We shared an amazing scallop appetizer, then she had the special, a mouth-watering surf & turf, while I had the amazing sable fish. Definitely a meal to remember. The best of Campbell River.

We celebrated our 42nd Anniversary with dinner at Anglers. We were looked after from start to finish. Mussels and fries as a shared appetizer. Halibut special and seafood linguine for mains and delicious desserts. Wonderful way to celebrate.

Wow! Our fourth visit over three years and it’s consistently awesome. Last November we brought Ottawa foody friends who were blown away. This year we stayed in Campbell River just to eat at Anglers. It did not disappoint. I had the beef tenderloin and hubby had the seafood linguini. They were cooked perfectly and there was a ton of great seafood. I took photos ( alas after we took a few bites) as it was all so tasty. Our attentive server was so accommodating as I am a bit picky on vegetables. We also had a lovely green salad with poached pear. Wine, beer and tea were all good. This restaurant is good value given the quality and quantity of good food. We can’t wait for our next visit.

Absolutely delicious food. Nothing to complain about, their seafood linguine is nice and light with a good amount of seafood. The tuna special was so fresh and just the right balance of spice & sweetness

We keep coming back and we just know the food is going to be good. You must try this restaurant is you're in the area! You can tell the chef is passionate about what he creates. The dinner menu changes depending on what's in season. We get to try something new and exciting everytime.

This place is NOT FRANGRANCE FREE. The worst part is because this place is so small they can’t ventilate and the smell just stays there. For my experience, when we first came, this place smelled amazing. It smelled like citrus. I think they are using citrusy smelling cleaning solution for the table. HOWEVER, when a person who used a strong perfume entered, I felt like I was gonna vomit because I was eating. And because it’s such a small place, the smell can’t escape. When we were leaving the restaurant, the whole place smelled like that person’s perfume. Atmosphere(5/5)- It looks really cute and cozy with a nice ocean view. Service(1/5)- When we were entering the restaurant, no one welcomed us. They were just looking at us, so I had to initiate the conversation. Our server was the lady who was wearing a thick glasses and had a pony tail (Apr,20th at 5:30pm). She kept showing her attitude each time she came to our table. I’ve never had a server who says “okay” with an attitude, when I asked for the bill AT A FINE DINING PLACE. She is not meant for customer service jobs at a fine dining place. I would rather bring my food from the kitchen than to have to see her attitude. Food(1/5)- We ordered oyster and steak and potato. I was expecting a lot because this place is fine dining. However, the oyster just tasted like fried oyster from sushi takeout. Especially, the sauce they used for oyster just tasted like takeout sushi quality. Steak and potato was okay, but not outstanding.

My partner and I have eaten at an influx of high end restaurants across the globe. This was BY far our favourite. The food was incredible, the waitress was extremely personable and professional and the log building itself was stunning. We will absolutely be coming back to Campbell river and staying here just to enjoy this restaurant again.

Beautiful rustic lodge feel with an ocean view. Food was average. Portions are small and nothing exciting or unique for such a Beautiful venue. The brie and apple stuffed French toast was legendary and they got rid of it for an oat crusted French toast that sounds good but is very difficult to eat. Dry and chunky and kind of an odd choice.

This was the one of the best places in town, and every time I come to Campbell River I dine here. I even skip lunch so I can enjoy every bite and order multiple items. My first bad experience, Scallop Appetizer bland zero flavor, Mussels and Scallops Appetizer bland no flavor. Mushroom Wellington the mushrooms and nuts was bland and the puff pastry was inedible as it was mushy and not cooked. I ate the vegies and the inside of one of the wellingtons couldnt eat the other. Seafood Linguini my wife had and it was the only item that was ok. In parting they gave us a desert as an apology but it too was undercooked and hadnt even set so we couldnt eat it either. We found out later as we were leaving that the normal chef has left the Sous Chef is away on personal matters. Feel bad for whoever is filling in and the staff there were pleasant just the food is no longer any good. Very disappointing as we have been there over a dozen times and normally want to lick the plates clean. Unfortunately we will have to find a new place to go. Looks like the have acknowledged their mistake and have given us a voucher to return, a step in the right direction so changing my rating if the meal is as good as it was when we used to go I will change the rating again.

Service atmosphere and view spectacular. My pork ( special of the night) was thin cut, dry and inedible. The vegetable sides were excellent. The 3 other main courses were average. When I told staff ( not our server) about the pork he thanked me for my input.

By far an exquisite high quality restaurant for anyone looking to fine dine! The restaurant is located in a cozy resort with gravel parking lot on the main road at entrance. Visited in summer 2021. The ambiance is nice, cozy with trees, nature around and a beautiful view. The food was very high quality!!! Appetizer: Prawn Stack was amazing, fresh and a good starter; Entrees: the Tuscan Chicken (crispy thin layer of skin with moist meat) and Salmon Mignon (moist and delicate) were perfectly seasoned, flavoured and moist. Risotto was creamy and cooked perfectly! Chocolate Delice was delicious, although a little rich for our tasting but wonderful! We truly enjoyed the customer service as our waiter was kind and always checked on us throughout the whole experience! For anyone looking for a fine dine restaurant, dont let the location fool you, their menu and service is full value, you really get what you pay for!! Looking forward to coming again!

First time dining experience a few days ago on the outdoor patio. It was a relaxing dining experience with friendly and efficient service. Decent water views off a sheltered patio. Good Seafood selection and the Ling Cod meal was a generous portion and delicious. Would definitely go again. FYI, park on the road labled visitor parking if youre just dining.

Absolutely fabulous meals. Attended a wedding at Dolphins Resort (also great) and had a dinner in the private room (seats up to 18 comfortably) and 3 breakfasts as well as had them cater the pre wedding bbq and wedding reception. Did not have anything to improve on, the food was fantastic all weekend....so much so that we chose not to leave the resort. The hours are not fantastic though, breakfast 8 to 11am (noon on weekends) and then dinner 5 to 8pm. If youre just staying on the resort, youll need to figure out lunch or if youre going to go on a morning fishin trip (8am) then breakfast will have to be cooked in your cabin. It worked out ok for us as we went into town and got some groceries but it could be an issue for lunch if youre just relying on the resort restaurant. But, cant really complain as it worked out fine for us and we were very happy with literally every meal for 4 days.

This was THE best dining experience I ve ever had. Everything we had was absolutely exquisite and presented beautifully. The wine was amazing, and everything was a great price. We were a party of five, had three appetizers, two soups, two bottles of wine, five entrees and two desserts for $60 a head. Not bad at all. Will definitely come back every time we re on the island. Thank you everyone for a wonderful evening.

December 21, 2018

Very disappointing meal recently. Hard to credit any of the better reviews on this site. We were a party of 7 and were all deeply disappointed with the caliber of the food and especially with the preparation. Risotto was tasteless and insulting with barely cooked frozen vegetables. Halibut was rubbery, overcooked and bland topped with carrot peelings. Pasta was globulous and again...tasteless. And the ultimate insult, the food was vastly overpriced. Apart from that, our server was cheery and apparently oblivious. Avoid this restaurant.

My wife and I live in what we believe to be one of the best foodie places in the world. When we visited Campbell River for a few days on our honeymoon our expectations for food were pretty low being farther away from major cities and known foodie spots. Breakfast here was ok with the salmon eggs Benedict and chicken potato pesto bowl which met our expectations. We came back that evening to try the dinner just to see since the locals suggested it was good. The Seafood Linguini and Shrimp Ravioli paired with wine recommendations (Gamay and Rose wine) were without doubt one of the most delicious meals I have ever consumed. Thankfully the portions were just right otherwise I may have eaten this delicious meal till I keeled over. Thank you for giving my wife and I an incredible food experience we will remember for a long time.
