This is a casual and laid-back local's pub located on the marina in Ucluelet. Watch folks show off their catch down below on the dock and the wildlife around the inlet. We saw people carrying big salmon off the docks and also saw several bald eagles from our table up in the pub. Standard pub fare. Standard beer list. Great service by a seasoned server. There are TV's in the pub showing sports. There is also a massive deck overlooking the inlet and marina.

When we asked to sit by the windows, she said that is reserved for larger groups - not just 2 people. When our food was ready, she literally threw our food/plates on our table and left without saying a word. Another server came and she was very friendly and helpful and somewhat apologetic about the first person - who apparently has worked here for years. The food was acceptable for the price. We will not return.

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.

We had a really good experience at Dockside and thought that since they were both owned by the same company that we would also have a wonderful time at Blackfin. What a disappointment our time at Blackfin turned out to be. We did manage to get a table on the patio and it was lovely looking out at the harbour. The service was decent but not as good as the service the evening that we dined at Dockside. It was very busy and our server did try her best. We ordered a bottle of wine and started our meal with a shared appetizer of brie with blackberries, peaches, ginger maple and citrus compote. It was supposed to come with Rosemary flatbread but it seemed to come with small pieces of pita bread with no rosemary. It was also the smallest piece of brie that we've ever been presented with. We probably should have sent it back but we could not find our server. There was only about l oz. or 30gr. of cheese. We each only got 2 very small bites from this $18.00 appetizer. For entrees my husband had Szechuan salmon and I had the steak and prawns. I tried a bite and it did not taste very good at all. My husband did not enjoy his salmon and thought maybe it was because of the seasoning but it definitely was not a good dish. My steak and prawns had overcooked prawns and one of the toughest steaks that I've had. It was very disappointing. When my husband commented to our server that the food was very disappointing she provided us with a complimentary dessert. We chose key lime pie and it was decent. I would not recommend Blackfin Pub. Go to Dockside instead. The view is the same, service is better and the food is significantly better.

Intrigued we both ordered a plateful, and The Walter ($16.95) was enough for two: a huge mounded plateful of chicken chow mein, sweet and sour pork, and "almond chicken" (actually peanuts). I ordered a smaller ($12.95) plate of deep fried prawns and chicken chow mein. I enjoyed it, and it was as expected: old-school 70s style Cantonese-Canadian comfort food. Not gourmet, but satisfying in a vacation mode sort of way. We took the rest of The Walter to enjoy the next day. Otherwise there is s standard fare pub menu. Excellent, friendly service. Nice patio if you want to get out of the darkish interior. It's worth another visit . . .
