Whether you arrive on foot or by limousine (there are guests in both categories), owner John Bishop will greet you at the door and lead you to a table in his elegant dining room hung with fine paintings and wood sculpture from the Pacific Northwest. Like the artwork, all ingredients are top-quality and locally grown, not to mention organic. Everything is seasonal, and the menu changes weekly, but at any given time, Bishop's will have a small collection of the best Pacific Northwest dishes available -- anywhere. Appetizers might include grilled spot prawns with fennel and blood orange, or Salt Spring Island goat cheese coated with toasted hazelnuts in a raspberry vinaigrette. Entrees could include roasted rack of suckling pig, or roasted wild spring salmon with rhubarb compote. The wine selection isn't huge -- there simply isn't the space -- but it's exceptionally well chosen with vintages from along the Pacific Coast. If you plan on splurging one night, this is one of the best places to do it.
