“**Restaurant Review: Full Moon Rising** Full Moon Rising in Pacific Shores is an absolute gem that my husband and I frequent often, and it never disappoints. Owned by the lovely Louise, the restaurant is renowned for its incredible consistency in food quality. The beef dip stands out with its flavorful, rich jus that's full-bodied and delicious. My husband raves about the calamari, claiming it's the best he's ever had—crispy and melt-in-your-mouth, perfectly complemented by fabulous pico de gallo. The portions are generous, and the atmosphere is enhanced by spectacular views and live music on weekends, making it perfect for date nights. The service is fantastic, with knowledgeable staff and Louise always present, ensuring everything runs smoothly while radiating her warm energy. Her son, an amazing Red Seal chef who helped design the menu, adds to the culinary excellence. For reliable, satisfying dining with consistently outstanding food, drinks, and service, Full Moon Rising is my top recommendation. Don't miss out—visit before the summer rush! Enjoy!”

“Food is usually great. but i remember an incident a few years back, the cashier wouldn’t honour what the coupon said “oh it was a misprint”. Even if it’s a misprint you’re supposed to honor it. It was something either free coffee for every order or ever customer, we had multiple customers in the car.”

“We had Craig Street Pizza tonight for first time—we live out of town—& it was the best pizza I’ve ever had. I’m still drooling over it & highly recommend!!”

“We went with a group of friends last night for our first visit. Dinner and service were excellent, all in a lovely atmosphere! We all ordered Greek appys and mains and they came out fresh and piping hot. Servings were generous; we will definitely be back!”

“Exceptional service, pleasant, fast service, very clean restaurant.”

“Amazing products and service! Bought 2 pieces of cheesecake here - the lemon curd (recommended) and plain - and both are decadent!! Best cheesecake I have ever purchased from a store. And, the oatmeal raisin cookies taste like the ones one makes at home - and they were not overly sweet . Perfect. The service was friendly, helpful and kind. Will go back - when in the area - and look forward to the cinnamon buns next - they were already sold out for the day and we were there before noon!”

We started with crab cakes they were so good! Then I had the seafood pasta the amount of scallops prawns was awesome they definitely weren't skimpy on the seafood and the presentation was great!

“Always the best poke bowl I’ve ever had. Every time I visit the island I make sure to have at least one poke bowl here. The ingredients are fresh and portion is amazing. Must try!

They recently added 3 new protein options (chicken, beef and something) but note that this protein option equals to two typical protein options.”

“Our favorite Indian food restaurant. Their curry is delicious! Friendly staff and quick service. Thank you!”

“I've been a customer here for my whole adult life. This place feels like coming home to me. The staff is always warm and welcoming, they always remember my order and what I like to drink. Yes the place has gone through its changes, and we all adjust. Still a great place! (honestly I'm happy about no more karaoke, Just trying to enjoy my drink while my eardrums getting busted out by people who think they can sing...go to the Legion guys)The bartenders are always watchful, and swiftly and quietly usher out the riff raff. The waitresses are pleasant every time, always a welcoming smile, and are quick to come with food and drinks. They are very attentive to their tables, I never have a complaint. The food is always amazing, kudos to those cooks in that hot kitchen. While it used to be quite the bumping place on the weekends, covid has really quieted it down. I recommend the Rod & Gun. It's a pub, and if you prefer pubs over taphouses like I do, you'll really enjoy this place. See you guys soon!”

“The atmosphere is lovely, service is superb, food is excellent. Highly recommend for Mexican inspired dishes. Lots of vegetarian options.”

“We have been living in Campbell River for over a year now and have not found a good pizza. Poppa's was recommended by a friend in Parksville. We were here for a week and tried it. OMG!!! It is the best pizza we have ever had anywhere! The flavors, amounts of toppings and the tons of cheese. One slice is a meal but we had 2 each. Yes it was that great! We purchased one to take back home to freeze. Every trip to Parksville will be a Poppa's Pizza!🥰”

“If you get a chance to have the high tea, you won’t be disappointed!”

“Stopped by for the 1st time and were greeted by very friendly staff. Seated quickly and our server was great right from the start. She had lemon water on our table, gave us just the right amount of time to come up with our order and had everything out fresh and hot. Food was delicious, and she had extra tartar sauce delivered within seconds. I would definitely recommend popping in the and giving the fish and chips a try, also had the clam chowder which was excellent as well.”
