Have visited a few times and every time the food and service is amazing! My only disappoint I would say is the lack of clarity with the hours not being updated. I came up the week after Christmas which is there off season and turns out that goes till the end of January! Just wish it was more clear on google. Otherwise it a place I rave about!

Called the day before to ensure a table by the window for two. Was greeted at the door by Daniel who was also our waiter for lunch.
I ordered the daily feature which was a Roast Beef eggs benedict served on a freshly made Yorkshire pudding that was Totally Amazing!
Through out the meal Daniel was 100% attentive in a very good way - non obtrusive, never interrupting the flow of conversation with my luncheon guest, but everytime he passed I noticed he kept an eye on our table to see if we needed anything.
I'm a retired Air Force Pilot and have travelled far and wide and this meal was very good, but the service was the absolute best I have ever had.
Well Done, The Vine, and Thank you Daniel for truly Outstanding service.

We had the brunch of a seafood crepe and an eggs Benny with roast beef on top of a Yorkshire pudding with sauce. The food and service was so delicious we came back for supper. They did not disappoint!

I have been very grateful to be eating Danny's food for over two decades now. His culinary skills were honed in Brussels Belgium and we are fortunate to have him here with us in the Cowichan Valley as it's best traditional French Chef. I was a red seal chef, trained by french masters and I can tell you that the food collection at the Vine presents you with a very rich - old school - traditional French culinary experience. His sauces are second to none and every day presents a new collection of specialties that shows off his ingenuity and creativity. If you haven't tried his cooking then you are missing out ! ps.. his calamari is to die for ....and chocolate taurine OMG yes ❤️

Ordered the fried oysters and they were terrible. The waitress took a long time to check up on our table and when I finally told her I was unhappy with my order I asked if I could just replace it with the clam chowder. 15 minutes passed and the rest of my family was finished their meals. I asked the waitress to cancel my soup. When the bill came I asked my boyfriend if we were charged for the oysters and we were. When the waitress came to collect payment I asked if we could remove the item from the bill. She said it’s a popular item and we don’t refund just because you took a risk and didn’t like it. I asked to speak to a manager and he told me they do in fact refund food. When I told him our waitress specifically said they didn’t and was very rude to me he called me a liar. Terrible customer service!!! I strongly advise you to treat people better as there are many other restaurant options in the area and you will lose business to friendlier establishments!

We had a lovely lunch at The Vine. The patio was delightful, the fish and chips were delicious, and the service was great. Someone tried to tell us they were short-staffed, but we didn’t believe them.
