We stopped by for lunch based on TA reviews when visiting the area. It was quite hot sitting outside in the sun but hotter inside. We received our food but had to wait about 5 minutes and two servers before we were able to get cutlery and napkins. That made it kind of hard to eat when the food arrived. It was a surprise that a refill on iced tea was an additional charge-a quite unusual. I would look elsewhere for a meal.

Went for lunch with friends and were seated at a table on the outdoor patio. Nothing is better than a nice cold/refreshing cocktail or beer on a hot summer day. We were served promptly, and service was very good throughout the meal. We were slow at ordering as we were talking too much and not looking at the menu to decide on our entrée. Our waitress never made us feel rushed. We decided on the Fish & Chips, the Avocado and Chicken Clubhouse and the Crab Quesadilla. Everyone enjoyed their meals.

This restaurant is in the Pier Hotel. The restaurant is on the waterfront . My wife and I ordered dinner. We shared a lettuce wrap which had a delicious sauce. I ordered lamb sirloin with a sauce I didnât recognize. Unfortunately the sauce was pretty bland and I asked for mint sauce or jelly. The waitress and maître d consulted with the chef and he would not or could not give me mint sauce/ jelly. I had to settle for ketchup with my lamb!! My wife ordered halibut and fries.The order came with a small dried-out piece of halibut and a huge plate of fries. With one wine and one beer the bill was $120 . I cannot recommend this restaurant. The kitchen is dysfunctional!Dear Sir:I must respond to your review, and point out some inaccuracies. Our lamb sirloin entrée is served, as described on our menu, in the following way:Lamb Sirloinpan seared lamb sirloin, smoked fingerling potatoes, seasonal vegetables, olive jusWe don't carry mint jelly, and your server advised you of this. The Restaurant Manager you later spoke to also advised the same, but did acknowledge that he would see to it that we had some on hand going forward. When your server inquired about the rest of the meal you commented 'delicious'. You made a point of telling both the server and the Restaurant Manager that you worked for TripAdvisor when told there was no mint jelly in house - no veil on this threat.The Restaurant Manager discounted your bill by 50% - no mention of this in your review which is simply lying by omission. We take guest feedback very seriously, but half-truth and inaccuracies like this are hard to digest. Pun intended.Natalie

Hit this joint up on a Sunday when they offer just breakfast all day. Real small venue with some folks waiting although we got a table right away outside on the sidewalk. Food was good although not outstanding. Service was very quick with friendly servers. Breakfast for two with tip clocking in at $37 which was a tad pricey for the overall experience.

I ordered the Vegetarian Crepe, which is a paper-thin pancake wrapped around scrambled eggs, mushrooms, spinach, green onions and tomatoes. The menu says it includes cheddar cheese, but if so, only in a minute amount and of the white variety. I didn't miss it. In fact, I'm glad the cook missed it. Two crepes are served side-by-side in a dish under a ladle full of hollandaise sauce. Next to the dish is a pile of the most perfect skin-on hashbrowns: soft throughout but with just enough golden crisp on the outside to give them a pleasing little crunch, and salted, but not over-salted.I love meat, but not all the time. If breakfast without meat seems wrong to you, try the Chorizo and Cheddar Crepe instead.

This location has a great potential to be a tourist trap, right at the end of the pier at the end of Beacon Avenue. While we have talked to friends that say they really liked their meal here, ours was disappointing. The menu says that fish and chips is their specialty. And the prices reflect it, $20 for two pieces of cod (4 ounces, which is apparently larger than the standard 3 ounces elsewhere) and $30 for two pieces of Halibut. I asked for mine extra crispy. Once again, I have come upon a restaurant that doesnât know the very basic technique for making fried things crisp. Very simply, you fry them twice. After the first round, let them sit, preferably in the refrigerator, for ten minutes or so. Then put them in hot oil (375 degrees) for the second fry. They come out fluffy inside and crispy on the outside. Not so here. I picked up a piece of cod in my fingers and the oil ran out of it in a stream. It was slightly darker, because to make it crisp they had left it in a little longer. That doesnât do it. Same with the fries. Not very crispy. The meal was expensive and very very ordinary. The carrot cake looked good, but we didnât try that.

After getting off the ferry boat from Vancouver, we decided to have lunch at this charming cafe at the marina in Sidney, just a short drive from the ferry terminal. The patio is somewhat small and no tables were available there, so they seated us inside. There was still a lot of light and nice marina views from the oversized windows.We had the blue crab sandwich--delicious! One oddity: we ordered ice tea and we were brought very sweet tea. I've had this happen (before I learned to ask) in the Southern U.S. but no where else. Everywhere else, you normally get unsweetened ice tea, sometimes served along with sugar packets. When we told the waitress that we did not favor sweetened ice tea, she acted like we should have specified or inquired. I wonder whether this is a Canadian or British Columbian thing? In any event, that was the only thing that marred an otherwise very nice lunch.

Outstanding ambience, exceptional food, exceptional service... the perfect place to gather with family and friends. Appetizers and bubbly in the garden and wandering the waterfront, then inside for a food experience that will be long remembered. Thank you Pierre and Bev for continuing your long and beautiful tradition of creating food that leaves us longing to return. Your team of servers, particularly Ben, put people at ease and make them feel special. Thank you so much!!

Thirteen of us who live locally and have known each other for a long time. Wonderful setting with views across the golf course to the sea, Saltspring Island and the coastal mountains. Mount Baker can be seen from the deck and the sunset is spectacular. We had wonderful service from Sarina and her coworkers who treated us above and beyond...! The menu was a mixture of burgers and salads, and some interesting main dishes with monthly specialities.The chowder was excellent. Wines add to the cost, of course but not to expensive and a reasonable selectoin of these and ales. Desserts , I was told were good. Although the kitchen closed around 8.00 pm we were not pushed to leave and sat with coffee and good conversation until close to 9.0 pm. Main course all seemed to be less than 20 dollars which seems to be excellent pricing for a great evening with friends.Thank you for the detailed review. We appreciate the time you took to offer your feedback!
