We were on vacation in the Comox area, and enjoyed a delicious brunch at Tidal Café. We were travelling with our dogs, and pleased to learn that Tidal Café has a dog-friendly patio. It was very busy when we arrived (positive sign), so we added our names to the list, and came back and were seated at a lovely table on the patio.
One of the staff (owner or manager?) came over and asked if it was OK if she brought a piece of bacon out for our dogs. It was of with us, and the dogs loved it. So not only was this place dog-friendly, but they actually welcomed dogs to their patio. Our brunch was great. We each had a different eggs benny dish, and we both really enjoyed it. It's a cute spot, and I really liked the cute sayings on the boards and around the inside.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere overlooking Comox harbour, mountains and the Oceanside.
Bennies are special!
Highly recommend!

I visited this restaurant with a party of two and we were pleasantly surprised by the experience. The staff was very accommodating and understanding of our allergies, taking our order promptly. The water and coffee arrived within a reasonable time frame, and the Americano I ordered was served without delay.
The mimosa I ordered came shortly after, and the food arrived at a timely 10:27 (about 30 minutes after ordering). Throughout our meal, the staff checked up on us and provided punctual service.
The Chipotle Bennie with potato hash that I ordered was absolutely delicious. The eggs on the Bennie were cooked to perfection, with no runny whites, and the hollandaise sauce had a delightful combination of richness and citrus. The portion sizes were generous, offering great value for the price. The Mimosa flights were a unique and tasty option.
The restaurant had a clean and well-maintained environment, with both the bathrooms and tables being spotless. The service was exceptional, with many servers taking care of the tables and sharing responsibilities efficiently. Despite the small interior, the music and noise level were just right, allowing for comfortable conversations without straining to hear.
The restaurant's central location provided us with plenty of options for places to visit afterward. I do have a minor suggestion for improvement—the cheesy potato dish could benefit from a bit more sauce to enhance the flavor in the middle.
On a positive note, they offer a separate kids menu with decent portions at half the price. Overall, our experience was excellent, and I highly recommend this restaurant.

The food is very good had the salmon benny which was very fresh and tasty could do with a better portion of salmon nice plating. My wife had the avocado toast which she said was really good . It was the first time at this restaurant we will be back hope the kitchen is a little faster than our first visit. The staff are very nice and helpful.
The second visit was great had Montreal smoked meat hash my wife had frittata both were really good. They seem to have a good consistency in the quality of the food they put out.
We keep coming back for more great food. The food is very consistent and the plating is very pleasing to the eye. The restaurant has a comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff.
