Great location, great food and friendly staff!!! The shrimp avacado benny is soooooo yummy!! Tammy was very attentive and so friendly!!! Thanks for a wonderful experience! Don't just drive by, stop in... you won't regret it! 🤗

This little place served the best breakfast ...it was perfectI will go back...can't wait to taste lunchService was awesome too. The art is very nice as well.

Went in for breakfast. Portions are very small but it was ok food. Never got offered more coffee so I feel like we shouldn't have been charged ($2.75) for the 1 cup we had. Part of my order was forgot and the waitress, who we also paid with, didn't take it off the bill (she did when I mentioned it). She also helped people who came in after us, who seemed like regulars, and put their order in first. Cute atmosphere and nice view though.

One of our favourite stops on our way up island. We detour to grab a bite at this cute cafe with great, fast service and delicious food. We've been taking our kids there for years and it's always easy. Highly recommend

Thoroughly enjoy the dinner and breakfast at the Sandbar. Service was excellent and staff were very friendly. We shared a breakfast as the servings were large! We will definitely return to eat there.

STOOPPP here!!!! Wonderful meal

Every summer i go cycling tour on the island and that is where I have lunch and beer. Great location and quality food with generous amount. Thank you Grace and Ryan.

Great homade korean fusion food and drinks

Food was good. Staff was friendly and helpful and the art was enjoyed by our crowd.

Dinner was excellent!! A great hone cooked tasting meal!! Service wasexcellent as well!

Clean quiet reasonably priced!Good food and good service!Quaint!!

Friendly enough, and busy. When a potential customer asked about takeout, they weren't shy about pointing them elsewhere to a more appropriate place. The kitchen knows what it does best :)

I was so impressed with the care and thoughtfulness that the staff have put in place on COVD reopening. Good work all of you and great food.

Very good food. And atmosphere.

I love this little place. No the portions are not huge, as some others have said. But the food is good. Old fashioned BLT sandwiches and burgers and other stuff. Reasonable prices. Really nice location and atmosphere. Always nice people serving.

A cozy little spot with some nice views and great artwork. I particularly enjoy the various seafood burgers.

Great paintings, great pancakes, could use an additional waitress.

Needed a place to warm up from a cold ride. Friendly, I inviting atmosphere... Local musicians playing some bluegrass... I'll definitely be back.

the food was so yummm fresh coffee ,nice artwork affordable

I was disappointed. My one piece fish and chips were good, but pretty sparse on the fish. The batter on the fish was good, but too bad there was a lot more batter than fish.My husband enjoyed his burger.A little over priced for my liking.

The best lunch we had for a long time. We had the club house on multi,ceased salad and the Nile creek burger.

Awesome food and live music on the deck. Best coconut shrimp I ever have!!!

Delicious Food, Nice Vibe and Amazing People

Service is slower than Molasses in January. Food is great, but waiting 25 minutes and still not being acknowledged or having a drink order taken in a mostly empty restaurant is unacceptable. Especially when attempts to gain the servers attention after 20 minutes are met with curt and snappy responses. Our group was so unimpressed we walked out and went elsewhere, something I don’t believe I have EVER done before. It has been the same the last couple times I have eaten here. I like supporting local businesses but never again.

Great food. Nice deck out back. Entertainment on weekends. Worth the stop to have a bite

Great meal and fun live music. We really enjoyed our time there.

Always enjoy the Sandbar. We sat out on the back deck and had a shared Club and a Burger. Staff are friendly and quick.

Great place to eat..friendly staff..good food..beautiful neighborhood

Gorgeous view of the ocean, a small cruise ship passed by as we ate our dinner on the outside patio. The 2 piece fish and chip dinner was a generous size with a nice fresh little plate of slaw and a pickle.

Incredible value for the money

Small portions. Eggs were ok but potatoes large and undercooked.Coffee was old and wasn't offered a refill till meal was done. Cute place but food definitely needs an upgrade.The other stuff on the menu looked better but we wont be returning to try it.

We enjoy our Team Meetings here every 2 weeks. The food is always great and the service feels personal. We feel cozy and relaxed. There is so much eye candy like the ocean views and all the art. Bring a crowd or enjoy some phone time.

Quaint and comfortable seaside cafe. Delicious chowder. Popular with locals.Note: this site has it listed as a coffee shop but it is not.

Quaint and cute... pretty good food too!

Artsy surroundings, decent food, at reasonable prices. An assortment of eggs benedict. At least as good as home made, likely better.

Lovely little cafe on Highway 19 A( the old Island highway).Home style cooking with warm, friendly staff and great art hanging on the walls.

Wonderful homemade food,fish&chips and very friendly and efficient service!

Cosy and staff is friendly. Local gathering placer with live music at times. Sponsors local artists.

Great food and great art in a quaint location. Definitely worth the drive from Nanaimo.

Great wait staff and atmosphere. Fantastic food. Fresh and delicious

Love this little cafe

Amazing place....everything is made from scratch and their entire menus is excellent...service is great and the atmosphere is excellent...especially with all the attractive art for sale on the wall. Their tarta sauce is good and their balsamic house dressing is even better...you can taste the quality of their food

Nice little place near the beach.

Wonderful service! And a beautiful view from the patio!

I passed by this restaurant by most my life. My Sister took me here for lunch with her friend. What a amazing surprise . The menu is an eye opener ineeded. So coming back. Food is bang on, you will not be disappointed!!.

We had a lovely meal here. Excellent French fries and service. Will definitely return!
