Had a great family dinner here. The chef’s specials looked very good that day so I had to get one of them. I had the pasta puttanesca, which was amazing!

We've heard good things about Illuminate and finally visited, and we weren't disappointed! Great service from start to finish, from the host to our server Sarah. The food was delicious - grilled calamari with pickled fennel, lamb sirloin with risotto and t-bone steak with scalloped potatoes and vegetables. Citrus creme brulee was yummy! Sarah was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive, she went above and beyond. We will be back.
The best restaurant in town! Everything is delicious. Must try the gnocchi with bolognese sauce or the goat cheese pasta. Beef carpaccio is phenomenal as well.

Has the feel and cook of Il Giardino downtown. Tsawwassen's higher end Italian and modern food Always an intimate feel.

We love the short ribs and the veal pacata so much we drive in from Vancouver to eat here ! One of the best bolognese sauces that we usually have on the gnocchi instead of their cheese sauce.

Hidden gem in Tsawwassen. Worth the trip for a great experience with fantastic inventive appies, spectacular pasta dishes with large selection of mains and a dotting staff. Wine selection was perfect as well as a strong bartender talents shown with a mix of accompanying drinks. Desserts were perfect way to end a heavenly meal. Highly recommend and worth a 6 stars ?
I can't say enough about this restaurant. Since I live on Vancouver Island, I've only had the ability to go twice, but every single dish and drink we have had has been nothing short of perfect. Such a beautiful atmosphere, clean, comfortable, and fancy-ish but relaxed. The drinks are amazing. And the then the food... Quite literally the best food I have ever eaten, anywhere! You can tell the chef and kitchen take their time and take pride in what they are serving. It's outstanding. We have a reservation booked a couple weeks from now and I cannot wait!!
Been here twice now, and both times have been just lovely. The restaurant is soo pretty and the food and drinks were amazing. Service was fantastic both times.
