Il Falcone - Courtenay

This is 100% the highlight of our trip to Vancouver Island quite simply the best food and service we have had here.The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, in portions which weren't totally overwhelming, as we have found elsewhere. It was warm enough for us to enjoy the a lovely courtyard setting, with fig trees overhead.Service was friendly, efficient unobtrusive. Cassidy the sommelier looked after us so well, explaining the source of the wines liqueurs, listening engaging in conversation but without lingering too long.When we explained the reason for our trip an anniversary holiday a signed card from all the staff appeared, without ceremony, which brought me to tears.A very special place. Highly recommended.

Unbelievable experience. The food was fresh, delicious and unforgettable. The staff were all friendly and so friendly! We often come back. I hope they get more staff to get more people at home because this restaurant is definitely the top of the list. Thank you for the romantic experiences and wonderful food!

I'm told the tables are usually booked weeks in advance by local patrons. So, I guess we were lucky to be able to secure a table at the last minute. The pace of the service is geared towards the tasting menu with different wine parings. Ordering a two-course dinner and too exhausted for wine meant that we had to wait quite a while in between the two courses. My seat was right by the passage way, so my brand new Arc'teryx jacket was infused with the smell of kitchen deep frying which was an unpleasant take-home. Overall, we enjoyed Salumi board, and our main courses. I was able to replace the carbs with vegetables which was nice. We did not have dessert because our second course arrive at closing time.

I would highly recommend Il Falcone. The food is absolutely to die, the service is incredible, and the staff is simply incredibly nice real people. Also there is a funny little surprise in her baths... You'll know when you're here! 11/10.
