amazing views that come with you well done meal! The service is amazing and their view of the ocean/beach is by far the best I've seen in Tofino. I ordered a BBQ Pork breakfast sandwich and my boyfriend had the fish and chips. The fish and chips were excellent and the sandwich is above average. Came here for amazing service, great views, quality food and we didn't break the bank. Will definitely come back! read more

Two reviews: Breakfast and Dinner. The view is 5 star, totally mesmerizing and the best I've experienced on the West Coast from BC to BC (Baja Calif to British Columbia). Breakfast was simply awesome. You can spend as little as 5 bucks for a nice Red River up to $21 for mushroom Benedict. Great low key service and simply fantastic food and coffee to start the day - 5 stars! Dinner: Same service kicked up a notch. The food was wonderfully prepared down to the details. My problem is it took me forever to decide on a cocktail from the extensive list - so many unique choices. My other issue is that the food is so complex that at times it was a challenge to comprehend. So many ingredients and so many flavors. The chocolate for desert was excellent. 3.5 stars. read more

Put this on your "bucket list" . . . order the multi-course tasting menu for a three-hour dining experience, not to be forgotten . . . . We indulged ourselves in the eight course tasting menu, which is actually an 11 course dinner if you count the amuse-bouche, palate cleanser and mini-tart finish ($140 per person). This menu changes weekly, but March 16th we enjoyed course after course with the crashing ocean surf and sunset as our backdrop: Shellfish amuse-bouche Albacore tuna in mushroom powder Sablefish in spiced honey Seared Tofino halibut Braised lamb tongue Celery sorbet palate cleanser Roasted bison ribeye Avonlea cheese and brioche with relish Carmelia tart with bitter lemon ice cream Cranberry mini-tart Each course is paired with a recommended glass of fine wine (mostly BC) using their Enomatic system, which keeps the bottle fresh for a month. The 2 oz. glasses are expensive though, averaging around $9, so I only opted in for three courses. The chefs have made a wonderfully creative, fresh menu featuring high quality local and BC sourced ingredients. Each course was presented like art work with carefully prepared accompaniments. Truly a divine culinary adventure, especially the fish and seafood courses. The only critique was that the lamb tongue was a bit too adventurous for my taste (gamey flavour and weird texture), and the ribeye was chewy with the hay and brown butter jus too subtle for bison. The balance was a joy to behold - exceptional plating, tasting, and perfectly cooked. The service is both formally attentive and casually welcoming, not pretentious. The restaurant has a dreamy, commanding view of the beach and ocean surf, with a warm wood-based interior. Frette linens finish the tables. This is a destination restaurant I'd recommend for both tourists and Vancouver Islanders. read more
