Flying Canoe West Coast Pub — Restaurant in Courtenay

Foodwise, it was decent. However, I would not recommend the ribs, they were VERY cold. The rib under the one top was still frozen. They were also very dry. It wasn't enjoyable in the slightest. The fries that came with it on the other hand, was quite good.

The seafood pasta consisted of mussels, salmon and prawns in a white sauce. It was quite good, very hot and filling. However, the salmon was so dry, I was doing my best to avoid it in my dish. It was very overcooked and not as enjoyable as the rest of the dish. I would recommend something else, or order it without the salmon.

I would not recommend the Manhattan whiskey sour - it definitely could've been better in my personal opinion. It was extremely extremely sour, perhaps due to too much citrus concentrate? I do believe it could have been toned down in that department, but if you like biting down lemons and limes, this might be a drink for you. Or perhaps ordering a double instead? Didn't experiment with this too much as I was diluting it with water.

For appetizers, we had wings and the calamari and I do not have any complaints. If anything, the calamari was chewy but not in a bothersome way.

The waiter was nice and did his job well. No complaints; I enjoyed...

I visited this establishment twice while visiting Courtenay. Why? Because my first experience was wonderful and thought my second would be the same. How wrong I was. My first experience occurred on Easter Friday, when there weren't many people in the building. The lone server I talked to was friendly and pleasant, explaining all the daily specials including her favourites. Because it was a sunny day I asked if I could sit on the patio and she said it was OK (even though she might have to walk further to provide service). My second visit on Easter Monday (I have put in dates hoping the pub managers take note) was a disaster. Once again there was a single server, but not the one I encountered the first time. She was rude from the start. She couldn't explain the daily specials and seemed indifferent when asked about food offerings. She then tried to overcharge me for a Happy Hour beverage. Also, double check the chalkboard for specials before ordering (based on my exchange with server #2) it may be out of date. In summary, the server you have may determine your...

Honestly I never write reviews but I am so happy it tried this place out. I am here in town for work and staying at the Best Western and I didn’t feel like driving somewhere to eat. Thought I would come here for convenience and what a great surprise! So many craft drinks on tap! The wings were excellent! I had some at moxies not long ago and these were WAY BETTER by far!! (And cheaper) . I was so happy to have the basketball game on the projector that’s the size of the entire wall. I had an awesome waitress Taylor who was attentive and helped me choose my dinner option. So happy I went with the pizza ( the open flame stone grill was calling my name ). It sure did not disappoint! Honestly, this may be the best pizza I have eaten in years! It was awesome to see it being prepped and made fresh through the glass window. Thanks for an awesome dinner, I am truly pleased! I will definitely be back if I am in town! My only suggestion would be to offer beer flights! You have such great selection, why not serve...
