The cod gyro plate was served with 2 pieces of cod and "build your own" pita and ingredients. Quite tasty. With two wines and an IPA, we had a $100+ bill Canadian. A bit steep for casual dinner fare for us-- a couple of Oregonians. We should have split the gyros plate and cut out the alcohol.

The server we had was fun and friendly. Good interplay. LOTS of TV screens for watching the game, if that's one of your reasons to be there. We were watching a CFL game at the time. I ordered a Thai noodle chicken wrap. It came with a separate thin spicy sauce you could dump in to the wrap, which I did. It was a win. I wasn't even able to finish all my fries, so it was a good sized meal. The layout is pretty open air but compartmentalized in such a way that we weren't constantly being bumped in to by random people. Definitely recommend this place.

In Campbell River to attend a wedding tomorrow, our group was looking for a place that we could…read morehave dinner together. We were 22 strong, so taking care of us on short notice looked like it could be an issue. Not for Fifty Parallel! I called at a few minutes before 5 PM and asked if they could accommodate 20ish folks at 7 PM. I was put on hold for a minute and told that yes they could, that doesn't happen often. The staff took exceptional care of all of us. They were very friendly, accommodating and just right. The place was hopping the entire time we were there, so the locals must enjoy the place as well. The menu is quite wide ranging, from Greek fare, to Italian, pizza, seafood, you name it. Usually when there are this many choices they are decent at the range, but not outstanding at anything. Not the case here, everyone raved about the food and the beverages as well. Our beer drinking crowd loved the selection of mainly BC product. Couldn't have gone better, and we will be sure to return our next time in Campbell River.

Intrigued we both ordered a plateful, and The Walter ($16.95) was enough for two: a huge mounded plateful of chicken chow mein, sweet and sour pork, and "almond chicken" (actually peanuts). I ordered a smaller ($12.95) plate of deep fried prawns and chicken chow mein. I enjoyed it, and it was as expected: old-school 70s style Cantonese-Canadian comfort food. Not gourmet, but satisfying in a vacation mode sort of way. We took the rest of The Walter to enjoy the next day. Otherwise there is s standard fare pub menu. Excellent, friendly service. Nice patio if you want to get out of the darkish interior. It's worth another visit . . .

Starving myself I agreed that would be pretty tasty right now we were going to go to Courtenay to look for one but as we were passing the Griffin she suggested we go there. I hadn't been for a few years so agreed when she mentioned she had been with her daughter recently and it was good. Oddly the couple setting next to us were having a Reuben and it looked amazing. They suggested we split one as it was quite large. So we did that and added a side salad in addition to the fries. Good choice! The server was super friendly although she did disappear near the end for over 20 minutes and we eventually went up to the bar to pay our bill. So for the half sandwich and a soda water and a tip it was $28 if I recall correctly. The sandwich was good, as were the fries and salad and I would definitely go again.
