“Work trip Lunch in Nanaimo, another awesome restaurant in an old house. There are a few in Nanaimo, definitely worth checking out

Got the last available table when I got there at noon, definitely recommend making reservations ahead of time

Food was awesome, the chicken wrap was amazing, tomato soup was great as well. My colleague had the clam chowder, it has more clams than soup, I recommend trying a few different items on the menu. All very tasty

Service was good, friendly staff.

Decor is very good, we really enjoyed the decor.“

“Service was great, food is always good - SO LOUD it is always so difficult to hear and we had to shout at the table. The music is loud which makes people talk louder and it is just not pleasant. I love the renovations that were done, looks great. Not sure what you can do about the noise level, it is a deterrent for me to go in.“

“We hosted a birthday party at Palace Hotel, and I can't recommend it enough! Jeet was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process, ensuring everything went smoothly. From the planning stages to the party itself, he was attentive and made us feel so welcome. The venue was perfect for our celebration, and the service was top-notch.
