Often considered one of the best privately owned beer and wine stores in Nanaimo…read more That statement is not without some backing. Firstly, their prices are one of the more competetive compared to other beer and wine stores. The Windward Beer and Wine Store over by the hospital is considered one of the most expensive. Secondly, they go out of their way to get different and unique items and are more than willing to get something in for a customer. Their hours are very reasonable as well. Basically if you are in town and need to head to a Beer and Wine store than try to make your way here rather than some of the other ones nearby.

Some of those young students staff were especially so kind to me when I was so badly injured. They have a good selection and I especially love the convenience of their fabulous organic and health section that beats all the other stores. I love it when they bring in the fresh dandelion leaves and so did my naturopath who cured a patient of a serious health issue when I told their office that the leaves were available at Country Grocer! I actually love this store due to its organized aisles and cleanliness, too. (We won't be mentioning the problems at other stores...) Listen - they even sell organic soil and pretty flowers!!! Love it! Would never go anywhere else. xo

Fours stars for a typically dull off-sales... Say what?…read more Well... I learned a valuable lesson over the weekend. That the little stores sometimes get stuck with "random" bottles of wine that they can't sell to their regulars. So there we were loading up from their limited selection of REAL ciders and we (OK, so it was Crystal H) noticed a 2005 Razer's Edge Shiraz sitting all alone on the shelf. Uh........ "Holy Sechelt", I yelped. The elusive '05 RE. That is an incredible bottle of wine that I searched out in Vancouver 4 years ago with very limited success. I miraculously found one in a BC liquor store and cellared it for three years. And when I finally opened it last year... well, lets just say there was some magic happening at the dinner table. Back to the lesson at Lighthouse. Of course I bought their lonely bottle. And it is likely that it's already peaked in taste. But who cares. What a find! Support the little guys, and you just never know what you may discover.

At some point, either new management or a new chef came in and the whole menu was revamped. Three times my family tried it and every time something was wrong-undercooked chicken, bland items or receiving the wrong order. We stopped going because the food was just too inconsistent. The multilevel building is cool and has a nice patio, so it's unfortunate that their kitchen let me down so often. I will say customer service was always decent.

My other friend ordered a big salad with spicy tofu, and I ordered the Banh mi bowl. It was all amazingly delicious. We were so pleased to see so many Vegan options! But the highlight was the Vegan poutine. None of us had tasted poutine before and this version was amazing! Our server knew what she was talking about and was able to ensure all our dishes were fully vegan. Service was excellent and quick. The place was airy with the bay door open and the music was not too loud. Overall a magnificent experience! Don't miss this place!
