It definitely gets busy but it is one of the best restaurants in Tofino. I enjoyed all of their drinks, including the mocktails, and all their food, especially theirs salads, oysters, and steak.

A great spot in Tofino for local beers, oysters, burgers, and a relaxed atmosphere! We didn't have…read morea reservation and came as walk-ins, so we were seated at the bar. While we didn't get a dining room table, the bar seating turned out to be a great experience. The bartender was friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed trying a few beer tastings and ordered some local Tofino beers. It was a fun way to discover some local beers. The highlight was the SHELTER Beef Burger and fries. The burger had the perfect flavour, and the fries were a great match. It was a satisfying meal after exploring Tofino. Tofino is a popular tourist destination, reservations are highly recommended if you want a specific dinner time and a comfortable dining room seat. Walk-ins are still accepted, but you may need to wait for a table or dine later in the evening, sometimes after 8pm. Overall, Shelter is a highly recommended stop in Tofino. Great drinks, delicious food, and excellent service. We just wish we could have enjoyed the same great meal in a more comfortable dinner seat! Food: 4/5 Should Try! Service: 5/5 Kids: 4/5 Yay!

Nice little local brewery with way above average food and cool ambiance with board games to boot…read more Came in on our way driving from Victoria to Ucluelet for a decent beer and dinner after a long day of hiking and driving. We were pleasantly surprised by a small, but nice brewpub with board games to boot. They didn't have any tables for four because of reservations, but we were able to sit at the bar and set our kids up with a game of Battleship while we had some beer and food. The beer wasn't world class, but also didn't disappoint. The unicycle sour IPA, was my standout, but the porter and monster mash IPA were also good. The rest were fine, but not amazing. The food was (if anything) better than the beer. The plain cheese pizza my son got was good and had nicely browned cheese all over. The sauce was a bit on the sweet side, but not unpleasantly so. I'd probably lean more into pizza next time even if it's a bit too carb heavy. The spuds (potato wedges) were only OK. I got the Thai chicken salad, which was spicy with great greens and good chicken. Nice and fresh. My wife seemed to be less enamored of her bahn mi burger, but still said it was good. The service was attentive and happy to accommodate us and our kids. Would definitely come again.

We both ordered the cosmic burger which arrived in an absurd 50 minutes after ordering, it lacked in the flavour department big time. Our server and the bus/host team were great, very well mannered and respectful. The atmosphere was nice. Good music and an ocean view. The main issue is the kitchen, the restaurant was no where near full but the excuse given to us was that the kitchen staff became overwhelmed with orders... not acceptable in our opinion.

We were actually camping at Rathtrevor Provincial Park. The food was outstanding: we started with these panko crusted white cheddar cheese balls sprinkled with Parmesan cheese--crispy, gooey and yummy. I had a Guinness on tap which was one of the freshest I had ever had and not a bit bitter. The server (who was super friendly and knowledgeable) steered me to the creamy seafood chowder which was filled with salmon, halibut, scallops, prawns and clams and not at all salty . After dinner we enjoyed a stroll along the rocky coast in front of the resort. Next time we are anywhere near Nanoose Bay, we will be back!
