Locals Restaurant

“ After the third dining experience, I can confidently say this is the best restaurant I have ever been to in the comox Valley/ Courtney area. All three times, staff food and atmosphere were 5/5. My favorites are the seafood linguine scallops with crispy pork belly! Cesar salad is amazing, the lavender martini. Wow!! ”

“ We recently hosted a private event at this restaurant, and everything was absolutely top notch. From the moment we arrived, the staff made sure every detail was taken care of, and we felt truly looked after throughout the entire evening. The food was outstanding—beautifully presented, delicious, and clearly made with care. Every guest commented on how much they enjoyed themselves. The atmosphere was perfect for our celebration, and the team made it feel both special and seamless. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this restaurant for any private event or special occasion! ”

“ I have been here before for group events but as we were in the area tonight we decided to drop in for dinner. We are from Nanaimo so I wanted to take my wife to somewhere with great fresh food. Our waitress, Georgette was fantastic. She was so kind, informative, personable and patient. The option for local fun were great. The salad was fresh and had great presentation and superb flavour. The seafood chowder was not too think of cream. Just perfect, I especially loved the candied smoked salmon. The chicken pesto was top notch. You could tell that the chicken was free range and a quality dense piece of meat. My wife enjoyed the mocktail and I had a nice glass of red wine. We were full so we will have to try the dessert next time. Thank you for the nice little treat at the end it hit the spot. Easy to find. I knew the area so you have to plan how to enter into the hotel. Great parking. The Bartender was from Newfoundland (my home province) and she was very kind and show great hospitality. Bravo Locals! Until next time. ”

“ Excellent, excellent meal. We had Waldorf salad, bison short ribs, and salmon. coconut angel food cake. We wanted to lick the plate after each course. Nice atmosphere, good service. Beyond being delicious, great presentation on each dish. Next time I am back in Courtney will definitely be back. ”

“ I am a bit surprised by some of the reviews. We found the service to be attentive but not overbearing, just the right pacing for a delightful dining experience. We started with the clams, which were well prepared with a fennel sauce.. very enjoyable. My wife had a Cesar salad and scallops, both all one could ask for. I had the tenderloin (bacon wrapped) with potatoes and veggies. Could not have been better! We finished with the chocolate truffle cake which was delicious. Five star all the way!! ”

“ Maya was lovely! She was knowledgeable about the menu and made great suggestions. She was attentive and friendly but didn’t hover. The atmosphere was light and comfortable. The food was amazing. Highly recommend the west coast seafood pasta. We will definitely be back. ”

“ Such a pretty place! The outside area is so cute. Service was lovely, food was delicious and the dessert was PHENOMENAL. I had the Dark Chocolate and Salted Caramel Delice....i don’t think I got the name quite right, but it is now in my top 3 of all time favourite desserts. I would like to eat it all day everyday. That’s how good it was. 100000/10 recommend ”
