Friends visited this restaurant for lunch and raved about the excellent food. We decided to try it for dinner the following night. Reserved a table for the patio as we were travelling with our dog-dogs are allowed on the outside deck. When we arrived, shortly after 6:30 the restaurant was quite busy and we felt kind of squished into a corner. However within 15 minutes several diners finished their meals and we moved to a better table and had the area to ourselves. My husband enjoyed the Brie & Bacon burger, while I had the Seafood Pasta. Both dishes were really good. We checked out the Dessert menu and decided on a Monte Cristo which was very nicely presented with a slice of orange and chocolate shavings. Very enjoyable evening within walking distance of Page's Resort & Marina.

So last year (summer 2016) we ate here and were not impressed. However, there is new management and they are now one of our favorites! The view from this spot is amazing! The seafood Pasta WOW! Great food and drinks and really liked this spot can't wait to go back!

We stopped over while cruising the island on our boat. Our club has an outstation there, and this being our first visit we decided to try the local restaurant and we were quite happy we did. Even though it was a long weekend, it was busy but not too busy for us to get a great table overlooking the ocean and marina. The Farro appetizer made us curious enough to try it and we were glad we did! It was a very different, flavourful and almost exotic appy. The seafood curry pasta was great and the deconstructed lemon tart for dessert finished it off well. The wine list has a good variety and is fairly priced. Our server was attentive, pleasant and well informed. We had a great meal, wonderful sunset and will definitely return next time we visit Silva Bay.

We went with a family of 7 and the staff were friendly and efficient. The menus has changed since I was there a few years back and there is lots of variety. Bonus is that they somehow got rid of the wasps from joining our meal! We could actually sit outside and enjoy the fresh ocean air and view of Silva Bay. We will be back.
