Had lunch by the floatplane dock at the flying otter grill. It’s fun to watch the planes taxi in and out, and you get the odd waft of exhaust as they idle away for takeoff; adds to the charm of the place. We are on a Sunday for all day Caesars and we split a two piece halibut fish and chips – lots for two people. The batter is light and crispy and the fish inside was a generous portion and super hot.

We arrived at 12:50. The restaurant was busy with people waiting at the front desk. A few patrons were leaving after their lunch and the line moved quickly. The hostess prepared a table of five for us quickly and soon after our drink and meal orders had been taken. Good burgers, fresh salad, crispy fries, cold beer. Also, a fun view of the boats and float planes operating along the dock.

Waited 40 minutes for my takeout order that was clearly forgotten about. Person taking my order at the front did not once comfort me to know that the order is on its way. She seemed very nervous given that she had not smiled once with any of the customers coming in. My wife and I waited so long and I was standing at the front waiting patiently. Our group of 9 people all received and finished their food before we could receive ours. And we came to the restaurant at the same time.

Casual Bar environment more so than a restaurant! Food was tasty and cane food fast but there were flies that flew by my table the whole time I was there which wasn’t very appetizing! Service was ok! They just seemed very busy and couldn’t take the time to respond quickly or offer food suggestions

One of the best clam chowders on Vancouver Island! The flavors are rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. Every bite was a treat. The ambiance of the place is also fantastic – cozy, welcoming, and perfect for enjoying a meal. Definitely a must-visit spot if you’re looking for great food and a comfortable setting.

We googled best calamari and this place popped up. It’s hard to get reservations and the seats at the bar is limited. But you have a great view of the Harbour Air planes. Their daily specials are so good. It was a Thursday night so we ordered the steak and prawns dinner for $22.95. The mango dressing was divine. Shoutout to bartenders Olivia and Lydia. Liv and Lyd. Best meal we’ve had in Victoria.
