“Wildly fun atmosphere and brilliant food. We sampled oysters and chowder. Layers of clean, fresh, simple ingredients (oysters, fresh grated radish, lemon, assorted sauces…) allowed a choose your own flavour adventure. Friendly but not intrusive service had us feeling welcome. Can’t wait to come again!“

We had 6 dishes but each was so attractive and interesting that we pounced before photos were taken.“

“So shocked reading the other reviews , I'm glad I didn't look at them before going as I may have changed my mind. Waitress was attentive, food arrived quickly.

“The meal is excelent and his ubication is wonderful“

“I dined in with a friend. I ordered the pork fried rice and mapu tofu, absolutely delicious! The staff were friendly, the food came out fast, the waiter refilled our waters and tea pot regularly. The waiter was amazing, he asked for the preferred spice level of the mapu tofu and when I blanked, he recommended medium spice and it was perfect! My only issue was the bathroom that probably could use a little renovating, but overall very positive experience.“

“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.“

“The steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavour. The harbour-view setting made the evening feel special and memorable. Our server was attentive and friendly the entire time. The sides and appetizers complemented the meal beautifully. It’s the perfect spot for a date night or celebration — highly recommend The Keg in Victoria!“

“Oldie but goodie place that offers simple western food and chinese food. We went here for Chinese food and it didn't fail. We're asian and we're happy that they have the needed condiments on the table. I asked for the chili and she happily provided. We went at 11:45am and all tables were occupied for lunch. Servings were big at a lesser price. Worth the walk from Tillicum Centre.

Posting here the updated menu with prices as the old ones were posted 2 years ago. Note also that my kids had already a few bites on the food in photos.“

“The managers and staff members always carry great hospitality which makes for an incredible atmosphere and the cooks always turn out great food. Love this place!! Lifetime subscriber!“

“Great food, best in Victoria“

“Legit place. Im from vancouver and we have a lot of asian food! This place would beat a lot of other restaurants in vancouver“

“Our daughter's request for her birthday was Brady's and they didn't disappoint. Food was great, server/owner was so entertaining.... $ was up but everything is so to be expected. We all had a great time...thank you 😊“

“Have always had good experiences at Vista 18 for both food and service. Went for breakfast recently and had a great experience with our server Emma. Friendly, attentive to refilling drinks and checking how things were tasting. She did a great job helping celebrate a birthday at our table and being sensitive to him being a celiac.“

“Celebrated my husband's birthday. It is a quaint restaurant with homey feeling. our waitress was attentive although she was busy with multiple tables. We met Bob who has been working at restaurant for 47 years since it opened. we would dine here again.“

“Our chef (red coloured hat/ascot in the photos) was a REMARKABLE addition to our evening. He knocked it out of the park with the banter. I will definitely be saying this with certainty: Ever single person at a restaurant has an even higher bar to stand next to now that I know hospitality isn’t actually dead. I have been in this industry for 12 years, I’m blown away. VERY impressed. You hosted 2 groups of strangers like we were your best friends. The steak was cooked perfectly!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you! I WILL be back!!!“

“Just popped in for a quick snack and ordered their vegetable gyoza. They were probably one of the best dumplings I've ever had. Not deep fried, but properly pan fried and steamed. Perhaps a little small but powerful in taste! Not sure about the rest of the food but these were nice!“

“This was the best food and well worth every penny. They were extremely busy but our food came out in a very timely manner and hot! The tea was hot and yummy! So much food for a very reasonable price.“

“Best Location in the Hub of Victoria with the Best Staff to Match: I’m a local resident who favours 10 Acres Commons. This downtown eatery at the hub of Victoria sits across from the Empress Hotel with a patio on all the action. Managers and bartenders Alex & Roy make you feel like every time is your first time with excellent service and friendly smiles. The owners aptly promise: “Our locally based menu featuring sustainable seafood and organic produce from our farm, exuberant steamer bowls, generous sharing platters, creative cocktails and local craft beer on tap are just some of the reasons to come by and hangout.”“

“Dim Sum experience at this place was so great - ladies came with carts and there were so many tasty options. The place was packed but did not have to wait long. Everything we had were hot, fresh and tasty. Siu Mai and steamed shrimp on tofu were BIG compared to other places in Victoria and green tea was strong.“
