I booked a dinner for my husband and me plus 2 dear friends visiting from Denver, Colorado. I was unable to attend due to a medical emergency, so the 3 of them went. The dinners and wines were delightful and the waiter/somellier from Montenegro was excellent. Provence Marinaside was the first restaurant that I took them too some 20 years ago. They remembered it in detail when they arrived for the reservation.

This has become our Boxing Day ritual! We find that it always exceeds our expectation when it comes to taste and service and atmosphere. It is well worth the drive and having to pay for parking coming all the way from Maple Ridge. Highly recommend it to everyone.

We had a very friendly waiter, take about services with a smile, he has done it above and beyond and is a joy to see. The ambience is there, right around the bar area and we can see the bartender focusing on making his concoctions with care and love. The food is excellent especially the apple tartan with the added touch of vanilla ice cream!
