“Always an amazing experience to enjoy brunch in the gardens at Charlotte and the Quail. The service is fantastic and they are so good about all my food allergies, I even get dessert! The brownie and carrot cake are delicious 😋 and gluten free!!”

“Had an awesome time playing here. Great folks and fun times. Thanks!”

“Attended for an event as part of a conference. The staff were quite knowledgeable and the service was excellent. The wrap I had fell apart when I tried to pick it up though, and while they offer a vegan option for the quesadilla it would be without vegan cheese substitute which wouldn't give the filling anything to stick to. Please add more full vegan options. Other than that, highly recommend it.”

“Friendly staff and quick service. Drinks are awesome every time”

I was a bit confused about what toppings to choose for my customized pizza, but the front-end staff patiently guided me through the options and helped me create the perfect combination. It turned out to be the best pizza I’ve ever had! Definitely looking forward to visiting this place again🍕👏”

Their cocktail program is just as impressive, and the wine service is thoughtful and knowledgeable without ever feeling pretentious.

The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between romantic and lively, making it ideal for both special occasions and intimate dinners. Every visit feels seamless thanks to the attentive, professional service. Il Terrazzo truly delivers one of the best dining experiences in the city.”

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

“Amazing pho! Great service! Definitely worth having to pay for parking to come here! Best Pho I have had in Victoria!”

“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.”

“Receptionist and chefs were too good. We went right before kitchen closing but they served us with Happy face. If your planning to go for lunch please go before 3pm.

They were good enough to ask the spice level. We asked for high and they prepared accordingly.”

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

“We took my parents to Butchart Gardens to enjoy their Holiday Tea. Immediately we were hospitably greeted by a gentleman offering to hang our coats and welcomed us into the dining room. Our server Lauren was most gracious and patient as she explained the menu to us. (My parents are elderly and sometimes take a little longer to do things). We were served tea and a beautiful tiered tray of sandwiches, scones and sweets. The room was extremely calm, the music added to a relaxing atmosphere. In every way, we had a most enjoyable experience at Butchart Gardens Dining Room. We will definitely visit again.”

“The chicken biryani was amazing! They do take out 15 min before close and we got some food late one night and wow we were impressed. Best biryani I’ve had in a long time with so much flavour. I got the shahi paneer and they flavour it perfectly and give huge portions with loud of paneer and rice!

This is our new go to spot. Indian food has always been a go to, even when I lived in Toronto. So impressed with the quality and taste. Cute restaurant too, I want to eat in soon. Belmont market makes it convenient. 15/10!!!!”
