Carlos O'Bryan`s - Nanaimo

Had two appies. They make good dry garlic ribs A little pricey for the few you get but above average in taste so maybe worth it. Great service. Sat on balcony and envied the boats. Disappointed in getting a margarita in a regular hiball glass however. I rarely have a drink so want the whole experience so a personal feeling. Hubby had a beer. He was happy.

Take the halibut off your menu. I am embarrassed for you serving a sliver of dried up halibut, this really makes your establishment look bad. Your staff should be able to answer if one can tie up with their boat and come up for lunch, not very informed the staff considering they are on top of a Marina. The table beside us also talked amongst themselves of the awful hali....no but fish.

We dined on the patio; nice view of the yacht harbor and you could see the BC ferry coming and going (to Horseshoe Bay). Both of us thought the food was average; I ordered the quesadilla, my husband ordered the chicken tenders with waffle fries. The beer was cold, not a disaster of a meal, just not anything special. Free parking in the green coded parking spaces, which was more than adequate for the Saturday lunch crowd.

Food was very good, Pachos with anything, a big must. Need beer to get the best flavour. If your lucky enough to be there when the pretty girl with green eyes is working. It is intoxicating.

On a busy weekend we had a one sailing delay for the ferry and discovered this place which we did not know was there.Firstly the location and setting, by the Marina, is wonderful. There is both inside and deck seating and the views of the Departure Bay area and the boats in the marina are spectacular.Decor is modern Irish Sports Bar in decor. Staff were very friendly and it was not all that noisy (we were there at mid day).As noted by other reviewers, it is not a cheap place to eat but our food, the chowder special for me and the fish tacos for my wife were tasty, well presented and ample for lunch. We will definitely go back the next time we are waiting to catch the ferry.
