My wife and I wanted to try Stickleback when we noticed its patio on the cove. As noted by others, it overlooks the bay and has a nice view of the distant Olympic range. On a five-day trip to the Sooke area, we ended up eating at Stickleback twice. The food, though priced a little high, was excellent. Everything we... More

This restaurant is located in a cove with an outdoor patio overlooking the water. The setting is superb with the snow-capped Olympics in the distance. The food is excellent with a nice variety of fresh salads and fish. We highly recommend this place as a top dining experience.

Great location, good food. I have been here a few times with 3 other people and everyone seems happy with their meals. My Dad likes the burgers, my Mom usually goes for seafood, and I like a bit of spice. They have a new menu, we will try on Mother's Day. It's the best Sooke has right now, even though... More

Had lunch here a few days ago. Got seated right away and my husband ordered a beer. 10 minutes later the waitress finally came back without the beer. We thought we better order while we had her there. Good thing because it took quite a while to get service again. Probably not the waitresses fault, as she was the only... More

Truly amazing burgers! We went at the end of a really long day of hiking and were starving. This was the fix!

We really enjoyed the food and the friendly service. The view from our table was a great way to spend an evening out.

I have been to The Stickleback about every 6 months for a couple of years and have never had a bad meal. The spicy noodle bowl is great, my Dad loves the burgers, and my Mom usually has some seafood and we are never disappointed. Great view of the cove, and very close to the Galloping Goose trail if you... More

We were here last year and it was pretty good for casual dining experience, and it still is. We were there early, so we were the only ones there, the sun was setting and it was beautiful. Our server was a nice, friendly guy from New Zealand. He had helpful suggestions and did not rush us. We started with half... More

Service was very friendly, food was so good! Halibut & Salmon with mango blackberry chutney entrees. Both freshly caught, served with local ingredients. Prices were about $18 - $23. I would revisit.

You can enjoy great wine / food, outstanding views and finish with a kayak lesson in the bay. Where else can you get choices like that. The chowder was very good.
