The food was genuinely awful – I can honestly say Denny’s has more flavour than what was served here. We also tried a Belgian waffle, which was extremely difficult to eat – rough in texture and tasted very stale. To make matters worse, the menu does not list all ingredients, which became a serious food safety issue when allergenic ingredients showed up in dishes without warning.
Service was painfully slow. We had a reservation and were the only party in the restaurant, yet it took about 15 minutes to order drinks, 40 minutes to place our food order, and nearly an hour for mains to arrive. That level of delay is unacceptable under any circumstances. My husband’s salmon benny arrived last and completely cold – the entire dish, salmon, eggs, potatoes, and all – and the salmon itself clearly wasn’t fresh.
I understand higher prices in a place like White Rock, but the pricing here does not reflect quality or taste. It feels like an outright ripoff. Even the fries weren’t fresh – people at our table were comparing them to McDonald’s fries.
Service was also a major issue. One server was rude, dismissive, and clearly irritated to be working. Simple requests like water refills were brushed off or redirected to other staff. In contrast, Natasha (tall, thin server) was absolutely lovely and went above and beyond — she was the only bright spot. The other server’s attitude was openly hostile and made the experience uncomfortable.
When it came time to leave, I asked for a box for my leftovers. It never came. I politely reminded them multiple times, but my party had to move on. I was forced to abandon my mediocre, overpriced fries and carry my sandwich out in a napkin.
I also noticed that management does not respond to reviews – good or bad – which makes it clear they don’t care about customer experience or accountability. So I’m writing this for other diners: avoid this place. I regularly dine at places like Cactus Club and higher-end restaurants, and there is absolutely no justification for what Five charges versus what it delivers.
We will never return.
The service was the best I’ve experienced in White Rock, and the food was absolutely delicious. As a vegetarian, I was especially impressed by the amount of flavour in the linguine.
Thank you again, Zena, for making our evening so memorable!
Clowder pic from Dad’s meal.
The dishes are well presented and tasty. The local oysters were plump and delicious. The prices are high, but it is a tourist area. My Uncle had only good things to say about the fresh lobster and crab.
Our first visit, a 5 star. We MIGHT return ?
This was my first visit here and we enjoyed our meals!
Unfortunately out of oysters and only 1 crab left when we wanted 2.
Our server was nice but didn’t really come around enough times, and we ended up having to flag down a co-worker of hers to signal her to bring us the bill.
I will say that my halibut was overcooked but she made it right by bringing out another piece that was cooked to perfection so points to her for that.
We will definitely dine here again and try some other dishes!
