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✊🏼❤️
We had another wonderful meal at your restaurant. We’ve lived in Boundary Bay for 17 years now and eaten at Illuminate ever since we moved here. It is our “go-to” for every special occasion. Though your specials looked excellent last night, we fell back on some of our favourites. Beef carpaccio and arancini for appetizers, sable fish and short rib for our mains, and finished with the tiramisu. All absolutely fantastic as usual.
