Came on a Monday in June around 6:30 and were able to order quickly and food also came out quickly. Got the fried fish tacos, pulled pork poutine, kids burger, and cod fish and chips.

A quaint small town, we decided for a relaxed upscale comfort food meal. Although a fairly spread out restaurant it is advised to go early and have a reservation. Wait staff were friendly and did great getting dishes off the table waiting for the next course. Ordering a couple of local Pilsners from the Hoyne Brewing company, we started with a great fresh Shelter salad and half dozen pristine oysters; so fresh and creamy! Main course were side-striped shrimp and mussel fettuccine. On recommendation from our waiter I opted for the Fish and Chips and was not disappointed by the light batter fried Cod and the tasty mound of real cut fries. A filling excellent meal and evening!

The entire place felt elevated but cozy - our table was upstairs under beautiful wooden beams and big windows overlooking the town. The vibe was lively but not too loud on a Tuesday evening. Service started out wonderfully and we regularly received fresh table settings between courses, however we had a switch in waitstaff later in the meal and it was incredibly slow at the end. No big deal since we weren't in a rush but something to note that it could be hit or miss. The food, on the other hand, was 100% on point. We ordered the potato crusted oyster appetizer and I was blown away - innovative and delicious. For my main, I got the halibut in a curry sauce that was just perfection.

While the price tag looks expensive, it the burger came with three nuggets of fish, which was more than fit on the bun - I took one off and ate the burger with just 2 pieces, and fish was still spilling out. Besides the fish, there was also a heaping of slaw and arugula on the burger. It was delicious - the fish was tender and flaky and the slaw was really good. The bun didn't fall apart even with a ton of stuff on it. The fries were standard shoestring fries and they were kind of greasy. I got a side of habanero hot sauce to dip them in and that was pretty good. It had a decent kick but not extreme heat. Dips are kind of pricy at $1.5-2 for a small cup, but ketchup is free at the tables. How it works is you order and pay at the entrance, take a buzzer and seat yourself, and get your food at the counter when the buzzer goes off. The older lady taking orders was very cheerful.

And of course there are TV's. They were a little busy when I visited on a Monday night but you didn't need a reservation to be seated right away. The service was good. My waitress was very friendly. While the food wasn't lightning fast, it took less time than I expected to get my entree after ordering given that they seemed busy, and my dessert came out very quickly. I had: Foragers martini: This tasted exactly as you would expect from the name. Spruce-flavoured anything was not actually in the ingredient list, but I would describe the flavour of the cocktail as "sprucey". It was pleasantly strong. Grilled wild sockeye salmon: My first thought was that this was a small portion for the price, but the huge plate was deceiving and this was actually a very satisfying serving with a large cut of salmon and a healthy heaping of farro salad. The salmon was cooked perfectly - I loved how the skin got crispy and flaky. The farro salad was hearty and delicious on its own or with the salmon, and the pickled fennel and the orange coulis were interesting compliments to enhance the dish. Chocolate basque cheesecake: I was going to choose this anyway, but my waitress also recommended it. This was a great basque cheesecake - rich with a slightly burnt crust. The candied hazelnut brittle totally elevated it. The slice was big enough to share, but it was really good and surprisingly not too heavy, so I finished it by myself easily. It was so expensive though... I was staying at the hotel so I got 10% off food, and even then I spent $80 after tip! I knew it was going to be expensive and decided to treat myself since it was my last night in Tofino, but I think without the 10% I would've gone somewhere else anyway. Even with the whole "elevated" thing and acknowledging that the food and drink was not at all what I would consider typical sports bar food, it felt so bad to spend $80 on one person at a place calling itself as a sports bar.

I also love how there are no bones. I loved all the sauces you could choose to go with them. My only complaint is that you couldn't just buy an extra thigh as a side. I had to try it, but the meal was a bit much for me at lunch time. My boyfriend and I came for lunch one day, and it was so good we returned with our friends the next day so they could try it. Everyone, kids included really enjoyed their meal. We tried the thighs with a few different sides. The waffle fries and the corn bread were the standouts. I wanted to try a couple of the sandwiches or the bowl, but unfortunately we're sold out. I saw people eating them and they looked delicious. The only thing I didn't love were the wings. They were a bit greasy for me, but everything else was top notch. Only wish this place was open later, when I have more of an appetite for fried food. Great place for a quick bite and the views at the end of the road are spectacular.
