We stayed a couple of days in an resort close to Port McNeill, so we tested the 3 supposedly best restaurants in town: The Archipelagos Bistro, the Northern Lights and the Sportsman's Steak and Pizza House. I take the liberty to write the identical review for all 3.
All three restaurants are alright, you don't do a mistake if you go there. Anyway, from our point of view there is a quite clear ranking:
#3 is Sportsman's Steak and Pizza. It's pretty good, the steaks are alright, a place to feel good and relax. Try the Mango Daiquiri :-) Nice views, too.

After waiting 30 minutes was again told another 20 minutes due to being busy. Finally got my pizza 110 minutes after placing the order - only 60 minutes late. No apologies or discounts. The restaurant only had 16 guests so being busy is not a valid excuse. There are other options in town for pizza so would highly suggest...
