“We took my parents to Butchart Gardens to enjoy their Holiday Tea. Immediately we were hospitably greeted by a gentleman offering to hang our coats and welcomed us into the dining room. Our server Lauren was most gracious and patient as she explained the menu to us. (My parents are elderly and sometimes take a little longer to do things). We were served tea and a beautiful tiered tray of sandwiches, scones and sweets. The room was extremely calm, the music added to a relaxing atmosphere. In every way, we had a most enjoyable experience at Butchart Gardens Dining Room. We will definitely visit again.“

“Receptionist and chefs were too good. We went right before kitchen closing but they served us with Happy face. If your planning to go for lunch please go before 3pm.

They were good enough to ask the spice level. We asked for high and they prepared accordingly.“

“I love the atmosphere of the 17 Mile House Pub and the mystery of all those ghosts! Food is great and staff are always cheerful. I live in Victoria but make a point of taking a drive out regularly. I am never disappointed!“

“We stopped by Dagwoods Cafe and were absolutely blown away—not just by the food, but by the heart behind it. Elizabeth, the owner, runs the entire show herself, and she does it with such warmth and grace. You can feel the love in everything she makes. I ordered a sandwich and it was honestly one of the best I’ve had in a long time—fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Yes, it may take a little longer, but that’s only because Elizabeth is crafting each order by hand while handling everything else on her own. She’s doing an amazing job, and deserves recognition—not criticism—for her dedication. If you’re in the area, please support this incredible local business. Be patient, be kind, and you’ll be rewarded with a truly delicious meal and a meaningful experience. Thank you, Elizabeth—you’ve created something really special. We’ll definitely be back.“

“I can't say enough about how totally satisfied I was with this restaurant. I will be back for more sampling of the delicious menu choices that my family and I enjoyed.

I'm sorry to say that I can't remember my hostess' name, but thank-you for an enjoyable evening meal.“
