Love this place. The view is where it's at. Would like them to change the menu a little more often. Food is consistently good although I've hade everything on the menu now so.... read more

Exceptional food with healthy tasty selections. Exceptional service. Exceptional ocean view with killer sunset! I can't complain and look forward to my next meal there. Bravo, Wobbly Canoe! read more

The best hot chicken wings EVER! And the shrimp was amazing. Very friendly staff. Can't wait to go back.

Visited the Wobbly Canoe while visiting my mum on the Sunshine Coast. We had a wonderful lunch. The staff are so friendly and the space is open and bright. We both had the burger which was exceptional, very juicy and flavourful. It certainly doesn't hurt that the view out of the main windows is beautiful Davis Bay. I will definitely be back to try more food, the whole menu looked delicious!! read more

We were all disappointed in the food we had for dinner. The French fries were good. Ordered fish and chips and fish was the size of a chicken nugget. Buddha bowl was a salad essentially. Mac and cheese was boring. The service was very good. read more

Very loud place not romantic place to take your gf, wife. Im surprised its not just a put you have to sit outside if you want a conversation

awful experience the service is terrible. No high chairs for young children, drinks were to expensive for the amount you gets an extremely mediocre nothing special. wouldn't waste my time stopping here read more

Great atmosphere, amazing service! The view was breath taking and the manger really knows what she's doing with her staff! Manager recommended a lavender Tom Collins as a drink... loved it!!!!!! The view was as amazing as the service! read more

Wobbly Canoe has been open for a few months already, yet they refuse to offer either coffee or tea. An oddity for a restaurant, to be sure. I can safely say they are losing business because of this. Also, the menu is rather limited. On the other hand, the location is excellent. So much potential; we locals are hoping for an improvement. read more

Excellent food, beautiful ocean view and superb service by our wait staff Jocelyne. Don't be fooled by the picnic tables outside as sitting inside with comfy chairs, fun music and an upbeat atmosphere makes for a lovely dining experience. My only suggestion would be to expand the wine list to include chardonnay and other fine wines to compliment the delicious food. read more

After a spotty start, and some harsh reviews, we waited a few months. But today was a gorgeous end of August day, and the lovely patio was calling us. Service was friendly, quick and professional. Food came really quick, perhaps a little too quick, as we had just had our drinks for 5 minutes. Food was solid. No complaints. Fish and chips were a hit with my wife, and I enjoyed the Bahn Mi. With beers it all totaled $54, and with the view it was worth it. read more

Ordered a poke bowl, 1 taco and steamed mussels and crab legs .. and waited over 1 hour. The server could care less and didn't even offer to compensate in any way. Disappointment would be an understatement. The server advised "someone went home" at their kitchen but they are literally steaming seafood and putting raw fish in a bowl. read more

Food was great service was good view was awesome but the prices are far too high

My wife and I really enjoyed our visit to the Wobbly Canoe. The place was packed so instead of waiting for a table we sat at the bar. The food was good with a nice selection of local craft beers on tap. The place has a fun atmosphere with beautiful views of the Davis Bay coastline. We will be back! read more

Very relaxed and casual, good atmosphere, with honest and delicious food - with a menu suitable for most. The drinks menu was also very good, with lots of delicious and local options, but not too much that you're overwhelmed! The staff were very polite, and service was attentive. I'd definitely eat here again. read more

Ate here last night Great wait staff Really good kids menu especially crispy chicken Taco's for the adults were delicious (steak and the fish) Fish and chips also really good Crab legs were a little skinny though read more

visited Wobbly canoe with a friend for lunch, and ended up walking right out after shortly after. I found what I wanted unfortunately it was on the kids menu, 12 years and under. I kindly asked if I could older off the kids menu as I wanted the cheese and chicken quesadilla. I was told no I cant.. Fair I understand. I then asked could I pay MORE $ then what the menu has it listed at and I was told no. Instead of maybe trying to resolve that issue and suggest something else, nothing was said except would you still like your diet coke.... NOPE.. and walked out. If you want repeat customers go the little extra mile.. read more

Had an excellent lunch which included cod bites as an appy, my poke bowl and husband's falafel was delicious. Service was great and prices as expected. Would go back any day read more

Today we had an unpleasant dining experience at "Wobbly Canoe". 1) The "hostess" greeted us at the door and asked if there were just the two of us. She then said we could either sit at a table for 2 (beside a wall) or at a long communal table sitting on a bench. There were 2 tables available (seating for 4) one of which we had indicated that we would like. It seems they were not available for 2, although there were 2 people seated at a table for 4 further in the restaurant. We sat at the table for 2 by the wall. The restaurant was 25% full and it was after the lunchtime rush. 2) They were short on white wine so we took the one they had available. 3) We tried to order our food but were told they were out of 3 of the items we had ordered. We then decided to finish our drinks and leave. This restaurant failed on 3 fundamental levels and the failure falls on the management. R. & J. read more

Four of us enjoyed the Wobbly Canoe on a crowded Friday night. We were seated and served quite promptly considering the number of customers. We ordered four different dishes including a hamburger, tacos, the pork chop and a bowl. We were all satisfied with our reasonably priced choices. We noted a selection of well priced beers, but were mildly disappointed with the limited but quite pricey wine list. Beer next time! Generally, a satisfactory experience. read more

From the highway Wobbly Canoe looks inviting with a contemporary aesthetic, but its proximity right on the roadway with an ocean view presented the threat of a noisy lunch. But, once inside, delicious aromas from the open kitchen confirmed our group made a great choice. Incredible and patient service from Kelly to cater to my picky six year old and her sketchy manners was appreciated. My Cod taco and beef taco were delicious and fresh tasting. The aoli for fries tasted like love. Not a bargain place, but quality fresh ingredients and care in preparation. read more

Beautiful location across from the pier. Modern, fresh encironI went for a mid afternoon snack while driving from Sechelt to Gibsons for work. Moderately busy due to time of day, but I got a great spot by the window and enjoyed the view. My server was attentive, fast, and knowledgeable, offering suggestions on the menu. I had a delicious local beer on tap and ordered 2 fish tacos. Though a bit messy with sauce, they were great. Crispy tortilla, flavorful, and flaky cod. Full and satisfied, I hopped back on the highway! read more

I'm not reviewing the food so much as I'm reviewing my server (Lucy). My sister and I recently went there and were alternatively completely ignored or sneered at during the entire process. This woman should definitely get a different job, as 'serving' doesn't seem to be in her vocabulary. She was rude! She got our orders wrong, and when we pointed that out, she acted like it was our fault. She was incompetent. It took forever to get our water, drinks and bill. She never came and asked us how our meals were, when she finally got them right - she just slammed them on the table. If I could give a negative number review, I would. She needs an attitude adjustment (lobotomy) or just to go!!! Her attitude totally ruined our meal. read more

My husband and I are a fan of this restaurant. The food has not disappointed in the times we've been there. The staff are exceptionallly friendly and do a great job. BUT the one complaint we have is you can't get a cup of coffee OR a nonalcoholic beer. They've been open for a couple months now and it's a real oversight on their part. If you don't mind sticking to water or sofa pop the food is definitely worth going there. read more

My expectations may have been unrealistically high for the wobbly canoe as I have a personal connection to the wobbly canoes past (the beach buoy). That being said, I feel this review is best made with an asterisk beside it as the wobbly canoe is in it's infancy and should be allowed some grace to find it's sea legs and refine itself. Thus my three stars is for an excellent dining space that is comfortable and casual with an incredible view of Davis bay. Service was friendly and hard working constantly on point attending to their tables and the cleanliness of the room. Food was tasty, and well portioned. My only criticism was that my fish and chips batter was a little on the heavy side (nearly a corn dog batter) which made the fish seem small and the batter felt soft instead of light and crispy. Our table of four waited longer than what would ordinarily be acceptable, but again, as the restaurant is new, this is a staff that is still gelling and learning to push through rushes, so it's hard to pass too much judgement. My verdict at this point is to give them an honest chance and keep your expectations realistic when it comes to speed of service. Make no mistake, the value for the meal you receive is excellent and I hope that when I return to Sechelt next summer that the wobbly canoe will be running on all cylinders and I can upgrade my review from three stars to four or even five, as the potential certainly is there! read more

I am writing because one of the servers at this restaurant needs to be told to have manners and maybe more training. Firstly our server Lucy completely ignored us for at least 15 minutes after we sat down. Well I don't have the time or energy to detail every but suffice to say, we were not impressed with her unprofessional, rude and abrupt behaviour and will not be visiting this restaurant again anytime soon. read more

The staff went out of their way to accommodate our party of six. We all enjoyed the food & drinks. The three that ordered the pork chop were the envy of the others. Appies, drinks & food all arrived in a timely fashion. Would definitely go back. read more

Over priced food. Slow service. Its so squishy I had some stranger sitting next to me that sneezed all over my food. I do not recommend this place. read more

I have ordered clam chowder and fish taco. Both were rather tasteless. There was a group of 10 of us and not a single person was happy with the food. The atmosphere was nice, great to seat outside or inside with large window openings. I would only come back here for a beer... read more

Great place! We arrived around 730 on a warm Sunday night and were seated right away even though it was really full. Great vibe, gorgeous views and good music. They brought a little cup of blueberries which our 3 young hungry kids much appreciated. Wait staff was prompt and friendly and food came fairly quickly given how busy it was. All our food was delicious. Kids had crispy chicken, which was really good. Fish and chips also great. Poke bowl was on the pricier end but good, and porchetta sandwich was very large and tasty. Good beers and pretty decent prices for a fun night out. I was nervous given the iffy reviews but we loved this place. Amazing place to see the sunset. Jumping enough that kid noise not a problem, and they were welcomed with coloring menus and crayons. We'll be back. read more

A fabulous local spot for Sechelt/Davis Bay. They are rocking the chef driven casual menu. I have been there many times but today we were a group of five. The location cannot be beat. Except for the odd truck going by on the road in front, the view is unparalleled. We tend to sit inside as they have big garage doors that bring the outside in. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. Our group of 5 tried the Fish Tacos (lingcod), the Thai meatballs/lettuce wrap (shared as an appie), the Banh Mi sandwich, the Beach Buoy Fish & Chips and the Roast Prochetta Sandwich! Everyone gave their meal a big thumbs up. Check it out - you won't be disappointed!! read more

This used to be my neighbourhood fish & chip joint, but it sat empty for years, sadly. Now, the Wobbly Canoe has breathed new life into it with their new decor and diverse menu, including fish & chips named for the previous establishment. NIce touch! My friend and I found the portions generous and the tastes fresh and distinctive. The salad accompanying my Wobbly Burger was outstanding, although the tasty burger was a touch overdone for me, and took a while to finish. My friend raved about the corn chowder that came with her veggie burger. She topped off her meal with the decadent chocolate parfait, which she finished to the last drop, although we both found its presentation a little tired (served in a jar). Great, upbeat, fun vibe, but perhaps not conducive to intimate conversation. read more

Have only been once so far, late afternoon lunch. The service was great and the Poke Bowl was very good!

I would leave 1/2 a star but not an option unfortunately....food was just ok...service was poor and seating was too cramped. It could benefit from a new manager with good customer service skills. Don't waste your time.... there are better places on eat on the Coast. read more

Lunch for 4 was $71 with no alcoholic beverages. Menu is limited and we found the items we chose were rather bland. Fish tacos at Lunita's in Gibsons are far better. The place is noisy inside when the patio doors are closed. It does have a nice location on the esplanade at Davis Bay, but if the highway is busy you won't see much of the ocean anyway. The staff was pretty good. read more
