    Hickory smoked bbq ribs
    Krista P.

    Beautiful atmosphere especially if you have a table on the balcony overlooking the beautiful water. The waiter and hostess were very friendly and we were able to try a few samples of beer before making our selection. We all enjoyed our food. Out of the four dishes I though the lettuce cups and the laksa bowl were the best! The laksa bowl had so much flavor I would definitely order it again. We also had no wait at all as we made a reservation ahead of time, which I would recommend it. It was a pretty busy place.

    Fish bites with fries

    Neat place with some great views if you sit outdoors. All of the four dishes that we ordered were soli. My fish and chips were battered perfect in a light batter that didn't take away from the fish flavor. Good service and an attentive waiter made the meal more enjoyable.

    Vanilla cheesecake

    Everything about this place is excellent minus the service today. Maybe it was an off day but the server forgot our drink order 3 times. Not overly busy but seemed a bit off. Cute place, excellent food options, and gorgeous views. We ordered the pretzel (fresh artisan pretzel, creamy garlic parmesan, yellow mustard) and it was warm and buttery. The garlic parm dip was an excellent pairing option. I also got the Beurre Blanc Mac & Cheese (Smoked cheddar, white wine butter sauce, crispy bacon) - no bacon. Very creamy and cheesy but not smokey. Also, they charged for hot sauce. For dessert, the Vanilla Cheesecake (Sea salt, espresso crème anglaise, and cocoa nib brittle). Out of this world! Hands down one of the best treats I've ever had! Loved the food! The service was a bit off but I would totally come back again!!

    Laska Bowl

    Cool place with a great view and great food and friendly staff Appetizers were great - had Brussels Sprouts and their Ahi stack both were great - Laksa bowl needed salt then was really good and the waffle sandwich was good but not the dream it sounds like it'd be - maple syrup maybe would've blown it out of the park. Definitely will come back again next time I'm near

    One of the few restaurants on this strip that was actually opened for lunch. Many of the other restaurants don't open until 3-4pm, this was also on a Sat. We were able to sit outside overlooking the sea view. The menu selection was varied and plenty to choose from. I had the salad with chicken which was excellent and my husband had the salmon burger. Both were very tasty.

    Shanghai Noodle Bowl
    Holly A.

    Absolutely a wonderful place to unwind after a long day of traveling. The Shanghai Bowl was perfect for the cool weather and the bear went down smooth. Service was great. Everyone checks on in you, not just your server. Pleasant, calm atmosphere and beautiful view of the river.

    A sophisticated eatery with a waterfront view and a great ambiance I was driving, and hence not drinking alcohol, but their bar selections looked great (single malt scotches, etc.). I had the short-rib sliders and a root beer (good driving food), but felt like I was the exception - most folks were settled in for a leisurely and fancy brunch. I'll definitely stop when I'm in town again. It's fancy without being too formal. A great place for drinks, brunch or dinner.

    Mashed potatoes which came with the beered chicken tasted stale. Ling cod with black Thai rice was very dry. Same with the chicken bites.

    Pastimes Sports Bar & Grill - Turkey dinner was excellent and plentiful

    We typically don't have dinner at the hotel we are staying at as it seems to us that either the…read morefood, or the service, are not up to the standards of stand alone restaurants. Definitely not the case at Pastimes on our visit this evening. Our server Teresa was excellent, even though she was quite busy. She happily answered our questions about the food, and the choices we were going to make. We shared a house salad which was plentiful and had a nice accompaniment of dried cranberries and almonds. Both items are things that are often scrimped upon as they are complimentary items that aren't an inexpensive addition. For our mains I got the meatloaf with mashed potatoes, and the lovely K the turkey dinner. Both were excellent, with the meatloaf wrapped by bacon, likely the local Hertel variety which was incredible. Real mashed potatoes and veggies cooked to my perfect taste along with gravy. Easy 5 out of 5, as was K's turkey, also accompanied by mashed potatoes and veggies. The decor is pure sports bar, but the sound on the tv's was down so you could actually talk without the usual noise. The Canucks were in Nashville so we watched the game and enjoyed a very very nice meal. Sadly we couldn't finish it all, and with a travel day tomorrow we had to send it away, what a shame. We will most definitely be back the next time we are in Port Alberni.
