“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.“

There was a small hiccup with the takeout order due to a miscommunication with the kitchen and pub making us wait a while, but the food was worth the wait. Definitely will be back.“

The waitress, whose name I can't remember, that helped us on the patio was fabulous. Very friendly and excited for our celebration. When the bill came they paid for the first round of drinks to celebrate with us.
