Dining

Authentically Local. From the sea, from local farmers, from the forest, from our own gardens…


Executive Chef Troy Fogarty and staff invite you to enjoy the warm atmosphere, friendly service, and fresh, creative West Coast cuisine in our oceanside restaurant or summer patio — all with one of the best views in the Pacific Northwest.

We’re committed to bringing you the bounty of Vancouver Island. The surrounding waters are famed for salmon, halibut, sablefish, shrimp, crab, mussels, oysters, clams, and  even more choice seafood.

In our mild climate we can grow a vast range of vegetables, fruits, and herbs… to say nothing of the wild foods that pop up without anyone’s help. We know the farmers and foragers who supply us.

The beauty of the Island attracts people who aim to produce truly wonderful food, and their cheeses, breads, meats, and poultry prove that they’re doing just that.

Add the finesse of a seasoned Executive Chef who grew up on Vancouver Island and honed his skills at some of BC’s destination restaurants, and you know you’ll be savouring the best this region has to offer.
