Truthfully, I go for their crepes, but my friends are always bey happy with their other menu choices too. The staff is friendly and we never feel rush to eat & leave. This isn't a place you need to really dress up to feel you fit in. However, you also could if the mood suits you & still not feel out of place. Truly, I am happy that they even have tables on the main level that accommodate those with mobility aids. However, that being said, I am struggling to recall if there would be a easy enough way for a wheelchair or even a walker to make it to the main door. I'll have to remember to focus on that long enough before my next crepe eating bliss hits. As Cowichan Bay is a popular area to stop for meals, do plan to go in advance for parking. As even if there are a few spots for the restaurant, there isn't enough space to accommodate the full restaurant. If you are able to find a spot at the restaurant or are double parking at the restaurant (which is apparently allowed), it is good to let the server know what vehicle is yours. Beyond more than mention "I've parked my vehicle here", so a server can notify you if people need to be let out of the space if they're leaving before you're done. If you don''re not lucky enough to grab a parking spot right at the restaurant, you might have to go far up the road (sometimes almost to the hotel) or down the road (towards the parking area by the pubic washrooms) to reach any parking options. Definitely try it out if you are looking fit an option in Cowichan Bay. I know I'm looking forward to many more future happy crepe eating moments here with friends.

It is a perfect side to have with the sweet and sour pork. The pieces of pork has always been very tender and moist with a crunchy coating. The sweet and sour sauce is a perfect balance without one ingredient over powering the other. The almond chicken batter is very crisp and crunchy and not dripping grease. The chicken meat is also moist and tender. The quality of this combo has been maintained for the past 10 years since I started making this my go to place for the Chinese combo special. Best to call first to make sure it is being served because the combo changes every so often.

Huge shoutout to Owner-turned-Mixology-Mastermind Jeff, who absolutely crushed it behind the bar -- every cocktail and mocktail was a handcrafted work of art that could hold court in any top-tier city. We're talking serious flavour fireworks here. And April -- what can we say? Her service made us feel like VIPs who owned the joint. She read the room, anticipated every move, and wrapped the whole evening in the kind of hospitality you can't teach: pure instinct, heart, and grace. The food? Next level. Every bite was a flex of flavor and presentation. The kitchen is clearly playing in its own league, balancing creativity with pure culinary muscle. Combine that with an ambience that feels like cozy meets cool, and you've got an absolute home run. If you haven't experienced Firehouse Grill yet, fix that immediately.

We LOVE Hanks!!!…read more When we arrived just a little before 9am on a Saturday morning, there were about 10 people ahead of us and about another 5 waiting for their order. The place is truly a bakery haven! They have so much stuff, from croissants, quiches, pies, sandwiches, sausage rolls, cookies, breads, danishes, scones, cakes, etc! We found it so difficult to choose but went with their sausage rolls, quiche and latte. The staff were so friendly and wearing their beautiful warm smiles. We drove out to Mill Bay and had our breakfast by the water, it was magical with the sunshine. LOVED the sausage roll; so moist and flavourful. The pastry was so flaky and I'm not even kidding when I say I wanna go back again tomorrow!!! The quiche was also delicious. It had lots of potatoes and was very filling. Again, the pastry was delicious. The latte was also nutty and velvety! Such a beautiful experience! Parking was tight but we found one shortly after we arrived. Hanks have parking stalls reserved for its customers, so be sure to check and park at the right spot. It is free.

Both of us were pleasantly surprised at the quality of food for the speed it arrived to our table & would happily return again for a less time crunched meal. Atmosphere was lovely & we didn't feel like we struggled to visit even though the place was fairly full by the time we arrived. There's various sized tables & smaller ones are along the wall as you enter. Lighting was nice & didn't bother my eyes (surprising as I was struggling with migraine light sensitivity earlier that day). FYI parking is a bit tricky to figure out as you're coming off the main hwy & assume there would be something in front or just past the restaurant. In fact it is actually before the restaurant prior to Mosaic. So just do a loop around the block & try again. The sidewalk takes you right up to the Mosaic door. I'm looking forward to trying more menu options for my next visit in Duncan.

One of our travel partners is Indian so we were drawn to the offerings on the menu. It was quite a variety with Italian, Indian, Mexican and American. We ordered four main dishes, an appetizer of Tandori chicken wings and our Indian friend expressed his complete joy in finding such good food at a reasonable cost. As it turned out we all four were more than satisfied with our meals. My steak Ragatoni we excellent and the desert was delicate, not too sweet, enjoyable without the heaviness that comes with some. All in all the service from the owner and her staff was beyond kind and attentive. We could not have asked for more from a meal.
