What User doesn't like about Oyster Bay Cafe:
We came here because we wanted someplace we could eat out but not leave dog in boat in the heat. Went to restaurant for lunch and found it closed. Busy summer day and marina full. Why have a restaurant on the dock if it's not going to be open during the busy summer season? Very disappointed. View all feedback. What User likes about Oyster Bay Cafe:
The cafe is only open during the summer but it is well worth visiting. In addition to breakfast and lunch every day, there are many special events--music, dinners every other week. The young folks who work here are very nice and they make great items for for breakfast and lunch. Dining is available both inside and outside. A great place. View all feedback.

My lunch date and I had a wonderful lunch and super service! I'm coming back to try the Scallop Buternut Squash Salad ????

What a delight. Friendly staff. Great food. Excellent view. Vegan options. What a gem. We will come here every time we visit the island.

Beautiful day on the Marina dock. I had the 3 Cheese Grilled Cheese with Tomatoes and Grilled Onions. Fantastic! Best Grilled Cheese ever!

The Oyster Bay Cafe, located on the dock at the Ladysmith Community Marina, offers a breathtaking view of the marina and BC coast. While some reviews mentioned limited summer hours, the cafe serves excellent breakfast and lunch dishes with fresh ingredients made to order. Visitors have praised the friendly staff, funky decor, and a variety of events held at the cafe. Despite mixed reviews, those who have enjoyed their meals recommend making a reservation during busy summer months to fully savor the delicious food and pleasant atmosphere offered by this gem on the dock.
