Absolutely the best meal.we have ever had (both in 60s and I cook for a living) The appetizers blackened median rare tuna with pickled ginger and bacon wrapped scallops are to die for. The planked salmon and dessert we done to perfection. Even the drinks were great.

Absolute BEST surf and turf we've ever had! My husband had the Grand Admiral steak and I had the seafood boil, and we shared the bruschetta and peanut butter pie. Absolutely amazing on all fronts, steak could be cut with a butter knife. Our server was Summer and she was attentive but not overbearing, 11/10 service. Drinks were delicious, and overall this is a MUST visit! Worth every single penny spent!

Everything we ordered was amazing! Went here twice and always ordered the seafood chowder. they have a really nice patio. Great spot for some fresh seafood!

Food was immense. We went at lunch - the Tuna burger was top tier, 10/10 would recommend.

I’ve lived in the PNW for almost 6 years, and this was by far one of the most delicious, memorable meals I’ve had here. We had the Seven Stones Chardonnay paired with the ultimate seafood chowder with gluten free (for me) and regular bread (for my bf), followed by the crème brûlée. Every piece of this experience was absolutely perfect, and I WILL come back when I visit Tofino again.

Food was amazing!!!! Beef was incredible and that means a lot coming from an Albertan!!! Will definitely be back!!

We went there 2 years ago and it was our first visit to Tofino. Loved their variety of seafood dishes. Reservation highly recommended. Too sad we found a few other nice restaurants were permanently closed now.

Food was amazing, both the steak and seafood were quality. Bottles of wine are also reasonably priced for a restaurant. Service was excellent and the staff has personality which is always nice. We had a great time with the bartender who served us. A bit pricey but honestly worth it for the quality. Would definitely return on our next trip.
