Beautiful atmosphere, friendly service, excellent food, and yummy drinks. We tried the Caesar flight, Shafts, and a few different beers on tap - all very tasty. Our girls enjoyed the beef dip and cheeseburger. Try the prawn tacos! So delicious!

Arrived at the restaurant at 4:30 for drinks & appetizers then dinner. Had a minor serve us drinks and the other had her breasts just about fall out when she bent over to serve us food. 1 of the dinners was fine but the second...persons meal was wrong 3 times. Baby back ribs were dried garlic ribs, sent it back. Second meal was seafood linguine which turned into Spicy prawn linguini, sent it back. Third meal was Seafood linguini in red sauce which ended up being seafood linguine in white sauce which was finally kept. finally got the meal at 6:00. She said they had a new cook. Had to go to the bar to ask for more drinks. Kind of a bad experience considering we were the only ones in the restaurant for over a hour. On a happy note the 1 meal was complimentary.More

Restaurant has recently changed hands and went from Passin' Thyme to Gordie's . Freshly revamped room with a new enthusiastic and committed crew . New menu with a few old favorites . The appy items and mains I've tried so far are competently made ,...quickly delivered to your table and reasonably priced . Stocking a variety of North Island craft beers , making it the best place to sink a few brews on the island .More

Went with local friends for dinner. As there are only a couple restaurants in this small town, it seems, I wasn't expecting too much. But our meals were all fantastic. Highly recommended.

We ate at Pass'n Thyme a few times during our trip to Alert Bay and each time the food was delicious. The staff was always friendly and accommodating and we had a great experience here!

Beautiful view with wonderful service. When asked if we had made a reservation we hadn't. They moved a table and made room. We had excellent Mussels and a Spinach salad (shared them).

Great view and the best restaurant in Alert Bay at the time we visited. Wendy (the owner) let us in from the rain despite being closed before dinner. So grateful. Our server, Isabella, was delightful.

This was the only restaurant open during our visit in March. The service was excellent, friendly and professional. We had lunch and dinner on day one which was very good. On day two we had dinner and it was excellent. The chef knows how to...cook a steak. The vegetables and baked potato were also well prepared. We chose the carrot cake for dessert and it was also excellent. We would definitely recommend this restaurant!More

We had a delicious family dinner. Safe social distancing. Food would rival anything from the big city. Chicken parmigiana and lamb shank specials. Service was quick and very friendly. Can’t wait to enjoy another meal here!

Our dining experience was marred by poor service and inconsistent food provided on the same special. For example, the Chef provided toasted garlic bread to the table next to us and no bread at all to us, even though both tables ordered the same special....The desert menu lacked most of the listed items, even though we ate before 6 pm on a Friday night. The waitress appeared disinterested and untrained in hospitality. The veal was inexplicably too dry for my taste. The bone marrow was very good, and the appetizers were good, but the portions were far too small. The special was overpriced by 40%, compared to the top prices of everything else on the menu. There should have been fresh fish on the menu, especially since this restaurant is on an island with huge amounts of fresh salmon that is caught daily in early September. This was a serious flaw. Quality food, prepared by a good chef, but marred by too many mistakes.More

This was one of only a few places open during the covid pandemic. The food and service were really good, social distancing and safety measures in effect, and the service was excellent. A million dollar view too!
