Bennett Bay Bistro - Mayne Island

Went here as part of the romance package at the Mayne island resort. The waitress we had was very pleasant and attentive. We had a reservation at 6 at a ok table out on the patio but she asked if we wished to move to a nicer table with a better view. It had a reservation at 8 she warned us but as long as we were done before that it shouldn't be a problem. I thought that was very nice of her to do that. We ordered an appy crod cakes(crab) and it was packed with crab and quite delicious. They were placed on a bed of salad as well. For my main i ordered seafood lasagna, not what I was expecting. It was ok, wasn't horrible of anything just not what I was in the mood for after the fact. It's a cream based sauce not tomato. My fiancé ordered from the summer special menu a chicken burger. I think it had crispy onions or something on it and a sweet Demi glaze of some sort. Different not bad. Decent portion of fries with her burger. For dessert we ordered a Berry cheesecake which was decent as well. Overall solid food, nothing super out of the ordinary but for a nice beautiful view looking out over the water and good service and solid food.. Can't go wrong.

Tired and hungry after a disc golf tournament at Dinner Bay. A journey around the island and ended up here... What a nice surprise! Server was friendly and accommodating when informing the restaurant was setting up for a private function but the patio was available. No problem, it was a warm sunny evening so yes please for the amazing view! Quiet and tranquil. Ordered the Sticky Maui Beef Ribs to start. A bit on the sweet side as a preference but grilled to tender perfection and finger licking good. Next was the Southwestern Crispy Chicken Burger. The buttermilk fried chicken was crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside, topped with tangy dijon coleslaw and bourbon barbecue sauce. A delicious burger. About $15 per dish. Bennett Bay Bistro is putting out good food in a beautiful setting. A great place to visit while on Mayne Island and take it all in...

Took forever to get our food. Food was not good. Miso salmon bowl was so salty and had no soba noodles or boo Choi as per the description. Halibut was dry. Three out of four of us had hairs in our food.

On our stay last week at Mayne Island, we dined at the Bennett Bay Bistro and were very happy with the friendly and personable customer service my table received from our waitress Brynn. We enjoyed the food as well. Despite the restaurant being quite busy, she was cheerful and made us feel welcome and valued unlike the front desk staff at the Mayne Island Resort.

We are huge fans of this gorgeous restaurant right on the water. The setting is stunning, an absolutely gorgeous patio. the staff are super friendly and attentive. Menu is delicious, lots to choose from though we are always partial to the mussels! Make a reservation, word is out how great this place is and, they are busy especially during Summer months!
