Blackfin Pub, Comox, B.C.

Last week, we travelled with Janey’s Got a Bus to see the Coastal Black Pumpkin park in Comox. WOW! This place is huge with millions of pumpkins set out differently. I will review the park on “Damn I Gotta Read This” site You should make the trip and then go into the Blackfin Pub for lunch.

There were 8 of us and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. Our server, Sarah is a wonderful asset to the restaurant for sure. I had something you wouldn’t think works but it does. I had the Mac and Cheese (made the old fashioned way) with elbow macaroni, wonderful sauce and now with shrimp and crab. These were whole shrimp minus the tails and crab pieces. OMGoodness was it ever delicious. Yup! I brought mine home as it was wonderfully large. Don wanted to share it as well.

Don ordered the Skirt Steak Sandwich and really liked it. No left overs here. He never orders a skirt steak but this was really tasty.

It is fun to take these jaunts and visit different restaurants. This is a really good one.

  1. You know when you haven’t been back to a restaurant you liked for quite awhile, you wonder is it the same. Well, the other day (Friday) I had my hair done and, as he always has for almost 30 years, Don took me out for dinner to show off my new ‘do’. He never fails this gesture and I very much appreciate it.
  2. I, of course, ordered my usual Hollywood Burger. I believe if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it and, along with my meal, a glass of wine.
  3. Don ordered the 6 oz, steak and Frites and said it was really good and he would ordered it again. High praise indeed because when it comes to steak, he is one critical diner. It comes from the fact that he is one awesome cook himself.

The one thing that brings us back here albeit not as often as I would like, is the great servers they have. Ellie (Eleanor) was the lady of choice this time and she is one awesome employee. Always checking but not overdone to see if we needed anything, how was our meal and she even had them change the on TV over our heads so we could watch the baseball game with the Blue Jays. Yea!

Good food, good service and better yet, always on top and always caring. The customers who come here are of the same plane, out for a good meal with good company and never the rowdy group. Love it and just love this restaurant.
