Review Farm Table Inn - Lake Cowichan

Arrived to chickens, roosters, sheep and ducks on the road that we had to wait for and eventually drive around. Oliver the cat greeted us as we went up to the door. Very friendly staff and an excellent wait server experience. Three of the drinks were good but too much ice in all of them. The fourth drink, a margarita, was undrinkable and a disappointment, an alternative was offered and it was taken off the bill Three of us had prime rib, I requested mine well done and sliced thinly and my request was granted. Best roast beef I have ever had. Shop was well stocked with an interesting selection of product. I will return to the shop and for further special dinners

The room was basic, clean and comfortable with a comfortable bed. The dinner we had there was great- prime rib night was excellent. The breakfast in the dining room was good and plentiful but I would skip the continental breakfast and go somewhere else. It was $15.00 a person for basically some fruit and two pieces of toast. One thing that made me realize making money was the focus was as we were leaving we bought a loaf of their delicious sour dough bread. When we asked to have it sliced they said it would be an extra charge. I mean really! We had stayed there two nights.

We had a wonderful Easter meal with family. The place is a perfect feeling of farmhouse, and cozy, modern, and warm interior. I felt like Disney had done it real, with real animals outside, and really good vegetables cooked perfectly. The fixed meal was flawless, and delicious. I don't really like vegetables, Farm Table Inn changed my mind. We left through the shop as Disney would do.This is the real thing, please try it.

Very good food and service. It was our anniversary and the chef/owner came out to see us, turns out we know him. All food was from the farm or sourced locally. Very impressed and will return.

WE had our Mum's Celebration of life event here on May 14th, nothing but great service, food was amazing! The whole event made my heart smile, Thx so much Evelyn and team! You guys are beyond amazing!. I highly recommend The Farm Table Inn for dinner or an event! Kind regards, Holly

We've never stayed at a farm before but thought it would be fun to try this time around. Thanks to Evelyn and her excellent staff, we'll do it again. We were promptly greeted for check-in and showed our room. It was modest, but clean and the beds comfortable. The weather wasn't overly warm but we still enjoyed bundling up outside on our private deck for a glass or two of wine and some cards (supplied along with other games). We had dinner here the first night and were very impressed. Our server was fantastic and up there with some we've had at fine dining restaurants in Seattle to San Francisco as well as London and Paris. The portions are ample, brilliantly prepared and we loved that they have a lot of local wines from the island. We paid for the breakfast and Evelyn's kitchen doesn't skimp out at all. There's fresh fruit, bread, enormous eggs, bacon, farm fresh potatoes... I'm getting hungry. If you're looking for something unique, friendly and with five-star dining.... book it. (We also enjoyed meeting Leroy the dog, Oliver the cat, Thelma and Louise the singing sheep, ball teams of chickens and the true boss of the house "Big Red".) A very memorable stay and our thanks to everyone there.

An absolutely delicious meal. Prime rib at it's best. Great food, great service, wonderful ambiance. We will definitely be going back!

My wife and I enjoyed a fine dinner experience for the first time since moving to the Cowichan Valley. This is truly worth a visit...great food and service!

This is the most lovely place to have dinner. We were treated to the prime rib buffet and the food, wine and service were excellent. The local theme is evident in the quality meat, seafood and vegetables as well as the wine list. I am treating myself to brunch tommorow.

Was at the Mexican buffet night and could not rate this high enough. Fresh, authentic and beautifully presented food. Amazing selection and those made to order fajitas...wow. Amazing job George, Ev and the rest of the team...I will be bringing as many people as possible to this polished restaurant and farm. 6 stars.

Our first visit (definitely won't be the last) was father's day brunch buffet! Such a charming location; very soothing atmosphere. As there isn't a lot of seats it was very homey and comfortable. Everyone was there to enjoy good food with their families. The food was so delicious...Farm fresh eggs (yolks were so golden!); homemade sausages and amazing bacon. Cinnamon infused French Toast; and those who tried it said the chowder was amazing. Many other items on the buffet but one can only eat so much... Desserts were heavenly too. Thank you Evelyn and your wonderful staff.

My wife and I stopped by this morning to see this amazing Sunday brunch that we had heard so much about. Well there was a reason that everyone is talking, it is that good! It was a pleasure to sample the buffet lined with with such a diverse selection of offerings all skillfully crafted by Chef George. From his made on site sausage and liver pate with locally sourced meats to the savoury Dim Sum. Our entire meal from start to finish was a treat for our palettes right down to the delightful fresh made desert treats to top off the meal. Evelyn was warm and inviting as she ensured our visit was a pleasant one. NOW....this was just the food, we haven't gotten to the location. Nestled along the Cowichan River on the way to Lake Cowichan on Hwy18 the Farm is tucked under large cedar and fir trees in a rustic countryside farm. I look forward to visiting again when the full farm operation has taken life and meals can be enjoyed on the outdoor patio. I highly recommend a visit in your future.

Amazing food, great service, the lemon squares are to die for � Highly recommend!!

The most amazing food, incredible hosts and ridiculous value! A beautiful place with a wonderful atmosphere. Scallops were insanely tasty, salmon wellington was stunning (with incredible veggies) and the desserts were unbelievably scrumptious - have the pie and ice cream! But everything looked delicious. Don't pass it by.

We recently spent 2 nights at The Inn and enjoyed the Wednesday prime rib dinner. The accommodations were delightful and dinner was to die for!! Ev and George are wonderful hosts, and George is a master chef. We'll be back.

My family had a Birthday Brunch yesterday for me here and it was excellent! Lots to chose from and very friendly owners and staff! Highly recommend this lovely place!

Just had an amazing brunch there with my family. The food was delicious. Service was top of the line too. All ready making plans to go back

As well as the ambiance being lovely, we had one of the most delicious dining experience I’ve ever had, here at the Farm Table Inn! George is such an incredible chef and Evelyn was on top of any and all of our needs before we even knew we had them. I wish I could eat here everyday!!

This is the second time being there. The first for Prime Rib buffet was spectacular. The last time was for valentines day dinner. Again the food was delicious BUT the portions were absolutely microscopic. When you pay $170 with taxes and tip for two people leaving hungry it is a huge disappointment. Will not go back to a special event seating.

was simply amazing food was so good and the service was great highly recommend going here

We came in late for Sunday Brunch, but they were happy to seat us. The meal and the atmosphere were fantastic. Definitely recommend this place

If there was a "LOVE" star, we'd give that to The Farm Table Inn. Six of us had the most amazing experience with you last night during our very own Chef's Table dinner complete with a farm tour with Chef George and Evelyn. We savoured every bite and left there longing for our next visit. Thank you for a very special evening celebrating good friends, great cuisine and fine wine. Well done Farm Table Inn. Highly recommend "lots" of the Old Fashioned's too!

Had an amazing dinner last night with friends. Food, bevvies and service was top notch. Highly recommend this lovely restaurant to friends. Thanks Evelyn and George.

I absolutely love this restaurant. I feel so grateful for the quality of food and service! I have been to several of their thursday night international buffet nights and every time have been very impressed. Can't wait to try out sunday brunch this week! It truly is fine dining quality with very reasonable prices and in such a peaceful setting. Thanks, George and Evelyn for making this valley all the more delicious!
