Six Course ~100 Mile Tasting Menu
The menu here is quite concise. I have a feeling that they took that menu and made everything perfect. We had a great time here and this is why.
The menu is interesting with perfectly prepared dishes and excellent wine pairings.
‘NORTH ARM FARM’ BEETROOT SALAD
‘farm house’ goats’ cheese cannelloni, hazelnut mulch
The dishes were well thought out and I loved the fact that everything is made with local ingredients.
VANCOUVER ISLAND MANILA CLAMS
ramp butter, white wine, celery & celeriac.....great tases)))))))))))))))))
FRASER VALLEY DUCK PROSCUITTO
endive salad, averill creek blackberry gastrique
Truly lovely. North Arm Farm beetroot salad festooned,
All angles covered, atmosphere, view, ambiance, sweet waitress, amazing and beautifu food.
FRASER VALLEY ROAST PORK
potato rosti, warm bacon & cabbage salad,
apricot & hazelnut gremolata .
FRASER VALLEY ROAST PORK
Farmhouse goat cheese cannelloni and hazelnut mulch~
Plum and apple semifreddo floods mouth-caves with dulcet waves of sweet dessert. While taste buds revel in the flavours, eyes can drink in panoramic views of both the water and urban Sasquatches afforded by the multilevel dining room’s floor-to-ceiling windows.
The food is amazing! Each dish is truly exquisite.
They're one of the first restaurants to create their menu from locally sourced and grown ingredients. 
They were also featured on the 100 mile challenge show on Food Tv .
Our meal was magnificent! I've enjoyed it very much. The portion doesn't seem too big, but by the time I've finished my dessert, I was stuffed.
That's how it should be! I hate to drop a bunch of $$$ at a restaurant only to leave hungry and unsatisfied.
This place rocks, and I'll be sure to come back here at night time .
Great place for a romantic dinner, and just around the corner from the seawall walk.
I'd recommend experimenting with the different appetizers since each one is unique and different. And do not forget desert for pete's sake!
