The food is well presented but tasteless, not worth the price. Service is ok, but could be more professional The only good thing about the restaurant is the nice view overlooking the marina on the patio.

Lovely spot, inventive food, delicious and could accommodate someone with celiac disease. Service was excellent. We did not take advantage of a very nice wine list.

Service was slow and long wait for orders. Waiter seemed too busy and preoccupied.arrived 6:30. Meal delivered 8:10

I was in a party of six, two members of which required hearing aides. As this was a yearly get-together, it was important that we could hear each other around the table. The setting of the Arbutus Room was ideal for our gathering, and it was a most enjoyable event. The food section and preparation, the service, and the wine selection were all top-notch.

Thai was an upsetting and under-whelming dining experience from start to finish. We were only 1 of 4 couples in the dining room and our meal took 2.5 hours total. The zucchini wrapped halibut was absolutely horrible, no seasoning and very very dry, the lingcod was flavourless and the sides were drab and no flavour. The bread and butter starter was 4 small toasted pieces with butter with little to no flavour and the pink scallops were the opposite l, they were swimming with salt. The new menu launched on June 21 is not at all what you would expect from the island. It is fall/winter menu, it focuses on game meat; boar, bison, elk, rabbit etc... These are proteins that are meant to be eaten in cooler weather, not 30 degree summertime. Really let down with the menu. The only bright side; their pub menu looks fabulous, we should have eaten there. We won't be back even though we are staying in the hotel for a few days. Thank goodness we found the seahorse cafe.

Absolutely stunning space complemented by outstanding service from our waiter Thomas, who expertly walked us through the menu that highlights all local ingredients sourced within 100km's of the restaurant. The food was amazing, delicious, creative and beautifully presented. A must visit! Can't wait to dine here again.

Beautiful ambiance and very attentive staff. We were a table of 6 for a family reunion. Unfortunately, my daughter's Bison meal was served lukewarm and had to be sent back. I ordered the crab wraps, which are served cold and very underwhelming in terms of taste. The halibut was somewhat dry and chewy. Others were satisfied with their fish dishes. If you want a beautiful ambiance overlooking the ocean and appreciate attentive service, you will enjoy the Brentwood Inn. If you're a hardcore foodie and expect unique, tasty dishes, you might look elsewhere.

My husband and I went for dinner on a Sunday evening and had a fabulous evening. Can't beat the view and food and service were both excellent!

It was really nice, however they don't have any vegetarian options except a salad and a starter, and they weren't able to adapt anything. The view was lovely. The food was pretty good, but portions were quite small - but delicious.

Usually the experience at the Brentwood Bay Inn pub is very good. This time it was mixed. The wait staff were very friendly while the overall staff were disorganized, especially in the kitchen. Our food took 45 minutes to be served, long after others who were seated after us and served earlier. I spoke to a server then to the manager who was very responsive, apologietic and gave us our meal compliments of the Inn.

Menu needs to share exactly what is in each item. Great steak but sides could be offered! I'm a meat n potatoes kinda guy! Nothing fancy. Enjoy eating there still!

We're had an excellent meal here. Creative and delicious food. Cocktails were great, balanced, not overly sweet (which seems to be the norm these days). Our server Derek was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped make this a wonderful night. We look forward to returning.

Vicki

Fabulous restaurant and Dominic, our server, was wonderful, funny, and attentive. I wish I lived closer so I could come back often. The overall hotel, Brentwood Bay Resort is outstanding!

Jakob

Didn't have the 3 course meal I booked for. Apparently they never updated the website. Service was terrible. Food was good. Food took 2 hours. Didn't do anything for my dad's birthday after I put in the description birthday. Don't know why they would ask then.
