Kalvas The Log House - Parksville

We've visited this restaurant twice, and after our first experience, we began recommending it to anyone passing through for a steak dinner. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the mashed potatoes are among the best we've ever tasted. The flavors complement each other beautifully, and the portion sizes are generous. Now, we make it a priority to stop here whenever we're in Parksville. Thank you once again!

During my last visit, the potatoes I received were lukewarm, and the meat was quite chewy and undercooked, as I had requested it medium. I later learned that the owner was cooking that night, which was unexpected. On the bright side, the service was excellent; the owner's son attended to us, and he was fantastic. It seemed like they were just having an off night. They did bring me a fresh order of hot potatoes, but the steak has been disappointing during my last few visits.

We had an amazing anniversary dinner! The steak was the best I've had in quite some time, and the beet salad was fantastic. Everyone in our party was thrilled with their meals. The service was exceptional, including the young man who served our dishes—he was very professional and courteous. The restaurant was quite busy for a weekday, so I highly recommend making a reservation.

Had my father‘s 90th birthday there last night in Kalvas went over and above our waiters were excellent. The food was delicious for 18 of us. It was excellent even with all of us are wait for food wasn’t very long. Thank you Kalvas for the great job. My dad was very happy.

Prime rib dinner was to die for! Brie chicken was amazing! Appies were yummy! Service was beyond extreme. Atmosphere was very comfortable. Totally a great experience……..until we paid by visa and didn’t leave a tip. (We tip in cash) when the waiter sees the visa transaction he asks wheres the tip!!?‍ totally turned me off and offended me. Tipped him $20 for our dinner regardless ?‍just saying we are local?
