Coastal Cookery

Our server here was super nice and attentive. The restaurant has a small but nice balcony, or there is ac if you prefer inside seating.nnA group of us came during happy hour, which was actually a decent sized menu! The bellinis on happy hour were really good, and they also had a drink that consisted of gin, soda, and bellini slush.nnThe food was okay. I had the smash burger with half fries and half salad. I really liked the fries because they were super crispy and fresh, and the salad was tasty and healthy. But I thought that the burger was too salty, and I felt like it was missing something. Maybe adding something sweet like a bacon jam would have been perfect?nnMy friends had the cod burger. It was a decent sized portion but there was barely any tartar sauce, so we had to ask for a side of it and add it ourselves. The cod itself was good though!nnThe brussels sprouts were on happy hour and were nice and crispy but I think they had too much parmesan on top!

As someone who grew up in Powell River when dining options were few, and fine dining was almost nonexistent, it is nice to return home and visit good rooms like Coastal Cookery. Great views and a uniquely decorated restaurant. Service was great and dinner was excellent. I particularly liked the salad and the apple dessert.

Everything about our visit was fantastic—the food, the staff, and the atmosphere. I really enjoyed the ambiance and highly recommend trying a meal here while in Powell River.

Beautiful atmosphere and it seems popular with the locals. The food on the whole is average. My fish burger was decent but my friends had gnocci and it wasn't particularly good. Don't get me wrong - this doesn't mean it's not a good restaurant. Just slightly above average. I'm happy that the restaurant is doing well because Powell River deserves more restaurants!

My girlfriends and I went there last night. The food was great and with a good portion. We arrived there around 5:30, and there was no wait. By the time we were leaving, it was like a long line up there. I recommend you make reservations if you go for dinner. The servers were friendly there. We had a great experience last night.
