“ Seriously Good Food. I was blown away by the flavour in each bite. The freshness of the ingredients and method of prep is a testimony of the passion of this restaurant. I will be returning any time I'm in courtenay while these doors are open. Thank you for the time well spent. ”
“ I don't know why it took so long to finally make it here for breakfast but so glad we did. Had the classic breakfast and everything was perfection, especially the pork belly. My wife had the veggie benny and claims it was the best she has ever had. Now its not the fastest in the world but there is something to say for that. Take your time, enjoy the company and the comfortable surroundings. I also have to mention the service was attentive and super friendly. Can't wait to go back! ”
“ Hands down the best brunch cafe in Courtenay and Comox. Seriously if this restaurant was in downtown Vancouver there would be lines consistently out the door, the food is that good. Love their Cesar, nice a muddy, they add horse radish that add a nice kick! The chicken and waffles was juice and delicious. Loved the prawn Benny it was divine! ”
“ My wife and I had an incredible brunch here. We were very impressed with the creativity of the dishes. The flavors allowed the freshness of the ingredients speak for themselves, while pairing them in ways that made the flavors better than if they were just on their own. The service was so friendly, and welcoming. From the minute we stepped into the restaurant, it felt comfortable and easy to feel right at home. As well the Steak & Eggs Benny was possibly one of the best non-traditional Eggs Benedict's I have ever eaten. I would never have thought to add a chimichurri sauce, but the way the flavors balanced the richness of the rest of the dish made it exceptional. ”
“ I have to say the experience we had here was over the moon to say the least. So friendly, and a home like service but on a professional hospitality level. The food for me was quite delicious, a great place to savour if you are searching for eats, that will satisfy and comfort your deepest cravings. We went here during a storm and there were 6 power outages and yet they still remained calm, produced delicious food, and gave the best service anyone could expect. The interior decor is really fun, eccentric, mix-match modern contemporary direction, mural that invokes thoughts of appetite and adventure. The music and vibes are quite warm and upbeat, as are the people. I whole heartedly recommend this place if at least to try, it is thoroughly worth every dollar. FYI: The best Caesar..... I have ever had. It isn't just a beverage. It will really quench your thirst and taste buds! The photos on my phone do no justification as to how everything really was! ”
“ Awesome food & service. Price tag overall is on the higher side, but probably one of the better lattes I’ve had. ”
“ This place was the highlight of our trip! Decided to walk in on a whim and accidentally found the most amazing place on the island - we were travelling by RV with my two tired and worn out kids and stepped into a little piece of heaven. The owners made us feel like family and the food was some of the best we've ever had. Could not recommend this place more, don't miss it! The only downside is that they're not in my city :D ”
“ Stopped by and enjoyed the soft launch of the new menu and WOW. We shared the pork belly Benny and smoked salmon and avocado toast, the latter of which was our favourite. Such a nice smoke on the salmon and then perfectly cooked eggs and a bit of crunch from the cucumbers, soooo good! Also have to call out the killer breakfast potatoes! ”
