"The service from our waitress, Cathy was phenomenal.
We tried the Chef's 4 course Tasting Menu.. Wonderful food. The Chef will come and talk to you about your likes and dislikes from the menu and make up a specail menu just for you.
1. Mussels in Curry Wine sauce; so fresh and succulent
2. Pan Seared Scallope, Lobster Risotto and Pork Belly with Maple Glaze and Raisin Chutney - every bite is so flavourful
3. Tempura Prawn and Crabcake - sounds simple but not overdone; still taste the delicacy of the meat.
4. Medium Rare Bison with XO Sauce and grilled veggies - sounds simple but the flavour and the tenderness of the meat was incredible.
Dessert - White Chocolate & Brown Butter Bread Pudding w/ Whiskey Toffee and French Vanilla Ice Cream"

"Me and my girlfriend ate here for her birthday dinner, and it was incredible. We both had the seafood chowder to start and it had great pieces of lobster and was filled with seafood. The red potatoes were perfectly cooked to have some bite and not be mushy, which complimented the soft seafood pieces. My girlfriend had the Claddagh Surf and Turf (pork belly and scallops) with an apple-raisin chutney and she loved it. I had the 10oz Blue Dot striploin with oyster jus and topped with some cooked oysters. Both of our meals were cooked perfectly, and my medium-rare steak was just that (unlike some other places I have been). Presentation of the food was great and our waitress was very nice, helpful and always nearby. Definitely will be back!!"

"Overall, this is a great restaurant! The food was amazing and our server was extremely friendly. I would recommend this to any one. However, I would not advise couples to go here for a special occasion such as a Birthday. I took my girl friend here to celebrate her birthday,I also made it clear to the server and also through email to let the restaurant know our special occasion. We did not receive a small dessert and the servers ignore the fact that it was my girlfriends Birthday. Iv'e been to restaurants that are above and below the caliber of this place and they have all provided some kind of treat for celebrating a special occasion at their restaurant. Other than this one issue, everything else was great."

"The Chef's Choice for $45 per diner was the best meal we have had in months...the 4 of us (all with very specific demands - no salmon, nothing too spicy and no lamb!) might have been a challenge for a less talented culinary team....but not the folks in the Claddagh kitchen....wonderful meal with amazing service...oysters 3 ways, steak, a whole halibut, best biscuits ever (served with molasses & butter!) and 4 totally wonderful desserts......YUMMY.....we will be back!"

"My date and I had a spectacular evening at your establishment.
Our waitress was attentive, the Chef prepared a wonderful 4 course meal, the ambiance and setting was perfect the only problem, the evening ended!
We absolutley loved the Colville Oysters, Lamb (magnificant!!) and steak.
Thank you again for a wonderful evening. We will surely be returning to your venue!
All the best in 2013
