  I brought my second son to Bold Knight for his birthday dinner and it still stands as our favourite steak and seafood house in the Nanaimo region. My son had his favourite Moscow Mule beverage served in the traditional copper mug. The tossed salad is fresh and crispy and the bread loaf warm and fragrant. I had my usual New York Steak with baked potato, and my son had the Dungeness Crab with Lobster Tail and rice. Both meals were superb. My steak was thick, juicy and incredibly tender. I ordered Bearnaise sauce which was creamy and hot, but only used about half. There was nothing wrong with it. It was delicious. It's just that their steaks stand so well by themselves. They are aged to perfection, cut and trimmed with skill, seasoned with a very gentle hand, and grilled with just enough char to seal in the juices. Their steaks are a study in perfection. My son's crab was delicate and sweet and his lobster tail meaty and tender. For dessert I had mud pie with a cappuccino, and my son had another Moscow Mule. It was a wonderful birthday supper. The staff are all wonderful and our server was a sweetheart. It was excellent value and well worth a premium gratuity.
  
  I took my youngest son to The Bold Knight Restaurant for an early dinner on a Friday evening and we were promptly and courteously seated at a table of our choice. One of the many benefits of arriving early to any restaurant. We ordered New York steaks with baked potato and vegetables, which came with bread and a tossed salad. The rosemary loaf was hot, fresh and delicious with whipped butter. The salad was very good, as was their blue cheese dressing. The steaks were very thick, juicy, flavourful, scrumptious and cooked to order, much to our delight. My son had Steak Oscar and I had peppercorn glaze with mushrooms, both were excellent. The potatoes were hot, buttery and were loaded with ingredients of our choice. Veggies were perfectly hot and crisp. My son had their apple pie for dessert which came with a streusel top, and sides of whipped cream and ice cream and looked awesome. The service was spot on friendly, attentive and warm. I honestly cannot understand the bad reviews. Is it expensive? Seriously? You get what you pay for. Is the atmosphere old school? Yes, it is. Wonderfully. Unashamedly. I haven't been to a restaurant like this in many years. It was amazing. We've found our local Nanaimo steak house, and we'll be back.

  I went with a group at lunch for a retirement party. The service was below average: the server spilled a glass of wine on somebody at my table. They didn't apologize, but they were quick to move us to a new table. The peppercorn stir fry had great flavor and the beef in it was incredible. The amount of rice was shockingly small since it is so cheap. Came with a salad with gross dressing. Five out of the six of us had bad tasting dressing and the server did not make sure one guests steak was not on his sandwich, something he specifically asked for.
  
  Overall the beef is fantastic, but the service is very below average and the place looks like it was decorated in 1985. If

  Just don't even bother coming here if you're a vegetarian. Food isn't worth the price, either.

  Not sure why this is only a 3.4 star place as it was amazing. I'm not much for seafood but I liked the bacon wrapped scallops and my prawns I got with my steak. The steak was cooked well and the peppercorn sauce was good though kind of different that it was just a side to dip into.
  
  The service was great, friendly and attractive girls helps but they also were doing rounds quite often so you were never waiting.
  
  Was the first place I've ate in at nanaimo and now everything else has a lot to compete with. Would go there every time I visit.
