Just O.K...we purchased the Groupon as we were heading up to Shawnigan Lake for the day and had never tried this restaurant...good location...nice decor...food was decent but overall I think even with the Groupon there's better value to be had elsewhere...I think the "Fixed" Groupon menu is a hoax...as if they don't know to cut down on the portions and...

Super happy with the food, service was wonderful. Despite some talk of the Groupon thing not working or being low quality, we used it and had such a positive experience we are coming back soon!

I went for my birthday dinner last night at Steeples. This was our second time going there for dinner, and I cannot rave enough about this restaurant. The food, service and ambiance are EXCELLENT. Our server's name was Chris and a big shout out to him; he was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. He made the whole night great, Eric,... More

I bought a 3 course lunch Groupon and invited a friend to join me. We both agreed it was the best steak sandwich either of us had ever had! We upgraded our appy and had the yam fries which were awesome. It was a struggle to make room for dessert, but the raspberry swirl cheesecake was worth it! Friendly service... More

We had a groupon coupon for there Sunday Brunch. It included a protein drink, entree, and dessert. I had the saffron lobster Bennie and my wife had a goat cheese Bennie and our friend had the prawn Bennie. All were very good. We had great service and love the atmosphere. The staff were very friendly. All in all it was... More

I've been to this restaurant 3 times. The first time was soon after it opened and it was incredible. I was excited to see the groupons come out for it. The second time we were there is was ok. Took forever to get our food, the portions shrunk and it was cold. We tried once more and I will never... More

Arrived at 7:15 and didn't get food until 8:45, where upon my seared tuna salad was cold. Sent it back to get my original piece of tuna chopped up and with the coating now mushy. Between ordering and getting our food we were only offered one slice of bread each. When we left, we even saw the chef sitting outside... More

we went here because it came highly recommended to us. We were served food that I would consider less than mediocre. The escargot was swimming in a soupy flavourless broth and cooked till shrunken and tough. The rest of our meal was forgettable. This was after the lunch hour around 2:00p.m. I think we received warmed leftovers. Nothing tasted or... More

My daughter and I did a getaway in February and were lucky enough to get to "Steeples" restaurant on a Sunday night. We arrived early enough to avoid the rush and from our table, enjoyed feasting our eyes on the beautifully renovated interior of the place. Created in a former church, this eatery features vaulted ceiling, leaded panes and the... More
