Once again Yelp helped us to find a great breakfast spot while in Port Alberni checking it out. The…read moreplace is eclectically decorated, maybe not for everyone, but we liked it. Sat at the bar for something different. We were enthusiastically greeted and sat right away, menu's and water immediately. All the staff had smiles on their faces, and typical in a small town knew a lot of people's names as they walked in. Plenty of takeaway while we were there, so you know the food is good, and comes out hot. Our orders were taken (traditional brekkie) and our orders came out quite quickly in spite of how busy they were. The potatoes were a little plain for me, but I peppered as I usually do, and even added a bit of salt which I never do. The portions were a good size, the price was more than fair, and the service was great. We'll be back next time we are in the area and we'll give the lunch a go!

Ordered the Fish & Chips and Salad Special with greens, avocado, shrimp, feta, tomato. The fish was breaded and tasty with a lot of fries and coleslaw and good overall.

I ordered the seafood sandwich and I loved it but what honestly I loved most was the humble house side salad which said it all-the carrots were clearly graded fresh and the lettuce and cabbage and cucumbers and tomatoes were all delicious. I complemented the chefs and they came out and proudly told me that they get fresh food six days a week and took pride and telling me how they prepared the meal. When you can take a simple side salad and make it so startlingly fresh and lovely it tells you everything you need to know about a place.

Told us they just changed out the fry oil so would be extra hot, we ordered calamari and when it came it looked like what you can buy in any grocery stores frozen section, it was also way to over cooked. We got the 2 combo came with fish and chips and prawns. The prawns were clearly also store bought frozen and far to over cooked again. The chips were alright, could have been cooked a little longer, the fish was decent but extremely oily. Felt like a waste of $50+ Disappointed to say the least, I will not be returning.

Husband had the Starboard Burger which was a decent burger. Did not come with any sides. We decided to try the smoked pork poutine. We liked it okay, but we are new to poutine. Not the most healthy though. I had the tofu and peanut bowl, which was not what I expected at all. I thought it would be a kind of salad type bowl. Instead, It was more of a soggy stir fry with an overall sweet sauce, served with rice and a few pieces of nan bread. The tofu was deep fried. Not a good dish. Overall the menu was very large with many choices. Most dishes seemed a fusion of several cuisines, not all of them made sense.

In terms of food I ordered the chicken hotpot. Wish I ordered something else. Although it didn't taste bad it wasn't very impressive or flavorful or spicy. Maybe their specialities are their burgers?
