The food was creative and amazing and Morgan was wonderful. We ate at a number of dishes and all were exciting. The presentation of each dish was also fabulous. I’m sorry I’m only adding 2 photos. We had 6 dishes but each was so attractive and interesting that we pounced before photos were taken.

Great meal at the bar on a Saturday night. Food is excellent and the mood is casual but not to say service is. Here all the floor staff is friendly and knowledgeable but that doesn't get in the way of a very professional service. Morgan was excellent. I'd go back any day.

I didn’t find this place, it found me. Searching for shelter on a rainy night in victoria when sailing conditions were barley visible i aimed down government street steering straight at the neon lips that glowed above the bar. Inside i found a delicious tuna crudo and frogs painted on the wall. My kinda place. Would and will recommend to everyone. Even if they dont ask. Thanks end dive

Food was bland or weird. Mushrooms in almost everything (fine if you like them). Gnocchi was chewy and so salty. Drinks and food are overpriced. I've tried twice to like it. Service was fine.

Came in looking for a table for 5 at 6:45pm and the host looked at me and said “yeah, that’s not happening.” I’m sorry… what? My issue isn’t that they couldn’t seat us, it’s that I could think of 15 different kinder ways of communicating that off the top of my head. I had previously tried to make a reservation but they were full, no biggie, except I wish they had communicated in previous emails that they generally can’t take larger tables on a Saturday night (which is what the host proceeded to tell me when i had to pry more information out of her after her initial, rude, response) so that I wouldn’t have even wasted my time there. I sent an email explaining this to whoever I spoke with when requesting a reservation, and told them I wish they had let me know prior that they don’t usually take tables more than 4 people on a Saturday night (without a reso at least) instead of casually inviting us in to wait for one. Their response was… Wow. So incredibly rude. Attached below.

I’d like to point out that there was never an option to wait for a table to be ready like they said in the email. I was immediately turned away upon arrival, and there was no wait list ahead of me (a table of 2 & 3 were seated right away just before me). There were many chances for the host to offer a wait time, but what I got was a rock hard no.

So, long story short, if you’re a table of 5 without a reso, don’t bother, you will be turned away at the door without a chance.

Godspeed.

Had such an amazing meal. Delicious cocktails, wonderful food, service and ambiance. We had the beets, salmon belly and the stuffed pasta with walnut sauce which was so delicious and unique. Would come back here again and again to try their frequently rotating menu!

This place is AMAZING. Run, do not walk here if you love good cocktails and good food. Everything is super local and was truly excellent. Our server literally grew some of th produce in use. Asked for a martini made with local island ingredients and it was the best martini I've ever had (as a martini enthusiast). I can't recommend highly enough!!

Knowledgeable and friendly staff, exquisite and creative dishes made with local farm to table ingredients and delicious cocktails and desserts make this one of the best restaurants in the Pacific Northwest.

Some people like a bar for its quality drinks, some people like a bar for its food, and others still might like a bar for its atmosphere and patrons... While end dive meets all of these criteria with quality colours, my perspective is a little different from most people's. I believe the quality of a bar can be judged solely by its bathroom.

Judging from this lens, end dive is a five star establishment with the nicest bathroom of any bar in town. Visit here and you will not be disappointed by the amenities, vibes, and spaciousness of its water closet.

Absolutely star studded experience. Dig into a crunchy, perfectly cooked rockfish burger and dive in with a fresh, unique cocktail! Plenty of non-alcoholic options, our attentive waitstaff Maddy served us up quick. Easily my best spot in Victoria so far!
