Schooner - Tofino

Food service and ambiance were Outstanding. We had been hiking all day and neglected to make a reservation, but they found seating for us at a cozy table for two upstairs. We always go in new restaurants ordering things we know we like-but our waiter was so great and made recommendations, so we decided to try something different. I had the halibut. I think it was the best meal I have ever had. I know a lot of times these things depend on hitting on the right night, but something tells me-it's always like this at the Schooner. We were on vacation and I really hope I get to return someday.

The surf and turf steak dinners were so good we ended up eating there our last 2 nights in town after eating at every top rated restaurant in Tofino.

We loved everything about Schooner's! We didn't have a reservation but they made us feel comfortable and found a lovely cosy seat for us. Very warm hospitality. Our server was so friendly and humorous. We loved him! We ordered: Appetizer: spicy prawns $19.50 Main: Seafood boil for two $82 Local beer $10 Total with tip (20% was about $137. Food was great! Loved the prawns the sauce was addicting! Their fresh warm baguette is everything you'd want with the sauce! The seafood boil was simple yet packed with flavours. It was light on the pallet, which we liked. We will definitely be back when visiting Tofino again! Thank you for such a great dining experience and for being fabulous!

74 years in business with the same family. The food is fantastic. The staff is friendly and efficient. It is best to make a reservation. This place is very popular for a reason.

Went for the first time since pre-Covid, and the place is still as good as ever. The downstairs was closed, with all dining upstairs. The upstairs is much more modern, plus offers a better view.
