There wasn't much choice, so we just picked this closest one. My husband ordered a burger, but he didn't feel that the burger was any special. Coming from someone that loves burgers... that says something. I ordered the seafood penne; the sauce was too thick to swallow and so the dish was overall very dry. Chicken wings were on special that night, so we got it 10 for $3. I thought a pub wouldn't do chicken wings wrong, but all of them were over fried and dry, so we couldn't finish them. They also didn't know what honey garlic flavour means and just sprayed a lot of garlic salt on top. Both of us aren't pub-goers so we don't know if we were the weird ones for requesting that flavour???

My…read morehusband and I were driving through and already had eaten a big late lunch so opted to head here for dinner but weren't too hungry so decided to order the carrot cake, yes carrot cake for dinner because we're adults and can do what we want. But holy hell this carrot cake is prob the best slice of carrot cake I've ever had, whoever is baking back in the kitchen is a total rockstar. This cake is moist flavourful, the nuts are a great add and the icing isn't too sweet it's simply perfect. We were shocked at how this blew us away. As for the beers my hubby got 2 that he thought were pretty good but I wasn't drinking and ordered their homemade ice tea and omg they did it again, so shockingly good! Just the right amount of citrus and great tea flavour. The over atmosphere inside is just okay but the service is attentive and all in all we were pleasantly surprised by how delicious our few items were!

We were 22 strong, so taking care of us on short notice looked like it could be an issue. Not for Fifty Parallel! I called at a few minutes before 5 PM and asked if they could accommodate 20ish folks at 7 PM. I was put on hold for a minute and told that yes they could, that doesn't happen often. The staff took exceptional care of all of us. They were very friendly, accommodating and just right. The place was hopping the entire time we were there, so the locals must enjoy the place as well. The menu is quite wide ranging, from Greek fare, to Italian, pizza, seafood, you name it. Usually when there are this many choices they are decent at the range, but not outstanding at anything. Not the case here, everyone raved about the food and the beverages as well. Our beer drinking crowd loved the selection of mainly BC product. Couldn't have gone better, and we will be sure to return our next time in Campbell River.

Yelp maps said it was more than 2 kilometres away, so not sure what happened there. Moxies did not disappoint, and our server Shaye was absolutely excellent. Outgoing, friendly and very good at what she did. Even took the time to make sure K's veggies were cooked on the more well done side that she prefers. Kudos to the kitchen also, for making it happen, small details matter. Her steak was cooked perfectly, and the mashed potatoes very nice. My Beet salad was very well made although I prefer my beets to be a little more al dente. The blackened chicken was good, if perhaps a little over. I believe they use a seasoned breast, which is not my favourite. Our beverages were nicely made, that said wine is difficult to mess up, but a good martini is not easy. The decor is typical Moxies, they are all pretty much the same. That said familiarity is often comforting, and we certainly felt that way. We will be back for sure.

Served with baby zucchini, roasted heirloom carrots. The Cobb salad was very different than any Cobb I have had before. It was an iceberg head halved wedge style topped with whole slices of bacon, croutons, heirloom tomatoes, feta, avocados, capers, hard boiled egg halves with an interesting yolk filling, a tasty white sauce with a slab of grilled salmon on top. It was a very nice change. Dined in a spacious lounge off set from the crowded main room suggested by the host. Service was 5 star and it was excellent way to spend lunch.

PLEASE NOTE MOST OF THE 5-STAR REVIEWS ARE FROM 2019 - before ownership of the restaurant changed…read more I went to this restaurant as part of a party of 4 people in October 2020. I understood the pandemic to be hard on many restaurants, so you can't afford throw customer service out the window. The front staff, not sure if it is family owned, was abrupt, and rude. When I inquired about an order of mine and questioned it, then she was a bit less rude and actually replied with more than just 2 or 3 word-sentence. FYI, some of the orders are not what you might think. Also, I should've paid more attention to the price. I ordered "Salt & Pepper tofu" - big mistake. While the server/owner explained (relatively more politely) that it is not like what I might think it to be (the Chinese salt and pepper fried dishes), it was a bowl of red onions or shallots, some chopped carrots, and soggy tofu. IT WAS ALSO $14. Even the lemongrass chicken was mediocre at best in terms of texture, and the chicken that seemed to have sat in water or a marinade for too long. I will not get into who was running the restaurant as I believe anyone with knowledge, passion, and some training can make great food from any ethnic origin, this restaurant gave the impression that they were almost completely uninterested what the restaurant is marketed to serve, Vietnamese, or at least pan Southeast Asian cuisines.

There's no development to it, or depth of flavor. I'm guessing they don't make their broth from scratch, but I'm not sure. Ordered the rare beef pho with beef on the side, extra meat, and veggies instead of noodles. They gave me plenty of veggies which was fantastic, but I didn't think they actually gave me extra meat! Apparently that is their "extra meat" portion size. All in all price is where it should be, but I wouldn't come back.
