I only feel the price is for fine dining, but the food and service is not fine dining at all.We came for dinner yesterday, order a appetizer (seafood shack), two entree(beef cheek and seafood pasta) and cheese pizza for kids. The restaurant is not that busy, tables were empty, but it’s very very slow. The appetizer came at 19:21, and the entrees came at 19:52. And most unacceptable is the mussels in the pasta is very not fresh. I told my server that the mussels in the pasta are very bad, very not fresh. The sever just say “Thank you for letting me know”, and then he go, then nothing else happened. No explanation, no apologies, nothing.

Kid free date night with husband. Was looking to be spoiled by flavourful food, and Locals succeeded in doing that. Sat on the patio, shaded and comfortable. We shared Beaver Meadow Farms Beef Carpaccio my favorite, and could eat this as my meal, mmm capers). Hubby had Jumbo Prawns Scallop Thai Curry and I enjoyed the Lois Lake Steelhead Salmon Risotto. Our waiter suggested the salmon risotto while I was looking at the mushroom risotto, and it was solid advice. Prior to our food, we enjoyed a petite savory bite from the chef and finished or with a lucious chocolate petite desert also complimentary). Just the experience we needed!

It was lovely to sit outside and witness the local wildlife such as geese flying overhead and a playful baby bunny across the lawn. I was not overly impressed with my $44 chicken dinner. It was good, but not great. The desert on the other hand was excellent and reasonably priced, for a nice restaurant. I had the seasonal pie with lavender gelato and it was to die for. Overall lovely experience, but I likely won’t return with the current dinner menu.
