The ambience is definitely part of the charm--open skied, tree trunk and branches, walls and windows to shelter us from the wind. Treehouse indeed! Our sever was stellar--knowledgeable, funny, and totally on it. Credit to the kitchen, too, for cranking out piping hot food. This place is a well-oiled machine... with a big heart. The food: --Thai curry chicken was the big winner --cheese burger and fries were on point --chicken sandwich was great; fresh salad was wonderful --grilled salmon was overcooked. Bummer. We'll be back for more (but, I'll get a burger instead of overcooked salmon).

The first night my wife and I had scallops for appetizers and herb crusted Wild pacific salmon for the entrees. Their fish were cooked to perfection and the accompaniments were an enhancement as opposed to a dominating force. The second night I had escargot and my wife had the beet and goat cheese salad. We both loved our appetizers. The shepherds pie was good although I found the cheese on top of the mashed potatoes was neither necessary nor authentic, but it was still quite good. My wife had the duck confit which she liked very much. The ambiance is one of a country English cottage which felt cozy and warm and the servers were personable and solicitous without hovering. I'm guessing as good as most of the restaurants in town (Hastings House lies just outside the main strip).

Started out with lobster bisque (with a good amount of lobster) and a dozen snails (chef slipped a couple extra!) in a marvelous garlic butter and Parmesan sprinkled over all. Then for entree we enjoyed a wonderfully prepared Herb Crusted Wild Pacific Red Snapper With Creamy Parmesan Polenta, Basil Pesto. I enjoyed the Pan-Seared Nova Scotia Deep Sea Scallops on a fresh bed of lettuce mix and greens. So definitely a restaurant to try but you'll want to plan staying a night or two given they are on an island off the Vancouver island!

I went to this cafe and asked one of the staff nicely,(not sure he's the owner or the staff) can I wash my dogs leg in your washroom? The staff didn't say"sorry you can not" or "this washroom is for people only". Instead, he looked me in the eyes and said: "not possible!" I don't understand how you can run a business with such attitude to your customers. Maybe because you guys are the only cafe nearby, so you talk with whatever attitude you want. Anyway, we didn't order any food or drinks from this place, because the attitude is already fed me up. Hope you guys will run out of business in no time.
