    Service was wonderful, food was amazing, and the ambiance was perfect! The whipped cream on top of the hot chocolate was the best I've ever had.

    Tucked into a nice hotel in Sooke, West Coast Grill has all the makings of a tourist trap: overpriced and underwhelming. The dinners we're confusingly designed - the fish came with fries, and soup, and coleslaw, all tucked in a wooden tray. The butternut squash was covered in arugula and goat cheese, oddly proportioned and giving the dish an overall confusing texture. Ultimately, the prices make the dishes disappointing, coming in at a minimum of $26/dish.

    We came here for happy hour twice while vacationing in Sooke. The ambiance and decor is nice, it's clean and modern and nice views of the harbour. The servers were all very welcoming and friendly. We only ordered the shrimp shared plate (small portion for $30!) and garlic fries- both tasted great. Good selection of wine & beer for happy hour. It was quiet earlier in the day and filled up by 5-6pm. Nice place, would definitely go back.

    Mushroom ravioli

    Once again West Coast Grill chef Adam Guther has proven his expertise with fresh local seafood! Our group of 10, had a delightful & delicious meal with a wide tasting of the tempting menu. Appetizers included luscious crab cakes, calamari & the three cheese dip. The calamari got high praise from our out of town guests. The mushroom ravioli was rich & unctuous & satisfying. The fresh fish & chips with a side of chowder was yummy & the kids all loved the chicken & chips. We rounded off the meal with a variety of desserts: the eye popping mile high mud pie, the spectacular chocolate tart & an array of ice creams & sherbet. In addition to the restaurant, the kitchen was also catering to a very large wedding at the hotel & yet they never missed a beat in delivering a fantastic meal!

    Meh. An ok place to have breakfast if you're staying at the hotel, but nothing to write home about. They do have great GF options across the board (including gluten free pasta at dinner), and many items can be altered to be made GF. Unfortunately they were out of crab when we had dinner there and the Fisherman's Bowl was pretty seafood light for what it was. Can't say the heavily dressed salad was much better. The hollandaise sauce on the eggs Benedict lacked flavor, and the potatoes were bare, and a bit soggy feeling. Finally, the bar was also quite light in terms of selection. Great spot for the views and service (you couldn't ask for more friendly or attentive staff) but wouldn't seek out the restaurant again.

    Lively atmosphere and good food for a reasonable price. Both seafood dishes were very good and fresh. Many touch points from several friendly staff making sure we were well taken care of. Great friendly and timely service.

    This is another case of looks can be deceiving. The place has beautiful decor and the chairs are very comfy. You'd expect first class service and cuisine, but they fell short. We ate there twice. Once for breakfast and once for the special Christmas Dinner. For breakfast we were told we needed reservations and yet no one even asked when we showed up. The place was mostly empty. We had problems with the wait staff. They seem quite unorganized and not trained very well. It took forever to get our order placed. The food was good, but we lost our waitress when it was time for the bill. For the Christmas Dinner, the Seared Digby Scallop was overcooked and tough. the Wagyu Beef was mediocre and not very flavorful, the Seafood Trio was rubbery and overcooked. I've had much better food at other Best Western restaurants. Too bad..

    Stick in the Mud Pie...Expresso coffee ice cream with chocolate nubs inside.

The Seafoam…read moreSeafoods truck was open for business in the morning, so we were able to visit Miss Lilian. She gave us samples of pretty much everything she had to offer. I'll try to add some photos on this review, because I'm also adding this as a business to Yelp along with posting the review. You really can't get much fresher Salmon than this. Seafoam is the First Nation's community's fishing enterprise, Pacheedaht Fishing Corporation Inc. We picked one of the whole Smoked Pink Filet and a package of the Chinook Candy. The "candy" is big fresh chunks of Chinook Salmon that has been smoked and sweetened just a tad with brown sugar. It isn't too sweet, either... just the right amount. We drove from Port Renfrew two hours over to Nanaimo for the ferry, and literally opened up the Chinook Candy and ate it right out of the bag as we drove to the ferry terminal. It was one of the best things we had on our entire BC trip, too. We knocked out the Smoked Pink Filet later, and it was equally amazing. I believe the truck stops coming at the end of summer for several months in Port Renfrew, so you can look up Seafoam Seafoods online to locate other retail outlets during off-season. If you are in "Renny" during the summer season, be sure to drop in on this spot to buy fresh seafood right from the First Nations people. Get there early, because they do sell out of the most popular items first.

We were able to get a table outdoors after the rain ended. The staff were very friendly and prompt.

We sat near the bar and people were friendly. We started with cocktails and got the coconut and mint with rum. My husband got one with tequila and ranch water. Both cocktails were very disappointing! Mine didn't have the mint muddled and it didn't have any distinguished flavor... I also didn't taste any alcohol so I had to ask what was in it. It was very plain. The same with my husband's. Both tasted like inexpensive well drinks and no character. Wouldn't recommend the cocktails. We also got sourdough garlic bread. This was good but not worth $9. I then ordered the Moonlight soup and ordered salmon in it. Please note that all soups will not come with protein so you have to order that on the side. Mine did come with some tofu so it had protein but the addition of fresh salmon was nice. The soup was tasty. It had shiitake and miso flavoring. I was toggling between a 3 and 4 rating. I felt that since it was using Asian influences, it could at least be respectful to Asian culture (chopsticks were stuck in the soup so it can be taboo with meaning death or bad luck). I didn't particularly like that and sort of felt that these were all Asian based soups with no reference to Asian culture. It felt a little odd to me. While I enjoyed it, my husband's soup was a bit lukewarm and tasted like Thai curry soup. Tasty but not hot which is a bummer. I think the kale cooled it down. I do think the soups should be more obvious that the soups do not contain protein. This should be noted at the top not at a separate bottom section where it's labeled that you can add the additional fish to any of the soups (just have it next to the soup and salad sections instead). This seems sneaky... I had mixed experience. Staff were kind but maybe I'd check some other place out.

We were hungry, both got the seafood platter - my daughter the halibut & shrimp, I got the same but with clams added. Food was ready in about 10 min. The halibut was cooked to absolute perfection! Batter was crisp and the exact doneness. The halibut was both flaky and moist, you seriously could not get it done any better in any restaurant anywhere. You can get shrimp fried either w regular batter or coconut. We both opted for coconut. Again, fried perfectly, and the coconut adding a slight sweetness to the breading. The accompanying tartar sauce was fresh & a fitting complement to all of the above. I had the fried clams on the bigger seafood platter. Fried just right, along with fish & shrimp. The fries were crisp, fresh. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. We were there about 20 min before close, he was glad to serve us, talk with us. If you're somehow going to be in Neah Bay, waaaay up in NW Washington, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to Bigginz. You'll be delighted you did!

    THIS IS THE MOST REAL REVIEW YOU WILL SEE ABOUT THIS RESTAURANT. every yelp review about this place…read moreis so fake. After a long day of hiking and driving from Port Angeles to Forks, we did the Hoh trails and were extremely hungry after. We looked on Yelp and this was one of the highest rated places, so we thought it would be good. I genuinely do not understand the ratings. The food was terrible. The nachos were basically just a bag of stale chips served on a plate. There was maybe sour cream on ONE chip. The cheese was literally cold and frozen onto the chips. I'm not even exaggerating. The sandwiches were also extremely bland and nothing about the food matched what the reviews made this place seem like. Even looking through the reviews beforehand, so many of the Elite reviews read like the same forced AI review saying how amazing everything is. After actually eating here, I seriously question how this place has such a high rating. Easily one of the worst meals we had on the entire trip. I don't even wanna put a pic of the nachos that's how bad it was. the sandwiches were actually pretty decent that's about it.
