Great service and ambiance but the menu was extremely limited-and when the food arrived, it presented and tasted like a pre-made mealAsked for a side of bacon with my scone, but they don't have actual bacon, just bacon bitsThe cheesy scalloped potatoes were the highlite of a $14 sausage and eager

Recommend by a friend as a great place to eat. Said friend was right ... was great. Lovely setting on a wonderful warm day. All good nicely presented and tasty. Service was excellent.

With a 7:00 New Years reservation we arrived, ordered a tea and glass of wine, and our full order was taken by the server.Patiently waiting ,we see 3 other tables which came in after us, receive their starter, entree and main meal.After waiting for 1 hr/20 mins with no food, we pay our beverage bill and leave.This poor service happened on Valentine's Day previously with the same server.This was a very disappointing evening and we shall not be returning or recommending the Dayliner!

We had our Saltair community dinner at the Dayliner including about 25 people.

We ventured north beyond our base in Chemainus into the Saltair district to try the Mediterranean-style dinner at The Dayliner.
