The Bold Knight

Food was well worth the wait and price. Staff were chatting and ignoring us in back room when we went to pay, could have left buy waited fifteen minuets before we were allowed to pay.

Awesome food! Excellent steaks & seafood and a calm & peaceful setting, not like «The NOISY Keg» restaurant!

I found this restaurant using the Unilocal app, we were going to go to the Keg but decided to see what other steak places were available in Nanaimo. The solid rating swayed us!
Excellent service first if all. Family owned an operated and on it’s second generation.
Our only critique was it took an hour for dinner. We did have a small salad and bread basket in the meantime. Food was very good. We were offered a desert to make up for the wait. We shared the chocolate eruption. The cake itself was dry but the molton filling and vanilla icecream were very good.
Would try again. Alot of food so go hungry!

Fall feature is steak and lobster Oscar. Steak was cooked perfectly, the portion of lobster was large and the sauce left me wiping my plate.
Staff was very friendly and attentive. Definitely somewhere I will revisit the next time I’m in town.

This is our go-​to restaurant when we feel like a good meal and friendly service. This is one of the last restaurants that still gives you bread and salad with your entrée, it’s a nice plus. John makes the best sea food chowder that I have ever tasted; and I’ve had lots up and down our coast, Oregon, Vegas (actually known for its outstanding seafood… weird) and more. John cooks a fantastic steak, and my wife can’t get enough of his breaded prawns. The staff at Bold Night is always top notch, well trained and attentive to your needs.
If you’re looking for a great meal at reasonable prices served by friendly staff, look no further. As the other review states, the décor is a throwback to the seventies; but everything old is new again… right?

My steak was cooked perfectly! Hats off to the chef!
We stopped by here to grab dinner before taking the ferry back to Vancouver. The restaurant décor was a throw back to the seventies. But it was clean. Our server was pleasant, friendly and accommodating.
I had the top sirloin steak and lobster dish, a.k.a. surf and turf. As I said, my steak was cooked perfectly. It was medium-​rare, but more rare than medium. The lobster tail meat was extracted from and placed on top of the shell. The lobster meat was sweet and firm.
My daughter ordered the bbq baby back ribs. The ribs were tender and tasty. But, I think they precooked the ribs and finished them off on the grill. I guess ribs are not their specialty.
My wife had the seafood linguini pasta dish with a tomato-​based sauce. It was good and tasty.
Price-​wise, it’s the same as any steak house. Most steak combo dishes are in the upper 20’s and low 30’s.
Finally, I appreciated our server for understanding our situation. We had to be at the ferry terminal by 7:30 pm. So, she had our food brought to us promptly and didn’t waste any time getting our bill together.

This restaurant is one of those hidden gems that only the locals know about. It is hidden along side the South Island Highway between Nanaimo’s Downtown core and Southgate Plaza. Driving by you would never guess that the inconspicuous little building on the northbound side was one of Nanaimo’s premier restaurants!
The Bold Knight offers a wide variety of steaks and seafood (see website for full menu). That are from my experience, always cooked perfectly. My girlfriend an I enjoyed a quiet, private dinner that, while was a little on the pricy side, left us very satisfied.
If you are in Nanaimo and looking for a great meal, I strongly recommend this restaurant! :-)
