We were hesitant to enter the restaurant upon seeing that it's situated in a hotel. Hotel…read morerestaurants are often over priced, in my opinion. However that was not the case. The Breakfast Nook was reasonably priced and we were very satisfied with our orders. We both chose the steel cut oats, mine with berry compote and hers with fruit. We were getting tired of bacon and eggs so this was just right. The service was well above average with servers who seemed to be pleased to greet and serve us. Our coffee cups were kept topped off. The cafe was full after we were seated. That may be because it's fairly close to the ferry to Horseshoe Bay. Parking was free but on the street. It may be more of an issue to park on weekdays, but there were ample parking spaces for us on this Saturday. We would definitely recommend this restaurant for your breakfasts and lunches.

This is a neat place for well made food at a reasonable cost. Bonus, if you are a person that…read moreenjoys looking at boats & being along the water's edge, this is a lovely place in Cowichan Bay to enjoy a meal with a view. Truthfully, I go for their crepes, but my friends are always bey happy with their other menu choices too. The staff is friendly and we never feel rush to eat & leave. This isn't a place you need to really dress up to feel you fit in. However, you also could if the mood suits you & still not feel out of place. Truly, I am happy that they even have tables on the main level that accommodate those with mobility aids. However, that being said, I am struggling to recall if there would be a easy enough way for a wheelchair or even a walker to make it to the main door. I'll have to remember to focus on that long enough before my next crepe eating bliss hits. As Cowichan Bay is a popular area to stop for meals, do plan to go in advance for parking. As even if there are a few spots for the restaurant, there isn't enough space to accommodate the full restaurant. If you are able to find a spot at the restaurant or are double parking at the restaurant (which is apparently allowed), it is good to let the server know what vehicle is yours. Beyond more than mention "I've parked my vehicle here", so a server can notify you if people need to be let out of the space if they're leaving before you're done. If you don''re not lucky enough to grab a parking spot right at the restaurant, you might have to go far up the road (sometimes almost to the hotel) or down the road (towards the parking area by the pubic washrooms) to reach any parking options. Definitely try it out if you are looking fit an option in Cowichan Bay. I know I'm looking forward to many more future happy crepe eating moments here with friends.

I had to ask the adjacent table about the happy hour or specials after overhearing something being said. Dining room overlooking towards the water but then it was a bit blinding with the sunset so shades really helped as the sun moved across. Comfortable and not pretentious. Looks like locals do enjoy the place. Mussels were flavorful with coconut tomato broth. Shrimps were good and large but could have used another kick. Chowder was rich and fish cakes were okay. The Strawberry Rhubarb pie disappeared before our eyes - awesomeness. Enjoy!

First glance at the menu here and you realize it's not unique breakfast/brunch items you haven't…read moreseen before, but it's the quality they put out compared to other local places in Sechelt. Opting for the Basted Basic, you can't mess up a solid plate including a nicely sized biscuit, a good portion of bacon, perfectly poached eggs and freshly mashed avocado. Wifey enjoyed her eggs benny, while my son was just happy to receive a squishy pig toy with his Piglet Pack (kids meal). They also have so baked sweet or savory pastries to go as well. There is both limited internal and outdoor seating, so I could imagine how packed it can be at peak hours. Order at the counter, and they'll deliver your items, and bus your own table (one of the workers graciously offered to do it for us).

They also sell their ketchup in a bottle for take home. The restaurant looks small but they do have a patio area in the back. Plenty of free parking on the street or at the back.

I had the half sized seafood chowder and half sized Caesar salad on my visit. The seating and wait…read moreservice was super quick, with both dishes served at ideal temps. The Caesar salad was shockingly good - easily one of the best I've tried. The Presentation was eye catching and the flavours excellent. 9/10 The seafood chowder was amazing - served in a pottery/glazed dish, it was also lovely to look at. The chowder came with a beautifully cooked slice of salmon - served rare/medium rare at that perfect level of a buttery texture salmon needs. The scallops were so delicately cooked I almost forgot they were scallops (the norm is often chewy/firm). 10/10 The restaurant faces the marina so the view is great rain or shine. The windows are floor to ceiling and really open the space to the water. The staff and servers were outstanding - I felt cared for not bothered. Water was always filled and check-ins frequent but not intrusive.
