Review Kalvas Restaurant - Parksville

Went here for the first time with my husband and mother-in-law. Hanna was our server and she gave us an exceptional service! We had some oyster, the steak special and some cheesecake. The steak I hope have the sauce on side so we can just dip the pudding in it. Aside from that, everything was great! Highly recommend to phone them to get the best sit in the house specially if you are celebrating a special occasion! Overall, we had great experience! :)

The BEST OYSTER ROCKEFELLER I've ever had ! Six of us in our party and we all left very happy ! I can't wait to go back and try more dishes !

Top quality food during our getaway. We ordered the Salmon and NY Striploin & Prawns for dinner. The Salmon was well cooked (moist!!) With the pilaf and creamed leeks being perfectly seasoned. Steak was done exactly as ordered with medium, and prawns were not overdone. Highly recommend, but also make sure to make a reservation as they're always busy and wait times can be long.

We had a really lovely romantic dinner at Kalvas! Excellent drinks, atmosphere and high end service and food! Traditional menu items done right in a very welcoming space with high end service!

Both the food and the service were excellent. When asked if we would like dessert I mentioned that maybe the birthday boy would. He ordered the cheesecake. The waitress brought it out with a lit candle! It was delicious. When we received our bill they had “compted” the dessert. This restaurant went above and beyond. I highly recommend them.

Awesome dinner last night, had the special rib eye and it was fantastic with a peppercorn sauce. Crab cakes and prawn cocktail were also great starters. My wife really enjoyed her salmon. The owner served us and you sure can see the difference from an employee to the care you get when the owner is on the floor dealing with customers. Top notch service and food will be back again and again! Thanks to David and Scott in the kitchen. Cheers

For a reservation only restaurant and each of our meals costing 45$ I was really expecting something spectacular. I found the food under seasoned and bland. Each meal had the same side dishes so I felt there was not a lot of variety or creativity. I found it very "old school" fancy, meaning that this may have been fine dining in the 90's but for that price tag I think they need to up their wow factor. The best thing out of both of our meals was the mashed potatoes and only one of us had that. The service was great and the atmosphere was amazing.

This restaurant is reservation only. Like many businesses they are short of staff so they ask patrons to be understanding of this. The restaurant was very busy so we had to wait a bit for our reservation. We got the last reservation of that day so it is understandable that when it came time to order they were out of the Friday special so I had the seafood platter. The halibut was so dry it was inedible. The salmon was cooked a bit better, but still too dry. The rice pilaf, prawns, and scallops were delicious. My partner had the steak which was yummy with a great sauce. We had the hazelnut creme brulé and Grand Marnie creme caramel for dessert. The creme caramel was hands down the best. Our waitress was lovely and personable. I would recommend this restaurant, but advise that you stay away from ordering any fish.
