It's with heavy hearts that we have decided to permanently close Sea Glass. Thank you all for your love of the restaurant through the years and sharing your birthdays, anniversaries, engagements and even weddings with us. Unfortunately, the cost of doing business has increased three-fold, if not more since we took it over in September 2022 and although we could put our prices up, we don't feel right charging what we would have to even break even. Sea Glass is not alone - all restaurants are struggling and it won't be long before a burger and fries will be over $30. We hope to see you around town and again, thank you all!

    A fabulous and festive Christmas evening at the Butchart Garden dining room. We were welcomed so warmly by staff and given a spectacular table overlooking the gardens. What an amazing ambiance on a cold winter evening. We both enjoyed soup (mushroom & French Onion) for starters and they were excellent. Our main course was beautifully prepared AAA Alberta Beef Tenderloin which was also outstanding. We finished the evening off with dessert and coffee - also a sweet treat and lovely way to end our dining experience. Thanks to Travis and Natalie for making this a special culinary experience.

    Really enjoyed a nice dinner at the Arbutus room after walking around Buchart Gardens. Burrata appie was outstanding, the Calabrian chilli in there was the perfect touch! For my main I had the scallops and risotto, it was fantastic, such a great array of mushrooms in the risotto, it was seasoned perfectly! So nice to have some dishes with flavour finally!! (I find most restaurants don’t season enough). The ambiance was perfect with the live jazz music. Love the room, the light fixtures are beautiful, the service was fantastic. My water glass was always full, cutlery switched out between courses. Just such a wonderful experience, we enjoyed every bit of it and we will be back for more for sure! We don’t venture out to Brentwood Bay often, but I will make more of an effort to get out there because this restaurant was fantastic!

    We went to Glo for an early Christmas Eve dinner and it was lovely. The ambiance in the restaurant for the season was beautiful. Our waiter was knowledgeable and very personable. There were three of us, all ordering a different entree and all three were very good and beautifully presented. We all ordered dessert and they too were delicious. I personally ordered the bread pudding and it was the best I have ever tasted - I am still talking about that bread pudding! All in all it was exactly the experience we had hoped to have for Christmas Eve.
