Bennett Bay Bistro - Roberts Creek

Terrible service from the host (the older woman,) who gave our reserved table to some walks, although we arrived five minutes before the time. to justify it, she said: when people arrive, I want to sit them where they want....and I don't know if people who have reservations are coming. what is with seating places that make a table reservation? or, with a window for reservation owners (most restaurants allow a 15-minute grace period) we again here 5 minutes earlier than we were in the resort. the next night we decided to pick up some delicious delicacies from the friendly folks farm gate store and eat on the balcony.

Waited an hour and a half before we found out that they did not submit our order. service is brutal, food average. avoid this location if possible.

My wife and I booked a beachfront cottage at the Mayne Island Resort for the weekend to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. I had called ahead to the Bennet Bay Bistro, which is attached to the resort and asked for a window table for our...Saturday evening dinner, which was our anniversary day. We had also confirmed the request on Friday evening when we were in for dinner. Upon arrival, all of the window tables were taken and we we ended up sitting in a corner. The resort location is beautiful, the rooms are spacious and the restaurant food was great, but the staff's attention to detail leaves lot to be desired. Generally, I get e sense that they cater to the the local Mayne Island crowd and regulars at the fractional ownership resort.

Stopped in for lunch. Friendly staff and great service. Had the seafood chowder. It is a winner! Had a table in the front window and it was a nice clear day so the view was spectacular. Not a lot of restaurants on the island… this...is the best

The quality of the food here is top notch. I don't know how they do it but the flavours are incredible. They do run out of menu items so be prepared for that. It is a sleepy little island with select delivery times of products...so they have to work with what they have. Their drink menu is hilarious and those drinks were actually very good. People boat in from other islands just to go to this restaurant and the prices are actually very affordable!
