About 5 years ago, my husband and I had happened upon seahorses after an afternoon at Butchart Gardens. We loved it. So naturally when returning on a trip with my inlaws we were excited to go.

First, the menu online on their website is not the menu onsite. They no longer serve fish & chips.

The soup tasted like a canned chowder. The crab cakes are not made in house. Nor presumably the fish tacos. The prices were very expensive for what you got. The fish tacos pictured were $17 for three small tacos. The garlic bread with the chowder was nice.

We waited over an hour (bordering on 90 minutes) for our food. Only when I went to see what was going on was I told that they were down a cook and that they were working on our food..... almost 20 mins later our food came.

They did discount our food which while appreciated didn't make up for the abysmal experience. We won't be returning. Terrible. Terrible. Such a huge disappointment from our previous visit. Night and day.

So happy that we found this pub! Service was unbelievable. I wish I remembered the young lady's name whom helped us. She was phenomenal. Innis & Gunn on tap! The food was delicious. Only downside was the bathroom was downstairs. There may be one upstairs....I just didn't see it. Good value for your money.

Photos of a smoky day. This dog park is lovely. Fully fenced. Huge. Nice treed areas. People pick up after their dogs reasonably. Very nice.
