    First time there this June. Food was stellar, and so was the service. Our server Molly was very nice. Best short rib I've ever had. Can't recommend enough and will be back!

    My husband and I have been to Alpina many time in the last few years and have always enjoyed a fine dining experience and made to feel special . This time we were informed almost as soon as we ordered our drinks there was a large party coming in shortly and it might be advisable to order in a timely manner as service could be slower . The waitress was lovely but it still made the four of us feel rather rushed . The wine prices were very high and more limited .. most $115-117/bottle which also was disappointing to see such a huge markup . Food was good but not as before, my lamb sausage /pasta was just warm , everyone else enjoyed their dinners for the most part but we all left feeling it was but the best experience .. we had raved to our European relatives(first time in Canada) that hands down this was our favourite most special restaurant to go to for an exceptional dining experience anywhere up and down Vancouver Island . Not anymore

    Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We truly appreciate your loyalty over the years and are sorry that your recent visit did not meet your expectations. We understand that being informed about the large party and potential slower service may have made you feel rushed, and we sincerely apologize for that. Your comments about the wine pricing and the temperature of your lamb sausage pasta are important to us, and we will review these concerns carefully to improve. It’s disappointing to hear that your experience did not reflect the exceptional dining experience you have come to expect from Alpina, especially since you have recommended us so highly to your European relatives. — The Alpina Team
