“I attended a work event here and was very pleased with the experience.My meal was delicious with everything properly seasoned. It all had flavour and worked well together. I had the turkey dinner which was tender and moist and couldn’t stop stealing the kale off of other people’s plates :)Having previously worked as a server for over 10 years I was very impressed by the service. The staff made us feel welcome and comfortable, laughed with us and were incredibly quick and efficient. Nothing was missed. They also stayed late past their closing time so that our evening could continue.Highly recommend and thank you so much for such a fun evening!“

“We've been going to Maggie's for 2 years or more and no other fish and chips place comes even close to them. The owner’s are always friendly and work their butts off every day. We could all learn something from their work ethic and devotion to making this place great. I highly recommend Maggie's as not once have we been disappointed.“

“Lots going on here. The Fish and Chips are 10/10 and very reasonable price.The food - Great chips (fries), crispy, hot and fresh. Beats the usual crispy fish soggy fries combo that is so common elsewhere. Fantastic fish, crispy not greasy. Flaky fish that was hot and not overdone.Coleslaw - Typical bagged mix with dressing. A bit sweet but likely enjoyed by the majority.Tartar Sauce - Packaged food service portions. Not good. I’m an east coast tartar sauce snob but the quality of the fish minimized the tartar enough that it doesn’t matter.Service - Kind and friendly, 10/10.Atmosphere - Odd smell when entering. Kind of urineish. Not smoky and greasy smelling so can’t complain too much. Floors were very sticky. Tables clean, clutter visible behind the counter, loud music, homeless people camping at building in front and a drug deal gone down while I ate. Can’t blame the restaurant for that. Tough area.Overall the food is worth the visit if you’re not too hung up on tartar and coleslaw. The main event fish and chips are phenomenal.“

“Excellent service. Friendly from the moment you enter. The food is authentic Vietnamese and is an utter delight to the tastebuds. I usually have the grilled beef with vermicelli and vegetarian spring rolls. I have also tried the prawn salad rolls and sweet and sour prawn soup. Their Vietnamese Iced coffees are to die for. A dining experience that will not disappoint.“

“Our server Alisha was wonderful and very efficient. The "Dining out Nanaimo" menu was canceled Jan 17 without any notification. We had confirmed it would be when we called for the reservation. When we arrived, we learned that it would not be available. What a disappointment.... and frankly, false advertising. Simply, do better.“

“I wanted to try sushi but was a little nervous to eat raw seafood so the chef was very nice and cooked the salmon & tuna for me and it was delicious! I'm so glad that I stepped out of the box and tried sushi, because now I love it! Paige was our server and she was very sweet and helpful and the manager was very friendly. We will definately eat there again!“

Peking Duck Three Course

“We've been here a couple times and LOVE the atmosphere and attention to detail in the decor! Service has been great both times and the server was attentive, though it hasn't been very busy in the restaurant so can't say if that might result in a different experience. The food is mostly tasty and not heavily salty or sweet which is refreshing. Meat and veggies are well cooked and fresh, and not overdone, though there's something possibly acidic missing that could be added to give the flavour a bit of punch. Other than that we were happy with our orders of Singapore noodles and cashew chicken, plus egg rolls. We would recommend to anyone looking for simple and tasty Chinese food in Nanaimo, with great ambiance!“

“Wow!! Toronto & Vancouver transplant to VI and I must say this was an amazing place to discover. Downtown in an old Hotel is this spectacular burger speciality place. Yes I googled it first but the reviews did not mislead. Great staff serving some “Top Notch” burgers. If you like a gourmet twist where every thing has been “chef’d up” then you should check out this place. Everything we had was amazing. Thx to the team!! We will be back!!“

“Had a vegan dinner there, for a special event. My food was tasty! The fettuccine could have been better with a bit of sauce or broth. But, great flavour with really fresh ingredients! Great atmosphere and amazing view, looking over the harbour lights. Superb service!“
