    The food and the service were both outstanding. There was live music played by clearly talented musicians. And of course the ambiance and decor were comfortable and beautiful.

    We really enjoyed dining at the Brentwood Bay Resort Arbutus room, firstly as the ambiance with the lighting, live latin music, fireplace and view was lovely, on a rainy cold night.The food was very fresh and really delicious and we felt we experienced a very special meal. The wait staff were very experienced and lovely and helpful.The latin guitar music was really great, as exceptional artists, but low key and perfect for relaxing and sharing with good friends. I would go back anytime. My Alberta guest were very happy I made this choice for them. Thank you!

    Beautifully prepared traditional Thanksgiving dinner served in an attractive and comfortable setting. Attentive and friendly service contributed to an enjoyable experience. Live music made the ambiance extra special. This has become our go-to restaurant for holiday celebrations.
