Drive out towards Wildwood and signs will guide you. Popular licensed upstairs restaurant with water view to die for. Call 604.483.3545 for reservations.

Three meals including 3 entrees, 5 drinks, 2 appies and a shared dessert came to about $100 plus tip. Cheese bread here is the best ever comfort-food treatment for white bread. The signature Burger (good fries), Pesto Penne, and Curried Fettucine were worth the wait (7.5 points out of 10). Next time I’ll try the orange-pecan spinach salad, sesame prawns, or wasabi salmon. There are three vegetarian dishes on the menu, too: a fajita, a mexi-burger, and pesto penne.

Any wine called Sawmill Creek must be a house wine here, well priced at $5 per glass—there are three whites, three reds and a “sinfandel” (for its morning-after headache) available by the glass. By the bottle, there’s a full wine list. Soft cider is a welcome alternative for diners wanting a dry, non-alcoholic drink—made in BC, too.

Fruit crisp freshened the mouth for dessert (8 points) but was outshone by the spectacular Chocolate Confusion (9)--we would have eaten a second one if we weren’t so stuffed. Doggie bags were in order—Major gave them 8 points.
