Review Scallywags Eatery - Vancouver Island

great service n good food n gotta love sitting poolside

I was very surprised with this restaurant in our hotel as I'm usually not wowed by hotel food. It's normally always lacking in some way, similar to hospital & airline food *bleh* Not the case at this place. Tried the eggs benedict the morning after checking in. They were quite good. The eggs were perfectly cooked as requested - medium - which is rare. Not 100% sure if the hollandaise is freshly made, but it was decent. I would've preferred the ham to be browned before serving. I also had possibly the best Reuben sandwich I've ever tasted, anywhere. Perfectly grilled, served hot & melty, loaded with pastrami & cheese, served with a thick slice of dill pickle & a choice of side. I opted for the super fresh side salad. Not a brown, wilted piece of greens in the entire bowl, sweet, firm cherry tomatoes, really good. Try their honey lime vinaigrette if ordering salad. One of their servers recommended it. It's incredible, really. All servers I've spoken to also seem quite good. I especially liked the British woman who served me in the afternoon. She made great recommendations, which led to me having an incredibly satisfying meal. Cleaned my plate. Was very happy after this meal. Will be eating here again 👍 My only complaints are that they don't have room service (takeout is available) and their dinner menu isn't available past 9PM, I believe it is. Only appetizers in the lounge after that time. Disappointing when you'd love to have a late night snack. It would be nice if they had some pub-style entrees available later in the evenings til midnight, especially Friday-Sunday. Overall, very happy with this restaurant.

An unexpected surprise that you wouldn't walk into unless you were staying at the hotel or knew otherwise. The food was very tasty and thoroughly enjoyable down to the last bite. The service was also efficient and friendly. I would definitely eat here again

This is our "go to" place whenever we want a casual lunch or a substantial breakfast. There are new owners who took the place over from the venerable Kitty's Cafe and although I do miss Kitty they seem to have found their feet after a shaky start and are now turning out well prepared and very tasty meals. My only criticism is that it would be nice to have a choice of breakfast or lunch, but they don't overlap.

The staff are friendly and the breakfast special is good.

Friendly place. I drank some red wine and got tipsy. The halibut was nice and had a crispy outside. It was just a small portion.

We arrived with a party of 12. Service was friendly and quick. The food was delicious!

Awesome food and great service. Great prices and good value.

Good place to eat but little bit pricey. Great service Judy is the best

Wow. This is a hidden gem....really good food and staff are amazing. Try the Scallywags salad...so good😆

Slow roasted short ribs best ever! Crisp salad with homemade dressing was delicious. Big bowl of fresh fruit substituted for potatoes at breakfast. Great service. Highly recommend it.

What a cute place overlooking the pool. I had a fantastic lunch here and would highly recommend it! We look forward to hosting Paint Nite events with you :)

Great food and desserts! Lovely owner served us and I like that so much is handmade in house and locally sourced/seasonal. Would definitely recommend and will be going back

We spent 3 days at the hotel & ate our breakfast & dinner there each day. Awesome food & service - highly recommend the hotel & restaurant!
