“We were a group of three for lunch yesterday. I had been going to Greek restaurants in Vancouver for 40 years before I moved back to Ucluelet. The wonderful experience surpassed all of the past ones with the best authentic lamb souvlaki and tzatziki, exceptional service and welcoming atmosphere I have ever experienced. Huge kudos to a truly destination restaurant.”

“came to this bistro for the first time on March 22, 2025 for a surprise 70th birthday for a family member. Found the setting comfortable, the staff knowledgeable, friendly and the service top notch. Ordered the platter for two and it was so good, the calamari was the best!! Our table numbered 15 people and all food arrived hot and all family was eating at the same time. This bistro is amazing!! As we travel to Gabriola Island fairly often, we will be stopping here for dinner again!!”

“I have now been to the Milton Street Pub twice in the past 1.5 weeks. On both occasions I had some of my best ever food experiences. I had 2 different kinds of wings…Monster portions and quality ingredients. I also had the tomato soup ( homemade marvellous) and polenta fries. My partner had the burger which I tasted and fries which are absolutely the best. My Mother in law had the flatbread pizza…Yummy and my nephew had the Mushroom pasta…HOMEmade!!! We had the cheesecake ….WOW. The service on both occasions was amazing. Even gave me a Tylenol when I was in pain. Melanie was our first server…but everyone including the kitchen staff is determined to provide the best cuisine experience. The only issue was the first time atmosphere was a bit noisy and I have chronic pain issues so the chairs are a bit short for my long legs… Otherwise Perfection!!!”
