I visited this restaurant with a party of two and we were pleasantly surprised by the experience. The staff was very accommodating and understanding of our allergies, taking our order promptly. The water and coffee arrived within a reasonable time frame, and the Americano I ordered was served without delay.
The mimosa I ordered came shortly after, and the food arrived at a timely 10:27 (about 30 minutes after ordering). Throughout our meal, the staff checked up on us and provided punctual service.
The Chipotle Bennie with potato hash that I ordered was absolutely delicious. The eggs on the Bennie were cooked to perfection, with no runny whites, and the hollandaise sauce had a delightful combination of richness and citrus. The portion sizes were generous, offering great value for the price. The Mimosa flights were a unique and tasty option.
The restaurant had a clean and well-maintained environment, with both the bathrooms and tables being spotless. The service was exceptional, with many servers taking care of the tables and sharing responsibilities efficiently. Despite the small interior, the music and noise level were just right, allowing for comfortable conversations without straining to hear.
The restaurant's central location provided us with plenty of options for places to visit afterward. I do have a minor suggestion for improvement—the cheesy potato dish could benefit from a bit more sauce to enhance the flavor in the middle.
On a positive note, they offer a separate kids menu with decent portions at half the price. Overall, our experience was excellent, and I highly recommend...
Read moreWe were on vacation in the Comox area, and enjoyed a delicious brunch at Tidal Café. We were travelling with our dogs, and pleased to learn that Tidal Café has a dog-friendly patio. It was very busy when we arrived (positive sign), so we added our names to the list, and came back and were seated at a lovely table on the patio.
One of the staff (owner or manager?) came over and asked if it was OK if she brought a piece of bacon out for our dogs. It was of with us, and the dogs loved it. So not only was this place dog-friendly, but they actually welcomed dogs to their patio. Our brunch was great. We each had a different eggs benny dish, and we both really enjoyed it. It's a cute spot, and I really liked the cute sayings on the boards and...
Read moreWe thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast and dining experience at Tidal Cafe. The food and coffee was delicious, fresh and served hot. While they had standard items on their menu, there was also a great selection of unique and original choices. We opted to try some creations from the kitchen and ordered a Potato Cheese Bowl and a new twist on steel cut oats. Both were delicious and nice sized servings. We had the opportunity to chat with one of the owners, Blythe who shared that they have systems and equipment in place to alleviate any food sensitivity or allergy concerns. All of this adds up to be a place that we will be happy to dine at again and recommend to others. Great addition to our community. Thanks,...
