The food and service were amazing. We had the vodka pasta as an entree and it’s is plenty to share between 2 or even 3. We also had the scallops - oh my goodness. The chicken main dish was not our favourite but the eye filler and mash were the best I have had on the GC. You can not fault the wine selection or the service.

We arrived expecting a buffet, and were politely told by the host it was switched to al a carte. We thought we’d be disappointed but the food and service were so great! The steak was delicious and cooked sooo well, the service was lovely. We attended on Dec 16, 2024 in case you want to give the chef and host some major props!!

Our obliging and attentive waiter saved the day. The menu, ambience and value were all disappointing compared with other sanctuary cove eateries. Easy parking, vegan offerings for our diverse family and table availability have brought us here several times, I just wish it was a better experience. I think they can do way better than this.
