Good food and drink options. Prices good also compared to city average. Staff friendly as well and not pushing you to order, pay and leave. Locals and regulars generally.Pub side: Sometimes have to walk through smokers at entrance. Darts, keno, piano and pool table available. 2 (I think) non-intrusive large screens with sports with sound off.Restaurant side: Same menu as pub with more traditional booths and dinner tables. Quiet and family friendly. No screens or games.

The food is good. My club house was well made. I asked for plain mayo instead of cranberry mayo, and the substitution was gladly made. The bacon was nice and crispy and it was real turkey, not the roll. I had a side of salad instead of fries. My lunch partner had the beef dip, and it looked very good. She had yam fries, but they didn't have the plain aioli for a dip. The service was pleasant and quick. The servers kept a good check on all the tables and service all around was pleasant and quick. The atmosphere is non-descript but pleasant and the music is present but not too loud. It is a nice quiet place for a nice catch-up lunch.

My spouse & I have frequented this eatery during our annual vacations for a number of years. This is THEE restaurant we PREFER while in Victoria. Always busy, but there's always a table for us. The food is perfectly prepared and presented. Prices are NOT high. Our number one!
The JBI is an Art Deco treasure. Been there a few times and it's always like stepping back in time. Servers are great, food is fast and good. Weekend Brunch can be busy.

This quaint restaurant is something to take in while in Victoria. The food is great and reasonably priced. Staff/service goes above and beyond. Connor truly makes it a wonderful place. He always goes out of his way to make it great for our elderly mother. .

Loved every second, the service was so warm it was wonderful. Thank you Skye! The food, no question as to just how tasty it was. The menu prices can't be beaten in comparison to other restaurants of its kind. Still I believe, there are no other restaurants like this place. The art deco atmosphere gave me the feeling of being in the era. So fun! Seriously, worth every single star!

Wonderful comfortable eatery in a historic building in James Bay Area of Victoria presents with good variety of menu offerings. We enjoyed Halibut and chips served with a tangy slaw. All round: Very generous portions. The other choice was liver and onions served with flavourful mashed potatoes and gravy. Lightly steamed fresh veggies completed the plate. Much of the seating is large private booths so we were able to relax and enjoy our visit and get caught up without too loud Muzak interfering. Our pleasant server didnt rush our visit yet was attentive to our needs. A nice evening out - we’ll be back!!Parking: Behind the building there are a number of tight spots but this space also accommodates the Inn upstairs.Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu very reasonably priced.
Great food and great service?
