Having had the Mahle highly recommended we decided to take a chance on a very special occasion. Most disappointing. From the parking lot full of puddles, to the superior attitude of the staff and over priced menu it was an experience NOT to be repeated. Food was ok, but not worth the drive.
Had heard so many positive things about the Mahle House, decided to make the drive to Cedar to give it a try. It was a great decision.
The room is...quaint. Style of decor wasn't really my cup of tea but it's an old house and it suits its purpose. I must say it was quite cozy.
Server was a little frumpy but efficient and attentive. That must sound so shallow, but I want to be honest. She didn't make suggestions, which is something I adore when dining out. My guest and I dine out all the time, so we were able to navigate the menu with ease anyway.
Reading the menu, everything sounded delicious. We decided on the seafood trio appy in which all the seafood was cooked just right. Scallop seared only on one side and tender. These folks know how to do it right.
I had the stuffed chicken and my guest had the tuna. I was surprised at how large the portions were. I could not finish my meal, it was huge, rich and soooo good. My guest had the tuna which was slightly overcooked, though we did not specify a temperature (we like it rare), but nonetheless very tasty.
We managed to save room for dessert and shared a dessert sampler. Rich chocolate treats and a small creme brulee. Fabulous.
I will definitely go back for the food and have no quams about telling friends to try it out.
This restaurant on Vancouver Island is a real find. Only the best restaurants at a much higher price can compare with the quality and care they put into their food. The vegetables are always perfectly cooked.
They buy and feature fresh local produce including herbs from their own garden. The wine list is excellent and the owners are always happy to suggest pairings. It is just south of Nanaimo and easy enough to find. I challenge you to find a better restaurant in the pacific northwest at their reasonable prices. RW
