One word sums up our "champagne brunch" this morning at The Pointe; disappointing. With a family of 5, we were seated at the back of the restaurant, away from the view and the tables reserved for 4. The service started out okay - pleasant server - and everyone had their coffees of juices quite quickly. The children's menu had a great selection and proved to be a hit. We ordered our brunch waited for it to arrive. After watching 2 other tables who were seated after us, receive their meals, the server brought us a stale biscuit with chocolate "from the chef because it was Sunday" - but more likely because we had waited nearly 45 minutes at this point for our breakfast.We kept being told it was about ready - but then another 10 minutes would pass by. At this point the children were getting very restless with hunger and boredom (only so much colouring and activity books would keep them occupied while waiting for food). Finally the kids breakfasts arrive and we got them sorted. The adult breakfasts arrived about 5 minutes later, so we didn't even eat together. The kids were wrapping up their meals as we finally dug into ours. The adults had The Pointe breakfast (2 eggs, sausage, toast, potato and some burritos - nothing extravagant which would have required more time than anything else to prepare). So an hour after sitting down, in a restaurant that was only about 20% full, our meals arrived. My eggs were luke warm at best, and the burritos were cold. The potatoes and sausage were both of decent temperature, but perhaps that was at the sacrifice of the rest of it. So finally after 1.5 hours, we got the bill and were able to escape after paying the $120 for a half eaten burrito, and some cold eggs. At least the kids were fed. For the reputation and praise this restaurant receives, we both were extremely disappointed with our experience. This was our 3rd visit to The Pointe, and likely our last. The view is nice (if you can see it from your table), but you can simply walk down to the beach or rocks and see it without wasting your time or calories dining here.

You must eat here once in your life if you enjoy food - well worth the trip and expense. I cannot possibly say enough about the fabulous Point Restaurant at The Wick Inn. I had the pleasure of visiting a number of tofino restaurants during my visit, but The Point Restaurant far surpassed them all (not to knock any of the other fine establishments of course). The food was local, fresh and most importantly, tasted fabulous! If you're ever unsure what to order, just close your eyes and point - you cannot go wrong. The service was that of a true professional. They were extremely friendly and accommodating making you feel like you were the only customer in the restaurant. The atmosphere is also phenomenal. Huge windows overlooking the ocean - perfect location for storm watching.
