“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 ❤️”

“Absolutely fantastic service . The owner is wonderful. The food 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."”

“Great finding Parksville! Had a craving for rice rolls and noodle soup and this little gem was recommended. Quaint little restaurant that was just bustling! Food was delicious and the portions were absolutely huge! Wish we had discovered it earlier in our winter stay in the area!”

“Food took me back to Hai phong. Spring rolls from Heaven. Delicious”

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

“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!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great coffee, local , organic, friendly service”

“what an amazing place 10/10 will be going there again. the food the atmosphere the service you name it. all around amazing place.”

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

“We had lunch at the Parksville location for the first time today but it definitely won't be our last. The food was delicious and the staff were wonderful!”

“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 food was amazing! We had the bisque and the cod fishsticks. The cod tasted fresh and they were so nice as to split up our shared plate in two separate plates. The service was great! The atmosphere is nothing special, but with the amazing quality of the food? It doesn't need atmosphere. Just go and eat an amazing meal.”

“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!🥰”

“Great People and Friendly price to feed Canadians 🇨🇦 Love to see Canadian Food chain understand what Canadians likes ❤️❤️❤️”

“good”

“My second time staying here and can’t wait to be back again! Nancy at front desk is just a gem, got early check in both times as requested, rooms are clean and spacious and nothing beats the balcony and restaurant views! Coffee shop makes amazing drinks and treats and if your lucky in the morning the sweetest dog Casey is in there with his awesome older couple owners and they are so kind to chat with, pool was a great temp but wow it’s cold when your heading back to the dressing rooms in the open air, short safe walkway down to the beach and just a 2 minute drive to almost anything else you might want or need outside of the hotel, my fav hotel on Vancouver island hands down”

“I love Trees but yesterday, I decided that I was going to treat my friend and myself to a Beesting dessert lunch. Unfortunately, they were stale. So disappointed.”

“Great takeout experience🤘🏻Food was delicious, portions were generous, and prices were very affordable. Staff were friendly and helpful. We'll be back for more☺️”

“Best pizza I have had in this area! Delicious 😋”

“Great food and great service!”

“We came here for the Monday night prime rib. The waitress suggested the special of scallops with a corn beet puree which we both had. It consisted of 4 medium sized scallops in the puree with some small sliced mushrooms in the middle topped with some thinly sliced fried onions for texture. There was also a fruit coulis to add contrast. A delicious starter.
The prime rib was orderd med rare but was definitely more medium. Hard to do when the meat is so thin. The yorkshire pudding was perfect, fluffy inside, crisp on the outside not dried up like so many restaurants do. The vegetables were nothing special.
We shared a chocolate mouse for dessert as we were full.
Overall excellent restaurant at the higher end price wise, but worth it.”

“We went to Ricky's after being evacuated from the Wesley ridge fire. We asked if they have discount to evacuees. We showed the server and manager a screenshot of the evacuation notice as well as our ID with our address and they still would not give a discount as we did not have a physical paper.”

“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!”

“Very friendly out standing service and food authentic and delicious, 5 stars *****”

“Always have a amazing experience!!! Staff are amazing! My go to place! Nothing but good feedback! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“Excellent food at a great price.”

“So good. It’s always fresh and fast. Massive vegetarian menu also.”

“Cedars Restaurant is by far our favourite place to dine in Parksville! The food is amazing and staff is always fantastic!!”

“Excellent selection buffet, cozy seating”

“We had a wonderful experience. The menu was overall nice with duck and leek tartlet, fois gras torchon and elk striploin being our top picks and quite good. Solo steelhead and chocolate cake were the only items we were not keen on - the fish was a bit too plain and the cake was too dry. The menu was filling and we did not need to re-order any items. We enjoyed dining at a relaxed pace and in our robes. Curtis was our server and he was attentive, pleasant and informative. Very happy with the customer service. The atmosphere was nice - the dining area is on a smaller side, the noise level was reasonable and the aesthetics were OK. We’re glad we combined the dining experience with the Grotto Spa.”
