The menu is imaginative and varied, with a very good choice of fish and meat dishes - not too large, not too small. It's not inexpensive but the food was worth it (which is why we ate there twice) and we ordered different dishes each visit. Service was very good friendly and efficient. We sat both inside and outside - the outdoor deck is fun for the view. Highly recommended (especially the chowder and the local Tofino beer!).

It was so warm upstairs as we were sitting in the direct sunlight coming through the window (which wouldn't have been so bad if we had a window seat and the view!). The food was good quality (We had the salmon), staff polite, reasonably priced. Would visit again.

Pasta choice from the children's menu will accommodate your child's sauce preferences. The local haddock stuffed with crab and Brie cheese on a bed of rice is amazing! The haddock is artistically presented on a bed of rice with squash. One in our family group enjoyed the Boulliabase with its crab, mussels, clams, scallops and fish . It is in a delicately seasoned broth served with crusty bread. The local craft brew Tofino Blonde Ale complimented our dinner. Service is attentive and very accommodating to special food requirements. Dessert choices finesse your meal. Reservations are recommended for this popular Tofino restaurant with a large outdoor patio area.

After a long wait we received our food. The stuffing inside the burrito( the beans and onions) was charcoal black and completely burnt. We asked for the server to change the food. After few minutes she came back and told us the kitchen found nothing wrong with the food, and she said this is the way that well down burrito is.So we ask for something else on the Menu. In the end we noticed that we have been charged for the food that my wife didn't even touch. When I asked the server she said that they are going to charge us because the manager decided that there was nothing wrong with the food even though we didn't eat it. They did not even have the courtesy to apologize for the horrible service or pack the food that they made us pay for. Such a Shame.
