Hidden gems for fine cuisine and at a very reasonable price. The view is amazing. Just make reservation as seating is limited.

We thoroughly enjoyed a delicious meal of herb bread, seafood chowder, amuse bouche, sturgeon and dessert to celebrate with friends. The service, food presentation and price were all excellent. We recommend the Discovery Room for fine dining at a very affordable price.

A good way to get some wonderful food. It's a learning kitchen/dining room so a bit of patience is required. But honestly a great meal for a great price.

The Discovery Room is a learning lab for Vancouver Island University's culinary arts and hospitality management programs. Full disclosure - I am an employee of VIU. That said, the DR is very much worth a visit. Good food, good service, nice atmosphere, and a great view.

Our 2nd visit with another couple was equally rewarding. These guys do an excellent job preparing high quality meals with great service. Keep up the great work!First time here with friends. Absolutely fantastic meal, extremely well prepared. Super friendly students did a great job serving as well as preparing the food. Keep it up, will definitely return!

I don't know where to start. Firstly, the ambiance is unbelievable. It's essentially eating in a two story home resembling San Francisco's Painted Ladies".The service is unmatched. Our server was extremely knowledgeable speaking to each dish individually.We ordered the fettuccini. Do not leave this restaurant without trying it. Everything was perfect! Highly highly recommend."

Brilliantly prepared food. The presentation, texture and taste were all wonderful. Wine list is VERY fairly priced and there are most grape varieties. Student servers are learning and do an admirable job and are very interesting to chat with. One of the best places to eat in Nanaimo.
