We visited this waterfront restaurant with some friends who live in Campbell River, and they claimed they had better service in their prior visits. We waited over an hour for our meals to be served. I had the Salmon burger and it was tasty if somewhat messy. No one complained about their meals, so I suppose that's good. The price was above average, and while I would like to say you get what you pay for, the prices don't reflect any better taste than less costly establishments. The service was agonizingly slow, and that's unforgivable even if the views are nice.

Food was delicious and staff were friendly. Great view too.

Burak Ataman

Great food and service. Shrimp skillet is the best I had in North America. Very close to Meditereanian style. Calamari is perfect. Seafood crepes is very delicious. Great view to the marina and ocean.

Carmie Dixon

Awesome view, great food, good service but very pricey.

Sandra Forbes Photography

Great food. Nice view of marina

Dan D

Fish and chips were good

Steven Williams

The view on the patio overlooking the harbour was perfect. I had the seafood chowder and toasted focaccia bread which were both delicious. My wife had the lobster and shrimp roll with a house salad - these were both equally fantastic. The lobster roll had a bacon strip in it with abundant shrimp and lobster and arugula. It was especially delicious. Highly recommend.

Coming back from a trip to Quadra Island, my friend and I were looking for a place to grab some lunch. This restaurant was probably one of the only restaurants that was open on BC Day. I ordered the shrimp and lobster roll and it was absolutely delicious. It comes with your choice of salad or fries and I chose the salad. The roll was filling although a little difficult to eat without the shrimp dropping out of the roll and the salad was a good sized serving. Overall a delicious meal and it's nice to sit out on the patio overlooking the water. It can be quite cold though when sitting in the shade, even on a hot day.

Sitting on the patio on a sunny day is a great start to the meal. I was disappointed server did not tell us daily specials - heard another table being told them after we ordered. I felt the menu was good with lots of different options. Mac & cheese seems to be the side item on a number of items. I had seafood crepes. Tasted good, but I wish the seafood had been chunky instead of mush. I will not order it again. But we will return and try other items.

Nadine Loucks

Very tasty and we sat outside. So nice.

Jen Bussey

Food was good. Service was good. Restaurant was really loud.

Sara

Good service, lovely views and food (never have I gotten a salad AND fries with my chicken strips ????). Beer is a bit pricey, but oh well the view made up for it.

KD Pirahna

Nice view. Friendly staff. I was hoping for a salmon burger but they took it off the menu. No wow factor. The food was run of the mill, good quality, but nothing special.

Stopped in here for a late lunch to get out of the rain while walking the waterfront. Super-friendly staff and awesome location to sit on the patio to watch the harbour activity. Had the calamari, which was really good and definitely NOT greasy or boring. Also had the seafood chowder with chipotle, which was excellent. Would definitely recommend this great spot.

Chiharu Hine

Great Ocean view and nice staff! We enjoyed my son's birthday feast there.☺????

lada Balla

Good food. But the server had to come back to us to change our order because of the alergies that we had were missed a few times. Cook staff caught it most of the time. Then she missed it on the main dish of my wife. She charged us for it. Sadly. Might not go back again.

MALENA BURNETT

An incredible lunch....

Claude Boldut

Good food great view reasonable prices.

Danika McDowell

Gorgeous view. I recommend the steak salad.

Eliza Haugrud

Wonderful views with a wide variety of entries. Definitely worth the effort.

Peggy Henwood

Great food and great service.

Ian Villabroza

Friendly service and nice atmosphere. Fish and chips, calamari, and lobster/shrimp roll were our favorites.

Lacey Nutt

Amazing food. Friendly staff.great wine. You get the real Campbell River experience when you are there in the summer and a cruise ship goes by while you are having dinner or dessert. :)

Steve Sakamoto

Delicious food and excellent service. Or family of four popped in for dinner on a spur-of-the-moment decision. It was a great decision. We all loved our meals, and had no complaints at all. The patio wasn't super crowded, and food came pretty quickly too. We decided everything and sent sparkling clean plates back to the kitchen in no time at all. Try the crab and shrimp roll (on a pretzel bun) - it is exceptional!!

Jessica Castle

Better than expected! Home made beef burgers, delicious seafood & portobello burger too! Beautiful, deck, location & knowledgeable staff.

Hertz Vaughan

Great meal and a perfect location on the dock watching the evening Harbour. Gloria was an amazing server and should consider a career in flying. We enjoyed the Pacific grilled salmon, tuna ahi salad, and fresh halibut crepes. A round of nice drinks and dessert. The bread pudding was amazing. Recommend for your post boating, fishing, hiking evening meals.

Michael Zosiak

Waterfront view and great service. The tuna rocket salad was bland and had no taste, we had to ask for more dressing to add some flavour. The seafood chowder was the same, not much flavour so used pepper from the smallest pepper shaker I have ever seen. Fish tacos were good. Took off one star for the salad and one for the chowder. We were there Saturday about 2:00 PM and only two other tables had people.

The food here is delicious. The calamari is the best I've eaten and I've eaten a lot of it. My 3 year old girl just shoveled it in her. Four in our party and everyone thought the food was good. Desserts are to die for. I'd go back to this place in a heartbeat. I highly recommend

Anika Cote

I had the tuna poke nachos as a starter. One word. AMAZING...lobster and shrimp roll as a main dish. It was really good with a garlic butter bun. Lavender gin drink is a must. Loved this place and will be back when i am in Campbell river.

Eddie Williams

Love it here, great atmosphere and great new patio renos.

Tyler Gao

Karley Webb

Great service and location. Menu could use some updating, but overall good food.

Sarah Voigt

Ordered takeout from Quay West and it was delicious. One of the best pulled pork sandwiches I’ve ever had! Did not disappoint!

Bill Thompson

Very friendly staff. Excellent chowder

Sean

Great view! Chowder had a little kick, which most place’s nowadays are afraid of. Service was good. Worth a visit.

Heather Hulett

Fried oysters will bring me back. Delish!

Ian Wallace

Sat on the outside patio in front of fishing boats . They allowed my dog to stay besideme in shade and brought water out for her . Loved the 2 piece fish and chips

Shelly Heinen

Great place for Delicious food,adult beverage and watch the boats, my favorite place to go for lunch/dinner in Campbell River

Frank Flock

Service was topnotch as well as the food. Overall was a very pleasant dining experience

Travis Mason

Nice spot by the water with good parking. Walking distance to other shore stuff like the public dock. Food was decent with sizes being large and fresh. Thanks for being open during the Ronna and being safe with us tourists around.

Connie Shao

Nice view. Food was good. Nice place to have dinner with friends.

Alex Wik

Was super excited to eat here for my birthday dinner while staying at the resort up the street (amaaaaazzzing by the way def recommend Dolphin Resort) too bad the service was so horrible. We arrived right before 545pm and were seated in the dog friendly area (only reason I give it 2 stars is because of them being dog friendly otherwise would be 1 star). We watched and waited while other people were seated and given menus, water etc. 20min or so min go by and finally a host comes by and says "oh you don't have menus" then goes back inside. By the time she came back with menus I was so frustrated we said thank you and left. Too bad as the weather was warm and we would have definitely enjoyed a couple cold bottles of white. No matter how good the food is at a place all it takes is bad service to kill the experience. Very disappointed.

Steve Gudgin

Great meal and service! Patio was a little windy but tolerable, had to be careful or things could blow away !

mavrick white

First time here food was delicious, clam chowder was amazing.

Connor Galozo

Yummy. That warm seafood Cesar salad was very yummy. Best food of the trip so far! The service was exceptional which really added to the whole experience. Quay west more like quay best!

Molly Francis

6 in front staff, 3 in back ,two tables in service 6 potential customers crammed into waiting area in front and not one staff member communicating with any of us except when we mentioned that we weren’t sure what was happening as we watch some of the staff mulling around we were told “ oh I know…. Hahaha”. We left. And went to Moxies where we had a great meal and amazing service

Juno

great view, and patio beside ocean. main food I had was tasty, soup was just warm temp and it was just ok.

Filip Mal

Great restaurant. Visited it twice, both time with same friend. First time I have ordered sandwitch with steak and my friend fish&chips. Both meals were filling, with good price and extremally tasty. So tasty, that my friend described fish&chips as best he has ever eaten, and that was reason for coming there back again. Second time I have ordered deep fry chicken wings in sweet-chilli sauce and I received more than I could eat. Staff was also really friendly and efficent on both of the visits. I will recommend this place to any friend who will be visiting Campbell.

Leo Emonts

Excellent staff and the food is delicious.

Fedelis Shim

The grill Humboldt squid with the salad is a must try. Excellent service and good food.

Cherisse McMain

Food was delicious, view was amazing.

D S

One of the best seafood places in town! And the calamari... best I've EVER had!

Alison Cherry

The calamari appetizer was good. Good flavor and texture, a little greasier than I was expecting but still very good. I would order this again. Prawn and lobster mac and cheese was a large serving. Needed more chunks of lobster. A side of garlic bread or something to dip would have been good. The dish was a little dry. It was good, might order this again. The fish and chips, the chips were just regular fries, not bad, but nothing special. Two good size pieces of fish, one was good, the other had too much batter. I would not order this again. A little on the too greasy side for me. Very nice place to sit by the water. I will return and try something different on the menu. The patio was closed, looks like it would be a nice place to be on a sunny day, I was there at night.

Chris J (christoffthegreat)

The place is clean and tidy, and the views are wonderful. Their menu, while limited, has quite the variety. We usually stop in here once a month for lunch and have not been disappointed yet.

Scott Robson

Wonderful food, some of the best crab and shrimp cakes I've had and I've had them all over the world. The burgers are easier to eat with a fork and knife but being hand made, they were excellent, just tall. The seafood chowder was loaded and not just a broth with little bits in it, as is all too often the case. The drink they made for my wife, a snowflake I think? Was very good, tasted like a strawberry shake. Her turkey dip sandwich was unusual but very good as well. The service was spot on and attentive. Be aware the parking is a little tight if you're driving a larger vehicle.

Wanda G

Great view from the outside tables of the Strait of Georgia. Meal here was pretty good. We shared a bowl of the Chipotle chowder. It was really good and the portion size was great. My husband had the Qyay West burger and fries. He said it was really good. I had the coconut curry and rice. It was good. Lots of rice in the dish. I couldn't even finish the whole thing. Flavour could have been a little stronger as it was really quite mild. I ordered a caesar from the drink menu. They said sorry they ran out of worcestershire sauce and couldn't make me a caesar. What?? This is a true iconic Canadian drink. How can you not have worcestershire on hand. I noticed another couple got caesars after I tried to order one???? I asked to substitute the white rice in the coconut curry dish for quinoa. I noticed they had quinoa on the menu for another item. They said no they couldn't substitute it. What?? That's why I am giving it 3 stars out of 5. Service was ok. A little slow but I think we had a new server who was trying to get her bearings.

Ed Braun

Good food, huge servings, best fish tacos, friendly service, good views, good value for the money.

Imad Jebara

Good atmosphere, family friendly, great view and good food.

Gary George

Most horrible service! Ignored for at least over five minutes. Host took phone reservation in front of me knowing I was waiting for some time. Continued to be condescending and rude when taking down name. Avoid at all cost.

Seb Travel

Delicious seafood chowder. The calamari are to die for! Super friendly staff!

Andrea Humphreys

Great location! I love the extra grassy seating area! Their tuna poke appy was extraordinary, so delicious! Service was superb!

Sherry Spence

Ordered steak sandwich, sooo salty it was not edible. Ceasar salad soggy in wet sauce. Two bites of each, the rest was left on plate. No discount of any kind. If I could give no stars I would. Won't be returning to this place. Server was very inexperienced.

Doreen Riedijk

Delicious food. Excellent service. A bit pricey, but that's the price you pay for a good meal.

Josh Auerbach

Really delicious food and a very nice balcony.

Ana Geraldina Parent

The lobster prawn roll is absolutely delicious! Everything we have ordered has been superb !
