Sorry it took so long to get this review done and posted!!…read more I took my mother and my adult son here for a nice dinner while we were going to through a tough time of mourning the loss of my father. Nothing helps heal the soul like a good meal right..!? All I can say is this place is truly a gem. I am a foodie and enjoy great food around the world. I love it when I see someone bring big city, high quality Michelin level to small towns. Well done folks! Keep up the good work and I look forward to see you next time I'm in town. Thanks as well for the lovely coasters. They look great on my home made redwood river table ;)

The local oysters, both fresh shucked and baked, are incredible. The seafood chowder is honestly the best I've ever had, and the freshly baked focaccia with their signature garlic sauce is perfection. There really isn't anything I could not recommend on the menu. Be sure to save room for the sticky toffee pudding!!! You'll love the food, the view, and the whole experience. Big Cheers to chef Ryan and his team for creating this place!!!

The service is second to none. They are well informed, friendly, and very professional. When you then factor in the ambiance.

Although we did not see any whales (our daughters did a couple of weeks ago) we did watch multiple sea birds splashing about. Definitely on our must go list every time we are near Campbell River!

We've had lunch at Cuckoo's once before so we knew pretty much what we were getting ourselves into…read more It's decorated in quite a traditional manner, and currently set up for Christmas. The floors look to be original hardwood, and there are lots of beams and logs to see. I personally love the old style look, but it might not be to everyone taste. The service is quite good, our server especially, although it did seem like one individual was more interested in polishing glasses and not running food or bussing tables. He was a little passive aggressive with another staff member when he did run a couple of plates, came back and said "see that wasn't that hard." Not a good look. The food was quite good, although we felt, this time like the last, it was a little on the expensive side. It is quite a tourist mecca just outside of Parksville so that's likely part of the reason. It's also quite busy so clearly people are willing to pony up. We had the soup of the days Chantrelle mushroom soup. Evidently those mushroom are very plentiful in the area this time of year. It was quite good, creamy for sure, but we would have liked some more noticeable bits of mushroom. We also shared a Caprese salad which needed more balsamic and a little salt. The capers were a nice add. We finished with Margherita pizza which was nicely cooked and finished with fresh basil. Can't believe I am saying this, but there was too much cheese on it and maybe a little shy on the tomato sauce. Peroni beer on tap is a total winner for me. Have been twice, might go again, but likely not.

Yelp maps said it was more than 2 kilometres away, so not sure what happened there. Moxies did not disappoint, and our server Shaye was absolutely excellent. Outgoing, friendly and very good at what she did. Even took the time to make sure K's veggies were cooked on the more well done side that she prefers. Kudos to the kitchen also, for making it happen, small details matter. Her steak was cooked perfectly, and the mashed potatoes very nice. My Beet salad was very well made although I prefer my beets to be a little more al dente. The blackened chicken was good, if perhaps a little over. I believe they use a seasoned breast, which is not my favourite. Our beverages were nicely made, that said wine is difficult to mess up, but a good martini is not easy. The decor is typical Moxies, they are all pretty much the same. That said familiarity is often comforting, and we certainly felt that way. We will be back for sure.

Mid-day meal we order the Cobb salad with salmon, and the Salmon Entrée…read morewith sides of roasted vegetables. The Salmon entree was grilled and a nice size of fish. Served with baby zucchini, roasted heirloom carrots. The Cobb salad was very different than any Cobb I have had before. It was an iceberg head halved wedge style topped with whole slices of bacon, croutons, heirloom tomatoes, feta, avocados, capers, hard boiled egg halves with an interesting yolk filling, a tasty white sauce with a slab of grilled salmon on top. It was a very nice change. Dined in a spacious lounge off set from the crowded main room suggested by the host. Service was 5 star and it was excellent way to spend lunch.

And making the reservation here is a bit complicated. You have to call, which is OK, but there's no confirmation email or anything telling you indeed have a table booked. Please make sure you double or triple check it before you show up for your dinner. Even though we booked over the phone a couple of weeks in advance, we were not on the list. Fortunately, we were lucky they were able to squeeze us in. Despite this unfortunate booking incident, I would still recommend you to visit this place. The food was indeed delicious!
