amazing restaurant in a small town, Norwood's food was the best and I can say that having sampled 2 three course meals (mine and my husbands!) Perfectly cooked and then served by smiling staff made our meal delightful. Note to the wise: Save room for the Goat Cheesecake.

During the annual FEAST ocean to table festival in Ucluelet & Tofino we try to get to new establishments we have not tried before. Norwood's was such a place. SO pleased we did. Extremely well thought out and designed restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere. We were second customers in yet it felt busy. Open kitchen area is nice and three... More

We were in Ucluelet for the weekend and had originally booked a table at Fetch. Friends of ours said, we must to to Norwood's. So we cancelled Fetch and headed to Norwood's. The atmosphere was brilliant. From our table we were able to see the chef's create. We were greeted at the door by Chef Norwood himself. The food was... More

This was simply the best meal we have ever had! Words cannot describe the perfection of every dish that was delivered to our table. We had the pleasure of being served by the gifted sommelier Livio, a charming, confident, soft spoken treasure. The first gift was this luxurious cocktail that Livio made himself, a cucumber infused vodka mixed with a... More

This is a very special place, what a treat! Amazing food, and warm, friendly service. Everything was first class! Chef Norwood you rock! The oysters were delicious, beautifully presented, so tasty, chilled on a bed of sea salt. Also, the scallops and octopus were sublime, great taste combination and seared to perfection. Everything from the food, to the wine, the... More

My friend and I had dinner at Norwood's on Friday night. We were very impressed by the food, service, and ambiance of the restaurant. We were especially impressed with the scallop, octopus, and tuna in our appetizers and main dish as they were so fresh.

Just had a most fantastic evening at Norwoods. It was full on arrival and we were given seats at the bar, which turned out to be the best seats in the restaurant. Banter all night with the delightful Kelly (with a Y), she made an exceptional experience absolutely great fun. Food is a fusion of Far East and Classic European,... More

I love the remoteness of Ucluelet. I am also a foodie. Thus, I was thrilled with the carefully prepared and unique dishes at Norwoods. We dined there on 2 out of 3 evenings during our trip and worked our way through wine pairings, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. All were excellent and the server Kelly was wonderful and made our visit... More

Who would have expected a restaurant of this quality in a little West Coast village of 1,600 people? Despite an uninspiring physical location (no views), the atmosphere in this small, intimate restaurant is totally inviting with clean, modern decor, bright funky art, and an impressive open kitchen. But forget all that: it's the food, the food, the food that matters... More

Norwoods Restaurant probably is the best in Ucluelet, though I have not tried all of the town's eateries. Our server was, Livio Porcellato, a very personable & knowledgeable sommelier. The food was excellently prepared & presented. Our party of 4 had but one criticism: Norwoods is not in Vancouver!
