    Mimosa flight (6oz): Cran, grapefruit, classic (orange)

    Always amazing food and service but be prepared to wait a bit! Always busy and rightfully so! They offer to text when it's your turn to be seated so it's nice to check in and go for a little walk at the marina if needed. Love that they do mimosa flights!

    Dining on the patio!

    This place is a cute little hidden gem! Anyone who comes to visit me in Comox, I take them to Tidal! All the food and sauces and such are homemade. Sooo good. We had Dayton I believe his name was, or Dakota? He was super fabulous with the best eyelashes I've ever seen! Anyways, amazing server and it really added to the experience! :) If you sit outside on their patio, there's a lovely view of the ocean and mountains - it's amazing. So, ambience on point. The service is outstanding and the food is absolutely fantastic!! Everything I've had there I love! Great reviews from my gf's too. The bennys, pancakes, avo toast - all great choices! I'll be back! :)

    This might be my favorite customer service I have ever experienced in my life. It's not that…read moreeverything was smooth and efficient; it was more about the attitude and personalities of the wonderful people who served me. I am blown away by how genuine the staff here are! And the food is fantastic too, so that doesn't hurt ;) I was traveling solo to Courtenay last week, and Off Main had popped up in my search as a nice spot for a late brunch/lunch. When I went, I had to wait for about 10-15 minutes, and then I was seated at the same time as this retired couple by the window. It turns out they were regulars at this restaurant, which gave me confidence about how good the food would be--after all, who would be a regular at a horrible food establishment? I ordered a half size chicken and waffles. Super crispy chicken, silky hollandaise, and excellent house made hot sauce. Though the order took a long time to make (super busy day!), my server offered me a drink on the house to apologize. And throughout the meal, I got to chat with the couple seated next to me, which was also so lovely. After they left, one of the servers told me that they had paid for my meal. What an incredibly kind act. I left a thank you note with the staff, in hopes they will get it next time they're back. My server also hand wrote me a list of local recommendations for places to go and where to eat around there. Wow. Just good vibes all around. I can't wait to go back the next time I'm on the island.

    Fun little local find! We were visiting on our boat from Seattle and I had read about it online. We…read morestopped in for breakfast and it was out of this world. Both of us had the Eggs Benedict with Pork Belly - delicious! Our waitress was a hoot and so attentive. We will be back next year when we come back to visit.
