My partner really wanted the banana peanut butter crepe as he loves those two things. He really enjoyed that crepe, in my opinion the peanut butter is too much and I find it super sticky - I think adding fresh berries to this crepe would elevate it even more and help the sticky factor. To each their own as I just prefer more freshness but if you like banana and pb you'll love it on its own. Next time I'd like to try their berry compote one. Thought the coffee mugs they used were super cute! Our friends got the coffee flight which was super interesting but my drip coffee was exactly what I needed that morning.

The ice cream shop was open next door and connected for seating but idk if that is a constant or just an occasional thing.

Water in reusable cups was provided, everything seemed to be reusable or compostable aside from saran wrap which is a nice touch and always appreciated. Nice to pop into and look around at the local goods (lake cowichan milk and Shanti chai for example sold here).

The hostess was in the kitchen having a causal conversation with the staff. When we requested a bread pudding to-go, we were told the kitchen had just closed 2 mins prior to her coming out to talk to us, even though we were in the restaurant and she was distracted elsewhere. Despite explaining that we had arrived earlier and asking if an exception could be made since it is a to-go order, the staff declined. It was a disappointing end to what we had hoped would be a positive visit.

It's bare bones in the decor department, with the wooden floors showing a fair amount of wear and tear. The kitchen service was quite slow, with our three meals taking quite some time considering the place was almost empty. The fryer is someone friend, but the items we ordered were over cooked. The menu has plenty of chicken items on it, but we were informed upon sitting that they had no chicken, other than wings. K ordered the wings, and when they landed she asked for some dip, which never materialized, though our server did come by and mention it after we had finished eating. She mentioned she asked the kitchen for it, but then Buddy in the kitchen sneezed and had to wash his hands, at least he did that. In the time he washed his hands the dip was a forgotten memory. My veggie sandwich was ok, but the cream cheese was very evident overpowering the rest. The sliders were ok according to our guest, but identifying the fried additions took a while to identify. The washrooms were very clean, which was a positive. I can't imagine being there when it's busy, you'd wait an eternity for your food I fear. Not a redo for us, sorry.

We liked the variety on the menu and they have non-alcoholic beer available. I tried a flight of beers and found some new brews I really like. If only I can get them in California. Foodwise, we had the smoked brisket sandwich and the seared cod with white beans and veg. We were hungry so no photos. The sandwich was alright. We're used to brisket with stronger flavors or perhaps a bit more smoke flavor. The seared cod was very good. For some reason, I didn't expect soupy beans. But the flavor was good and I enjoyed it.

The onion rings didn't come with a dipping sauce, we requested an aioli, which our server obliged. Overall- good solid pub food- cool spot to sit with friends over some drinks.
