Best Date Night Restaurants in Sidney

First time coming here. Wonderful service. Ambience is perfect. My husband and I totally loved their brussel sprouts(the char is perfect and the sauce is sublime) and beef tartare (love the cracker underneath the tartare and the flavouring with the egg yolk is amazing). 10/10 King salmon for one of the entrees is also perfect. The fish texture is wonderful, just cooked right. The sauce is the showstopper basically elevating the dish. 10/10 Mushroom risotto- we loved the taste but the consistency is not what we expected from a risotto. Otherwise, flavour is on point. 8/10 Roasted pork belly- my husband rates it at 7/10. He loved the pork belly itself but didn’t feel the puree properly complemented the meat. I would also rate it at 7/10 but mostly because i thought it would be crispier or at least have crispy edges but i do love the puree and the chicharonnes with it. Lastly my husband and I got the salted caramel pot de creme. Loved it. 10/10. Not too sweet. Loved the texture with the vanilla breton on top. My husband also got the Americano to finish, wonderful and superb as he said it. 10/10. Definitely will come back here and try their other dishes. ❤️

Excellent food, with huge attention to detail. This is our 3rd or 4th experience at Alelier. One minor glitch with overcooked seabass on the Valentine's Day menu, they kindly adjusted the bill without us asking. Everything else was 8.5/10 minimum, two courses were flawless. Outstanding service from the waitress. Small square footage, so can be loud from conversation/mixing drinks. Perhaps some sound baffling could be installed. Music style + level was just right, one of the attractions. Be great to have more "set menus", it takes the stress out of choosing, permitting Matt to focus on high quality dishes, his forte. Well done guys, we will be back!!

Great food and atmosphere. The wine prices could use an adjustment, quite high prices by the glass.

Wow! Excellent tea, scrumptious sandwiches and desserts and a wonderful ambience. Elizabeth was attentive and extremely professional. High Tea is a must do if you are at the Butchart Gardens.

We came out for dine out and were really impressed with the quality and presentation for casual Mexican familia dining. The room decor was really warm and well done (feeling more upscale) and loved the quirky cat theme accents everywhere (bring your cat lover friends here). The drinks are witty and strong and so many umami good food moments. The sable fish tacos (you get 4 tortillas and the portion is generous) was melt in your mouth. I look for read to coming back for me.
