Just simply looking at the exterior, the place appeared to be a pub. The signage says the same thing! I later find out that it's split into two. A pub side and a restaurant side, separated from each other. You wouldn't have guessed that at all. The restaurant side is a bit more upscale and has nicer decor for a sit down meal. Great view of the beach is a bonus! Friendly service and decent food.

Not good. My husband and I went for an anniversary lunch…read more He had the mussels, they were very small and five were empty shells. They were rubbery and the wine sauce was tasteless. I had lobster Mac and cheese. There was hardly any lobster and it tasted like canned substitute, the Mac was not in a good cheese sauce (like it was a few years back) in fact there was no sauce at all. There was a thick layer of marble cheese melted on the top, which made it very greasy although it was still somehow dry. Very disappointed, we had our first date there and return each year. This is the last year though.

It was still enjoyable sea breeze, but if you're looking for waterside dining, this is not that. We seated ourselves, had to ask for menus, but the service was friendly. Food was delicious. We had the fish tacos and lobster mini sliders w a side of clam chowder. Fish was crispy and tender. Nice balance of sauce in the taco with a lightly crisped flour tortilla. The mini lobster sliders were very cute and tasty. The rolls were soft. Clam chowder had plenty of clams and potatoes. Prices were reasonable. Ambiance was casual. Would recommend.

The service and atmosphere is great.

Wonderful olde English atmosphere. Very good selection of beers on tap. Staff is very helpful in setting up patrons with dishes that allow for dietary restrictions (like gluten intolerance). What I particularly liked is that they were able to make fish and chips for me that was panko breaded rather than battered. I know battered fish and chips is the 'English' way, but few restaurants this side of the Atlantic get battered fish right. All too often it's too much batter, or the fish is really greasy. I didn't feel like taking a chance, so the kitchen breaded my fish and it was really nicely done. The bread pudding is also a standout. THE THORNS: None worth mentioning. THE VERDICT: Fox and Hounds is one of those rare pubs that puts as much (or more?) thought into their food as they do their beer. It's a wonderful 'little bit 'o Britain' in the quiet backwater town of Ladysmith BC Highly recommend!

Probably the most romantic bar to be in Ukee. Great views, with tables both indoors or outdoors…read more Nice dim lighting. High end decor. Great attentive service. I only had a root beer, so can't comment on the cocktails. For food, I only had the Qualicum Clams. It is under the "snacks" section, but the portion is big enough for a light dinner. Super delicious, some of the best clams I've ever had. Fresh, big, and juicy, with a nice tomato based sauce. Not cheap at $18, but considering the portion size, environment, views, and great service it felt like a bargain. Especially in an expensive place like Ukee.

We were pleasantly impressed by the wonderful view from the patio overlooking Porpoise Bay. The service was very welcoming and friendly. We ordered the fish and chips that we noticed other customers were enjoying as well as a glass of white wine. While waiting for our meal we enjoyed the lovely view of the mountains, bay and boats while sipping on our glass of wine. Everything was perfect! The meal arrived and it was beyond my expectations. I rarely order fish and chips and I would definitely order it again at the lighthouse pub. The fish was delicious and the fries were perfectly crispy. The portions were great for me and my big appetite. The price was reasonable for such a lovely meal and atmosphere. I look forward to going back to eat there again on my next visit.

Lovely pub located on the Sechelt Inlet wharf, right next to the seaplane airport…read more Amazing views of the Inlet, especially at sunset. The menu is quite large, lots of mains and handhelds to choose from. Our group ordered the salmon burger, beef burger, beef quesadilla and pasta carbonara. All was good and tasty. Especially loved the yam fries!! Our only complaint was the wait. It took a while to get our drinks, and also to order the food. For drinks I ordered a lavender coconut margarita, it was quite strong and a bit too salty. The others had different beers so no issues on that side. Overall a good place to have a relaxed meal.
