Went here for a special occasion and it was by far a world-class dining experience! I dine at A LOT of fancy restaurants, and this place ranks pretty high on my list of quality and service. Our table was ready on the dot for our reservation. Both waitresses who served us were extremely friendly and respectful. The food and dessert was mouthwatering. Absolutely loved everything about this place. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you're staying at the resort!

Wasn’t expecting the food and service to be this amazing! A huge thank you to Rachel & Ryan for making our dine in experience even better. To top it off they even offer Halal chicken. I’m definitely making a reservation here every time I visit White Oaks Resort.

I had the pleasure of visiting "Liv Restaurant" to celebrate my anniversary with my significant other. I was very satisfied and pleased with the service, ambiance and the food. Service: Upon walking into the restaurant I was greeted by the hostess who was prompt and courteous to us. She was very friendly as she walked us to our table. My waitress - Fiona, was extremely attentive, patient and informative. She put forth a high degree of care and we appreciated her service very much. The food was brought out fairly quick. Ambiance: The pictures posted on the internet don't depict how nice the restaurant really is on the inside. My significant other and I really enjoyed the artistic design on the wall paintings along with the proper lighting to supplement our food and table setting (Not too dark, not too bright). The restaurant is laid out with open with seating that is spread out making it feel intimate and private with the people you are having dinner with. The flowers on each table and the décor finishes are well done. Food: Every meal begins with an "amuse-bouche" of the evening. It was very refreshing and did its job to prepare our palette for the upcoming vivers. With respect to Chef Michael Prince, I will keep the details of the amuse-bouche private as it is supposed to be a surprise for the guests. Followed by this was a surprise of champagne to celebrate my anniversary courtesy of the Chef. It was an exceedingly nice touch. To start, my partner and I had the caesar salad. The portion was very generous as we both shared a generous bowl each. The caesar salad contained all of the usual ingredients that wasn't overly topped with salad dressing. The Parmesan cheese was extremely delectable. A fantastic choice I must say. Following this, we selected the gnocchi and the scallops as our main dishes. The gnocchi was absolutely incredible. It melted in your mouth. The pasta sauce was extremely tasty along with the bits of finely cooked short rib. The scallops were delicious and refreshing. It was cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend these two dishes to any guest. Final Words: I thoroughly enjoyed my evening with my partner. "Liv Restaurant" goes above and beyond. They pay attention to fine touches. My partner and I received a very nice note inside of our menu's that was very touching and fitting to our anniversary. The staff is excellent and well trained. The food is very elegant and ever so tasty. Portion sizes are generous compared to many fine dining restaurants. My regards go out to Chef Michael Prince as he runs a superb restaurant. I really appreciated the thought and care that went into the food and the fine touches. Well done!

We stayed at White Oaks for a night as a spa getaway, and part of our package included a dinner credit at LIV. We had an amazing experience here. The restaurant was fancy, as we wanted, so we were able to dress up and not look out of place. The atmosphere was low lit, modern, and all around classy. The menu is large, with many options to choose from. Definitely something to satisfy everyone. The amuse bouche involved some sort of apple chutney, and was delicious. Both of us started with the mushroom soup, which was delicious, creamy, and flavourful. It was followed by lemon sorbet as a palate cleanser, which was so good. For mains, we got the chef's experiment of the day (swordfish with chipotle rice and veggies, topped with a fresh salsa) and the pasta of the day (rotini with beef tips, tomatoes, and mushrooms in a creamy cheddar sauce). Both mains were delicious, with complex flavours that worked well together. I don't even like fish but I enjoyed the swordfish. For dessert I got a cappuccino and we split the creme brulee. The desert was absolutely perfect. The fruit on the creme brulee balanced out the richness very well. It was the perfect way to end the meal. The staff at the restaurant, like at the resort, were so great. They were polite, attentive, and really easy to talk to. We had an amazing experience here.

Wow! We have been here a few times, and we've been pleasantly surprised every time! The menu is excellent, and their accommodations for our food concerns is so gratefully appreciated! Dinner started off with a flavourful and aromatic amuse-bouche. Both dishes were done perfectly, and presented wonderfully. Fiona was extremely lovely serving, and taking care of, us. (Many thanks!) What more can be said? Make sure you add this spot to your list!

Visiting from out of town, We went there with another couple and was very pleased with the appearance and ambiance of the location. Service was good and professional until I had to send back my well done steak that was ordered Medium rear. They did apologize and after 18 min I had to call for the server that showed up after 4 min with another which I refused to accept. By that time all others had finished there meal and a med rear small steak should not have taken no more 5 min? This what appeared to be a 6oz steak was $68? My wife had the $35 eggplant parmigiana that was not cooked through and hardly touched the food.

This was a delightful experience. Definitely qualifying as fine dining, the restaurant has bright natural lighting with clean lines and lovely decor. The throne chairs were definitely a conversation point. Dinner started with an unexpected amuse bouche, provided by the staff. Followed by fresh bread with 3 different dips. The staff was very diligent in adhering to our party, some of whom had severe nut allergies. Everything was clearly pointed out to make sure there were no accidental issues. Our entrées were quite large and the deserts were delicious. Everything was spaced out evenly so we didn't feel rushed at all. My only sour note is that our server didn't seem too happy with us. She was a little abrupt with us. All in all, I think I'd return if I was staying at the hotel.

We were not disappointed. Their service is excellent and they back it up with really good food. This place does not disappoint for those looking for the dining experience!

I am disappointed to say that I just had a terrible experience at LIV this evening. I was very much looking forward to this meal, as I’ve always enjoyed myself here. However, our server this evening (James) was remarkably rude— his attitude and comments were very unprofessional throughout the duration of our meal. He chastised one of us for “wasting” ketchup. He didn’t make any effort to be friendly nor hospitable. I would expect a server to be attentive, concerned, and go the extra mile to ensure their guests are content (or even thrilled) by their evening. This dinner was a sour note on an otherwise nice weekend.

We went for breakfast and ordered the eggs Benedict, I asked to substitute the ham for turkey sausage. The service was fantastic, staff were polite, however, the food was almost inedible. The plates arrived looking beautiful but the hashbrown was undercooked and just tasted like grease, the turkey sausage was a strange texture and tasted burnt and the hollandaise tasted like straight butter. The only thing on the plate that was good was the poached egg, it was cooked perfectly. Based on this meal I would not return to eat here.

Went for breakfast with my wife to celebrate her birthday. The food was great . Service is impressive from the time we entered the place and the entire experience. Our server Serk was great and had excellent customer service skills. Surely will be returning in the future .

dinner came with a glass of welcome sparkling wine. service was great. the highlight was the mussels; tasty, was a good portion and paired well with the complimentary bread..especially the cheese brioche. the passion fruit sorbet between courses also surprisingly stood out. the cheesecake was fine and the duck and sweet potato mash was good. brussels sprouts were heavy but still delicious.

From the start to finish, it was an amazing experience . The food is beyond delicious each dished with fresh ingredients. But what really made the evening stand out is the phenomenal service we received from James and Ian. Their attentiveness and knowledge for the menu, overall I will highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional culinary experience.

Solo-dined here for breakfast, the ambiance was amazing. The food was “okay” and the server who was helping me was “okay”. The hostess and the gentleman at the entrance were incredibly nice!

Visited LIV in October 2022 and just generally fell short of expectations for food and service. My fiancé and I had gotten engaged earlier in the day, and we had booked this dinner to celebrate. Service we received that evening was below average, server wasn't particularly attentive (honestly felt like we were eating at a local bar/pub). I added a note beforehand that it was a celebration dinner for our engagement - I wasn't expecting anything in particular except maybe a bit of acknowledgement or more attentive service given the occasion. I thought maybe the note was missed but at the end we were kindly given our choice of a dessert. We went with what I believe was the creme brulee (it was served right out of the fridge and very cold). The rest of the food also fell short of expectations... Lamb was a cooler than room temperature. Scallops didn't taste particularly good. Fries were decent. Generally overpriced for the taste and quality. We were hoping to turn this restaurant into one we visit often since it was somewhere we went to celebrate a milestone but not sure we'll make it back here even if we end up staying at the resort again.

My wife and I went to Liv for our anniversary. We went because of all the wonderful reviews I had read. James our server was personable and professional. An asset to your establishment. The food was superb! I had the bison steaks that melten in your mouth. My wife had the lamb which was cooked to perfection. I took away one star due to the traffic of people traveling from one side of the hotel to the other right through the center of this fine dining restaurant. Groups of 7 or 8 people at a time in sweats or bathing suits talking loudly walking strait through the middle of the dining room. We were there on a quiet night, so we were seated at a window. I would not want to be at one of the tables right beside this thoroughfare. Very surprising and distracting. Not what I expected from a quality restaurant like this. I will definitely return for the food and service. But when I make reservations I will make sure that I am nowhere near the center of the dining room.

Alphabet Dinner Club took us to Liv Restaurant at White Oaks for the letter "L". To say our meal was fantastic would be an understatement! From the beautiful dining room to the delightful cocktails and delicious food, our evening was made even more enjoyable by the spectacular service that Eilish and her sidekick provided us. Well done Liv. 👏😊

Came here for my birthday! Felt like I was in a movie! Service was above and beyond and the food was fantastic! Our server Fiona was great! 10/10 recommend for fine dining/something romantic!

It's an expensive place but the wait staff take care of you and the food is great. Portions are much larger than comparable fancy restaurants. They bring out samples compliments of the chef and the lemon gelato was amazing! The atmosphere feels more like a wedding banquet hall than an actual restaurant.

We came for Sunday breakfast on our way to NOTL. You have the option to sit outside of the weather is good. Made a reso but ended up not needing it - but recommend doing just in case. Had the broken eggs with asparagus and smoked salmon - divine.
