I ordered an appy and had a pink of draft while waiting for a friend. The appy turned out to be black bean paste rolled in a white tortilla. Boring. It was however a good place for a quiet conversation.

We decided to go to Fluid on the spur of the moment. We had been there once before a few years ago, before we had moved to the Island, and remember the food being very good. I had the salad with seared sesame crusted ahi tuna, which was delicious. My hubby had the pulled pork burger and he really enjoyed... More

It seems the reviews are too one sided,people either hate it,or think it's utopia. I wager the latter work there or have a stake in how well Fluid does. I went there for the first time after hearing for a few years about the food being spectacular although a little pricey. I figured I'd try a guiness with a poutine... More

I am unsure of this place nothing special, nothing fancy no personal touches were offered - food ordered, given and paid - no mobile card machine slightly annoying in these days of technology - would not rush to go there again

The menue had lots of different choices, and all of the food had generous portions. We had five for lunch. Good place to gather with our family, and have a visit, not to loud inside. The service was good also.

The prawn appetizer is excellent, although the first time I had it was the best. The service is good and the spinach salad I thought was excellent, nuts and healthy stuff, big could not eat all of it but took it home and ate it later.

Went with my daughter for lunch and we were pleasantly surprised by the large portions and tasty food. She had the poutine (teenager!) with a generous portion of pulled bbq pork on top. The portion was huge (we had quite a bit to take home with us) and the pork was very tender, lean and flavourful. I had the spinach... More

My husband and I went to Fluid for dinner on Dec 23, when visiting in Courteney - we had just finished a great day at Mt Washington Ski Hill and were looking for a good dinner. The food was terrible. The place was not busy but both of our plates arrived with cold food. My was beginning to dry on... More
