Manor Dining — Restaurant in Salt Spring Island Electoral Area

The Manor was an exquisite experience, from the initial approach walking down the wooden stairs from the parking lot, alongside the trees and beautiful harbour view, past the quaint door of The Snug, into the warm environs of our comfortable table accompanied by a friendly hostess who sat us.

The meal was absolutely delicious—definite nuances of Swiss in the tasting (especially with my mushroom soup du jour and also the more subtle green peppercorn jus). My wife’s Caesar’s salad did not disappoint—nor did her wild mushroom and spinach cannelloni with pesto cream sauce. And my grilled beef tender medallion with Swiss Gruyère potatoes was cooked perfectly and off the charts.

Our server Jonah was appropriate and excellent, and the whole experience at large was a wonderful way to spend my wife’s birthday (especially topped off with that Swiss carrot cake and coffee), extra special flavours for her because she had lived in Switzerland for two years some time ago.

What a treat! We were staying on a boat and decided to spoil ourselves with dinner at The Manor Dining Room at Hastings House—and it was absolutely worth it. The setting is stunning, the service was impeccable, and the food was exceptional.

Our server, Derek, was engaging, knowledgeable, and made the whole evening even more enjoyable. We tried three different mains—scallops, canneloni, and pork schnitzel—and each one was beautifully presented and full of flavour. You could taste the care and quality in every bite.

The ambiance, the view, the attention to detail… it was all top-notch. A truly memorable evening and a highlight of our Salt Spring Island visit....

I ordered the Shepherd’s Pie. It was covered in cheese as opposed to mashed potatoes. There was no mention of this on the menu. I do not like cheese on my Shepard’s Pie. I like potatoes. If they wanted to put cheese on my Shepard’s Pie they should have called it Shepard’s Ravioli. I mentioned my cheeses concern to our server whose only concern was that I did not know what the name of the cheeses was. He enlightened me. I was very grateful for his service. Aside from cheeses-gate, I was very pleased with the ambience and the grounds of the Manor were very beautiful. I would go back in...
