Myself and a friend had lunch on Thursday, August 19th and were both extremely happy with our meals. The food was very good and the service was amazing. I was celebrating a belated birthday and the waitress and gentleman from the bar came over and gifted me with something that I had made a comment on! It was such a thoughtful thing to do. I will definitely go back (although I only get over to the Island once a year, but the friend I was visiting lives in Parksville and said she will be back for brunch with her son very soon as she thoroughly enjoyed her crabcakes benny! Thanks again for great service and great food!

I encourage you to include a seasonal vegetable side/or salad with some of the entrees offered on your menu, especially for the 8oz New York Steak at $32.00 offering of only fries! I you improve the lighting in the restaurant, so customers can see the menu and make payment clearly, unless you intend to cater to a younger clientele.

I went last week to your restaurant and I felt like downtown Vancouver was brought to Qualicum beach, which was amazing. The food, the service, the cocktail (cosmo martini) omg YUMMY and the ambiance was fantastic. I will be returning weekly.
