13 Best American Restaurants near Brentwood Bay

“An amazing spot with a patio right on the water. We shared a delicious meal with oysters, a salad and cannelloni. Everything was well prepared although very rich. The server was very personable and attentive . The previous evening they were unable to accommodate our large group of 10 so we were pleased to get a chance to try this place.“

“We had a pretty good experience here and really like the unique menu options and variety. From taco salad to eggs Benedict and everything in between! The staff was excellent and friendly. The Eggs Benedict was delicious but not very warm unfortunately. There is a temporary heating issue with the restaurant so I won’t completely fault the kitchen. It was a bit chilly sitting in there. The poutine was outstanding, and fries are cooked to perfection. Very generous portions and the loved the smiles from the staff. A great stop before heading to the gardens. We will definitely come back again.“

“We were looking for a nice lunch spot on our trip to Victoria and came across this place on google, the reviews were great so figured we would give it a try. So glad we did! The great reviews are warranted. We each got a sandwich, the chicken and the pork and we both loved them. I also got a side of soup and the small is perfect size to enjoy and go with your sandwich. We aren’t riders but still thought the theme and decor was super neat. If ever back in Victoria we will definitely be visiting again.“

“Probably my 8th time coming for wing night and I’ll definitely be back. Be prepare to wait but it is always worth it. Owner runs the door and he is friendly and funny despite the chaos. Sami was our server and by far one of the best servers I’ve ever had (and I’ve been in the service industry for years). We had a big group but she was accommodating, friendly, personable, quick and organized. The wings speak for themselves. Always happy to show new friends this spot. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“The Marigold Cafe is an absolute must-visit spot, especially when you're out on a bike trip around the peninsula. I frequently stop here during my rides, and it has become my favorite break spot. Not only is it a great place to recharge with a snack and some energy, but the atmosphere is just perfect for a relaxing pause. The cafe is always clean, giving a refreshing and welcoming vibe. Additionally, the staff are consistently friendly and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant experience. It's a little haven for cyclists and anyone looking for a cozy spot to unwind. Highly recommend!“

“We are new to Victoria, and drove by this location a couple times. Today we decided to give it a try! Great ambiance and atmosphere. We were immediately greated by the friendly host and promptly sat in a nice well lit area. The restraunt was a little busy, but very clean. Alisha the bartender made us great recommendations and drinks. After our meals arrived, Jordan the manager dropped by to check on us and made sure everything was perfect. Quality of the food was amazing, great presentation and quick! Jordan had mentioned they do something special for birthdays, so we will definitely be bringing the kids back!“

“My visit to Denny's was a delightful surprise! Despite its unassuming size, the experience was top-notch. The friendly staff ensured a warm welcome, and the food surpassed my expectations in taste and portion size. The cozy atmosphere added to the charm. Overall, a small yet fantastic dining experience at Denny's!“

“This place is great for what it is - a very casual pub. We arrived after 1030pm with a group of around 20 (wedding afterparty). It was a busy night as they had other events going on, but they made the effort to get us space.I cannot say enough nice things about our server - she was the only one taking care of our large group, and she was super quick, accurate, and completely friendly. People kept moving around, ordering drinks for others, getting rounds of shots etc, and this woman had it NAILED. If I'd had been in her position, I would have lost it - we were kind and not belligerent (I think), but the whole situation must have been aggravating trying to keep track of people.Drinks were decent, and damn, so cheap. I got a round of shots for the table and was fully expecting my bar bill to be over $250, but it ended up around $100.Can't speak to the food, but damn, please give the blonde server with glasses a raise.“

“I saw The Fountain Diner ratings and went for breakfast brunch &We were 3 along with small kid, they told to wait for 15 mins outside then after 15 mins they told it will take more 10mins.I told server lady that I’ve small kid and she’s Cold outside can she stay inside ?she was like NO. Even though there was space inside which could accommodate the kids and some adults.What a cold hearted she must be or not sure if the rules of The Fountain Diner don't allow people if they are dying in cold.Once I was inside the male server & other female server(Faye) who served us were really polite & down to earth persons.I see Asian people like Indians have always soft corner and helpful when I was in Goa…I’ve been travelling around different countries.Parking: Parking can be done in near by plaza.Restaurant is not huge inside (approx. 17-18) tables insideParking is limited in front of restaurant & but lots of parking around the plaza“
