Our Recommendations

The Lobby Restaurant is a classy place. It’s a great venue for a romantic dinner or for a nice evening out with friends.

The last time we ate at the restaurant we had the crispy cauliflower appetizer and fish tacos. Both were excellent. The prawn tacos were especially delicious! We’ll definitely order those again! We also had the Mixed Grill entree which we highly recommend. It includes a mix of sirloin steak, sockeye salmon, tiger prawns, potatoes and grilled vegetables. The Deluxe Seafood Risotto with sautéed lobster, scallops and grilled tiger prawns was also fabulous.

The restaurant features different specials on each day of the week. As of January, 2024, Mondays are Date Night Dinner for Two, Tuesdays are Burger Night, and on Wednesdays you can get 50% off on bottles of wine.
