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. We ordered the steak and seafood platter for 2. food was fabulous, too much for us to eat. My only issue would have been i had to ask for ice water.
Rude and dismissive wait staff. She wanted us out of her section for ordering drinks not food and we were glad to get out of there.
Love this place! We stop in every time we’re in Victoria. Harry is amazing. Fantastic Caesars 🍹

The Steamship Grill & Bar offers a cozy atmosphere with a beautiful view, making it a popular spot for social gatherings. Set in the heart of the Inner Harbour, the restaurant occupies the location of the old wax museum, creating a familiar and nostalgic feel. The service is generally commendable, with attentive staff who keep customers informed of any kitchen delays. Recent reviews highlight a pleasant experience on the patio during warmer months, though the indoor space is also open and comfortable for those who prefer to stay inside.
The food received mixed feedback, with the appetizer menu being described as solid. Many customers appreciated the dinner for two, featuring great filets and generous portions, as well as the crème brûlée and specialty drinks. Specific dishes, such as the truffle mushroom pizza, were noted for being large, rich, and satisfying. However, there have been instances of some dishes, like the Caesar salad, being praised while others, like the salmon and tuna, were found overcooked or not up to par.
Customers have noted the Thanksgiving turkey meal as okay, while the mixed grilled fish, chowder, and bang bang chicken were described as delicious. The seafood chowder and crab bisque are also highlighted as amazing. The service remains typically excellent, with fast and friendly staff, contributing to a lovely experience for those dining with friends or enjoying the view. Steamship Grill & Bar continues to be a recommended place for a satisfying meal, encouraging guests to stay a little longer and appreciate the surroundings.
