What User likes about Dinghy Dock Pub & Floating Restaurant:
The pub is on a floating pontoon on Protection Island looking back towards Nanaimo Harbor, fairly basic but inviting lunch menu, and a very good range of beers.With the sun shining and the boats going past a very nice place your be.The island is also worth a visit, to work some calories off!There is a pirate theme to all the roads, parks and beaches, you can get a free map before you leave the pub View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Dinghy Dock Pub & Floating Restaurant:
I thought it was expensive for what the portion sizes are. Extremely beautiful location & views. Fun setting to watch the boats and paddle surfers. When there are waits for the ferry, there really isn't anywhere to sit in the shade. I went once quite a few years ago when the cost of the ferry was taken off your meal bill. That is not the case now.What makes this place is the location. View all feedback.

The waitress made inappropriate jokes about my celiac disease, which made for an unpleasant experience.
