Sunset Lounge Dining Room - Gabriola

I stayed at the hotel for one night, and it was decent overall. However, the service—or lack thereof—in the pub was terrible. The first time we visited, we were completely ignored while the bartender socialized with his friends. Today, we were informed that the patio was closed, which I understand, but the staff's attitude was quite rude. It's unfortunate because this place is one of the few options available on the island.

Stunning views, fantastic food, and excellent service! This place was bustling, and our server was incredible, managing at least 30 other customers. As mentioned by others, the food does take a while to arrive, but it's definitely worth the wait. Service: 5 stars!

Sunsets, Whales and Music on the lawn. Stayed in room #3 Everything was perfect. Over the moon happy with everything Hidden gem. Def worth the trip I have traveled extensively and found this place to be one that will never be forgotten. So coming back next year. Service: 5

Wrong advertisement! When we were booking the place, it was showing we are renting a cabin. But, they put us in a room who is right beside the cooler room. Had to listen that loud noise for days. We could close the window but there wouldn’t be no air circulation in the room if we did that! My husband and our kid struggled to fall asleep with that noise. Lightning is sooooo poor. Beware..No outlets in the bathroom. And my husband wanted me to add especially this part.. “Sad to say but room wasn’t clean like they said. No one has long black hair in our family, plus there was other things sitting on the carpet and the bathroom floor. They were asking for a tip for poor room service. Food was okay.. the male server did an excellent job. Thanks to him we are giving 2 stars. Nice location.”

Karl, you are an exceptional server! You made our time at Surf Lodge Pub truly unforgettable! The halibut fish and chips were absolutely the best—cooked to perfection! I give a rating of 10+ for the service, food, atmosphere, and you! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much!
