As you arrive, check out the mile-high pie and goodies at the bakery store. This reminds you to save some room for desert.
The restaurant is divided into a pub upstairs and a nice, casual restaurant downstairs. Both serve from the same excellent kitchen, and of course serve the same beers - brewed on site.
The menu is varied - you'll find something to love, from pub food (burgers, excellent fish and chips, curry, ribs ) to west coast favorites like salmon, and queen charlotte island halibut.
We arrived recently on a very busy night - the staff was very helpful, and squeezed us in without a problem - and advised us to order quickly since a few large tables were about to order. Our food was terrific - the queen charlotte island halibut was perfectly cooked - with a Mediterranean flair - featuring nice olives. We would have ordered the buffalo short ribs - but they weren't ready yet - we'd have had to wait a half hour for 'em. The fish and chips were great, as was the salmon. They have a nice selection of wines, and of course their beer (brewed in-house) is fantastic. They have a nice range of beers from India Pale Ales to a nice dark stout.
The washrooms are small, but clean and friendly.
The restaurant is across the harbour from downtown. You could take a water taxi, then walk for 5-10 minutes to get there along the path that follows the water's edge. This path carries on past the restaurant, and along the harbour - one of the nicest walks in Victoria.
