It had been many years since setting foot in the Beach Club Resort in PARKSVILLE. Once there for dinner and once for brunch on the beachside patio. Recently we wanted to meet brother in law, Murray for Sunday brunch so he and Jackson could catch up. Why not try the Beach Club and discover if it’s a good spot. 

We arrived at 1130 and were seated promptly at a table for 4 with a bit of a beach view. It’s really quite a nice room, nicely appointed. We were keen. Unfortunately the breakfast /brunch service shuts down at 11:00. Don’t most hotels run Sunday brunch until 1 or 2? Not this one! Rather disappointing.  

However the lunch menu looked promising. Sheila chose a Caesar Salad.  Murray selected the Seafood Chowder, Jackson the Mac & Cheese and for me the Beef Dip.

Our server was charming and efficient and the food arrived quickly. The chowder looked really good and was, as was the Mac & Cheese. Not so the salad.  A poor excuse for a Caesar Salad actually. I had a side of it with my sandwich. The Beef Dip was OK but not as good as my favourite at the CROW & GATE PUB. 

We all expected better from this restaurant and were particularly miffed at the brunch unavailability. 

You might want to try the Beach Club but for now we will give it a pass. Maybe try it for breakfast outside this summer.

Just saying…
