  79.99$ seafood platter on new years eve day. Never again. What was to be A treat to bring in the new year left our palettes with high sodium seafood low flavor after taste. Veggies overcooked and slopped onto platter like they came from a hot water bath. No flavor. The sauce on all of the fish was on croquettes... Not creative. Not tasty. Prawns were bland. If you dont like shrimp sauce there was no flavor just steamed prawns and not wonderful quality. Salmon was dryish. Halibut bland. Calamari was great. Tzatziki overpowered. Oysters were fine but boring. Breaded like croquettes. Yawn. The best part of the meal was the servers sense of humor and the baked potato and calamari. The platter was visually embarrassing. Wilted warm lettuce leaves on an aluminum tray trying to give color to the warmish cold foods that sat upon them. Overcooked bland carrot bits for garnish and for the main veggie with bits of overcooked broccoli buds. Not even broccoli florets. This place is rated best seafood. I beg to differ. A dash of bland with sodium.

  Friendly staff, lots of options on the menu and all the paintings & decorations have so much character!! Love this place, I always stop by on my annual trip to Tofino. Highly suggest the popcorn shrimp ;)

  A quaint little place almost on the waterfront. Indoor and outdoor seating. Excellent food and not all seafood. Great burgers and fries to be had there as well. Free wifi on premises too!

  Great food. My partner and I ordered the small clam chowder and Oyster Burger with fries. Well executed. Each table had some Trivia questions to play with while waiting for the food which was pretty fun.
