Reviews for Satellite Bar & Grille at Arbutus Ridge Golf Club in Cobble Hill, BC

Popped in here with my dining companion as we were exploring the area. Gorgeous views from the patio and inside the... restaurant. We had the Cobb salad, which was very good and the Turkey club. Also good we subbed the fries for onion rings and they were excellent! Nice batter and crispy. Big onion slices which we love. Local crafts on tap, but not much of aselection…3 I think. The menu did show there were specials each night of the week and prime rib on Saturday. Would like to trythat! Staff were cordial but not that inviting. Perhaps it’s the atmosphere? I didn’t give a full 5 stars because I thinkthere is so much more then could do to the ambiance of the place and “encourage” you to linger. It feels cold and cavernous.I realize it is part of the golf course but I believe they want to cater to locals and more than just golfers. The Blue Jays arein a pennant race yet they had the weather network on the small TV. I asked if they could switch but no staff seemed to know how….or didn’t care to ? Too bad, it could be a great gathering spot for the area. Read more

We have ordered dinner takeaway twice and have been very happy with the quality and presentation. The appetizers we ordered... were the Coconut Breaded Tiger Prawns and the Bang Bang Cauliflower Bites. The entrees we tried were the Tofu Pad Thai and theKorean Gochujang Shrimp. All were delicious. We are thrilled with the number of vegetarian items on the menu. Service has beenfriendly and quick both times we called. We are hoping to dine outdoors soon for breakfast. The benny menu looks amazing. Keepup the good work! Read more

AVOID THIS RESTAURANT. If you want to enjoy the view just order a beer. The food was horrible and the service too! Very... disappointed. Read more

Sadly, the only thing that didn't disappoint us was the view. I'm giving it 1 star because our server was lovely, but that was... it. The food was mediocre at best. I ordered the Pad Thai and my partner ordered the 8oz Strip loin. We're locals and we wantedto love this place, but the food was just amateur. My Thai dish was dry, the noodles were gummy, and there was almost noflavour. His steak was 6oz at best and there was so much unrendered fat on it he couldn't really enjoy it. If you stick toclassic pub fare you might be safe, but we won't be back for any more then a beer on the patio. Read more

I want to preface this review by saying I am fully aware of the current labour shortage and the increasing cost of food over the... last few years. However, we have been coming to the Easter Brunch for 40 years and our last few visits have been increasinglydisappointing, with yesterday's being the worst. Upon arrival, it was glaringly noticeable the selection of food choices haddecreased. There was no salads, no seafood, no cheeses/crackers, and shockingly no dessert or pastries. A few choice dessertsare almost always found on a buffet, especially a special one such as Easter. There were fresh fruit trays, which got quicklyemptied as soon as they were put out. Sadly, the food choices that were available, eggs benny, sausage, bacon, hashbrowns toname a few, were cold and not very tasty. We waited for almost 20 minutes before I got up to find a staff member to bring uscoffee. A server came over immediately and did replenish our cups a few times, which was appreciated. We had to wait for chafingdishes to be refilled and at one point, there were no plates to even serve on. While I don't expect the buffet to return to thelavishness of early years, it would have been nice to have a few items from each of the above mentioned groups, done well. Icertainly did not feel like we got our money's worth and sadly it has pretty much cemented our decision not to return forbrunch. I hope they can rectify the situation in the future as it is a beautiful setting but unfortunately you can't eat theview. Read more

I think I have reported a 5 out of 5 on them before but here I go again! Awesome view! First class service, top shelf food! I... highly recommend the salmon burger with caesar salad. My wife enjoyed the Jamaican Chicken Jerk Burger with fries. As usual Iwas fortunate enough to finish her meal off too and it was exceptional as well. Read more

We went for dinner on a Sunday, unfortunately they were busy with another event so they kind of forgot about us until we walked... up to find the server. The head server was nice, but other staff were not so much. Overall, place ought to have been betterstaffed especially when when they knew an event was going on. Decent food for the area. Read more
