I always stop here when I visit Victoria. Tonight Cara was excellent and guided me through the Fall/Winter menu. The staff is always well trained, find something you like and ask their suggestions from there. It's always a great night with great drinks.

Inspired and truly fantastic cocktails. Glad I stopped by on a Whiskey Wednesday. If you're looking for a chill space with one of the best cocktail selections I've seen, definitely check this place out.

This is an adults' only lounge with a wide menu of alcoholic drinks and a few food options to go with them. Our server was absolutely brilliant! I wish I had gotten her name, but she had a couple nose piercings and straight light brown hair. Her drink recommendations based on the little information we gave her blew us away, and it absolutely made me want to return the next time we're in town.

Amazing cocktails! And the servers are incredibly nice and knowledgeable. I felt under-dressed, but it's very

We like this place. The rush seems to take place after work but settles nicely by 7:30 or so. We stopped by on a Friday evening and consistent with previous visits, drinks are a little pricey and service leaves a little to be desired. Try a bit of friendliness….that would work well. We will be back.

A slightly dated, glam bar, with reasonable cocktails, a fading interior decor, and a surly wait staff. It may have been an attraction in its day, but it's day is long gone.

I eat here weekly, but tonights dinner was subPar at Vista 18. The management quickly contacted us and rectified the situation. Outstanding. We did not expect any action. They’ve renewed my faith in this beautiful hotel. We confused Clives with Vista 18 in our initial review as we had an enjoyable afternoon at Clives. Fantastic views and a superb Chef at Vista 18!

We loved this little place! Expensive drinks, but worth it for the experience. The atmosphere has a classy lounge vibe, and the drinks are well crafted works of art. We'll be back!

Beautiful setting, especially at sunset! Hosts were gracious, food fabulously prepared, but most plates were cool to cold when they arrived. Likely the server was slow to pick up the dinners. I eat here regularly, but tonights dinner was not worth a 10% gratuity. Sad state of affairs.

Probably best cocktail experience on the Island. Really complex recipes and great
