So grateful to have three amazing restaurants in the Blind Bay Country market. Took some guests last week to Spinnaker’s and I had the crab cakes with pineapple salsa - very tasty and creative. Went back again today and had the special: hand made ricotta gnocchi with braised short rib meat, mushrooms and truffle oil. This dish was insane with flavour and the gnocchi were tender and flavourful. This dish is a winner, I hope it becomes a permanent menu item

I’m a local and have been frequenting spinnakers for many years. Even when it changed ownership the quality of food didn’t change, the service stayed consistent and amazing. The prices are amazing especially in this economy, the food portions are GENEROUS! Whether you’re just stopping in for coffee and a treat (which are delicious, try the carrot cake!) Or stopping for a meal, you will not be disappointed at all!! An extra big shoutout to Kim (and all the staff) for the amazing service they provide! We locals love spinnakers here!

Great place for breakfast! Always prompt and friendly service and coffee cup is continually filled! I love their poached eggs on a brioche bun with roasted tomatoes.

The best pancakes I ever had, it was delicious all the way. The French toast was also very good, but they weren't even close to the pancakes! Loved the place and the service, but I will definitely comeback for the pancakes!

What a great cafe! I stopped in here while I was in town for a few days. I liked it so much that I ended up having breakfast here every morning for the week I was there! The food was great, Cajun skillet was so good, such a big portion, really flavourful and absolutely delicious. And consistently good too, as I had ordered the same dish all week because it was so good. The atmosphere was great too, really friendly and cozy small town vibes. Always a full house full of smiles and everyone seemed so kind. The service was great too! Kim was my server every morning I was there and without skipping a beat, she had my coffee cup filled with a smile with some warm friendly banter, and after the second time there she had my order down and sent it back to the kitchen as soon as I got in. She was really friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. And she seemed to be running around the whole restaurant taking care of everyone equally with the same energy and kindness she did for me! Great spot, very clean, delicious food, fair prices, good vibes, amazing service. I only had breakfast but I heard the dinner is just as amazing. If you’re in town or passing through, I highly reccomend stopping in. Thanks for fueling me everyday! I’ll be back

Great local restaurant, fresh food, well prepared by the owners and lovely staff. I especially love their coffee! It’s strong and tasty, not weak and watery. A good wake up.

Good food and generous portions at a reasonable price. The Spinnaker Burger could feed two. It has a small outdoor seating area that is shaded at lunchtime. Easy access from Highway 1 and lots of parking.
