Osborne Bay Pub — Restaurant in North Cowichan

Hello GOOGLE,

If you ever get over to Crofton BC, I highly recommend you check out the OSBORNE BAY PUB. It is amazing & worth way more than 5 ☆'s. The food is delicious, but what really makes it for me is the staff.

I'm from the mainland, but my family, Bev,Vern & and Lee, are weekly guests. They always sit in Liz's section. She knows them by name and their food & beverage order to a T. Liz is patient with my uncle, who sometimes requires a minute to confirm. Bravo, it is really nice to know their are people who care. This gives me the warm & and fuzzies. I bet we aren't the only family she remembers orders for.

On this visit, I went with my daughter (who also said Liz is a godess) and friend. This was a busy spot on Jazz Sunday. It's Fantasic Entertainment by talented performers. Get there well before 130pm if you want to get the best seat. We had the seafood chowder, pictured below. We loved it ❤️

I'm grateful the Osborne Bay Pub has Liz, and my family has a wonderful place to go that feels like home.

Thanks Again to all of the staff at the Osborne...

Never been to Crofton, but I'd searched up an eatery where I could bring the dog (60lb Saarloos). I discovered Osborne Bay Pub from Google, and wanted to give it a try. Went on a Sunday with a party of 4 plus one dog. Has great parking, nice patio where we could sit, and they'd very kindly provided a small bucket of water for the dog. Was happy to see there were a few other dogs there as well. Our service was nice and prompt, drinks arrived not too long after, and questions were answered confidently. We arrived during happy hour, where I chose the popcorn shrimp and fries. Was really good (shrimp tasted fresh, came with its own cocktail-style sauce), I was happy with the portions, and the drinks were good also. I would recommend trying this place in Crofton, it's a decently-sized pub as well.

Great place to try: quaint town, lovely water view, definitely a location to relax and unwind, especially if you want to...

We go here every now and then. My meal was very good but all of our waters had what I'm guessing was filter material, like sand in the bottom of our cups. Also we were with a couple of people with Celiac disease and even after telling the waitress and specifically ordering for that they still brought out gluten food for them which was instantly returned. Also tried to avoid garlic and discussed that with the waitress, ended up with garlicy sauce but at least it was on the side and avoidable. Was nice to sit by the window with a bit of an ocean view. It was hot and the AC was running but they left the door open to make it easier to bring food and drinks out to the patio so it was actually pretty hot inside and we were being bombarded with flies at our table. Not a great experience except my meal was tasty. If you have any type of food allergies just...
