“Although they don’t serve food I had to give them 5Stars anyway because these drinks are simply the best. As a person who abstains from alcohol this bar and these bartenders make the BEST de-alcohol used drinks anywhere. Best armosphere, room, music, drinks and service. Such a lost art but this place really makes and reminds you what actual brilliant service should look like. Thanks, Citrus and Cane.

“We came in for a drink before dinner at the nextdoor Irish pub and had so much fun we stayed for another drink. The bartenders were so friendly and funny, and gave us great recommendations of other places to visit around town. The theme and vibe were incredible, we tried to come back the next day and sadly they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. This is a MUST visit 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.“

“Stunningly beautiful restaurant perched overlooking the Inner Harbour. We had fresh oysters to start which were divine, then had the tuna tartare which was perfection personified. We both ordered steak, but two different cuts. Both steaks were inedible - they were cooked perfectly, but you couldn't chew them. The manager noticed that we both left our steaks and asked if he could have them remade or offer us a different main but we declined and told him not to worry about it, the rest of the meal was delicious. He came back and told us that he took $50 off our bill which was appreciated. He was very apologetic and accommodating. I will go back again, but this time I will order all seafood.“

The pinball halla is straight-up legendary, nostalgia high. If you're in Victoria and want to crush some high scores with a cold brew, this place is all that. GTs“

“The nettle and goat feta cestini may be my new favourite pasta dish - the balance of sweet, savory, and fresh played so well on the plate! A lot of the cocktails lean into bitter flavour profiles and their “savoury” cocktail (Pontiac ‘87) still leans more on the sweet and bitter side with a hint of salt, but they were still very interesting and well made! The staff were all lovely and attentive, a great solo dining experience for sure! Plates are made to share - bring some friends if you want to keep costs lower (but the price is worth it) :)“

“Went for lunch since I was craving Tteokbokki after my recent trip to Seoul. Unfortunately the server said it's part of the shareable menu and would be too much for a single person. So I opted for Kimchi fried rice instead. The banchan were ok but the fried rice was just like the one I had in Korea, plus the portions were huge and for this alone I'll rate 5 stars. Overall a hearty and satisfying meal!“

The manager was incredibly kind and accommodating. We asked many questions about the menu and drinks and he answered all of them kindly.
