Ate at the brewpub with my wife and two kids. We were seated upstairs next to one of the doors that leads to the outdoor patio. It had just started cooling down outside and there was a steady breeze, enough to blow my daughter’s colouring page to a different table. We asked a server if we could move or close the door. She told us that the door would be mostly closed but not latched so they could easily move from the inside to the outside with the food and drinks. Fair enough. However, the door would be pushed open by the breeze and then the servers would leave the door open again after they tended to the outdoor tables.When our food came, my wife’s order had been mixed up. They were apologetic and said her real order would be ready in two mins. Closer to fifteen, but it was fresh and delicious. Food overall was tasty and the drinks were good.

Room #7 was spacious, however, parking was not available for guest. Very poor service for guests especially handicapped. Front end staff not very helpful. Almost had a terrible fall trying to find my way to the restaurant from the room. Luckily I had may walking aides. Was not as described when we made reservations. Will not be returning. Food menu a lot less desirable than when we first fell in love with Spinnaker gin 7 years ago.Rooms: Spacious, relatively quiet except for sea planes. Rooms not well maintained. Lots of cobwebs around inside of windows. Lights needed light bulbs. One lamp flickered a lot and had to be unplugged from the wall. Who puts the toilet paper all the way to the back of the toilet where it cannot be reached easily and right next to the bath tub. Water damage around tub with cracked wall. Tub sinking in several places. Bath sink clogged. Sofa was old and felt like a park bench. Room smelt old and musty. We woke in the middle of the night and opened the doors and windows to air the apartment. Outside porch had tufts of moss between rotten slats. Garden unkept. Stairs and walkways were moss covered and slippery when wet. With a little TLC this can be a great vacation spot.Walkability: Very poor and not very user friendly. Not handicap friendly. Stairs moss covered and slippery. It is close to the water taxi to the harbor so it is a central location. Great for exercise gurus. Lots of user friendly paths, but pretty crowded on a warm day.

Best fish and chips in the city

Food was very good ( we shared clams in white wine sauce & fish and chips ) service was sadly disappointing. Not that busy and they seemed to just forgot about us. 4 stars for food and bevies 1 star for service.

I have yet to be convinced there is a better fish and chips than here. 5yrs running. Every person I take there to get there opinion agrees it's top 3 they've had (visitors from all over BC, AB, SK)

The two stars is for the food quality...we enjoyed our drinks but the food left a lot to be desired... completely unsatisfying...Chicken wings were extremely small...they looked like they came off a pigeon (or a bat). Also, extremely dry and way way overcooked. Sauces provided were unidentifiable and just lousy tasting...one sauce seemed like tartar sauce!? And the other seemed like a salad dressing!? For wings!!??Truffle fries were, almost all of them, small, like a half inch long, and excessively greasy and unsatisfying.The result of the above was heartburn for the entire night and a bar bill way way too high per the low quality.Don't think we will go there again...it's a shame because the drinks and atmosphere were nice...food should have been higher quality.Don't know what it is about Canada but I have yet to experience satisfying wings there...do they make your chickens differently? Lol
Good food and service. I had a flight the beers were good ?

Maybe this is a forgotten treasure for a born and raised Victoria person. I used to come here a lot “back in the day” and then stopped. We walked over o day and we are quite happy to say we will add to our top list for food and drink destinations. Hot chicken wings are amazing. Maybe smoked and broiled on sauce. Not sure - but yum!!We also had the chicken burger on a fresh soft bun and the 3 pig pizza.Our only comment was the chaos at the front door at a time when the restaurant and upstairs was not busy, seemingly disorganized host station, and the upstairs bartender who was visibly not happy to be working.

This is not a hotel. But sure why I am being asked about rooms...might need to re categorize it.The restaurant was very good. We only ate light, but the soup and salads were great.What was really good was the home made ginger ale (beer)! What is strange is that they have a store but you can't buy it there! Too bad.View was awesome!

Had the beef burger and it was very tasty! Had a special house sauce and it worked well. The bun wasn't toasted on the grill but it was fresh, would be better toasted though. Caesar salad was made of kale, but was really tasty!The sea food chowder was great, but the buns weren't toasted either.The soda flight was good.Service was fast and friendly!Would definitely recommend this place, and will be returning.Keep up the great work.

Yesterday, had the most macroscopic burger I've ever had. Originally, ordered the salt & pepper chicken wings, which I always like, on second thought, decided to try the burger. It's a good thing that the chicken wings were also served despite the change of order. Always & still like Spinnakers. Please size up on a reasonable burger. We'll see you again, soon. Cheers, Mark
