The Riptide Marine Pub catered our wedding in September 2017. Everything about our experience was absolutely amazing. Christine was such a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond. She is extremely knowledgable about everything wedding (not just limited to catering)! And the food... SO delicious! We received numerous compliments (and no complaints!) on how amazing the food was. All of the staff working that night were friendly, plates cleared quickly and the buffet was always stocked full. Honestly cannot say enough good things about the entire experience! HIGHLY recommend!!!! - Thank you all so much! xo
Was visiting the area and a local recommended Riptide to us. We went in expecting a regular pub - but it was more than that. Excellent atmosphere. It was loud - but in a friendly pub loud kind of way - lots of conversation going on, people having a good time loud. The food was excellent!!!! Prices were what you would expect, servings were good portions :-)
Great Pub Experience. It's really hard to argue with this place. The location is amazing, the atmosphere is great and the food was surprisingly good. I say surprisingly as this place has disappointment written all over it as a location more than a restaurant. Quite the contrary though, The food is locally sourced and prepared with care. The Fish and Chips were nearly perfect as were the appetizers. Not much else you can ask for from a pub.
Really enjoyable. Great service - excellent waitstaff. The food was good - Riptide Salad, Halibut and Tuna were all excellent. Reasonably priced - I disagree with Urban Spoon's rating of $$$. I had two martinis, appy, entree salad, and desert for $45.
I would go back for sure.
Food was great presentation was good and waitress was amazing too.
Good menu ranging from pub food to slightly fancier fare. Very good beer selection. Friendly service and reasonably priced. This is a good place to go for a casual meal.
Good food in a location with few options. We spent four nights in Campbell River and enjoyed Riptide the best. The beer selection is very good. The salmon sandwich was also tasty. I wouldn't recommend the calamari - not much calamari, a lot of breading.
Almost went to chain next door but stumbled into this gem instead. They're great! Open late on a Sunday. Nice service, cool indoor and outdoor spaces. My oyster burger and peppercorn penne were very good!
I enjoyed our visit here.
The ambiance was great. Though they did have some TVs playing sports, they weren't in your face like many other pubs. The place was packed when we got there, due to Xmas parties but it wasn't too loud.
The host was very accommodating. Because of the parties there wasn't any tables when we got there. After sitting at the bar, he brought us to a table that had opened up. By the time the rest of our group arrived he had a larger table ready for us.
The food was pretty good for pub food. They did have to bring my wife's nachos out 3 times due to kitchen mistakes. When she got it the way she ordered it, it was pretty good. They didn't charge us for them, so kudos.
Where they really stood out was the live entertainment. A jazz duo named Easy Street was playing. They were excellent and had a great repertoire from the 60s to today. We have already decided to go back next time they play.
I had an amazing experience. The service was great and quick. The atmosphere was casual and comfortable. The food...wow. We had the seafood linguini, the black and blue burger and the muscle and clam plate. The alfredo seafood linguini was spectacular, creamy and the perfect portion size. The black and blue burger was juicy and what a true canadian burger should be. If I lived in the community, I'd be back often.
Oh and the carmel Cheesecake. Get it.
The food was really good , good flavours , got caught up in a nice conversation with the person beside me so no pics but Jim the bartender was great too!
Service was good, food was good except my garlic toast tasted more like buttery bread. Garlic toast is pretty easy to make but perhaps it was a one off 🤔
My husband had the "black and blue" burger and it was tasty.
Sincerely,
Ms. Fancy
