He was super knowledgeable about the menu (we found out he is also a cook there - what a great combination!) and very attentive and just sweet. We all ordered very different things and everyone was happy with their food. I just got chicken wings as I follow a low carb diet and was happy to find they weren't breaded. I will see about 8 wings and a soda water cost me almost $30 so I won't be back any time soon but the wings were baked perfectly and the hot sauce was truly a medium!

And the food is fantastic too, so that doesn't hurt ;) I was traveling solo to Courtenay last week, and Off Main had popped up in my search as a nice spot for a late brunch/lunch. When I went, I had to wait for about 10-15 minutes, and then I was seated at the same time as this retired couple by the window. It turns out they were regulars at this restaurant, which gave me confidence about how good the food would be--after all, who would be a regular at a horrible food establishment? I ordered a half size chicken and waffles. Super crispy chicken, silky hollandaise, and excellent house made hot sauce. Though the order took a long time to make (super busy day!), my server offered me a drink on the house to apologize. And throughout the meal, I got to chat with the couple seated next to me, which was also so lovely. After they left, one of the servers told me that they had paid for my meal. What an incredibly kind act. I left a thank you note with the staff, in hopes they will get it next time they're back. My server also hand wrote me a list of local recommendations for places to go and where to eat around there. Wow. Just good vibes all around. I can't wait to go back the next time I'm on the island.

Oh My Lord !! Of the…read morecountless breakfast joints have eaten at over so many decades, THIS PLACE is in the top 5. First off, THEY ARE ALL SO SWEET and Kind and Hospitable... They REALLY WANT to give You an excellent meal and experience... They 'SEE' You as a person and not just someone who walked in... I ordered an Omelette and was recommended to add shallots and cherry tomatoes to it. Came with a delicious toast and potatoes which were deep fried... The omelette tasted like it came from a Home Kitchen - truly authentic taste and SO GOOD !! Could tell that the ingredients they used were local and fresh - don't really get that taste in majority of the places i've been to... The Coffee was good and they came by several times to make sure i was having a good experience... If i lived nearby I WOULD EAT HERE EVERY SINGLE DAY !! I had the urge to hug these people for SUCH a delightful experience but then stopped myself :) MOST DEFINITELY coming back here again whenever am in the vicinity to try more items...
