Bennett Bay Bistro - Mayne Island

Located in the Mayne Island Resort it's a decent restaurant. We stayed at the resort so ate here a few times. They currently are only open 4 to 9pm so it's limited on when you can dine there. Make reservations if you can. The food was good, fries are awesome and home cut. The cheesecake was pretty darn tasty, it was a cinnamon bun but had cheesecake on the outside. Delish. This restaurant is good, service on the slower side but I know staffing is an issue so can't fault anyone for that.

Lovely restaurant with good food made with fresh ingredients! The wait staff is always kind and friendly, and the atmosphere is down to earth and relaxing. The soup and salad bar are so delicious and fresh. I've tried the nachos, chicken wings, steak salad, halibut, fries, etc. over the years, and the quality and the freshness of the food always impressed me. The fries are so good. So crunchy. Yum. This is sometimes the only restaurant open on Mayne Island so we're lucky that it serves good food. I will be back next time I visit Mayne.

Good Food Spectacular view Beautiful patio and dining room Good Music sometimes Value for your money Staff work hard and with a smile Go to place on Mayne

Went here as part of the romance package at the Mayne island resort. The waitress we had was very pleasant and attentive. We had a reservation at 6 at a ok table out on the patio but she asked if we wished to move to a nicer table with a better view. It had a reservation at 8 she warned us but as long as we were done before that it shouldn't be a problem. I thought that was very nice of her to do that. We ordered an appy crod cakes(crab) and it was packed with crab and quite delicious. They were placed on a bed of salad as well. For my main i ordered seafood lasagna, not what I was expecting. It was ok, wasn't horrible of anything just not what I was in the mood for after the fact. It's a cream based sauce not tomato. My fiancé ordered from the summer special menu a chicken burger. I think it had crispy onions or something on it and a sweet Demi glaze of some sort. Different not bad. Decent portion of fries with her burger. For dessert we ordered a Berry cheesecake which was decent as well. Overall solid food, nothing super out of the ordinary but for a nice beautiful view looking out over the water and good service and solid food.. Can't go wrong.

Tired and hungry after a disc golf tournament at Dinner Bay. A journey around the island and ended up here... What a nice surprise! Server was friendly and accommodating when informing the restaurant was setting up for a private function but the patio was available. No problem, it was a warm sunny evening so yes please for the amazing view! Quiet and tranquil. Ordered the Sticky Maui Beef Ribs to start. A bit on the sweet side as a preference but grilled to tender perfection and finger licking good. Next was the Southwestern Crispy Chicken Burger. The buttermilk fried chicken was crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside, topped with tangy dijon coleslaw and bourbon barbecue sauce. A delicious burger. About $15 per dish. Bennett Bay Bistro is putting out good food in a beautiful setting. A great place to visit while on Mayne Island and take it all in...
