“the absolute best ! always fresh and always tasty !! our favorite go to.!“

“My "go to" restaurant. Last night had the Valentine's day special. Portions were generous and delicious. No room for dessert, so had to take the strawberry cheesecake home for later.“

“Had an amazing birthday dinner this past weekend. Awesome service and amazing food, very well presented! Will be back very soon!“

“This by far is the best restaurant in Nanaimo. The lobster and crab ravioli was absolutely amazing - and the service is top notch. Special thanks to Vishal who made us feel so welcome!“

“excellent food. I've been a couple of times and will definitely be back.“

“Highly recommend. Our meal was delicious. Cod and chips. Fresh fish, good batter and perfect tartar sauce. Great service!“

“I have always enjoyed an annual trip to Trollers. Unfortunately, this year I was quite disappointed. My fish was very dry and chewy. It was not a good meal for the price. I hope they do better next time.“

“Penny’s Palapa accommodated our big group on the May long weekend. Not only was our server friendly and efficient, the portions were big and the food came out quick. The rain was a bummer but with heaters and the Mexican atmosphere we barely noticed. Thank you!“

“My husband and I dropped in for lunch this afternoon and had the most friendly , down to earth waitress serving up some delicious eats. Hubs ordered the badass burger and was super stoked with his meal! Can’t beat the made in house burgers with all the fixings! I ordered the geyser sushi roll and was filled up without feeling grossly full. Worth the stop when in Nanaimo!“

“Good food and drinks friendly people great workers“

“The service was excellent, and the outdoor seating was really nice. However, the food was a bit disappointing compared to the service and atmosphere. The sangria and limoncello were just mediocre. While the halibut with fruit salsa exceeded my expectations, the salmon was underwhelming—it didn’t taste fresh and lacked flavor. The turmeric-infused rice also felt a bit dry. Looking around at other tables, the Cobb salad or fish and chips might have been a better choice.“

“I finally did something other than a burger 😂😂Yummmmm just had the cheesiest thick French onion soup with a side of Moroccan quinoa it was a flavour explosion in mouth! My son had panko crusted Brie & a Cesar salad not one bite left! The server was attentive friendly & all around another wonderful experience at my favorite burger joint!“
