Menu is small which makes the choice easier but if you can?t have dairy or don?t like certain things u will have a harder time.... We tried the bruschetta, aranchini, autumn salad and chicken cordon brie. I wasn?t too happy with the salad but it?s probpersonal tastes - salad had too much vinegary dressing, beets were pickled, goat cheese ball was very strong (candied walnutswere great!) and we didn?t realize the bruschetta would have balsamic on it which I liked but hubs didn?t.

Fantastic local restaurant in Port Alberni. The staff were extremely welcoming, friendly, and professional. The drinks menu was... filled with as many local options as they could fit. For dinner I had the Braised Short Rib+Gnocchi and my partner had theChicken Cordon Brie. Both dishes were phenomenal. Everything was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The potion sizes werenormal, not too much, not too little. Thank you greatly for the experience, we most definitely will be dining here again Read more
The price is well worth it for the delicious food. The friendly service and cute atmosphere were just additional perks to a... scrumptious meal. Read more
Best meal we?ve had in a long time. Had the Arancini Risotto balls (I could?ve eaten 12 of these) and Mushroom Calamari... appetizers. Mains were Braised Short Rib & Gnocchi (cooked to perfection) and the Chicken Cordon Brie & Linguine . Both had agreat mix of quality veggies Onion, Beets, Mixed Carrots and Broccolini. Which is great because I?m so tired of getting GreenBeans as my seasonal veg while eating out. Also kudos to the staff who found us a spot inside after it started rainingsubstantially while we were enjoying the garden seating. Finished off with a New York style Cheesecake w/ strawberry compote dessert 10/10 will come back again. Read more
We visited this nice restaurant during our short stay in Port Alberni. I had a refreshing and excellent local IPA, and we also... ordered olives with lemon and garlic as a starter. For the main course, we had a Moroccan BBQ brisket with homemade tagliatelleand vegetables and lemon pepper prawn linguine. All dishes were excellently cooked- the brisket was juicy and spicy. Thehomemade tagliatelle with seasonal vegetables were a fabulous supplement! The lemon pepper and prawn linguine were fantastic. Iloved the combination of dried tomatoes, spinach, capers and artichokes with a touch of lemon. The prawns were spot on. As adessert, we had vanilla ice cream with raspberry sauce and cranberries. We were more than happy with the quality of the foodand, not least, with the quality of the service. Read more
