    We came up from Seattle. We loved the food! The steelhead was so buttery and delicious. My husband loved the yellow fin tuna. Fried chicken and octopus were tasty though a little too hot (spicy) for us. Emily, Anya and Kyle were stellar. We won’t forget our visit and we hope to come again. Also, I loved the breakfast sandwiches from the expresso bar. Tofino is georgeo

    My friend and spent the weekend at a nearby hotel, but I we were so impressed with the atmosphere, staff and food -next time we will be staying at the hotel there. Kyle was an incredibly fun and down to earth server who clearly loved his job. The cocktails and burger were absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is so chill and a welcoming environment for any age group. The blonde server with tattoos on her arm even smiled and waved at me the next day despite not even serving us...acknowledging she remembered us :) I made the mistake of leaving my credit card downstairs in the bar that didn't open till 9 that night which was super inconvenient, although my fault. Bella in the liquor store attached, even locked up shop mid day to check for me. The bar manager Jeremy was so quick and happily helped me and got it for me mid shift and made it seem so easy. I haven't had such good authentic service in a long time and had to take the time to write this. Thank you Kyle , Jeremy, Bella and sweet blonde Waitresse for everything. We will be back!!!!!!

    A wonderful place to dine in Tofino! The food was amazing and drinks were delicious. Our server Amelia had fantastic recommendations and was super knowledgeable, friendly and her service on point! Some cushions on the chairs inside would bring a little more comfort to inside dining, but otherwise, a beautiful experience and well worth the money. I had the Halibut and licked the plate clean. The oysters and muscles were also so fresh and delicious! Thanks again!
