    Halibut and Chips
    Paolo M.

    Hidden gem alert! Final Approach is located in the Qualicum airport. Service was fast and friendly. Food was simple, well prepared and perfectly seasoned. Classic "pub food" done well. All our dishes were delicious and decently portioned. Calamari was exceptional. Not rubbery or overcooked, instead lightly breaded and crispy outside and juicy and tender in the middle. I would definitely go out of my way to go here again. I hear brunch is amazing so that'll be my next visit.

    Great food and great service. Everyone's food looked and tasted delicious. It's interesting to watch the airplane action while you dine.

    Fantastic food and service plus getting to watch the planes take off and land was so much fun for the kids, and me.

    Meh Food was good enough for breakfast. Not fancy, and not bad. The service was complete…read moredisappointment. Ordered water, got coffee. My husband said- no problem, he would keep the coffee. Waitress walked off and never came back with my water. Had to track her down twice to request water before I finally got water. Ordered basted eggs with English muffin, got eggs over medium with whole grain toast. Politely said, I actually ordered English muffin, (did not mention that I didn't order fried eggs) she said "are you sure you don't want the toast? I said, no, I would like the English muffin. She walked off and served several other tables and started filling their drink orders. My husband tracked down a different person to get my English muffin, by then my not basted eggs were cold. I get it, mistakes happen to the best of us. A simple acknowledgment or apology would have been welcome, but not a word. It made me feel like I was the one being difficult and I hate being that person. It isn't cheap eats, so I simply wanted what I paid for. The fried potato hash towns were tasty and well seasoned, the eggs (however they were cooked) were good enough. Overall the food is what you expect for a traditional breakfast. If you don't expect amazing service you will enjoy the meal well enough.

    Stopped in after our hike to Little Qualicum Falls. Nice selection of artfully prepared baked goods…read moreand the pastry on my chicken pot pie was exquisite as was the Reuben and Omelette and Omelette and Avocado Focaccia sandwiches. Will stop by again when on hwy 4

    We've had lunch at Cuckoo's once before so we knew pretty much what we were getting ourselves into…read more It's decorated in quite a traditional manner, and currently set up for Christmas. The floors look to be original hardwood, and there are lots of beams and logs to see. I personally love the old style look, but it might not be to everyone taste. The service is quite good, our server especially, although it did seem like one individual was more interested in polishing glasses and not running food or bussing tables. He was a little passive aggressive with another staff member when he did run a couple of plates, came back and said "see that wasn't that hard." Not a good look. The food was quite good, although we felt, this time like the last, it was a little on the expensive side. It is quite a tourist mecca just outside of Parksville so that's likely part of the reason. It's also quite busy so clearly people are willing to pony up. We had the soup of the days Chantrelle mushroom soup. Evidently those mushroom are very plentiful in the area this time of year. It was quite good, creamy for sure, but we would have liked some more noticeable bits of mushroom. We also shared a Caprese salad which needed more balsamic and a little salt. The capers were a nice add. We finished with Margherita pizza which was nicely cooked and finished with fresh basil. Can't believe I am saying this, but there was too much cheese on it and maybe a little shy on the tomato sauce. Peroni beer on tap is a total winner for me. Have been twice, might go again, but likely not.

    We stopped in for lunch on our way from Victoria to Tofino. The food and ambiance were amazing! The…read moreback patio is reminiscent of Europe. We had a salad and shared a pasta dish, and everything was delicious! Highly recommend.
