Absolutely stunning space complemented by outstanding service from our waiter Thomas, who expertly walked us through the menu that highlights all local ingredients sourced within 100km’s of the restaurant. The food was amazing, delicious, creative and beautifully presented. A must visit! Can’t wait to dine here again.

Beautiful ambiance and very attentive staff. We were a table of 6 for a family reunion. Unfortunately, my daughter's Bison meal was served lukewarm and had to be sent back. I ordered the crab wraps, which are served cold and very underwhelming in terms of taste. The halibut was somewhat dry and chewy. Others were satisfied with their fish dishes. If you want a beautiful ambiance overlooking the ocean and appreciate attentive service, you will enjoy the Brentwood Inn. If you're a hardcore foodie and expect unique, tasty dishes, you might look elsewhere.

It was really nice, however they don’t have any vegetarian options except a salad and a starter, and they weren’t able to adapt anything. The view was lovely. The food was pretty good, but portions were quite small - but delicious.

Usually the experience at the Brentwood Bay Inn pub is very good. This time it was mixed. The wait staff were very friendly while the overall staff were disorganized, especially in the kitchen. Our food took 45 minutes to be served, long after others who were seated after us and served earlier. I spoke to a server then to the manager who was very responsive, apologietic and gave us our meal compliments of the Inn.

We're had an excellent meal here. Creative and delicious food. Cocktails were great, balanced, not overly sweet (which seems to be the norm these days). Our server Derek was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped make this a wonderful night. We look forward to returning.
