Guests will arrive at 5:30 PM to enjoy a complimenary welcome cocktail, followed by a 6:00 PM Skal toast. Dinner service begins at 6:15 PM and will feature a chef-attended rodízio station with Brazilian-style grilled skewers of chicken and shrimp, alongside a vibrant selection of seasonal West Coast dishes. The menu highlights include fresh composed salads such as gathered greens with caramelized citrus vinaigrette and watermelon quinoa salad, locally inspired features like Vancouver Island asparagus, and flavourful accompaniments including charred broccolini and duck fat roasted fingerling potatoes.
