The italian was fresh, well put together, and the grilled roll was great. The roast beef on the other hand was not our favorite as we felt that between the horseradish, arugula, and pickled onions the spicy/peppery flavor was a little overpowering Service/Ambiance: Inside the deli there is a good amount of foods, drinks, and other items to purchase. There's ample covered seating in the front and a larger seating area in the back. The staff was kind

The chips were OK and I thought the cod tasted the best over the halibut. It's a pretty popular place. There are wooden box benches outside to sit in the sun with your fish and chips.

Service was prompt and friendly and they had gf designations on their menu which made my life easy. I had the house salad and the apricots on top were delish.

Several people were given beach towels by staff to wrap up in to keep warm. Whew! Our lack of planning actually turned out to be a blessing in this case as mid-September nights can be quite chilly! My husband wanted an appetizer and we mentioned that I have a daily intolerance. The server mentioned that they can prepare the mussels, which my husband mentioned, in a coconut milk and red curry sauce like what they do for clams. We really enjoyed them! We soaked the bread in the broth after eating the mussels to enjoy as much as the delicious broth as possible! I decided to order sesame crusted ahi appetizer and a side salad with shrimp as my "entree" and my husband immediately knew he was getting the lemon herb risotto with crab. He enjoyed every bite of it - including the kale!!

Their vegan, organic, etc selection is surprisingly expansive as well as reasonably priced and their bulk bin section is so well-organized. Veggies always look great and are high quality.

Employees are friendly and helpful, check-out lines usually move pretty quickly, most of the time there is ample parking, and the restrooms are clean.

Expected it to be served with peanut sauce, but did enjoy the sweet sauce it came with. The heat scale is 1 to 10. We asked for med and she wrote down "3". When I questioned that, she said they run hot. The panange curry was mild. I asked for fresh chili sauce to bring up the heat for more balance. I also found the sauce on that dish to too thick/heavy. Loved the fried rice with veg and added pork. And our favorite dish was the basil noodles with chicken. Great layered flavors. Sevice was fine, though once we had our food, it was hard to flag down someone for a napkin.

Everything was great but the Pad Thai and Green Curry were especially good, and the Bangkok Fried Rice came with a quantity of seafood. All of the portions were large and the green curry did some with a side of rice. Service: The phone order process was smooth and was about a 45 min wait since the restaurant was busy at the time (Thursday night). Pickup was easy and the staff was really kind and offered us sambal spicy sauce and a homemade chili oil Price: Dishes come at about $20 each which is pretty standard, and the portions were generous enough to feed 4 with some leftovers

This was the second place we went to that had crab tots on the menu so we threw in the towel and ordered them. Tots? There is nothing tot-like about these deep-fried balls of crabby goodness that showed up at our table. Shaped into balls, these are essentially crab cakes served with two dipping sauces. One sauce was sweet chili sauce and one was a spicier cilantro sauce. Both were very good and we managed to eat most of these before our dinners arrived.

I do love how they smash and fry them so there are crispy bits. The bacon was really good too! The only real negative is everything needed salt and I am not usually a salt person but dang!

We ordered Deluxe Beef Burger ($18.50), Clubhouse Sandwich ($16), Chicken Strips ($15.50) and a can of Coke ($3). All the food had a heart portion.

Portion was bigger than I thought it would be. Chicken strips were crispy and tender. Deluxe Burger was amazing it was loaded with different toppings including mushrooms. Clubhouse was pretty good as well. There were so much fries. We could eat fries endlessly while tummies feeling full. This restaurant really IS a hidden gem in Sidney. I'll remember to stop by again on my future visits to Victoria.

Unfortunately, our experience ended before we ever made it to a table. When we arrived, the hostess was on the phone. We waited patiently, but there was no acknowledgment of our presence--not even a simple "I'll be right with you." Once she finished her call, we asked for a table for four. Rather than greeting us or explaining the wait in a courteous manner, she simply shook her head and informed us there would be a 40-45 minute wait. The issue was not the wait time; it was the complete lack of hospitality. Had we been greeted warmly and treated like valued guests, we likely would have waited. Instead, we were left with the clear impression that our business was neither wanted nor appreciated. We chose to leave immediately and spent $200+ at another restaurant where we felt welcomed. While I understand that busy restaurants often have long waits, there is no excuse for poor customer service and basic discourtesy. Based on this experience, I will not return, nor would I recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area.
