   Very good soup, perfect for lunch on a rainy day. Always enjoy coming to the Inn.

   Went to the inn and had brunch with friends, food was great and the service was pleasant. Will go there again.

   This was an advertised $29 Thanksgiving turkey dinner with all the trimmings, so at the price even though it was possibly the worst cooked vegetables I’d ever encountered I’d have to say it ought to have been good value. The vegetables were so overcooked they were almost unrecognizable, and overly seasoned. Perhaps they were from the previous day, so warmed up and given a light flogging. The stuffing was very salty but edible. I liked the mashed potatoes. The gravy was a bit salty but acceptable. The turkey was not tender so I didn’t have much but asked to take it home. I’m a person who loves stuffing but even though my friend didn’t want hers because it was salty and offered it to me, I refused. She did eat all of her turkey but not much of her veggies. There was an orange bit she offered, saying she couldn’t tell what it was, carrot or squash. I took it and decided based on texture it was probably carrot but I was guessing. And all of it was heavily sprinkled with what had been dried herbs. For take-away I was presented with a small container, with no offer to help me even though the plate was large and heavy. I think the server was wise not to have asked how things were because I would have told her. My friend, who had only her turkey and potatoes, said she thought the food was good. I don’t think my friend cooks much though and I do. The food would have had to have been quite a lot better to be classified as ‘good’. Salt spring has a terrible time getting proficient help but we had an early sitting so I am wondering if these veggies were left over from the previous day’s Thanksgiving Special. What I do know is that I would never return to the Salt Spring Inn. Since you asked … Thnis was to be short, simple and specific. I get one out of three: specific.

   I love the Salt Spring Inn for it's cosiness yet the table we got was definitely more in the middle through fare. Somehow if sometime could be done to make these tables just a bit more intimate. I loved who I was with . My family. So all was very happy. I love your waitresses. They are very caring. I love your salad and an edge of goat cheese would do it wonders..Yet do so miss the rare steak but suspect the cost is prohibitive to bring such a treat back. In Closing I think the Salt Spring Inn is so very special as so many places are disappearing.This definitely a place for the people.

    SS Inn is one of our favourite restaurants on Salt Spring! However, if it's a busy night, the noise level makes it hard to hear your own conversation. Still, I'd give it a 10/10!
