Fours stars for a typically dull off-sales... Say what?…read more Well... I learned a valuable lesson over the weekend. That the little stores sometimes get stuck with "random" bottles of wine that they can't sell to their regulars. So there we were loading up from their limited selection of REAL ciders and we (OK, so it was Crystal H) noticed a 2005 Razer's Edge Shiraz sitting all alone on the shelf. Uh........ "Holy Sechelt", I yelped. The elusive '05 RE. That is an incredible bottle of wine that I searched out in Vancouver 4 years ago with very limited success. I miraculously found one in a BC liquor store and cellared it for three years. And when I finally opened it last year... well, lets just say there was some magic happening at the dinner table. Back to the lesson at Lighthouse. Of course I bought their lonely bottle. And it is likely that it's already peaked in taste. But who cares. What a find! Support the little guys, and you just never know what you may discover.

Nothing wrong with this store. Ignore the self centred idiots complaining. People love to complain…read more It's a small store with small store prices and a good selection of baked goods.

A little store/cafe that has been taken over by new ownership. I read the negative reviews and…read morehave to disagree as that was not our experience. We were there yesterday and had a coffee and a sandwich. Have to say, the portabello sandwich was delicious. We would go back just for that. The coffee was also really good., The staff was not overly friendly and chatty but they were certainly not rude by any stretch. The seating area of course has an amazing view, The store itself had a good variety of stuff and a lot of local stuff., We will definitely go back and would recommend.

Checked out The Bricker Cider Company on a busy Friday. There's food (charcuterie and pizzas) from…read moreThe Shed, board games, giant Jenga, cornhole and a playground area for the kids. Outdoor area is spacious. 8 ciders on tap, beer and Shine Kombucha. A glass of cider (12oz) ranged from $6.25-$7.25. Cans are normally $5.50-$6.25. - Flight ($8.00 for 3) - earl grey, peaches & cream and strawberry & kiwi. Strawberry and kiwi was the best one. Earl grey had a strange end note, peaches & cream was too subtle

Mind. Blown. Wha...?! It's in a small section of what (looks to be) an old hotel. The inside is…read morecharmingly disheveled and packed to the rafters with friendly, fun-loving people. Dave Paul (the Owner) is easy to spot as he is quite tall. But even if he wasn't tall, you'd meet him eventually. He's a guy with a career in hospitality and he intuitively works a room with a laid-back fun-loving style and easy laugh. He started with kit home brew years ago, but really began making awesome beer when he went all-grain. The beers are delicious. The merch is high quality (we bought 2 tshirts, we loved it that much). Make sure they're open before you make the trip. But if you do go, don't let the exterior fool you. Dive into the rabbit hole head first. There's a jovial party inside that you don't want to miss.

Was looking for a brewery on the island and Fern and Cedar in Qualicum Beach came up & was close to…read morewhere we were... perfect! We put our name in and the wait was only 15 mins so not too bad considering how packed the place was our server was out going & that always makes for a nice time the 2 piece fish and chips were really enjoyable I especially liked the very thin crispy batter and also the chutney that came with it really different in a good way my wife had the Seafood Chowder with Bannock to start and loved it also the Avocado bowl with Salmon for her main and she said it was just what she needed lots of good nutritious food and the Salmon was cooked to perfection I also had a couple of their great dark ales, would definitely have those again The meals were a good serving enough that we passed on dessert As for price point a little more than other places but not out of line considering the quality of the ingredients and the serving size I wouldn't hesitate to return for another very enjoyable meal thx to all at Fern and Cedar

The food is fresh and good quality cook - not overly done and they consider plant based options with a side menu for. I am not a vegetarian but feeling really full and good after the citrus avocado bowl with grilled tofu. There's indoor, indoor with covering and a nice patio space for seating. Service was good - the server somehow knew I don't eat spicy and provided a small portion of non-spicy veggies for me. We came later at night and there's ample free street parking. Definitely recommended.
