Now that sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Ferries passengers have made it clear they want to see the long-gone Pacific Buffet replaced, the company is launching a second survey to gather more specific information.
It wants to know what dishes you’d like to see on a menu — and how much you’re willing to pay.
In June, sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Ferries announced that the Pacific Buffet would not return. It closed down in the pandemic and the company decided against reopening the venture, which lost $1.2 million annually.
Customers were invited, however, to take part in a three-week survey, and more than 10,000 shared their ideas.
“Overall, respondents said they wanted a space that was special and distinct from the Seawest Lounge and cafeteria spaces offered on the Vancouver (Tsawwassen) to Victoria (Swartz Bay) route,” sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Ferries said in a statement Wednesday.
Suggestions included setting up a new dining area, offering a view not available in other part of the vessel, providing comfortable seats and serving high-quality food, including plated entrees, desserts and artisanal foods.
sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Ferries’ latest survey runs for two weeks.
