Blue Oyster Cafe & Lounge

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.

Just popped in on a beautiful night. Deck was empty. Views were beauty. Service was great. Food was good and beers were cold. Awesome

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.

Great at anytime.Food good, lovely server and awesome scenery. Patio is beautifully decorated and very comfortable.

We walked up from the Passage View Motel for evening drinks one evening. Attentive staff with most drink choices. Enjoy.

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.

The fish and chips are amazing! Huge filets of cod. Also has an amazing view.

Nice ocean view!

Great Thanksgiving dinner turkey nice and tender. Pumpkin soup great and served hot.Dinner rolls also served warm. Wine prices reasonable. Amazing view of the ocean and Quadra Island. No whales today but lots of birds.

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.

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.

My friend stays here

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.

The view was spectacular but the food is bland. We order the seafood linguini coz of what I read about the review was great. Maybe the people that ate it doesn't have a taste buds lol. It was so bland that I kept adding salt and pepper to taste it a bit better. The clam chowder on the other hand taste great. But the pasta not so good. Lots of seafood tho that's a plus.

Excellent food. Good portions, great view,smiling servive
