about us

Oliver’s Lounge & Grill carries forward the spirit of Cowichan Bay’s beloved Masthead Restaurant — a place that, for decades, was woven into the rhythm of the Bay. Known for its fine dining, gracious hospitality, and sense of occasion, the Masthead was more than a restaurant; it was a gathering place.

Today, Oliver’s honours that legacy while inviting a new chapter. Family-owned and thoughtfully reimagined, the space reflects our love for the Bay, our respect for its history, and our belief that great food should be both elevated and easy to enjoy.

We call it fun dining — a shift from formality to familiarity, without losing intention. Our menu focuses on quality ingredients, bold, balanced flavours, and dishes meant to be shared, lingered over, and returned to. The atmosphere is relaxed, the cocktails lively, and the welcome genuine.

Whether you’re settling in for a long lunch, meeting friends at the bar, or watching the Bay drift by in the evening light, Oliver’s is a place to feel at home — with the space, the people, and the food. A familiar landmark, renewed, and ready to be enjoyed again and again.
