Soft, buttery - more or less what you're looking for in fish and chips. But they come in these perfectly shaped rectangular blocks that look like they've been pulled out of a box. Not what I was expecting at all. None of those glorious big blocks of fish-shaped fillets with ample batter all around. Kind of disappointing. Chips - 3/5 Servicable, nothing special. You can tell they made it from real potatoes, but that's about it. Chowder - 4.5/5 Delicious! They give you a really small cup (my only gripe), but the chowder has lots of ingredients, is flavorful, and really quite tasty. Popcorn Shrimp - 4.5/5 Great popcorn shrimp. Big pieces of shrimp, well-fried but not overdone, lots of shrimp in the bag. Tastes great with the marinara sauce. Overall - pretty good! Would come back, but maybe more for the popcorn shrimp.

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.

I am a total freak for mussels. As in if they're on the menu, I have to order them, and you'd…read morebetter stay out of my way. The mussels at Finn's were some of the most delicious I've had in a very long time. Perfectly cooked, delicious broth, and the bread was faaaantastic. We also got the smoked steelhead pizza. At first, the "WTF, fish on a pizza?" makes you shake your head, until you put a perfect slice of that oddity in your mouth, and then realize fish has ALWAYS belonged on pizza. Then, when you dip your pizza crust into the remaining broth from the mussels? Brah. Roll me out the door because I am fat and happy. Huge shout out to our bartender, Amrit. It was apparent that they were short staffed, but he rocked the service well and the bar top. Also, as a bartender, it was awesome to see the manager efficiently helping out, not just going behind the bar and being in the way. They're both obviously great at their jobs.

The food was DELICIOUS. I had the surf & turf, and it was top tier. The steak was cooked to perfection, juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The lobster and shrimp practically melted in my mouth.

The atmosphere was relaxed and chill, making it a great place to sit back and enjoy an incredible meal without feeling overly formal. Fantastic food, great drinks, and wonderful service.
