I'm a big Fish & Chips fan. We recently went back for our third time in the past two years. First…read moretime was great. Had a wonderful meal. Second time it seemed slightly off. This most recent time was the last straw. The fish tasted wrong. There was a metallic taste that lingered. The fries were almost dark brown and far too cooked. We were travelling on the road and really couldn't go back to bring up our concerns. It's really too bad. Unfortunately we won't be back.

For a traditional English fish and chips place, the decor was very sterile - 1 stars. I guess we…read moreare used to a more pub like atmosphere. We ordered the family size 6 piece cod and chips. Chips - 5 stars. Fish - the batter was lacking any flavour. It was extremely bland. It was missing salt, pepper, and spices. 1 stars. Service was excellent 5 stars. I think if they added a few spices to the batter and added more publike interest to the walls, this place would be hopping. As is, 2.5 stars Overall.

We were passing through town just before they closed, and were welcomed with open arms, and assured there was no rush (unlike the sushi joint down the street who flipped the closed sign just as we approached the door and refused to serve us and our infant when we were road weary and hungry!) Food was amazing! Fresh, big portions, and very affordably priced. No need to try any other Japanese restaurant in Vernon! This one will not disappoint!!

The fish is also over fried or overcooked. I have to say their fish and chips are not worth the price. Worse is that they tried double frying their fries or they didn't change their oil as frequently as they should. It came out not golden but dark brownish color. On top, it had some staled oil taste. Ingredients are not fresh and on top it is over cooked. I do not recommend coming here.

An unexpectedly mediocre experience…read more We stopped by at opening time on a Saturday morning and were greeted by a frustrated young woman. She rather curtly told us that the coffee machine was broken and that the cook was running late, so there would be a bit of a wait. Rather than matching her energy, I recognized that she was in distress and treated her with patience and compassion. She recovered quickly and began offering excellent service. I ordered the Classic Canadian Brunch and felt disappointed with the sausage and pancakes. The eggs were cooked properly and the bacon was good. My boyfriend went with the Angus Benny, upgraded with the croissant bun. He described it as "not bad and not great." He said the eggs were cooked properly and the hollandaise was "good," but that the beef was "a step above good deli meat" and the bun was "too thin." He liked the potatoes. Maybe this was an off day at the Cozy Nook.

Tips for what ? ,,, so I'm paying around $ 26.00 for three pieces of cod with chips and I have to tip the person cooking it for me ?? A word of advice from someone who has prepared countless orders of fish and chips over the years. Number one ,, make sure the temperature of the oil is up to the correct temperature. Number two ,, when the oil gets old and dark change it !! don't just add fresh oil to the fryer. And yes, I know that's what you do, I'll be glad when C-Lovers opens up down the road from this place. The last order I got from Shady Rest will be the last order ,, disgusting oil soaked dark fish ,, never again.
