Fetch Review

Not only does this restaurant have an eye-popping view of the surging Pacific and trendsetting decor, but it also has Andrew Springett, former chef at the Wickaninnish Inn. He brings all his skills and magic to this stunning new restaurant. As much as possible, all ingredients are sourced locally, and that's good news, as the waters off Ucluelet are abundant with excellent quality fish and shellfish, and Vancouver Island has myriad small farms and ranches. Springett is a master at combining vibrant flavors and textures, such as parsnips and apples with crispy duck confit, and curried Dungeness crab with mango and fennel. Service is excellent, and every bite is a revelation. If you're in the mood for a drink and a snack, the lounge menu at Float will also provide great pleasure.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
