Reviewed 25 September 2023

The best thing about dinner was our waitress. Initially a VERY loud group over took the quiet ambience because their rented room was not ready. Next my fries came out barely warm. Next the pork belly bowl came with cold rice. Next a specific request...for more tartar sauce was completely forgotten. Next two orders were brought out wrong. Then the correct chicken bowls finally arrived when the other 4 people had finished eating. The chicken was unflavored and dry. The rice on one meal was SO overcooked it could not be cut at all. Both these meals were returned as uneatable. This dinner was meant to be a celebration for our 45th anniversary. We have never been so disappointed in an overall meal experience ever. The only reason the review got 2 stars is because the waitress did all she could to salvage the situation for us. New menu (not the same as on website) with a new chef. So very disappointing. Will take serious consideration before we ever eat here again.More

Although the menu is somewhat limited, the food was very good. I had a steak done to perfection and my partner, the Thai Curry Bowl. Our server was friendly, quick and attentive. The kitchen was a tad slow but if one was enjoying the excellent...view and good conversation, it would not have made a difference. As the restaurant is one the back of the Inn, it was a bit convoluted to find it. As I understand, the owner is fairly new and is working on doing the best for the restaurant. This could be the premier place to go in the city for location and view, so we encourage them to keep going in their direction.More

Service slow. Waiter no idea of gluten free options even after going to ask in kitchen. Caesar salad and chowder ok. Mixed salad ok. Could not provide oil and vinegar relying on prepared tubs of dressing. Pepper pot despite being full did nit flow. View...of water nice. Overall not a great experience.More

Last night we had the best restaurant turkey dinner I've ever tasted. Everything was homemade, including the cranberry sauce, and it was REAL turkey. Generous portions, tasty pumpkin soup to start, and delicious crème brûlé flavoured with cardamom for dessert. And...the best ocean view from...a restaurant in Campbell River! We will definitely eat here again.More

We stayed here on a British Columbia sightseeing trip. The room although dated was okay, view very good. However we did not get much sleep. Slamming doors started at 630 am and continued constantly until after midnight. I think a lot of workers stay here...and the entrance to the hotel has a very loud door. I object paying $25 a night extra for the dog room when he doesn’t make a sound. He was actually the only one that got a good nights sleep. I would have slept better in our truck.More

We walked over for dinner seeing they had a patio with a water view. We should have left, they were out of everything, poorly made drinks, slow service and terrible food.

Went to Blue Oyster patio for happy hour. Ordered 2 draft beer, were told amber ale was not available. When waitress brought the order, it was the lager that was unavailable and I was served an IPA. My husband ordered a Molson Canadian bottle and...they were out of that too! There had been a wedding 5 days previously. The day before the August long weekend and they were out of basic beer????? This is the most scenic restaurant in Campbell River. The patio is lovely and the potential is enormous. Will not be back.More

Only 4 tables on patio when we got there but took 15 minutes to take drink order, 10 more to get it another 20 to take order. Food took 45 minutes. My meal was cold…steak….awful and tough. Potatoes no sour cream, asked twice for it...never got it . Husbands pasta was amazing though….never got my meal back they said they would fix right away. No offer for refill on drinks unless alcoholic…..left hungry, cold and unsatisfied. Paid 50.00 for a pasta and a 2 beers. Skip it. If go…bring sweater for patio as sun goes down is cold. View is great though. I hate leaving bad reviews but it ruined my whole night and don’t want anybody to lose a vacation nightMore
