“I would highly recommend ignoring the previous low ratings and giving this place a try. All of the the recent reviews seem to be great. I had possibly the best meal of my life here in June 2025.
I went in with fairly low expectations, as Cedars, the restaurant at Tigh Na Mara, is pretty mediocre. We did the dip-and-dine package while staying at the resort, and I was not expecting much for food - frozen Sysco appies perhaps.
I was absolutely blown away. As soon as I had one bite of the first course, a spring kale salad, I knew I had massively underestimated this place. The food was OUTSTANDING, and the wine pairings were not only great, they were well priced (relative to similar menus elsewhere).
I see there are a few people complaining about portions. It's bottomless - eat more! I'm a pretty big guy, with a pretty big appetite, and I would have been perfectly happy with the set menu. Of course I ordered a few extra courses because the food was so incredible, but I left very very full.
The spring/summer 2025 menu is fresh, local, playful, and expertly executed. There are fermented and picked foods, lots of seafood, some bright fruit sauces paired with savory meats, and some earthy fungi dishes. I could see a person who likes frozen spring rolls and well-cooked steak with ketchup finding some of the dishes a little intimidating, but anyone who enjoys fine dining, beyond basic meat and potatoes, will likely be thrilled with the dishes.
The citrus and cream dessert paired with Inniskillin Ice Wine was so good it literally brought tears to my eyes!
As far as I'm aware, there is nothing else in Parksville that even comes close to this caliber of food.
On top of all this, our server, Drew, was great. He was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic.
The only thing I didn't love is the fact that you have to eat wearing your robe from the spa. This isn't Bruch and mimosas, it's an elevated dining experience, and I would prefer to not feel the wind blowing on my bits and bobbles. That said, if I would happily do this again wearing only an adult diaper if I had to!
10/10
Treat yourself and make a reservation.“
