Since
Chef May created the table d'hote traditon in 1997, it has become as much a part
of resort life as whale watching and paddling the sound.
Each evening,
resort Chefs create set menus* that best highlight fresh ingredients brought to
them daily by local growers, producers and markets.

Typically, the table d'hote menu begins with a choice of soups, followed by
an appetizer or salad. Then, a palate refresher leads into a choice of three fabulous
mains, and of course, the finish is sweet.
Each table d'hote course
is perfectly paired with a gorgeous British Columbia wine - many limited release
offerings to resort guests only.

Resort guests have come to love the
informed presentation of the pairings, and learning about B.C's wealth of award-winning
wines.
