Loved their peach Bellini drink here, and their fish and chips are definitely the way to go! Service was friendly and the restaurant is kept well clean overall.

For Appy's we got the Poutine and BBQ Chicken bites that had a bit of a Korean Gojijan flavour which we enjoyed. They gave us the creamy parm dip on the side that was sooooo good and I finished it with the fries that came with the burger, lol. We also got a Smash burger which was excellent and the Cod burger was fantastic, nice size piece of fish! Also tried the root beer in a bottle that was sooooo good. Our server was fantastic and so nice.

Monks is a great candidate for one of those restaurant rescue shows. Nice location and menu, but…read morekitchen and staff need a lot of training. We were lured in because it looked busy, but that was because everyone was waiting on food. While waiting, staff never asked to refill our empty glasses. And when food did finally come, a lot of it was cold because it spent all that time cooling in the prep area. If Monks was well run I could see it being very good, so hopefully it gets rescued

We typically don't have dinner at the hotel we are staying at as it seems to us that either the…read morefood, or the service, are not up to the standards of stand alone restaurants. Definitely not the case at Pastimes on our visit this evening. Our server Teresa was excellent, even though she was quite busy. She happily answered our questions about the food, and the choices we were going to make. We shared a house salad which was plentiful and had a nice accompaniment of dried cranberries and almonds. Both items are things that are often scrimped upon as they are complimentary items that aren't an inexpensive addition. For our mains I got the meatloaf with mashed potatoes, and the lovely K the turkey dinner. Both were excellent, with the meatloaf wrapped by bacon, likely the local Hertel variety which was incredible. Real mashed potatoes and veggies cooked to my perfect taste along with gravy. Easy 5 out of 5, as was K's turkey, also accompanied by mashed potatoes and veggies. The decor is pure sports bar, but the sound on the tv's was down so you could actually talk without the usual noise. The Canucks were in Nashville so we watched the game and enjoyed a very very nice meal. Sadly we couldn't finish it all, and with a travel day tomorrow we had to send it away, what a shame. We will most definitely be back the next time we are in Port Alberni.

I started with the flavorful lemon merengue martini. Yum! The wine selection was pleasing, and we able to order both a chardonnay and a cabernet. My husband had the potato leek soup and I enjoyed the stuffed mushroom caps as our appetizers. They were both delicious! For dinner, he had the special of the day - stuffed chicken with Mashed potatoes and vegetables. The chicken was perfection and the mashed potatoes were incredible. I had the seafood crepe with garlic bread and vegetables. I'm so glad I tried this! It was rich and savory, without feeling too heavy. To finish things off, we shared the sticky date cake - a dessert that is a must-try. It's clear that they take great pride in their food, beverages and service. Other than recommending every item we ordered, I'd also suggest making a reservation ahead of time since this is a small restaurant. You won't be disappointed dining at Chameleons!
