Lefty's Restaurant - Parksville

Had patio seats, and order to food delivery was 45 min . Would have ordered another beer or drink for sure if we could have found server. Food was average. Nothing amazing, nothing bad.

An after work stop to enjoy drinks on the patio and try out their new appies on the new menu! Poke Nachos are delicious!

Dinner choice here after a day of hitting the trails. Dark wood and black interior with excellent AC. Also has outdoor dining options. Seated quickly and personably. Though unfortunately, due to the apparent dinner rush, server attention and food appearance was slower than one would expect. Lack of staff maybe? Can’t speak to any of the craft beers or local wines on offer from this visit. After some exertion today we chose to eat light. DW chose the delicious sounding Cheap House Salad-mixed greens, cucumber, carrot, grape tomatoes, green onion, glazed pecans, and a Rocket Ranch dressing. Added proteins available but not chosen today. Salad looked amazing and all veggies were very fresh. The only drawback for her was the excessive amount of dressing. Better to order it on the side in our opinion. Unfortunately, even knowing the full menu description, I was disappointed in my lettuce wraps. I was wise to choose the spicy Szechuan sauce on the size after an informative discussion with our server. It was outside my comfort level most definitely. Wrap ingredients listed as crispy chicken, carrots, green onion, crunchy noodles, chopped peanuts, cilantro, and a sesame cucumber aioli. My vision for this was based on ordering it elsewhere and this version did not match. The chicken was more breading than meat, wasn’t mixed with the included veggies, had much too much in dry crunchy noodles, and a pile of raw cilantro dumped on top. At least the lettuce was nice and fresh and the aioli was very tasty. Only ate a small portion of this. I left disappointed, possibly much my own fault. Would try again when in the area.

Teenage girl at front was rude when we arrived, then walked away for 5 minutes then came to seat us. Waitress was friendly but after initially giving us our drink orders and taking our food orders, we didn’t see her for the wait until the food was ready (50 mins after ordering… To top it off an older woman that worked there was eating a plate of mac and cheese right over where the prepared food comes out to be served. Probably won’t return.

Had lunch here with family. I had the club house. Small thin sliced bread served with minimal amount of ingredients. The side salad (1/2 cup) was mostly sliced purple cabbage with a bit of mixed lettuce. Overall the taste was good of clubhouse, minimal ingredients and small portions offered for price. Service was friendly. Pleasant atmosphere.
