“We visit Alpina restaurant fairly regularly and have always had a great meal and always exceptional service. Yesterday day however on our way back from a stressful day dealing with a family situation involving an ambulance, hospital and an assisted living facility we stopped in for a meal. Our server , I believe her name was Kayla , could tell we were a bit out of sorts and promptly took our orders for food and drink. Food was of course spot on and as we were dinning and Kayla checked in and chatted with us throughout our stay, she learned of the day we had. When we were done and I asked for the check Kayla gracefully said that the restaurant had looked after our bill. Both my wife and daughter started to cry , as they were emotional already but the act of kindness that was shown towards us was so welcome that they were overcome with both happiness and sadness. We have been in the restaurant business for almost 40 years and I can only hope that our employees would act the same as Kayla and the management of Alpina. Thank you. You made a miserable day bearable. 🥲🥰
Scott, Kimberly and Ally.“

“Great pizzas, ordered 4 and they were as ordered. Think the young, very friendly staff member, Titan maybe, was very helpful as he carried the four pizzas to my car as I walk with a cane. The leftover pizzas tasted great warmed up the next day. I would definitely recommend. I also had insulated Panago pizza carriers which the staff had never seen, recommend they sell these again.“
“We went with our family of seventeen for a birthday celebration. The service , food atmosphere, and beautiful location all superb. Highly recommend. Thankyou ! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“I can’t comment on the food as I haven’t eaten here, but I’ve stopped by multiple times just for a pint. This review is based on that experience only.
I really want to give this place 5 stars—the atmosphere is nice and it’s always been a decent spot for a drink. However, I’m removing 1 stars for one big reason: the way they handle liquor tax.
Most establishments in B.C. include the liquor tax in the listed price of a pint. Here, it’s not included—you’ll see one price on the menu, but when the bill comes you’re hit with three different taxes: the standard two plus the B.C. liquor tax, which is passed directly to the customer. Considering the pints are already on the pricey side, I find this practice frustrating and misleading.
For example: two Fat Tug IPAs (Driftwood) came to $19.50 before tip. That’s steep, and not the kind of experience that makes me want to come back as often.
Hopefully they reconsider how they structure their pricing, because this could easily be a 5-star spot otherwise.“

“Love all,of the food, amazing miso (not true of every restaurant), fresh sushi, tasty bento boxes, I can honestly say I’ve not been unhappy with anything they’ve prepared for me. But, if I was to tell you my favourite things the first would be the “Monkey Brains” we recently tried. We’ve had this dish in other restaurants and really thought we’d found the best version elsewhere...but we were wrong! Sushi House Monkey Brains are THE best! The spicy chopped scallop roll is a must, and if you like Pho, their soups are delectable. I recently ordered take out Pho and was so impressed when I realized that the broth was very obviously homemade and it was without a doubt the best Pho I’ve ever had. Thank you Sushi House, you’re our go to place!“

“Best sushi and tempura! It’s all excellent but that’s what I like to eat the most. Bento box is hands down the best bang for your buck. They make slushy drinks!!! Fun desserts. Check it out!“

“We had the best Pizzas Penne Panini and Calzone and a humongous Tiramisu for dessert! It was so good that we are taking friends there next weekend as well. Thank you Riley for attending to all our needs - cheerful, professional and courteous. This could be the best pizza in the Cowichan Valley!“
