This is the best place to eat in Ucluelet. Sit at the bar to watch the chefs/cooks make their best fare! If the chef has his day off (which is what happened in our case) not to worry--you will not be disappointed in the friendly and efficient…More »

This is a tough one.

The rooms are beautiful. The staff are friendly and cooperative.

The cleaning staff does a wonderful job, which isn't too tough if you see the pristine fixtures with which they work.

BUT...

They recommended me to a hair salon before…More »

Who reviews BC Ferries? I mean, seriously?

Ok, I do. Once upon a time, I slung hot dogs on these babies, making a lot of money for a student, I might add. Probably more than I make now as an educated woman. Why? It's BC Ferries, baby!

The food has…More »

While the service was good, this was the worst burger, onion rings and milkshake of my entire life.

MacDonalds and White Spot are five stars compared to this. I am not kidding. The burger was worse than what I imagine I'd find at Costco; the onion…More »

Recently updated lists from J N.

Just a "Little" of Italy (29)

Or a "lotta" Italy, depending on what your mood might be. I added a few from my fave cities in case you happen to be traveling.

White Rock: A Little Piece of Paradise Close to Home (8)

And closer to cheap gas, too.

Starbucks (25)

We all check them out...admit it! But do we have our faves? Do we know which ones to avoid? Here's my list thus far.

For the Winers and Wineos (18)

The best selections of wines in town

Minutes in Maui (16)

Well, that's what it felt like. Here's the "quick list." TBC.

Casual Places to Perk up the Senses (38)

For a little bit of food and a little bit of drink. This list pretty much applies to every average night.

Fish no more! (17)

Where the sea meets the table from high end to low end.

Sogra. So-wha? That's right: the Granville-Broadway area. (22)

Not to be confused with Granville South--otherwise known as Marpole. A quick glance at my "stars" will tell you that this just might not be the hottest part of town!

Best Date Night Dinners in the City (26)

Some of the popular places to eat from dressy to casual; from the best to the no-brainers.

Anything but Starbucks.... (19)
