I will say the price point was very fair for the range of dishes and quality in service you're provided. Staff was exceptionally attentive and sweet. I let them know in the reservation it was his bday and at the end of the meal he got a little slice of cake! From what I gather, other customers were also very pleased with their meals and some were frequent diners so I would definitely recommend this for a small intimate date night or even a larger bday group. It was both of our first times in Canada and this was the perfect meal to treat ourselves to on our last night. Thank you not so Ugly Duckling!

The servers were so friendly and welcoming, and the chowder is to DIE for. The burger wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't bad; the seafood chowder just really overshadowed it. If you want more than just soup, I highly recommend getting it as a replacement for fries with a handheld. My partner got the beef dip and that was an excellent sandwich, tender and well-seasoned. If you're on your way in or out of the Swartz Bay terminal, this is an excellent stop for a solid meal near the coast with charming decor.

We stopped here from brunch after walking the WestBay walkway on Canada Day. We got a seat easy on the patio and had a great view of all the fancy yachts and harbour traffic. Our waitress was lovely and complimented us on our Canadian inspired outfits. We ordered two cesars - non alcoholic and gin. The garnish 2 olives and 2 beans were awesome but my Cesar lacked ice which you can't skimp on, you want that clam juice cold! Their Cesar also is on the sweeter side almost like a ketchup flavour whereas I like a spicy savoury Cesar leaning heavier on horseradish. For brunch we had the smoked salmon mousse bagel with fresh greens and the beet and ricotta Benny with hashbrowns. Both dishes were excellent and beautifully presented. The salmon mousse was rich and decadent - not sure I could have had both sides as it was quite rich but my husband and I were sharing dishes so it worked well! The beet and ricotta benny was really nice - light and creamy. The only thing lacking was seasoning to the hashbrown patties - they look better than they taste. All in all this is a spot to stop at whether you're going for a coffee and treat, a full on dinner or a nice weekend brunch! High recommend!

With the weather warmed up and the patio opened, you cannot hope for a marina view any better than this. An amazing view from every seat whether you are seated inside or outside. Staff is very warm and helpful. This is the kind of place where you go for a date night - and get a nice cocktail and the chat the night away. We managed to get a reservation on short notice on a Friday night. We went as a family of 3 - 2 adults, 1 fiver-year old. Things we got - 1. West Coast Fish Chowder - nice but can be skipped. I ordered it for my son as a safe option and yes, he liked it very much. 2. Chicken Liver Parfait - very good! Must try!! To be honest, I am not a fan of chicken liver in general. I have had it a few times in other places and have never been able to go beyond the first bite but my spouse really likes it. We checked with our server before ordering this and she was very encouraging to give it is a go and I am so glad we did! It was very well made and was served with a orange/lemon marmalade which really complimented the pate. 3. Duck Confit - Good! 4. Smash Burger - Must have been very good. My five-year old swiped it clean without one word. 5. Boom Margarita - nice! 6. Earl Grey Sour - Very very nice - must try!! 7. Pasta with spicy arrabbiata sauce - Flavors were good but the pasta came caked from the get go which was very unfortunate since the dish had the potential to pack a punch. Just our luck I guess! I was too shy to bring it to their notice and ate whatever I could. The staff and ambiance made sure we had a great time and we will be back for sure to try more of their menu, perhaps during brunch or an early lunch to take advantage of those amazing marina views.
