I loved the Restaurant. It was absolutely amazing. Great food. Great service. Beautiful atmosphere. There are turtles, birds, fish, and frogs within 200 feet of the restaurant. We liked it so much that the 2 out of 3 days we were on the sunshine coast we ate at Ruby Lake Resort. If you like pasta you will love their pesto... More

Every summer we try to take one trip to the Sunshine Coast....so close to Vancouver, yet it feels like a million miles away from the hussle of the City. Each year we explore a different resort, motel or BnB to stay, but always make sure we have at least one dinner at Ruby Lake Resort's wonderful Italian Resteraunt. The food... More

I agree with the reviewer below. The service was awful and the restaurant itself is extremely pricey. We came for dinner to this restaurant after visiting Skookamchuk and were very hungry. After we got the menus, noone came to get our orders for a very long time. The food itself was very average, infact my husband didn't really like his... More

Special occasion dinner - The service/atmosphere ruined the entire experience. Arrived for an early reservation, only to hear pounding from the kitchen for the first 1/2 hour - My meal was plopped on the table while I was in the restroom washing my hands. No sense of timing. Staff were inexperienced - food marginal (since it sat there getting cold... More

Ruby lake resort had excellent food and a great view outside. There was a bird reserve outside so you could enjoy the wildlife. When we were there we saw eagles, geese, turtles, beavers, ducks, and hawks. We thought the food was so good that we ate there 2 out of three nights we were on the sunshine coast. I got... More

We visited the Sunshine Coast for the first time. We live in Los Angeles where there are plenty of good restaurants. The restaurant at this resort matches any of them for wonderful Italian food and great fish plates. You can sit inside or out. If you're outside you sit next to a lake with ducks, geese and even a beaver... More

Don't miss this experience! Two Italian brothers and their family have have made an incredible dining and viewing destination. One works the kitchen ( everything is awesome)and one works the floor ( hysterical ).We stay there as well and they let you use their canoes or rowboat to fish the lake and they will prepare your catch! The restaurant overlooks... More

We have been dining at Ruby Lake for 10 years and still enjoy the occasional meal there. Aldo is an excellent Italian chef owner has a special way with fish and game. The pasta is also excellent. Our favorite dish though is the fresh seafood latter. Go for it if avaialble! The service is always very friendly but in the... More

Enjoying our vacation in the beautiful Sunshine Coast, we were so disappointed in the lack of good food and took to buying our own fresh seafood and preparing at our B&B, (Marions in Gibsons) When we drove by Ruby Lake Lodge on our way to a hike, we decided to give it a try on the way back. Which turned... More
