“Ankit was our server on Christmas Eve and we all thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Ankit was attentive and personable and the food was excellent! This has been our tradition for 6 years now and it will continue to be. We also frequent Turmeric throughout the year. Well done to the chef and staff.”
“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”
“Shuck Taylor’s is one of the most welcoming and relaxing restaurants I’ve ever dined in. It’s my go-to everytime I visit the city. Everything is exceptional. The food, service, music and atmosphere is completely well thought and dialed in. I always leave with a big smile full belly but most importantly, really great memories. I’m looking forward to my next visit already. A gem on Vancouver Island.”
“One of my best restaurant experiences ever. From the moment we walked in the service was great. We were greeted with a very friendly but professional hostess and then quickly taken to our seats. Our server was very attentive and was able to answer any questions we had about the menu. The food was great and the portions huge. Would definitely return!”

“This is my go to place for Indian food. Love the coconut curry (any curry they sell is beautiful) and their naan family size goes real quick around our house! Deff recommended!”
“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 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.”
“delicious, fresh, great menu, reasonable prices. the pakoras are amazing!”
“This might just be the best bakery on the island! I only wish we had discovered it sooner—I would have visited every day. I was completely surprised to learn it’s vegan. The chef is truly exceptional, creating such amazing flavors and quality.
Please come out with a cookbook!!!!”
“The atmosphere, food and service were ASTOUNDING! We have not experienced such incredible food and service in a long time and Block nailed it!”
“The best Japanese food I have ever tasted. Very friendly service. Beautifully presented dishes. Wonderful atmosphere with relaxing jazz music in the background. I would go here every day if I could.”

“We visited the restaurant almost a year to the day from our last visit. (We live in AB or we would go more often) We had the tasting menu and the selections were thoughtful and awesome. The restaurant and staff were busy. We had a dish that we loved last year that involved corn and when the owner found out that we were in the restaurant he made a special course just for us which was DELICIOUS! We are used to tasting menus and the length between courses but our service was just a bit off with large pauses in between certain courses. The staff being busy weren't able to check in as often as we would have liked but it is still one of our favourites and we will definitely return again next September if not before.”
“I have been trying sushi places all over Victoria and again in Toronto since moving there 3 years ago. Togo Sushi in Victoria has remained the undisputed best sushi restaurant that my family and I have ever tried. Over the past 6 years, we always treat ourselves to this sushi and it is a highlight of every visit to Victoria. The owners are incredibly kind and generous, really a pleasure to come here. I cannot recommend Togo Sushi enough!”
“A friend and I just dined here for the 1st time and we both were blown away. The renovation of the interior is beautiful and the service was impeccable. We were treated to the owners daughter that kept checking in on us and had a great conversation and heard some background of the development of this new idea from the owners as we have always been fans of Sizzling Tandoori.
We ordered 4 dishes to share and they were all incredible. My personal favorites was the gnocchi dish and the torkhi chaat dish???? we will definitely be back and highly recommend trying this place out!
Thank you for the lovely evening.”
“This place is a local gem. Not a lot of people know about it, but I’ve been here a few times and every time I’ve been I’ve had a great experience.
I recommend it to people visiting Victoria.
I recently had the pleasure of dining for the fourth time at Part and Parcel, and while the innovative menu and amazing chef deserve high praise, it was our server, Sydney, who truly made the experience exceptional.
Sydney's attentiveness and genuine enthusiasm elevated our meal from great to unforgettable. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she navigated the ever-changing menu with ease and expertise, making us feel both welcome and well-cared for.
Part and Parcel is a great place, and with staff like Sydney, it's a must-visit! The menu changes a lot- my dad and I did the ‘tasting’ option and we didn’t come across a dish we didn’t like.”
“This French Cafe is a little out of the way, however it’s worth the visit if you like a good coffee and/or a French Crepe! They have a variety of Crepes, however they are all fresh and so delicious! We will definitely be back to try the other ones! Thank you for the lovely service!!”

“Bring the chicken Mcdo!!!!!!!!!!! You guys will run KFC outta business if you bring the chicken Mcdo with rice!!!!!! There is an ongoing GROWING Philippino community and I think others would grow to enjoy this product!! Push for it, send this to corporate please. Just imagine all of your restaurants packed just like they are in the PHILIPPINES, you need FAMILY MEAL sized fries at a competitive price!!! SELL BUCKETS OF CHICKEN TOO AS A FAMILY MEAL. This ECONOMY needs it and would bring more family’s out to eat!! Forget a kids meal, what about a FAMILY meal!!!!!!!!!”
“it is 4:33, Monday, December 23. i sit here and just watched a mcmiracle. im a hungry man, so i placed an order hoping to get a decent 10 nugs, bigmac, and fries. the result, was something i have long forgotten. the reason i go to mcdonalds. not only did i get piping hot fresh food, but when i asked for a cup of water they gave me a hesitation free challace to cherish. sometimes when i go to mcdonalds i cant lie a lil soda may end up in my cup, but here that didnt even cross my mind. they delivered with a smile, and i swear hands down i had the best mcmeal of my mclife. while i was eating, the most elegant worker melodie was sweeping the place to that nostalgic perfection. the tables were cleared moments after any party left throughout my stay, which continues to highlight their outstanding service. would i reccomend this place if you want a mcdonalds meal ?? not necessarily. would i reccomend this place, if you want ronald
himself to come and bless you with a mcmiracle, then i would take a swing by. i dont think youll regret it.”

“You know what's up. I like Mickey D's. I'm a loyal devourer of chicken snack wraps and mcdoubles. Convenient for folks who wanna grab a quick bite of some mediocre but lovely food that never fails to hit the spot for me. One thing : stick to the dollar menu or certain cheaper items. Any promotional meal or item will be 3X the price for something that's the same size as a dollar menu item. Gotta think smart and order smart 🧐”
“Let's be honest for a minute, Timmies is not the best coffee, nor is it the best food, and the service is somewhat frenetic, or non existent. Having said all that, there is something about the anticipation of arriving and the joy of leaving with a hot coffee that you know will taste exactly like the last one you had just that morning. And the same as the one you had 4 times the day before. There is comfort in consistency, and that is the magic elixir of Tim Hortons.”
“"I had an amazing experience at McDonald's, thanks to Yogita (not quite sure about her surname)! She greeted me with a warm smile, communicated very well, and handled everything in a professional manner. While presenting my food at the drive-thru, she made the experience feel welcoming and pleasant. I truly felt good meeting her, and her positive attitude made my visit memorable. Yogita’s professionalism and excellent service are truly appreciated!"”
“I recently visited the McDonald's in Esquimalt, and I was thoroughly impressed! The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience pleasant from start to finish. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and my order was prepared quickly and accurately. I especially appreciated how fresh and hot my food was. The McCafe coffee was also excellent – the perfect pick-me-up! I’ll definitely be returning to this location for a fast, reliable, and enjoyable meal. Highly recommend it for anyone in the area!”
“1 year ago I ate inside at this location. It was so scary my kids asked me to leave even though we had not finished our food.
THIS VISIT WAS GREAT! The place was clean and tidy. No scary people hanging about. Our order was processed quickly and well. Good job McDonald's.”
“I have now come twice, and both times I left thinking “that’s the best ramen I’ve ever had.” They have the friendliest staff and the best food. A beautiful quaint interior matched with phenomenal food. I tell everyone I know, and will continue to do so.”
“Went here with 3 gal pals and loved it! The menu is gorgeously expansive with classics and unique twists. Our waitress was a pro at giving suggestions and narrowing down our options based on our taste preferences. The vibes inside were retro hotel - cool moldings & wallpaper. Cozy, dim lighting, sexy. Garnishes were all very fun, drinks were delicious! My only regret is not trying more drinks!”
Takeout Restaurants
“Mmmmm, this place is awesome, I can see why all the local workers pop by here for coffee breaks or lunches. Inside can get a bit packed, tight washrooms but loved that ham swiss croissant, better than Starbucks version. Iced coffee was creamy and delicious. Worth a stop!”
“We really enjoy coffee and treats and occasionally lunch in this lovely spot. The staff are great, the venue charming. The outdoor water views are beautiful. The only thing I would suggest, is to add few savoury baked goods, for those of us without a big sweet tooth. Savoury scones, sausage rolls etc for a small sustaining snack😊”
“Amazing gf and df food… but just amazing food in general! My partner is not gf/df/vegan but absolutely loved everything about this restaurant! We went twice during our brief visit to Victoria and both times the food and service was amazing. It is so rare that I can go to a restaurant and order absolutely ANYTHING from the menu 🤯! Highly recommend!!!!”
“Superb flavours. Light and spicy, lovely cooked fish. Definitely a visit you will not regret.”
“Delicious food, great service. This restaurant is at the bottom of a parking lot off Menzies Street in James Bay (across from Thrifty Foods). The food is wonderful, the service is great. I will return often.”
“We decided to try this place to get away from regular everyday sushi. It is amazing, all the dishes we ordered were perfectly made and tasted amazingly fresh. The place is a bit more expensive but it is worth it.
Also try out the Corso Sweet Potato Amber beer. It's really good.”

“This is one of Victoria's highlights. Bunny's is a hidden gem of a cafe and one of the few places to get a decent latte, flat white, or cappuccino. The food is good, but the atmosphere is cozy and community-oriented. The best way to describe Bunny's is that it's like coming back home for the first time. We're originally from Ontario, and stepping into Bunnie's, it was a quality cafe experience without any of the pretentiousness downtown. Just make sure you have some time to kill because once you get to the cafe, you won't want to leave, and they do close early.”
“I celebrated my Birthday this evening for the 2nd year in a row thanks to my BIL and SIL. Perfect setting, food and service. A Victoria ‘gem’”
“I came in with a fairly large group, but they took the extra time to grab extra chairs from the back to accommodate us, so that’s an A+ for service. The ramen itself was super rich and was delicious. If i wasn’t just visiting, I would definitely come here again.”

“I’ve been going to Cheryl’s for decades! Her dishes are spectacular! I just finished a seafood crepe!! It was so delicious!! Can’t wait to buy another! I’ve used Cheryl’s for business and I have never been disappointed. I met her mother the last time I was there and she was skewering chicken that Cheryl was taken to a hosted dinner amongst other delicious items. Can’t go wrong with Cheryl’s. So many years of offering her Gourmet meals to us Victorians. THANK YOU CHERYL!!”
“Had the most divine time celebrating our first holiday party at the Courtney Room. I've never been to this restaurant, but I will say, I WILL be returning ??? it was the most satisfying meal I've had in a while.
To start, I had the kale ceaser salad, the cod for my main, and for dessert, I had the olive oil chocolate cake! All was extraordinary! This dining experience will be remembered as the most joyous occasion! I can't wait to bring friends and family here the next time I'm in Victoria! Keep being delicious ??”
“Our dinner was excellent once again. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.”

“It was a very special visit, it was actually closed, but Tom came and made time for us whiskey friends from Germany. We knew Macaloney whiskey from a tasting and its Scottish-Canadian peculiarity. He showed us the visitor rooms and also the heart of the distillery, and there was also a small tasting. Great cinema, this employee lives the passion of whiskey making. The owners can be proud to have such a passionate employee!”
“We have visited Working Culture a few times on are travels and today I stopped in to grab some bread but noticed they had a Vegan sandwich in the fridge so I opted to grab that and not the bread. One of the best Vegan sandwiches. If you’re vegan or not, don’t pass this up!! So much flavour all around. I’ll definitely be back again for another next time. (I took the picture after a quick bite 😀)”
“Sedona Cafe & Lounge is amazing! Lovely patio, fabulous food & classy vibe! We had the Sedona burger with Yvonnes amazing homemade salad dressing. Then to top it off, homemade sticky toffee pudding with homemade ice cream! (We shared but now I wish I didn't have to) It was all to die for and the perfect place for foodie lovers date night! Check it out!”

Thank you for the lovely evening.”
“I drove out to the fairway market shelbourne this weekend because I really wanted Lumpia. I ordered a meal plus extra Lumpia. the meal was pretty small for the 1 item plus noodles, which I got pancit bihon. The pancit was very runny which I have never experienced before, and it did not have much flavour and not good however the Lumpia was delicious. I wouldn't recommend the pancit bihon but I do recommend the Lumpia, so delicious.”

“Everything was a highlight. The splashy fun decor and friendly attentive service were my first impressions. And then came the food. Wow all so good! Can't say enough about this place so I'll just say Ya' gotta eat here!”
“Quick stop for a Guinness before we headed back to the cruise ship. Live music and awesome atmosphere.”
“Health Essentials is just exceptional. Every time we visit, the staff are friendly, can answer questions and are truly interested in their products. They stock a good variety of supplements, dry Keto foods, and the best variety of frozen meat in Victoria. If it's not in stock, they'll request it from their supplier. They also host Professional seminars throughout the year too. A 10+”
“Biryani dishes are incredibly beautiful. Rice and chicken perfectly cooked. So tasty and such a comfort when you are hungry. Biryani second to none, no wonder the restaurants name. Quality and generous portions. I now eat here at least 3x's a month.”
“What a bar. If you like cocktails this place is a must. The menu is beautiful, the complexity of the drinks incredible, the service top notch, the decor spot on. If I lived in Victoria I would be a regular. If you are visiting, treat yourself to a great time.”
“This French Cafe is a little out of the way, however it’s worth the visit if you like a good coffee and/or a French Crepe! They have a variety of Crepes, however they are all fresh and so delicious! We will definitely be back to try the other ones! Thank you for the lovely service!!”
“Fresh & tasty local ingredients, caring friendly service, a clean organized kitchen, a wide variety of toppings with dietary options available; these all come together to provide you with some great pizza and a healthy satisfying feast. Well worth the short trip out to Willows Pizza if you are looking for some high-quality slices to fill your tummy!! Yummy!! 😋”
“A HUGE thank you to Herald Street for welcoming our group tonight! The service was wonderful, the beer was excellent, and great times were had.”
“My family and I are visiting from New Jersey USA. This restaurant is near our location. I am a Chef by trade and career. When I say that the Food and Service was Exceptional, Take my Word for it. The Pleasantness and Professionalism of Sarah our Server to The Mahoney Breakfast Chef makes you your Breakfast or Lunch to what he decides to put on your plate. After the meal was done, you have the option to pay the menue price or flip to either pay $0 or double the price. The food is prepared Fresh and "Made From Scratch" style as was my restaurant!!! Oh BTW!!! Fresh Made Real Hollandaise Sauce!!!! When we visit every year, this will be our "Favorite Go To" Place!!! Thank you Floyd's!!!! Can't Wait for Next Time!!”
“Original and authentic Indian restaurant I would like to say original flavour of Indian food. Great service, would highly recommend.”
“It was okay. Maybe I will try other pizza later since the restaurant is one of local's favorites. It was a busy Saturday evening but the servers were quick and friendly. We sat at the bar so we could watch pizza prep and woodburing oven. It was fun to sit around the bar.”
“Ian is a fantastic host. This was my second time there. They make some very interesting beers. This is a unique brewery that is work going back to. I'll certainly visit when I'm in Victoria.”
“Channeling my inner Hemingway, thought what better way to appreciate the culture that captivated and inspired him… Spanish cuisine and Wine! Mother and daughter team, Veerle and Vanessa source only the finest authentic ingredients to create a beautiful evening in España. Whether a pre football match, romantic moment or social time with friends, Tapas is more than an art-form but a way of life. From Europe and travelled extensively in Spain this family offers Authentic Spanish Tapas Pintxos, Conservas, Raciones, with Vino Cava, Vermut and wines on the menu at Matadora Tapas. An absolute delight and can’t wait to come back! Great service from Vanessa and Matt wish to ensure you’re treated as a VIP! 🇪🇸🍷🥂🏆🍤🥓🍇”

“I would love to say Moxie's restaurant in Victoria was spectacular. Our employer took us there for a staff party. Are server was exceptional. For such a large group she handled us in a very prompt and orderly fashion. I really appreciated the offer for new Cutlery before our meals after the appetizers were done. I would definitely recommend this place for a lot of people to enjoy some peace of mind and great service, excellent food, and the atmosphere was very inviting.
I will definitely come back, I was very impressed. Great job Moxie's! You've achieved all my votes of five stars across the board.”
“Holy artichoky! We’ve tried a lot of pizza places in Victoria and this has got to be one of the best. Our picky toddler even ate two slices! Not to mention the easy ordering, low delivery cost, and fast service. We just finished and already can’t wait to order again.”

“Stopped by for dinner. We got the tasting board, which is recommended for two people. It came with a couple of appetizers, two curries, paratha, appam, two kinds of rice and many condiments and chutneys. The food was delicious and the service was prompt and friendly. Definitely going back there!”
“L'Apero catered our professional event today and to say the food was outstanding is an understatement. Deliciously fresh and inviting, top quality ingredients and excellent service.

“Just had the first of many meals at Sushi Langford. The food was amazing. Everything was made to perfection and the flavours were next level. The service was exceptional and Jenny went above and beyond to make sure our experience was a memorable one. These people love what they do and it really shows. Make sure you stop in for lunch or dinner you won’t be disappointed!”
“Incredible atmosphere that somehow manages to be both exciting and intimate, and like the food, in perfectly balanced servings. Amazed at the number of flavours and ingredients they are able to fit into a sushi roll without falling into the "westernized sizing" that so many similar establishments seemed to have adopted. Delicate, balanced, and satisfying without being a meal ender. For those who enjoy all the various food media these days, and have wanted to experiment without signing up for a large, unknown dish... the Tapas style and extremely affordable menu makes multiple visits not only a must, but a new, yet familiar experience with each visit. Attentive yet subdued service finishes the dish perfectly. Balance and thoughtfulness are the threads throughout which the entire experience is woven.”
“We loved our visit here! My husband enjoyed the Bento and I had the salmon chazuke. Both dishes were absolutely incredible! The staff were friendly and approachable, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. Definitely add this one to your list if you're in Victoria 😁”
“We are a couple of queer feminists and we went to see Arthur Simeon and Courtney Gilmour at Hecklers last night. Absolutely loved the entire show, laughed until our faces hurt. Kudos to Hecklers for bringing them in!”
“Fresh flavours and friendly faces at a fine price. I love coming here!”
“Wow I didn't even know this place existed and I'm so disappointed. What a great spot tucked away in the downtown core. The patio is amazing and the food and drink menus are a great mix of old school with modern twists. Perfectly executed. Can't wait to go back!”
“My wife and I arrived at 5 ish on a Saturday in early January and were immediately seated.The place was busy but we were given menus and attentive service from the start.We always get Fajittas and Quesadillas and these arrived quick, piping hot and very good.And it was in the range of real peoples wallets.We don't drink but the young people around us seemed happy.”
“Great place for locals and tourists alike - couples, families, friends, workmates, whatever, good food, good beers, and plenty more besides. Along with a couple of flights of beer, we had the Kafka-esque hot dog and the Mustard Pickle Grilled cheese with pulled pork - excellent! Pictures in the Comments below…”
“Visiting from Vancouver for first time we we’re walking around dt and heard live music so we decided to get it and get some beers and wow, the vibe of the place, the music and the service are gonna make us go back. Great experience.”

“Tasmin was our server When we arrived, it was very busy, Tasmin seated us quickly in the "VIP" section which made my kids very excited. She was an absolute wonderful server, she was personable, funny and very knowledgable and helpful with the menu. She made our visit one of our favorite memories from our vacation. I would highly recommend this restaurant to families, it is a great atmosphere. Also, they offer a gluten free menu if you have dietary restrictions. Absolute 5 star review from us, we hope to visit again soon, thankyou Tasmin !”
“Good food reasonable prices and friendly service. The beer was good too.”

Really nice pub experience.”

Your coffee mug will never be empty and you belly will be full.”

“We had the pleasure of eating at Four Mile Brew Pub on Sep 2nd, 2024. We were visiting Victoria on a Cruise Ship and a local couple picked this establishment for lunch along with another local couple. The food and service were outstanding, and the building is beautiful inside and out. We ate in the pub area and really enjoyed the experience. The manager really came thru, though. When paying a card case dropped to the ground and we didn't notice it. The manager found it, and seeing a California phone number called and got the house sitter who gave the Cruise Ship information, and then let us know. The manager dispatched an employee to return the card case. The house sitter let us know and we were able to talk to the manager and since the employee was on the way, we were able to meet him and retrieve the case. High praise to the staff! Thanks!”
“Best Location in the Hub of Victoria with the Best Staff to Match: I’m a local resident who favours 10 Acres Commons. This downtown eatery at the hub of Victoria sits across from the Empress Hotel with a patio on all the action. Managers and bartenders Alex & Roy make you feel like every time is your first time with excellent service and friendly smiles. The owners aptly promise: “Our locally based menu featuring sustainable seafood and organic produce from our farm, exuberant steamer bowls, generous sharing platters, creative cocktails and local craft beer on tap are just some of the reasons to come by and hangout.””
“This place is seriously THE BEST! Such a cute place with fun stuff to get kids, my kiddo loves the pokemon sour candy. But I'm here today to say their pop corn chicken makes my taste buds sing! I LOVE THEM. The waitress was awesome too, she goes well out of her way to give you the best service imaginable. If I lived closer to this restaurant, they would see me daily lol”
“This is one of Victoria's highlights. Bunny's is a hidden gem of a cafe and one of the few places to get a decent latte, flat white, or cappuccino. The food is good, but the atmosphere is cozy and community-oriented. The best way to describe Bunny's is that it's like coming back home for the first time. We're originally from Ontario, and stepping into Bunnie's, it was a quality cafe experience without any of the pretentiousness downtown. Just make sure you have some time to kill because once you get to the cafe, you won't want to leave, and they do close early.”
“I am a regular customer there for a reason. I enjoy the food a lot, but also the people and the decor. Also, they have 2 bathrooms, which I find very convenient considering I always wash my hands before starting to eat. The food is full of flavour and they have lots of options to choose from. The location is also great, as a final detail. Go try it, you might like it!”
“We recently dined in March restaurant in May 2025. The food and ambiance were excellent, and we were pleasantly surprised with the discovery of this restaurant in Victoria. Please note that this is not your typical Chinese restaurant that serves the run-of the mill dishes for a quick turn-around; instead, this restaurant serves authentic Cantonese cuisines. The chef is passionate about his cooking -- they use the freshest produce and ensure that customers enjoy the pure and natural taste of the dishes. The restaurant is tastefully decorated; it is devoid of the 'loud' Chinese lanterns or traditional writings -- and this reflects the owners' attention to detail. Dining in March is a delightful and satisfying culinary experience. Highly recommended!”
“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”

“I used to be a regular customer eating at Boom + Batten every week. I discount one star at this review because I found my favourite roasted prawn risotto had been removed from the menu. Please consider bring it back. That risotto was unique in its flavour and so only at Boom Batten+Batten. The pea & bacon risotto on the new menu is good yet common.”
“Our meal was delicious, the menu was extensive and a reasonable value for steaks especially, our waitress was lovely, very attentive and knowledgeable. We had a lovely view of the harbour from our table, the atmosphere was a little quiet, but other than it was an enjoyable experience and we would recommend!”
“Always a lovely time coming here when we have family visiting, or to celebrate a birthday. The panoramic view, of course, is outstanding and is a rare glimpse at all of
Victoria.
We enjoyed the flank steak, calamari, seared ahi tuna and a burger. My personal fave is the rich - and authentic - raspberry sorbet.
Service couldn’t be better. We were highly attended to, with friendly service and a keen eye on our needs.
Thanks for making another meal very special for my family.”
“Visiting from out of town, with family in your restaurant tonight. Outstanding service and hospitality from our server Rory😊. He went above and beyond with showing us the upper Patio. It was closed for the season but being from out of town, he was able to give us a tour.. we will definitely be back come patio season. Thank you Rory 🙌”
“Had the most divine time celebrating our first holiday party at the Courtney Room. I've never been to this restaurant, but I will say, I WILL be returning ??? it was the most satisfying meal I've had in a while.
To start, I had the kale ceaser salad, the cod for my main, and for dessert, I had the olive oil chocolate cake! All was extraordinary! This dining experience will be remembered as the most joyous occasion! I can't wait to bring friends and family here the next time I'm in Victoria! Keep being delicious ??”
“Came here for the first time with my family for the late menu. We ordered and shared four different pasta dishes and two desserts. All were excellent, but my personal favourite was the Braised Beef Campanelle. We were also given a complimentary appetizer to share while waiting for the pasta.
Our server Ewan was fantastic. We asked for and accepted his recommendations on several of the dishes.
We’ll definitely come back the next time the next time we have a pasta craving.”
“AMAZING fish and chips. Huge portions, so order accordingly. Loved sitting on the waterfront munching away!”
