I have been to this pub/restaurant several times over the years and at times it has been good! It…read moreis not good anymore. The service was decent and the cocktails were tasty but the food was terrible. I had the Butternut Squash Ravioli in Brown Butter Sauce..... I know, it sounds tasty right? I was in awe of what was served me. It looked like a pile of condensed cream of mushroom soup and was burnt. I know that brown butter is halfway to burnt butter, but apparently the chef didn't know the difference. In addition to being burnt, the sauce had a strange consistency and had dried cranberries, walnuts and goat cheese... the whole thing was disjointed to say the least. We get out for a kid free meal only a couple of times a year and can't help feeling like this was a waste.

Honestly, pretty disappointing, especially for how expensive it is. I liked that they had sorbets…read moreand a non-dairy option, but I was really disappointed that the flavors were not good. The coconut sorbet tasted really artificial, almost like there was too much extract added. This is the only place to get ice cream (that I'm aware of), so I guess they don't have to try very hard.

Once charged me twice for a meal and said it was my credit card's doing and the card said they put it through twice. And again tonight, I ordered TWO meals the same (I have the receipt) via UberEats and got two different meals. I phoned and the manager said I was wrong, the order he sent was correct. I HAVE THE RECEIPT! I was charged for the two exact meals! What happened to the customer is always right? ESPECIALLY when they are!

This little place is a hidden gem which should not be missed. While visiting on a weekend, we heard…read moreabout this place from a local. It is a little stand facing the street, which looks underwhelming at first glance. BUT, they offer delicious coffee and delicious breakfast sandwiches and fast friendly service for a reasonable price. Don't skip on the spicy breakfast sauce. I don't typically like spicy sauces especially on breakfast food but it is SO good. We make it a rule not to go to the same places when on vacation so we can try new places but we broke it here. We went back both mornings because the sandwiches were so good. The only downside is there is no place to really sit and eat outside so you would need to take your food to go and sit in your car, go back to hotel or air bnb, unless it is nice out and you can find a bench somewhere. Overall, this place was a hit and I suggest you try it if ever in Friday Harbor.

I do love how they smash and fry them so there are crispy bits. The bacon was really good too! The only real negative is everything needed salt and I am not usually a salt person but dang!

We ordered Deluxe Beef Burger ($18.50), Clubhouse Sandwich ($16), Chicken Strips ($15.50) and a can of Coke ($3). All the food had a heart portion. They were freshly made and fries were perfectly done. We had our food with fries which also can be substituted for salad or soup. Everything was delicious. Portion was bigger than I thought it would be. Chicken strips were crispy and tender. Deluxe Burger was amazing it was loaded with different toppings including mushrooms. Clubhouse was pretty good as well. There were so much fries. We could eat fries endlessly while tummies feeling full. This restaurant really IS a hidden gem in Sidney. I'll remember to stop by again on my future visits to Victoria.
