“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 ❤️”

“Maybe it's something in the water at Poke Page, but I've never had bad service and everyone I've seen them hire is totally first rate. Shout out to that young mustachioed lad. Legend. They're all beauties.”

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

“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."”

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

“Best sushi in Parksville, owners are so nice I would definitely recommend to try them.”

“Recently celebrated my birthday here with my close friends. we sat outside on the patio. it was great atmosphere, super friendly service. the beer was great and the food tasted amazing. very happy! definitely will be coming back!”

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

“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!”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“We stayed at Oceanside Resort so decided, at the recommendation of a friend who lives close by, to try Taste Taco Bistro, just across the parking lot from our cottage. What a wonderful surprise! From the burrito bowl, to the tacos, to the enchiladas - all were delicious and got two thumbs up from the adults as well as from the 7 and almost 4 year old grandkids. It was so good that after trying 3 other restaurants in our one week stay, we went back to the bistro again. Thank you Kirsten who was so helpful and friendly as she served us, and to your chef (I'm sorry I didn't get his name!). We will come back again when we visit Parksville.”

“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!”

“We absolutely loved our experience at Aioli Restaurant! The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent — friendly, attentive, and professional. Every detail made our visit special. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend Aioli to anyone looking for a great dining experience. We’ll be coming back!”

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

“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!🥰”

“Really good experience at BarBurrito in Parksville. The food is always fresh, portions are generous, and there are lots of options to choose from. The staff are friendly and everything is made quickly. A great spot for an easy, tasty meal!”

“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.”

“My family and I really enjoyed our experience at Kalvas! Our server was very charming and made us feel welcomed. The service was on point and the food was great! We ordered a variety of dishes, e.g. French onion soup, seafood chowder, halibut, lamb, prawns & scallops, and the NY steak. I ordered my steak medium rare and it was perfectly cooked! I also definitely recommend trying their chocolate torte :)”

“Great food and great service!”

“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!”

“Every single experience at Treetop Tapas & Grill is absolutely phenomenal. Without a doubt, this is one of the most relaxing, effortless, and genuinely enjoyable dining experiences I’ve ever had—and it’s one I will continue coming back to for as long as they’re offering it.

What truly sets Treetop apart is how beautifully they understand seasonal cooking and elevated tapas without ever making the experience feel pretentious or overly formal. The food is incredibly thoughtful, creative, and refined, yet somehow still feels approachable and comforting. The chef and kitchen have an incredible understanding of flavour, presentation, and how to make every dish feel special without unnecessarily dressing it up.

And then there’s the atmosphere. Everyone is provided with robes, creating this wonderfully comfortable, almost spa-like environment where you can completely relax and just enjoy yourself. There’s something so refreshing about an experience where everyone is on the same level—comfortable, casual, and completely at ease—while still enjoying exceptionally well-crafted food.

I am honestly blown away every single time I visit. It’s rare to find somewhere that can consistently deliver incredible food, an unforgettable atmosphere, and service that makes you genuinely feel welcomed.

The wait staff deserve a huge shoutout as well. They are incredibly personable, attentive, and knowledgeable without ever making you feel rushed or overwhelmed. They clearly care about the experience they’re providing, and that makes such a difference.

Treetop Tapas & Grill isn’t simply somewhere I go out to eat—it’s an experience I look forward to. If you haven’t experienced it yet, I genuinely cannot recommend it enough.”
