Great tasting, well presented dishes. I found the pricing is very reasonable for the quality. I loved the house made sausages. Stunning view from many tables. Although you can't reserve specific tables, the staff try to offer everyone a decent view. At times this means a table with a better view is left empty, if it means the restaurant runs more efficiently. Makes sense. Service was prompt and professional.

We have been there for special occasion meals in the past and have enjoyed it very much. This time was not as great. About 10 or 15 minutes after we ordered, I was told that they had just run out of the entree I ordered, so I chose another dish (which was much more expensive). It took another ~30 minutes for our food to arrive. There was nothing wrong with the food but I wasn't wowed by it either. I guess I shouldn't expect scallops on the west coast to be as fabulous as they are in Nova Scotia, but they should be better than what I can make at home.

Our dinner at Alpina Restaurant was fantastic. We had the sourdough bread to start and it was baked perfectly with a nice serving of garlic butter and olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Our dinners were the prosciutto wrapped sablefish as well as the duck breast. Both were prepared and presented beautifully. Our server, Molly was so terrific as was the manager, Jack. We spent time sitting at the bar after our meal where the bartender, Keiren was doing an incredible job of preparing the drinks as well us carrying on a great conversation with us. I would highly recommend the Alpina Restaurant.

Celebrating our birthdays at the Villa was wonderful! We had dinner Saturday evening and brunch Sunday morning. Highly recommend! Both meals were lovely and the service was outstanding. My husband said the schnitzel was a bit overdone, but the taste was fabulous.

The Filet and Lobster was incredible. The green salad for an appetizer had some great flavor and texture. We shared an extremely tasty turtle cheesecake dessert. The only thing that could hold a candle to the dinner was the extensive wine availability. They have an incredibly good selection of fine wines. The Alpine takes flavours to the next level. We're fortunate to have this high caliber dining on Vancouver Island.

My hubby and I have eaten here more times than I can count. The food is incredible every single time, as is the atmosphere and the views, but what keeps us coming back is the staff. Jack and Kim, Isabella who we finally got to see again after several months of missing each other, and the other staff, make us feel like family every time we walk in. Alpina is, hands down, our go-to for any meal out.

We waited over an hour for our brunch food. The waitress was very pleasant and the delay wasn’t her fault but we would have appreciated being told that the kitchen was backed up. She did offer a latte on the house which we appreciated. However we were told they were just “plating” the food and then had to wait a further 10 plus minutes. The food when it finally came was okay but the prices are expensive and warrant good service. Also had to catch an extra charge on the bill of $5 for a substitution of avocado for sausage. Disappointing visit.

Went for brunch with a few friends. The food was good but not quite the level I’d expect for the price (cappuccino came out with no foam, huevos rancheros were good but were barely warm, both of the benny’s my friends ordered came out with a hard yolk when poached soft and medium was requested - makes me think the food was sitting under the warmer for too long). Other than that the venue was beautiful, the view was outstanding, and our server was excellent. This was my first and only time eating here so not sure if it was a one off - may try again for brunch or dinner.
