   Reservation was easy online. On arrival, we were able to sit out on the patio, facing the lake; although it was a little windy as it often is in this area, we had no problems holding down menus and napkins. Our server (unfortunately we did not retain her name) was fabulous: not intrusive, was attentive, friendly, did not make it seem like we were rushed to finish. Drinks were made very well-I asked if the bartender could make a specific drink that was not on the menu, and he was actually excited to do it, since people apparently don't often ask for modern cocktails, and he did a great job, even improvising one of the ingredients. The food was well presented, tasted fabulous, cooked to perfection. We had tempura shrimp appetizers that had a sambal sauce drizzle that was to die for. For main course I had the steak with mushrooms and vegetables, my spouse had chicken alfredo. The pasta was homemade and my spouse loved the dish and how the chicken tasted. The portions were perfect for me and we had to doggy-bag my spouse's. For desert we had a turtle pie cheesecake, which was amazing! We were celebrating an anniversary; when our server found out, she deducted the dessert from the bill. Altogether an outstanding experience; highly recommend this restaurant.

   Great service. The view on the patio was exquisite. The food was excellent if not a bit pricy.

   We were visiting Summerland for one night at the Waterfront Resort and had lunch and a birthday dinner at Shaughnessy's Cove. Staff were friendly, professional and efficient. Food was very good and because it was my birthday, I got a cheesecake birthday cake with a sparkler! There were tv's so we could watch the NHL Playoffs as well. A pleasant day all together! Thank you.

   I ordered the tuna bowl for myself. The food was well plated and the individual food items were fresh. The problem was that the dressing was very bland. It seems that it’s all about presentation but no thought given to how the food actually tastes. Will not be returning.

   Thanks for your review Doug, and it's disappointing to hear the tuna salad fell short. I'll have a look into the prep procedures to make sure this doesn't happen again. We do try to make delicious food for all who visit us, and I'd like to prove that to you. Let me know if you'd be willing to give me that shot! Thank you again for your time.

   Basically average … we are locals and won’t be going back .. was the same last year so we gave it a try for the new season and it hasn’t improved .. very limited wine list - 4 red 4 white , and not from some of the better wineries in the region, nothing but plain old drip coffee, service that was OK but definitely not in sync as we had 3 different people at us at all different times etc…. Really need to step up their game if they want to be seen as anything more than a nice patio with average food ..

    Maybe we coincidently chose two meals that weren't up to snuff that day. We have come to expect a little better. By the way - I do object to having to use a digital assistant to make my reservations and I was especially perturbed when this system decided I needed to get a reminder to show up with a bunch of warnings about no shows. Make the reminders an option and I might use it again. Great place, great location and the staff are great too!
