It was actually quite nice. I think it has gone down hill. My fish and chips was not good. The fish was heavy with oil and overcooked. The chips look like the ones leftover in the bottom of the fry container. They were broken up oilly dry and no taste really. My husband's burger was not seasoned he said it was bland. I don't think I would go back

The food is good - and they have great half-price wine specials, marked-down appies and reduced price beer during their daily happy hours. The fireplace seating is wonderful on chilly days and the patio is nice for summer. Michelle, our most usual server, is the right mix of friendly, fast and funny.

We asked a couple locals where they ate pizza, and they suggested the other place that rhymes with bilanders bizza. We called Mr. J's Pizza because it was closer to our hotel, and chose it on a whim. When I drove up to the restaurant, I thought it was a crack shack. It even had a crummy patio set in front - in the middle of winter. I met Mr. J in the flesh - a friendly face who during conversation, admitted that part of his restaurant's signature flair was the hole-in-the-wall feel. His own words were "slum-like." But let that not dissuade you. Upon arriving at our hotel room, the first bite was pure bliss. The pizza had all the best features of some of our favourite Vancouver pizza joints. I kid you not, we noted it's worth visiting Courteney just for the pizza. Mind you, we came here only to find a deal on a used car, so we're probably not the best ones to trust. No... We are... This pizza is awesome. I wish I hadn't eaten my half so quickly :(

I'm a bit of a creature of habit and I generally go for a dark beer but they've been out of my favourite Nitro for a while but I've found options. The fries are lovely and crispy and always hot. We usually get two tacos to share between three of us - beef brisket and beef barria I think it's called. They are completely different taste profiles and the accompanying sauces are delish. It's basically on an outdoor patio that's been screened in with plastic with lovely space heaters that keep everyone warm. There are a few seats inside as well but I've never been there. The ambiance is lovely - it's always buzzing with people coming and going and it's often a bit of a wait for a seat but once sitting down you aren't disturbed except with the lovely staff delivering food. Every staff person I've encountered has been friendly and while super busy seem to really enjoy being there. Wide variety of people too - people from the ski hill, pre theatre people, after work people. And the best part? Dogs are allowed!!

For the most part it was very good, but fell short of a five star experience. With reservations we were seated quickly in the restaurant which was decorated for the holiday season. First thing I noticed is haw far I sunk into the seat, and I'm not a big dude. Second thing I noticed was the dirty wine glass in front of the lovely K. They took it away when it was noted with another off the table, but did not replace them. Our guests arrived and as locals they had been here on occasion and spoke highly of the place. Drinks were ordered and came out along with a bottle of wine. Still only two wine glasses, which our waiter offered to fetch, but I just gave mine to K. Should've already been dealt with. Both couples ordered the Caesar salad which we were told was big enough to share, and was. Pretty good salad, but the romaine was left large enough you had to cut it with a knife to get it anywhere close to bite sized. The entrees were good, a couple of chicken two ways, a lamb, and an eight ounce strip loin. My chicken was a little over and had no real carbohydrate on the plate. K's steak was cut right down the middle, for presentation, which she does not like as the steak cools too quickly. Overall it was good, not fantastic. I also noted the AC/ heat above our table needed a vacuum as it was very dusty, a little thing, but it's blowing air down on us. We'd give it another go, but there are things to improve upon.

Got there..no musician... we were sat at a table beside 6 incredibly LOUD people who I swear didn't stop yelling and shouting for the two hours we were there. Not your fault, I know, but had you asked us if we would like to be moved...we would have said YES! But your staff hardly ever came by. The reason we were there for two+ hours wasn't because we just didn't want to leave...but we were held hostage by the slow service, food delivery and receiving of the bill. I finally had to walk to the desk to get it. Food was not great (or good). The cheese dip was more like a cheddar soup and didn't even stick to a chip! The rubbery calamari on a he salad had no grill marks on it at all. Maybe boiled? There was a piece of bacon in the salad ...which tasted good. Not in the description. Worth the one star I'm forced to give you. My sangria tasted like watery wine and the glass of riesling wine my husband received was pink. Two birthday desserts were comped but my dessert was literally dropped on the plate. Top of cheesecake fell off the bottom in the landing. Creme brûlée is serve with a golden caramelized sugar topping NOT a pile of aerosol whipped cream. Coffee at $3.50 was barely warm, old and bitter. That's how I feel writing this review. Bitter.

I really liked the high ceilings and the water view. I was able to sit anywhere I liked as it was quiet the morning I came and had the choice between the breakfast and lunch menu. I decided to try their classic burger and got a beer with it. The burger was decent and my server was kind enough. The fries were good and hand cut. There were only a few tables when I was there and I found the service and the food a-ok. There is nothing wrong with this place, but there wasn't anything spectacular either besides the view and ambience. I can't quite put my finger on it and perhaps I would have had a better time here if I came when there was live music or more people. But if you're around the area it is a nice place to just grab a burger and a beer and hang out for a bit.
