celebrated my partner’s birthday and NYE dinner. Front staff were able to accommodate my reservation and were very friendly when we arrived (bonus points for the freebies we were able to take home for NYE!). Thomas was a great server, he checked in on us enough. Servers that were serving with Thomas around us seemed friendly that he was asking customers if they’re visiting/from town. Calamari was really good too with the salad Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Love having dinner at this great restaurant. It's the perfect place to go for special occasions. We go here often before enjoying a show at the Port Theater. Friendly, professional service, fine meals, and well-priced for high-quality ingredients.

Our favorite place to be on our wedding anniversary, we are from town and able to call in no problem and made reservations to sit Harbour view, I didn't get out waiters name tonight (I forgot) but he was absolutely amazing and very tentative. The food was delicious and we will always be back Thanks so much again

I had dinner and appy hour two nights in a row for this current business trip. I did went here two months ago but it was with a brief stay for a glass of Blue Grouse wine with a group of executives during early appy hour before departing for a business dinner with another executive group across the street. First evening I had the fungi flatbread & the 10 oz striploin. I was so hungry after arriving from Victoria that I had a voracious appetite and the food was amazing. Second night I missed early appy hour due to complications and had the salmon first, then came back for the chicken pesto flatbread. Again simply delish but somewhat disheartened with the service in late appy hour. I didn't get the chance to order a second flatbread and by the time I finally had that server's attention, I was denied for a second order of flatbread. Either way, totally recommend. If you stay at the hotel from Wednesday to Saturdays at the Coast Bastion Hotel, you get 15% off dinner entrees and 50% off flatbreads during appy hour periods. Compliments to the chef, hope I get to try again next time I'm in the area.

My wife and I shared a great meal here. Kelly was great the meal amazing. The crab cakes are worth the drive from Victoria. The batter on Calamari light and crispy. Salads had a perfect vinaigrette. Beer nice and cold. A great lunch.

We were fortunate to receive gift cards to this restaurant. We wish we had gone here way sooner! We loved every bite. Our server was excellent. We love how excited he was to tell us about the menu- we are looking forward to coming back for the prime rib! Delicious. Thank you!

I had an amazing experience with the service, seafood, and desserts. The staff were incredibly attentive and made sure we felt welcome throughout the meal. The seafood was fresh, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. As for the desserts, they were simply delightful—sweet, rich, and the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, it was an outstanding dining experience, and I highly recommend it.

We stayed at Bastion Coast for 2 nights and we decided to try this restaurant. OMG everything we had were delicious. First night we had steak & scallops. Cooked to perfection. So we went back the next day for their Sunday prime rib special, calamari and tuna vermicelli salad. Everything were fantastic. Both of our servers were amazing and attentive. Can’t wait to come back here!
