I decide to look around and see what they have. Right away I found oatmeal raisin cookies and saw a few other things. Upon checking out, a lady in a short ponytail and grey hair seemed very unhappy and unfriendly. The vibe she was putting out said "fuck off." The hotdogs that they sell weren't sold at 11am. The older of the two ladies told me "we don't sell them until noon. Go buy them on the boat." Its the tone she said this in that leads me to believe they are sharing the same bug up their asses. I kept these thoughts to myself, but my wife also experienced this same hospitality. I heard the same older lady tell another couple your're still in Canada. Once again it was the tone she gave off, but she was a little more friendlier that her friend, coworker or daughter. Whatever the case is, these two need an attitude adjustment.

That was maybe the best packed takeout I've had. The sourdough toast was separately wrapped. Everything was very tasty and for once a place that knows how to make eggs over medium while keeping yolks soft. I'd post a picture but I managed to chow it all before I got through US Customs. Good and friendly service as well.

We had about an hour to kill before we returned our rental car, so we stopped in for a quick bite…read more We were seated at a table and waited, while tables were cleared around us and orders taken. Our waitress came to the table, we told her we only had about 1/2 hour to eat, and we ordered a beer (bottled, they were our of draft beers) and one bowl of chowder. We waited. And waited . The beer arrived (very nice Kokanee lager). We drank the beer, and waited. We finally had to leave without the chowder. I don't know if it was tasty. Seriously: how long does it take to get a ladle, and pour the chowder into a bowl?

I'm updating my review to reflect on my 2nd visit to this establishment…read more I popped by on my way home and the special was the cod and chips for $19.99. I decided to give this a try and my god, it was bloody horrible. The batter was so heavy and soggy, the plate had tons of grease compiled into a puddle. There was very little cod inside the batter and their tartar sauce was just garlic mayo... Really really disappointing visit today. I don't see myself returning anytime soon because the food was just terrible. Kaley/Kacey, my servier, was a bundle of energy and lovely, I just wish she came to check up on me before you noticed I had thrown my napkin into my food as a sign I was done. Also, the Spitfire desperately needs a good clean, it's quite dirty on the inside and out. Original Review from October 2025. This place has been on my raider for awhile to try and since moving close to the establishment recently I decided to give it a try. The outside is nothing to write home about, neither is the inside... But I'm not coming here for the decor; I came for the food and my god did the food ever represent. I ordered the Philly Beef Dip and it was just delicious - every morsel of it. The service was lovely, I'm not sure why there are negative reviews saying otherwise. Ginny, my server, was attentive, kind and extremely helpful. I can't wait to go back and try theI Sunday roast dinner and more of their menu. It's a down-home cooked establishment and the food and service reflects this! Cheers to an amazing first visit!

It's not a good change at all, we have found some of the baked goods to be stale, found mold on the fruit buns and witnessed the short blond individual not using tongs while putting donuts out on the window display. That really turned us off, as everyone else used tongs. I can only assume is the related to the owners, plus we have noticed portions are smaller and some items looking not as fresh as before. The ambiance has changed and we miss the previous owners or parents that ran this bakery and enjoyed better goods in the past. It's sad when quality is gone.

The buffet was beautifully arranged, abundant, and incredibly thoughtful. Every dish was bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care and intention. Guests went back for seconds (and thirds), and people were talking about the food long after the night ended. What really stood out was how elevated and seamless the experience felt, even with a buffet. Nothing felt rushed or chaotic -- everything flowed effortlessly, and the presentation was just as stunning as a plated dinner would have been. The Terra Tovela team was professional, warm, and attentive, allowing me to fully relax and enjoy my birthday celebration. They truly understood the vibe of a Winter Solstice gathering and brought it to life through food and service. If you're considering buffet or plated catering and want something that feels intentional, soulful, and unforgettable, Terra Tovela is it. I would book them again in a heartbeat.

It's a cute little restaurant/bakery/store before catching the ferry to or from Vancouver. The smashed baked potatoes are crispy and nicely seasoned. They had gf bread to accompany my eggs and bacon.

At least you can pick which wines you want to try. Wine bottles are $16.00 to $30.00. - Tasting ($5.00) - big red rooster, petillant naturel, highland bramble and sweet ginger. Best of the four was the pet-nat. Ginger port was decent. Did not like the big red rooster or the highland bramble (unrefined, rough, needed to be airated). Seems the older folk come here for the bistro's sandwiches. Wouldn't go out of the way to visit.

The atmosphere is quite homey and cozy in here…read more The green papaya salad was excellent and though it was less spicy than I was use to, the balance of sour, spicy and sweet was well done. The Pad Thai had good texture and not overly sweet. The Tom Yum soup had great deep flavour with the right amount of sourness and both our curries were just as good on the palate with complex flavours. Prices and portions were not too bad at 8.99 for soup, appy and main. Either way, I was definitely full by the end. Only thing is that there is not much parking space near the store. You might have to look for street parking elsewhere.
