Good ingredients + talented chef = execellent meal! Service is impeccible and of course the best wine list in town. This place is wonderful from New Years Eve to a special dinner with friends, relaxing dinner with spouse or a nice lunch, any day of the week or any time of year. While this is an upscale venue, you will... More

This place is out of the way and without a GPS I wouldn't have found it, but wow was it worth the effort. Beautiful outdoor patio overlooking the lake, impressive friendly service, reasonable prices, and of course fantastic food. I also liked their drink menu which had a number of specialty drinks for cocktails. The prices were very reasonable for... More

Good meal. Quiet and gorgeous setting. Appetizers and desserts outdo the main course which was a bit bland, halibut and chicken. Prix fixe 3 course table d'hôte a good choice. Wine list interesting for British Columbia choices.

What a nice discovery - great food and service, beautiful location on the lake. We will gp back soon.

Excellent place to dine. A hidden gem in Nanaimo. 3-course meal was delicious and well-priced. Good wine list. Small plates on Wednesdays a nice alternative to a full meal.

This jewel of a restaurant on Westwood Lake is a wonderful spot for lunch or dinner with a lovely view of the lake. The food is great and although it is a bit out of the way on Arbot Rd it is well worth the effort to go there. A great addition to Nanaimo.

My wife, son and his girlfriend and myself went here recently and were treated to a wonderful dining experience. The staff were spot on and Gatean was a delight. The food was spectacular and well presented. All of our requests were handled courtesly. We had a wonderful time and will return as we live close by.

This restaurant definitely stands out from the generic okay restaurants that Nanaimo is full of. The food is top-notch as is the service, ambience and location. Due to its out of the way location, I often forget about it when thinking of where to go out.
