Locals - Courtenay

Great food, great environment. Pre appetizer sample (which was great and complimented by the house white wine), appetizer (artisan bread oysters- which the pairing sauce was amazing.)ending with main (beef tenderloin paired with potatoes, beautifullyplaced leeks, and delicious blue cheese topper, with red onion and blue cheese marmalade paired is magnificent topped with adelicious demi glaze. Worth a visit.

This is one of the the best restaurants we've visited in the last couple of years. Our selection includes Seared Scallops Pork Belly, Miriam's Vegetarian Cakes, and Chorizo Crusted Sablefish. We really like the use of squash and black bean purées. Theservice was excellent. We did not sit in the garden as it was a bit cold, but we had a view of the garden. If this was inVancouver, if would have been booked weeks in advance and I would visit regularly for the Miriam's Vegetarian Cakes.

A lovely atmosphere, well worth the price for that special event. I went early evening so it was pleasantly quiet. If one thing could be improved, it would be to warm the bread appetizer and/or use softened butter

An exquisite experience! Walking through a delightful garden area complete with sweet bunnies; entering into the charming interior exuding warmth, this will be a favorite for every occasion. The Jumbo Prawns Scallop Thai Curry are beyond words!Perfectly cooked, scrumptiousness in every bite. Impeccable service and added delights as we were served a smoked salmon canape'and a decadent chocolate truffle. Welcome surprises to a stellar evening. Don't miss out on fabulous locally sourced cuisineprepared to perfection!

What a find! This is one of my favourite breakfast lunch spot in town AAA if you haven't tried it you really must.
