Une vue à couper le souffle sur la baie ! Repas très bon et service impeccable ! Petite attention avec une bougie pour l’anniversaire de mon fils ! Que demander de plus ! 🤩

I think people only come here for the view. We came with our grandma to celebrate her 90th bday and were sorrily disappointed. We ordered virgin blackberry lemonades and when the drinks came out, one had fresh blackberries while the other had frozen ones. When we tried to explain to the server that these are not the same drinks as one tastes like blackberry and one only tastes like lemonade, the waitress gave us attitude and begrudgingly took it away. After bringing this to the attention of the manager and asking for a new server so as to not ruin our event, the manager sided with the waitress in that these are the same drinks made correctly and said we cannot have a new waitress. They should microwave the frozen berries if they run out of fresh ones or not serve it. In all my years of fine dining and bartending, I assure you this would never be served.

The food was lacklustre and we awkwardly ate our food as the wait staff talked about us behind our back at the bar 10 feet away. 0/10 experience.

The pasta was flavourless and super oily, while the fish and chips were overcooked.

After trying two other restaurants we ended up here. Great decision. Service was great, the view really nice (to the bay). Drinks were tasty and food was awesome. Seems we had found a new favourite place whenever my husband has steak craving. Wish they still had the brunch buffet they used to have several years ago. That was one of my favourites too.

We went here for a special occasion for a late afternoon dinner and it was peaceful and enjoyable. The dinner selections were delectable and the plates served professional and very delicious. The servers were equally pleasant and a delight to be catered to.
The location, as demonstrated by the timelapse, is just gorgeous.
The mid afternoon is a good time to experience this wonderful place and the beauty surrounding it.

Heard many good things about this spot. Finally had an occasion to check it out and it was really great! Would like to come back during the day to enjoy the view of the water and try some other menu items!

We had a great dining experience at The Cook and Butcher today at lunch! The host and server were both so kind to us (especially to my 2.5 year old daughter), and the ceasars and entrees were delicious. You really can’t beat the view of the harbour - watching the sealions was awesome!

Overall, we had a nice meal. We had the crab dip which was nice, fish and chips, mac and cheese, chicken wings and seafood linguine. One of us had the Titan Caesar, which was enjoyed. The wings were very good. The Mac and cheese was enjoyed. The fish and chips were decent. The seafood linguine was very good. I am not able to have the cream based sauce, so I asked to have it substituted with the red sauce. It was supposed to be a roasted garlic based sauce, which is supposed to be a mellow creamy garlic flavor. Unfortunately, the garlic in my dish was burnt. I could not get over that burnt bitter taste in my mouth. Still had it an hour later.

Huge portions. Service was good. View was spectacular!
