Being Celiac, dining out is always a challenge. The kitchen staff was kind enough to turn on a second fryer so that I could have French fries! They went over and above for such a simple meal.. I didn’t get a pic because I absolutely devoured those fries. The food was really good BUT the service was really great!!!!!

The restaurant seating is a large wooden platform covered by marquee tents. It's been quite cold for summer in Tofino lately, yet none of the patio heaters were in use. We came here because other reviews mentioned gluten free options, and on that aspect they did deliver. We ordered the "Beachside Bonanza" so we could try a few different items, and asked for the meal to be gluten and dairy free. When the food arrived, the server plunked down the tray without telling us what was on the platter. Considering we could have 10 possible meat options this was a bit odd. When prompted the server pointed out the different types of meat, and a pool of sour cream on the platter that was definitely not dairy free. The meats were cold and the fat was beginning to cloy. The bbq sauce was very sugary, all tomato and no depth. The beans overly sweet and the coleslaw way too much vinegar. We had the brisket, pulled pork, and smoked turkey. The turkey was dry and the slices were too thick. It was disappointing all around. When I was paying the bill, the server took away my cutlery that I was using to put the leftovers into a take away bin, it was very awkward. At over $100 for two people for dinner, this place was absolutely not worth it. Maybe go have a drink if you like love music.
This cozy spot offers a warm, inviting atmosphere with Adirondack chairs and fire pits, creating a perfect setting for relaxation. The great vibe and seating area enhance the experience, complemented by quick, friendly service that makes it a welcoming choice for gluten-free diners.
