Service is amazing. Great beer, coconut onion rings are out of this world! Outside seating is covered and protected from the high winds of the water. No wifi so kids must talk to parents!! Great atmosphere!
Worth the drive. From Parksville to Port for our 2nd meal at the Starboard Grill. We were not disappointed. The ambience is perfect - comfortable, tastefully decorated, clean. The view spectacular. Our server - Pauline - was friendly and efficient. Chef Brad followed through with a spectacular meal. Everything is freshly prepared. We cannot wait to make the trek over the hump to again enjoy some very inticing items from the menu. We were there for lunch - which included the most wonderful tomato spinach soup with a creative and version of the toasted western on marble rye toast - delicious. I ended my meal with egg nog cake. My husband had pumpkin brulee and loved it. Very rare to find housemade deserts and these were wonderful.
Very nice dining experience had the pecan pesto chicken and prawns was excellent and was presented nicely
Nice surprise!. Past through Port Alberni on the way home from Tofino. Randomly walked into the Starboard Grill. Great spot, great food, great service. Our group of four all really enjoyed our food. We had nice crispy fish and chips, burgers with beautiful fresh local marbled buns, and an excellent house-made smoked salmon chowder. Can't wait to swing through again. Keep it up!!
In terms of atmosphere and service Starboard is excellent. The waitresses are attentive, quick and friendly. Nice waterfront view and clean dining area.
In terms of food I ordered the chicken hotpot. Wish I ordered something else. Although it didn't taste bad it wasn't very impressive or flavorful or spicy.
Maybe their specialities are their burgers? Perhaps I can give it another try.
Delicious! I ordered the special 1/2 Ukrainian feast which came with 3 perogies, onions, bacon, sausage, and a traditional style cabbage roll. It was super tasty. My boyfriend got two ling cod pieces with fries. And as I couldn’t help but taste his meal, I can confirm it was also really tasty.
Had a great time on their patio on a sunny afternoon! Service was fast and friendly, we had a perfect view of the water, and the food was delicious. I got the prawns and coconut onion rings (which came with a delicious curry dip). Husband got the soft taco wrap and he was surprised by how filling it was. Everything was delicious. Have been before, and will definitely be back.
I ordered Chicken and Prawn Ramen Bowl and it was so good. If I visit Port Alberni again, I would dine in at the same restaurant without a second thought. I've never been so impressed by the services offered by the restaurant. Very pleasing and friendly staff, had an extremely good meal worth the price. Thank you!
I highly recommend visiting the restaurant.
The food was ok, but the views view and the staff was outstanding. The patio as a great spot to hide out from the wind and have a great meal.
Best poutine I've had! I got the bacon cheeseburger poutine and it blew my mind. They have other types of specialty poutine and a lot of other great meal options! There is glass out on the patio so you can enjoy the meal and views and be protected from the wind. We were there on a very windy day and it was gorgeous and comfortable. Compliments to the mad scientist chef for his brilliant poutine creations!!!
Came here on a whim when I saw the candied salmon chowder on the menu, and I’m so glad I did. Food, service, atmosphere and the view are all incredible.
Best poutine I've ever had and very friendly staff. Good prices for home cooked food.
Shepards pie poutine 👌🏻 dammmmm good!
