There was plenty of parking, ambient seating, and a lively mix of mostly older patrons. All in all, a place with good chemistry.

Loved their peach Bellini drink here, and their fish and chips are definitely the way to go! Service was friendly and the restaurant is kept well clean overall. Prices are what you'd expect them to be, in my opinion. No complaints here, if I'm ever in Powell River again I'll definitely be back.

For Appy's we got the Poutine and BBQ Chicken bites that had a bit of a Korean Gojijan flavour which we enjoyed.

We also got a Smash burger which was excellent and the Cod burger was fantastic, nice size piece of fish! Also tried the root beer in a bottle that was sooooo good.

You need to order at the table with your phone or at the counter then the food is brought out to you.

I feel they are losing lot of money from drinking a dessert orders. The chairs aren't that comfortable either. The food is good. Some easy fixes this place would be outstanding.

Called to…read moremake a reservation and we were told that we can get a table at 7:45pm ( I called around 6pm) and then the lady said to come down as the patio was FCFS anyways. We came down , had a short wait and got seated inside. Nicely laid out space - got a window booth so we can kind of look outside at the patio patrons. Perused the menu - offered 3 items for kids, mocktails and varied items that would suit GF and vegetarian diners. We ordered calamari to start, the i ordered the Summer salad with added chicken, hubby got the 2 piece fish & chips and the kid got the seafood linguini. Ordered the Golden hour mocktail , Blue buck beer and of course a shirley temple. Food- the calamari came first and first bite was that it was tender and not overcooked, a bit of spice and tasty. However, had more and noticed that the batter in some places tasted undercooked and a couple pieces had the nice crunchy beak ( I thought it my tooth) and was pretty much done- the hubby & kid didn't get the bonus beak. My salad was pretty good at first with the sweet and savoury combination but at the end, with the dressing at the bottom it was very sweet and needed more citrus to balance it out. The seafood linguini was full of big prawns, scallops, clams and in a savory creamy sauce - there was spinach and mushrooms as well but the kid hates mushrooms but just picked them out and almost finished it all. Hubby's fish & chips - fish he found too heavy on the batter and I agree - he just pulled the batter off and fries were just okay. Service was okay, got water topped up and the server checked on us a couple of times. Overall, the food was just alright and the calamari bonus and too much batter had me deduct a star. Lovely, clean place just that the food was not up to the previous reviews .
