“First time there tonight July 1-2023to celebrate birthdays. Alley the owner was so gracious and had the best personality!! The food was absolutely delicious! 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! Then the dessert we had a free birthday dessert which was the sticky date pudding with vanilla ice cream! The service was good, friendly, fast and the establishment was clean! Highly recommend this place ❤️”

“My husband and I order food from here all the time. The service is always quick and friendly and the food is delicious especially the Combo and Chicken with Vermicelli. Thank you!”
“Great beer, possibly even greater kitchen and - wait for it - the energetic, authentic staff are the real attraction. This place is what other brewpubs want to be when they grow up. 5/5.”

“Always consistently great! The lovely server is always smiling and it's very personable. The food portions are great and the prizes are reasonable. Actually it's the most reasonable Vietnamese restaurant in Central Vancouver Island. No fuss no muss kind of restaurant and everything on their menu is excellent!”

“Keep an eye on your food as it's being prepped. We agree with the tasty reviews, but have questions about food safety. We witnessed one of the staff dropping a tartar sauce on the floor and another staff told her, "Don't worry; no one saw it."”

“May 12, 2025
I'll be visiting my sister who lives in Nanoose Bay next month, June 15-26. I'll be stopping in for my beans to return home, Cornwall Ontario, with. Read up on new roasts before my visit to buy along with many of my favorites. See You Soon :)
Jan 2021. Had new coffee sent to me prior to Christmas by my sister. One of the pkgs was the new Ethiopian Tomme. This new blend was so good yesterday I ordered 3 more pkgs. Maui Dark Roast is another excellent blend. When pandemic is over I am sure to be flying out to Nanoose Bay to visit my sister and stock up on more coffee. Thank goodness I can order online.
Every time I am on Vancouver Island visiting with my sister (I live in Ontario) I stop and load up on Coyote Coffee beans. Recently picked up; Mexican Red Honey Fair Trade Organic Coffee. WOW WOW WOW and excellent full bodied coffee. No bitter after taste. Chocolate notes. Will it become part of your product line? Do you still have some for sale? It made my day :)”

“I loved my spicy seafood udon. The broth was delicious, perfect spice and the noodles were delicate yet firm among the other ingredients. Welcoming atmosphere and friendly service. Wish we lived closer to eat here more often.”

“Excellently prepared and beautifully presented! At first glance my friend and I weren't sure if it was more diner or elegant establishment, but the food and presentation were definitely the latter. The menu is mostly seafood - a couple of salads and chicken dishes are what's on offer otherwise. But for fish-lovers, they have 6 different seafood choices for fish and chips, plus a wide selection ranging from chowders and fish burgers to dinner features like maple glazed salmon and almond crusted lingcod. My friend ordered the grilled shrimp and chose mashed potatoes and asparagus tempura for the sides. The shrimp on the 2 skewers were large, plump and juicy, drizzled with garlic butter, and the asparagus was delightful in a crisp tempura crust. I had baked red snapper topped with spinach, crab and 3-cheese gratin, accompanied by an inspired butternut squash/potato mash and asparagus tempura (yum). The crab meat gave a complimentary richness to the snapper, and the cheese flavours accented nicely. The sweet chili sauce drizzled decoratively over top was a final, perfect touch for both taste and eye. For dessert we shared a sticky toffee pudding which, again, was beautifully presented and a nice finish to an excellent dinner. The server was friendly and attentive, and seemed to know several of the other guests, which suggests that there are repeat customers. We hope to soon be among them - we're going back for dinner tomorrow!
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are limited to 2 salads, though you could probably add on a couple of the main dish side options, which are very good.
Dietary restrictions: The chowder is thickened with GF flour and some of the dishes offer GF options, so this is something the chef keeps in mind. Several other dishes could very well be GF, but you'd have to ask.
Wheelchair accessibility: No entry stairs, all one level. There is enough space between tables to move around in a chair or walker and easy to fit a chair at the tables.”

“Christmas Eve 2024 Papa Saved the day. I called from Ottawa, I had a last minute idea, due to the mail strike my birthday and Christmas cards would not make it in time. My mom loves donuts and tomorrow is also her birthday. I ordered a box of donuts for her and Papa, himself, and Papa saved the day by delivering it to her door for me as a surprise treat to celebrate her birthday and Christmas. THANK YOU Papa for the over and above kindness.”

“During our visit to the Island, we ordered their Butter chicken pizza, chicken and pineapple pizza and funnel cake for dessert. It was one of the delicious meal I had from a Pizza restaurant. My order was ready on time but you can tell there is a difference from your traditional fast food pizza in comparison when eating here… the dough tasted fresh and full of flavour in comparison to other pizza joints we’ve had from the US. Glad to see that and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the island or even native. Keep up the good work!”

“I heard about this restaurant during my travels and made it, “my must eat at restaurant”. The food was so amazing, I took the menu for ideas. Thank you for offering an outstanding healthy and delicious venue for us humans that have dietary restrictions and a healthy lifestyle. Everything on the menu is delicious. Must try their version of gluten free Apple fritters, we both had a food orgasm, then ordered more. Thank you for the flavour explosion!”

“We hosted a dinner last week at Kalvas for a work event and the experience was next level. The food was phenomenal and the service was even better. The waiter was attentive and quick, and provided great recommendations. We had our drinks to us within a minute or two each time! There was not a single complaint from any of our team members about their meal, drink or dessert. Will definitely add this to my list for future personal visits! Surf & Turf with the Filet pictured.”

“We had a sold out show last night at French Creek Pub. It was such a fun and unforgettable night. The staff were so funny and friendly. The patrons made us feel like we were their friends. Food was delicious. Great space for live entertainment or parties. We’d definitely love to come back if they’d have us. The Bad Decisions Comedy Tour”

“Good food, great service, clean establishment. I stopped in mid morning on a Saturday and was seated with no wait. The service could not have been better, my order arrived quickly but had a small problem which they fixed without delay. Food is good, but not “great”, they earn 4 stars but only just. Otherwise this is a fairly ordinary chain style family restaurant. Prices were a little high but that is the case everywhere it seems. Easy to recommend.”
