I mean it isn't horrible, and my three stars are pretty generous. To be petty i'll give 2.9 stars (lol)
After driving for over four hours from Nanaimo to Ucluelet and getting car sick on the way over, we were looking for some simple food.
This restaurant is pretty pricey for the amount of food they give. Honestly not worth it.
Slow service and wait time for food, considering the amount of people in the restaurant, it should've been out much quicker.
I ordered the Wild Mushroom Risotto. It was extremely bland and had no taste other than the cheese that was grated on top. I had to down it in salt and pepper and even then it was tasteless. My guess is that they didn't season the rice. Me and my dad eventually switched plates because he is used to eating plain congee everyday and the risotto tasted exactly like that so he thought it was okay.
My dad ordered the Duck a l'Orange. It came with a polenta cake and greens. It was really good and I was going to order that before but the menu described the dish as dijon mustard tasting and I don't like mustard so I didn't get it. The duck was cooked nicely and the sauce was sweet. The polenta cake was crispy and was great with the duck.
My little brother got the mini cheeseburgers from the kids menu. For him it was great and he finished the whole plate which is unusual for him because he's picky on what he eats and this was probably the first time i've ever seen him finish two sliders and a big plate of fries on his own.
My mom got the scallops and the oysters. Scallops were okay, some weren't cooked evenly. I didn't try the oysters but my mom and my dad didn't like them and they weren't fresh.
For dessert my brother had vanilla ice cream that came with his kids meal and I ordered the Black Rock Sacher Cake which is a dense chocolate cake with apricot and strawberries. Honestly the cake was basically a chocolate cake because i didn't taste any apricot layered in between the layers. Tasted good, but afterwards I felt a little sick from eating it.
Honestly, wasn't worth it, but we didn't have anywhere else to eat because we are staying at the hotel. You should save your money and go into the town where there are probably better restaurants for half the price. read more
