“I’ve visited Tim Hortons numerous times, and I’m always impressed by the exceptional customer service provided by Rajdeep. Every time I go, she greets me with a warm smile, which really makes the experience enjoyable.”

“Just a little café on campus. A good place to grab a quick lunch after you visit Hatley Castle. There’s nothing special about it, but it’s totally fine for a café on a university campus.”

“Favourite little Caesar’s by far. Staff are so happy and everything I’ve gotten has been good and consistent which I love. Can always trust them for lunch got plenty of hot and ready to go items.”

“what a great place for food and great servicr”

“Brooke was super friendly and made my visit really great. She got my order right and fast, with a big smile. You can tell she cares about doing a good job. Great service all around!”

“Had the best lunch at Kahuna with out of town friends. The Loco Moco was a delite for my husband but the Kiluaea Kahlua pork was beyond expectations ... great service and friendly fun owners. The dole whip with lava sauce was a pleasant surprise ... good portions, great food ... didn't get back to get the macadamia nut bars but now I have a great excuse to get back there SOON1”

“They care, they try, and they succeed. On top of all that, their food was fun to eat! They deserve our money.”

“Beautiful ambience, wonderful service and great food.
Only bees were really annoying, so if you are not a fan of those, during summer months perhaps choose a table inside.”

“Really good twist on greek take out. Beautiful flavor profiles. Nice energy as I walked in the door. It's very tasty, and I ordered on line for quick pick up. Only downfall, is it's slightly pricey. Might not be their fault, because 2025 has everything $3-$5 more than it should be.
Still, it means it can't be a regular lunch spot. Special occasions.”

“We visited again from Sask and did not disappoint! Amazing! Well worth the wait in line! I had the tuna on salad! And my husband had the halibut fish and chips with a side of the chowder. The chowder was his favourite. Still taking about it. The staff were also fantastic. Friendly and very efficient! For the amount of people served and the small space we were amazed at how spotless the kitchen was. Highly recommend a visit here!!”

“I had the Maple Bacon donut. fabulous. Selection is great a donut lovers dream. Highly recommend”

“We visited few days ago in the evening and Raman served us, it was our best experience ever. The environment is really good, would recommend my friends and family for sure.”

“This is our must go to restaurant when we visit Victoria via boat for 30 years. First-year there I ordered the BlackBerry halibut and every year since then I order it and it's still my favorite cooked perfect, it's hard to make halibut moist like butter. My husband loves the olive tapenade they serve with their focaccia bread and will get an extra bowl to pour on his pasta. Best cheese cake too. Great culture, attention to detail, they even use copper water pitchers, the water is great.”

“I shall have to come back and try it again, it was very good. I had the Takoyaki Appetizer, deep fried octopus balls and for the main course Black Arashi Tan Tan - Black sesame base with pork belly, egg, spinach, bamboo shoots, crushed peanuts, chili oil, garlic, green onion and nori seaweed.”

“The name of this place really makes sense.
The service is always kind and meets us with a genuine smile. And when you try your food, doesn’t matter if it’s the fried chicken or the corndogs, they are so delicious that you will probably smile too.”

“We had an amazing experience at the Alpina Restaurant. The restaurant is well appointed and the view is stunning (even with some rain and clouds). The food was absolutely outstanding (especially the beet salad) and we enjoyed literally every bite. Both our servers were very good. It was fine-dining level expensive and worth every penny. Was perfect for our anniversary celebration. Definitely recommend!”

“This place is a gem! The food’s always fresh and tasty — best hoagies around, hands down. Staff is super nice and the place is always clean. You can tell it’s family-run and they put love into everything they make.”

“Fern has never disappointed with their baked goods. The cinnamon buns are a must try. They added doughnuts over the past couple years which have always been very good when I've tried them. The scones are another personal favourite. I have ordered a few items off the kitchen menu over the years and been pleasantly surprised but honestly I'm often going for the baked goods. Parking around the back is convenient when available, otherwise parking in the area is a pain to find. Location is small with a few tables inside that can fill quickly during busy hours. Staff is always pleasant. If you follow their social media they sometimes post BOGO near the end of the day if they have treats leftover.”

“Best service ever. Friendly environment, great ambiance. Best food ever, fast and efficient, Always above and beyond”

“This is a review from August 2, 2025: We stopped at Shuck Taylor’s on a whim while off the ship for the day, and I’m so glad we did. Even without a reservation, they accommodated the two of us last minute with genuine hospitality. It’s a simple, no-frills spot, but the food was absolutely extraordinary.

The attention to detail was impeccable—from the freshly shucked oysters served with a pile of freshly grated horseradish to their own house-made oyster spirit, which added an unexpected flavor burst to a glorious Bloody Caesar. The Dungeness crab was to die for—sweet, rich, and perfectly prepared.

One of the standout dishes was the buffalo oysters—totally unique and so delicious I wanted to order more, but I was already too full. Sitting at the bar felt casual, but the warmth and attentiveness of the staff (including, I believe, the owner) really elevated the whole experience.

Highly recommended. This place is a gem”

“The best Shawarma I have ever eaten. A definite must try it's excellent!”

“Just go it’s very awesome”

“Home of the best cheesesteak I have ever had. You are doing yourself a disservice if you aren’t eating here!”

“Very delicious food ,Lots of choices hard to pick one .Friendly environment excellent service. 👌👌My family loves Turmeric its so good and I recommend to all visit Turmeric and try food . 🤗🤗its so amazing the way they presented the dishes and I can’t 😀stop myself to visit again and again .”

“The BEST poke place in town! All the ingredients are so fresh and they have tons of options! The place is so clean and organized and the staff are so kind! HIGHLY recommend 🥰 -Katie”

“From the moment you walk through the door to the moment you leave, the professional and attentive staff take care of every detail. Restaurant is large - it has great ambience, the layout provides a personal and intimate feeling despite there being many tables. The food is superb, we plan on returning to make our way through the great menu. It is the best place we have eaten at in Canada for food, service and ambience. We highly recommend the seafood tower as a way to taste through some of the menu. The grilled octopus rivalled what we have eaten in Italy. The pork belly was cooked to perfection. The wine list is extensive and expertly curated.”

“I dislike all drinking teas, so have coffee with my afternoon tea. I commented to out server, that it would have been much preferable to have coffee served in an individual French Press, rather than from a thermos (not great coffee). Also, it is much "classier", in keeping with the overall experience.”
