Moved to Courtenay recently and haven't much of a chance to check out local restaraunts yet but…read moretoday we finally got to treat ourselves yayy! I ordered the Sausage and Cheese skillet because I love hollandaise on pretty much anything. The 4 stars is because there was just enough hollandaise but not enough to make me taste it so maybe next time it will be saucier. There was a lot of the promised cheese though. Over all I can say the service was friendly and frequent and my coffee was refilled twice without any waving of arms. My 6-year-old son ate his entire breakfast and it was a reasonable portion for his size. My wife had the Cathy's Breakfast Sandwich which looked good and she had no complaints. This place kind of reminds me of The Pantry except the decor is cooler. They have a car theme with real old gas pumps, license plates and other memorabilia. The reason it reminds of The Pantry is because the 6 guys at the table next to us asked the waitress if they could just have a jug of coffee on their table instead of her having to come back and she was perfectly fine with that. Bathroom was clean except for some weird stains on the ceiling. We'll definitely go back as our breakfasts for 3 people with coffee, orange juice, and milk for the child came out to about $35.

It was actually quite nice. I think it has gone down hill. My fish and chips was not good. The fish was heavy with oil and overcooked. The chips look like the ones leftover in the bottom of the fry container. They were broken up oilly dry and no taste really. My husband's burger was not seasoned he said it was bland. I don't think I would go back

And the food is fantastic too, so that doesn't hurt ;) I was traveling solo to Courtenay last week, and Off Main had popped up in my search as a nice spot for a late brunch/lunch. When I went, I had to wait for about 10-15 minutes, and then I was seated at the same time as this retired couple by the window. It turns out they were regulars at this restaurant, which gave me confidence about how good the food would be--after all, who would be a regular at a horrible food establishment? I ordered a half size chicken and waffles. Super crispy chicken, silky hollandaise, and excellent house made hot sauce. Though the order took a long time to make (super busy day!), my server offered me a drink on the house to apologize. And throughout the meal, I got to chat with the couple seated next to me, which was also so lovely. After they left, one of the servers told me that they had paid for my meal. What an incredibly kind act. I left a thank you note with the staff, in hopes they will get it next time they're back. My server also hand wrote me a list of local recommendations for places to go and where to eat around there. Wow. Just good vibes all around. I can't wait to go back the next time I'm on the island.
