I have to be honest when I was told we were heading out to Nanaimo for Sushi I wasn't exactly jumping up and down. I live in San Francisco where Sushi restaurants are a dime a dozen and even the little corner joints are pretty damn good. Well slap me…More »

Unless someone told you about this amazing English Pub you would never know it existed. It is off the beaten path down a nice stretch of road and eventually you end up in front of this flower filled English garden with a beautiful pond, flowers,…More »
