We drove over an hour and a half from out of town for a special occasion dinner only to be totally disappointed . We had the wine and dine for two special which included a bottle of wine. The wine was excellent, the food not so much so. My salad had to be sent back to the kitchen; the oil was rancid. They brought out a fresh salad with oil and balsamic vinegar in vessels on the salad. I tasted the oil before pouring and it was, you guessed it, RANCID. The kitchen later apologized by stating that they do not taste their oil because they use it all the time. No excuse!
The second course, wasabi spring roll was good as was the smoked salmon according to my partner but I found it a little too dry.
I had the BC salmon which was good and the vegetables were nicely presented and done...not overcooked.
My partners prime rib was ordered with no horseradish but had to be returned when he cut a piece and bite into it to find ... wait ...yes horseradish! The horseradish was hidden under the meat. Again no attention to detail.. Does no one read the slips of paper or is it just an assembly line kitchen. It is not like they were busy. It gets better. The replacement prime rib came back and my partner ending up cutting out a piece of butcher string about 5 inches long. Attention to detail again!!
And for all this we were offered a free dessert. WOW!
You have to walk behind their counter to get to their washrooms . I am surprised that this allowed by the health board.
We had a good chuckle at this experince. Not a place Gordon Ramsey would recommend and nor do we.
On the plus side the service from the waiter was great and the view of Kits Beach was awesome.
