Hastings House - Reserva de mesa

We love dining at Hastings House. Last evening we went with friends, again anticipating a marvelous meal with impeccable service and outstanding ambiance. The ambiance is indeed wonderful, and it's a bit of British in B.C Where the performance stumbled was with the lack of follow through with a food allergy. When we made the reservation we were asked about allergies and we informed staff then. When our server took our order she indicated she was aware of the food issues. When the main dishes were served nestled under the fish was a medley of fresh vegetables, including an abundance of the offending bell peppers. The plate was sent back, and the three whose meals were correct sat back and wai...

Hands down the least appetizing dinner I've eaten on SSI. The $40 halibut entree (small portion) was lukewarm bordering on translucent with a dry bread crumb topping adding an unpleasant taste and texture, the quinoa tower side was bland and looked like a few bits of canned veggies were added in while the mushy squash mixture underneath the fish was anything but complementary. Tasteless, poorly cooked and ill conceived - how could they get it so wrong at a purportedly "fine dining establishment?" So disappointing.

I rarely push a 5 * review but the Bistro hit the mark for us last night. Impeccable and personable service without one glitch. Although the room was packed on our arrival it was neither crowded nor noisy. The view was very SSI. Our two appetizers and the SSI lamb were as fine as you can get. Right size, temperature, texture and flavor with perfect presentation. Do not forgo the desert! We are on island for only 6 nights, but despite the $$$$ rating we will be back this week.

Made a reservation several days in advance, so the Dining Room menu had our names printed on the front. Service was attentive, without being overbearing. Limited menu items. Check the web site. Each dish was an artisitic work in presentation, and very flavourful. Good expensive wine list. The alternate Bistro is more relaxed. Hastings has 18 rental room options, on garden grounds, on the beach at the end of the Ganges harbour. This place has history. Reserva una mesa ahora

Take the time to savour every morsel of this delicious food, enjoy the quirky dining room and sip on some Burrowing Owl whilst being looked after by the most attentive wait staff (Stasia is a delightful host.) We chose the $85 per head three course dinner which may put some people off but we felt that the total experience was worth the cost. Great views to cap over a lovely evening.

Pls see my hotel review posted. Unmatched service and wonderful flavours. You can tell the culinary team lead by their chef have passion and expertise that is lacking in so many places. Thank you!

Dining at Hastings House Bistro was a wonderful experience. Food was fresh, local, organic and well presented. Service was outstanding. A bit expensive but worth it considering the setting.

We had a beautiful meal, in a breezy dining room over-looking Ganges Harbor. The meal was delicious, beautifully presented, and was probably the best dinner we had on Salt Spring Island. Reserva una mesa ahora

Beautiful views, nice comfy rooms and a really great breakfast experience. Their restaurant is top notch and their staff are cheerful and accomodating.

The bistro is simpler than the high-end Relais et Chateau dining, less pretentious and less expensive. Very nice ambiance in faux 18thC-style home.
