We had the most amazing dinner last night! All 6 of us raves about our meal, thank you Roland and co! You’re killing it✊🏼❤️
This has been at least my 10th visit to Illuminate Restaurant over the past decade, and it remains one of my favourite places to dine!
I love the diverse range of options on their menu and how accommodating they are for young families like mine.
My favourite appetizer has to be the mushroom soup! Tonight, we ordered the halibut from their specials menu, and it was delicious, with a lovely creamy flavour. The potatoes were seasoned just right, even earning a “Yummy!”...read full review

Great food, a bit stuffy and expensive.
