Went there for lunch on a very warm Sunday. The setting by the river is cool, relaxed and pleasant. The White sail overhead has a wonderful effect, blocking out the hot sun.As usual, the food was wide and excellent. The service was excellent as well.....even though the waiters were very busy. Great selection of local beers and cider. Will go again soon.

Great food. Love buck a shuck although wish they'd bring back the free condiments with that appy. Kale Caesar salad is amazing. The mushroom Poutine is awesome. Drinks selection is incredible. Great food. On the river. Try and get the patio if you can. If you're in Comox you should definitely try this place. You'll be happy you did.

We dropped in for lunch after seeing lots of folks coming out with smiles...were greeted at the door by Robin, one of the owners and seated by the window with a pretty view. Our waitress offered tasters of our beer and wine choices - everything is local - to ensure we would enjoy them. Great food and service in a traditional timbered pub setting. Both Robin and our lovely waitress checked to see if we needed anything and had enjoyed our meals. This is a keeper!

This had a nice atmosphere and a lovely terrace to sit out on when it is sunny! Not an amazing choice of food for vegans though, but the staff were friendly and tried their best to accommodate.

We chose the "chef's table" and let the staff go to town on local food and drink. We sat on the balcony overlooking the water. The meal took 3 hours with 6 courses showcasing local produce and wines. One of the best meals I have ever had
