Moby's Pub

Great food and exceptional service! My husband and I went for our anniversary and our server was kind enough to take a handful of pictures for us in several locations. She also had our dessert taken off the bill as an anniversary treat and was great at handling my gluten allergy. We will be making Moby's Pub a must visit every time we're on Salt Spring.

We were in Salt Spring for a couple of nights and picked this place for Thursday night for dinner. The vibe is nice, there was live music there and our server was nice. It was a bizarre encounter though. I let our server know that I have a gluten allergy. She said she would double check with the kitchen on what I order to make sure it was gluten free. I ordered the chicken bowl which was marked and the ingredients appeared to be gluten free. Our server came out and said the kitchen wanted to know if my allergy was a “death allergy”. Pardon?? They want to know if I will die if I eat gluten? I won’t die but I would be very sick. I’ve never ever been asked such a thing especially at a restaurant where chefs should be trained on food allergies. My chicken bowl was horrible. The chicken was shredded and mushy and the rice was in hard clumps. I showed the server but she just apologized and didn’t do anything. My entire meal was barely touched. My husband had a salmon burger. He really enjoyed it. He also had clam chowder but he said it was too thick so he barely touched it. We would not eat at Moby’s next time we are at Salt Spring.
