Very busy but beautiful spot to explore. The float homes are all so cute but I feel terrible that the residents have to deal with such big crowds. We were in and out in after 1-1.5 hrs, great spot for lunch on the water.

Beautiful spot in Victoria. A most visit attraction. Particularly in the weekend sometimes there is a local band playing nice music. Many different restaurants to choose from. It's also the departure point from whale watching trips and you can also take there the harbour taxi.

Nestled in the bustling cityscape, Fisherman's Wharf Park offers a serene escape to nature's embrace. A place where the urban and maritime worlds harmoniously intertwine, it presents a unique blend of cultural vibrancy and tranquil green spaces. As you step into the park, you're greeted by the melodious tunes of local musicians and the gentle rustling of leaves. The park is a popular spot for both locals and tourists, providing a picturesque setting for a leisurely stroll or a peaceful afternoon picnic. With its well-maintained pathways and ample seating, it's an accessible retreat for everyone looking to unwind amidst nature. The charm of Fisherman's Wharf Park lies in its simplicity. It doesn't boast grandiose attractions or adrenaline-pumping activities; instead, it offers the simple pleasures of life—a place to sit back, relax, and watch the world go by. The park's proximity to the water's edge allows for stunning views of the harbor, where one can observe the ebb and flow of daily maritime activities. For those with a penchant for history, the park serves as a window to the past. The floating homes and boats anchored nearby tell stories of a vibrant maritime heritage, inviting visitors to delve into the tales of yesteryears. Food enthusiasts can indulge in a variety of culinary delights offered by the takeout food shops within the park's vicinity. From fresh seafood to local treats, there's something to satisfy every palate. In conclusion, Fisherman's Wharf Park may not be grand in size, but it's rich in character. It's a testament to the fact that sometimes, the simplest experiences can leave the most profound impact on our hearts. Whether you're seeking solace, a touch of history, or just a pleasant day out, Fisherman's Wharf Park is well worth a visit.

A wonderful location, adding vibrancy to the city of Victoria. This area offers a range of restaurants, cafes, and colorful spots, making it a place worth visiting for anyone exploring the city. A perfect blend of charm and convenience!

This is pretty. Unfortunately we were there on a rainy day. I like colors of shops and houses. I wonder what benefit private home owners get bit allowing visitors walk besides their homes? I do not think it is fun to live there were you would be on the public eyes all the time. I liked seeing houses, shops and water taxes, a pretty picture. We had fish and fries and I did not enjoy fish at all. It was fish with very bland batter and was not tasty at all atheist for me. Overall it is a mist visit place for sure.

Lovely place with colourful buildings on the water. In the place you can see restaurants, ice cream shop, galleries and houses. There are public washrooms in the place. Really nice atmosphere. Next to the place there is a big lawn and small playground. There is a pay parking lot and free parking spots on the street. Highly recommended to visit here.

Beautiful place to spend the entire day with friends and family. They offer kayaking and whale watching experiences. There are a few food joints, but I wish there were more varieties available specifically for vegetarian.

A truly excellent museum with a wide variety of engaging exhibits. When I visited, there was an interactive exhibit on protest music that was fascinating, and the section on local ecology and geography was very informative. The diorama of the city in the early 1900s is top-notch and really brings the past to life. Be sure not to miss the exhibit on native languages — although small, it’s incredibly meaningful and I wish there had been more of it. Outside, the totem poles on the East lawn are a highlight and well worth the time. Overall, a place that combines history, culture, and education beautifully.

Highly recommended! You can see a precious mammoth specimen here. Other animal exhibits are very lifelike, and the displays recreate the animals’ natural habitats. Visiting this place gives you a great understanding of Vancouver’s history, local wildlife, environment, and culture. The lady at the front desk was very friendly — I’m really glad I came to visit!

Employees on strike day we visited so Imax & some areas closed. Museum did not live up to the hype. Second floor natural history displays were poorly lit, hard to read and some videos not working. Disappointing. Best exhibits were on third floor, and covered history of India's manufacturing Chintz. When you see what was involved, you can't not be impressed. Many significant totems, worth seeing. Price of admission reasonable, worth seeing. Excellent gift store and cafe.

If you want to know more about British Columbia this is the place. You will learn about its fauna and flora, about its people, places and influences. I was completely blown way by the room Our living languages ,where you can learn and listening to the indigenous dialects, and the reproduction of the early 19th century town. Quite impressive. Save at least 2h for the visit. I was there all morning. The museum is also home of the Imax cinema. It has a café, souvenir shops and toilets.

I haven't been here in about 30 years and it is much smaller than I remembered. The Johnathan Hunt House and Old Town displays were interesting and well presented. I thought there was a lot more indigenous art on display the last time I visited and was very disappointed. John Lennon's Rolls-Royce was a cool surprise.

Had a great visit with my partner and our toddler. The Music of Resistance exhibit is incredible - go if you can and learn about activism and music in BC and around the world. Lots of cool memorabilia. Unfortunately, the indigenous language exhibit is closed, which was a real let down - its our family's favorite.

During our visit, most of the areas were closed due to renovations, and we weren’t informed about it when we purchased our tickets, which didn’t feel fair. That said, the sections we did get to see were amazing, and I hope we can explore the rest on our next trip

Canada’s Oldest Chinatown! I was really impressed by how beautiful and large the gate is in person. There are many restaurant options to choose from, with my favorites being dim sum and duck—they're simply the best! Some places also sell bubble tea, which makes this Chinatown even better. After eating and exploring, you can check out the souvenir shops. I bought a "Victoria’s Chinatown" fridge magnet, and it was worth it. As an Asian, I was pleased to find a Chinese grocery store that had everything we needed for our vacation here in Victoria, BC. On the downside, I found this town is a bit smaller than I had expected before arriving. A pretty short walk around the area will have you seeing the whole town in just a few minutes.

Victoria’s Chinatown is such a vibrant and fascinating place to explore! As Canada’s oldest Chinatown, it’s full of history, charm, and character around every corner. The colorful streets, beautiful murals, and unique architecture create such a lively atmosphere. There are plenty of interesting shops to browse, from local boutiques to traditional stores, and the restaurants offer delicious food with so many flavors to enjoy. Walking through Fan Tan Alley is a must—it’s narrow, quirky, and full of surprises. A wonderful spot to experience culture, history, and great food all in one!

The large Chinese gate is currently wrapped in plastic for a roof replacement project. The sign on it said October 2025-February 2026. If you only want to see the gate, skip it during these dates. We went at night and enjoyed walking through Fan Tan Alley with the lights and lanterns overhead. It was after 5:30 & most of the shops were closed, but there were many open restaurants.

There are tons of places to eat around here, and plenty of spots stay open late, which I loved. And if you visit in the spring, the pink cherry blossoms are absolutely gorgeous — the whole area looks like something out of a photo. Such a fun place to walk around and grab good food!

You can really feel the history of early Chinese immigrants here — how they settled, built communities, and shaped the neighborhood over time. After strolling through the area, you’ll also find plenty of cozy spots nearby to sit down for a breather, whether it’s a cup of milk tea or a comforting bowl of Chinese comfort food. 🧋🍜

It is the oldest Chinatown in Canada and also the one with the narrowest street in the city, Fan Tan Alley. It is a small area comparing to other Chinatowns but it is vibrant. It has good variety of shops, food places, and the chinatown museum. Not to be missed.

Victoria's Chinatown was designated a National Historic Site in 1981, following some major re-vitalization. It is Canada's oldest surviving Chinatown and originally populated by immigrants coming for the gold rush in California / Canada, and became a gate way for Chinese immigrants ever since. So I was very excited to visit after visiting Chinatown's in San Francisco, Chicago and New York. The architecture surviving from the 19th Century and re-vitalized was a towns cape hardly ever seen any more. Really took you back in time. Such as: Gate of Harmonious Interest, Fan Tan Alley (the narrowest street in Canada and past home to opium and gambling dens), Chinese Public School. Roughly 2-3 block area contains unique shops, and stores featuring a variety of "Asian" items. Yes, this is a "must see" sight, but quite frankly I was disappointed. Entire area, especially most restaurants, appeared dirty and grimy. Most shops were selling shop-worn, junk. While we were really looking forward to a good Chinese meal, we actually walked away and ate elsewhere. "Sorry Charlie."

A Meal for the Memories – Execution Near Perfection Upon entering the restaurant, I was immediately struck by its inviting atmosphere, reminiscent of a speakeasy, infused with a subtle warmth. The attention to detail here is commendable, from the warm lighting and tinned ceiling to the exposed brick walls adorned with the restaurant’s name. This ambiance sets the stage for the exceptional fare that follows. The Food: Appetizers: Seared Scallops: This dish exemplifies exceptional execution. The scallops were perfectly seared, offering a delicate balance of texture and flavor. The accompanying accoutrements were thoughtfully sized to complement each bite, while the sauce was a flawless blend of richness and taste. Only a small complaint that the sauce was split nonetheless amazing flavour pairing. Bone Marrow: This dish showcased impressive technique. The marrow was creamy and silky, with a rich depth of flavor. It could have benefited from just a touch more salt, but this was a minor detail in an otherwise expertly prepared dish. Beef Cheek: A harmonious balance of flavours, the beef cheek was butchered to perfection and served with a delightful duo of sauces: a rich peppercorn and a vibrant poblano demi-glacè accompanied by a poblano purée. Each element complemented the other beautifully. Mille Feuille: Absolutely delicious! While the cream could have had a bit more richness, it did not detract from the overall experience. The dish was light and airy, layered beautifully, providing a perfect finish after the hearty beef cheek. Cocktails: We sampled a variety of cocktails from the menu, each unique and expertly crafted—arguably some of the best in Victoria. Balancing Act: True to its name, this cocktail is a well-balanced blend where no single flavor overpowers another. It strikes a delightful sweet-and-sour note without the overwhelming presence of vermouth or grenadine often found in other drinks. Apricots and Old Lace: So nice we ordered it twice! This cocktail features a forward note of apricot, balanced beautifully by bitters and lemon. The addition of egg white lends a silky texture, making each sip a smooth delight. Short and Stalky: This drink offers a flavor profile unlike any I’ve encountered before. Its unique taste—neither herbal nor earthy—is challenging to describe, but its refreshing quality and refinement make it a standout. Spurs & Saddles: I approached this cocktail with caution due to its smoky nature, which can easily overpower. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Despite my usual aversion to smoky drinks, this one was expertly balanced, with just a hint of effervescence, making it enjoyable. Disco Jalisco: As someone with a sweet tooth, this was arguably my favorite drink of the night. It offers a perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and tangy notes, reminiscent of a margarita yet distinctively unique—pure bliss. The combination of vibrant atmosphere, exquisite food, and outstanding cocktails makes this restaurant a true gem in Victoria. Dining here is an experience not to be missed. The artistry and creativity displayed in every aspect reflect a commitment to excellence that sets Little Jumbo apart.

The food is amazing, the wine list is well curated, the Empress 75 is delicious, and the beef cheeks fall apart perfectly. Our server was very sweet with our four year old and the aesthetic is lovely! Great location in town too!

The duck was amazing- I ordered it as medium well done, and it was perfect for me. One of the cocktails had a fruit fly, and the waiter kindly waved the price for that one. I enjoyed the food and appreciated the service here. One of my favourite restaurants in the town! Edit: visited again. The cocktails were great as the last time, but the food was a bit disappointing. On our last visit, the duck and halibut were amazing. Time time, the lamb was tough (I had to work hard to cut the meat); the bison burger was just okay; and the mussel had some sand. It seems like experience may vary depending on what you order.

On our last night in Victoria, we decided to “get fancy” and try this gem of a restaurant. We made a reservation over the phone rather than Google (Google wanted a credit card for cancellation). The restaurant is tucked back from the street through a hallway but has ample signage to find It! We were seated immediately and started with a round of cocktails. The entire menu sounded absolutely delicious so we decided to start with a few appetizers and share an entree. We ordered the Polenta Fries, Beef Carpaccio, Burrata and the Haida Gwaii Halibut Croquettes. The Croquettes were served in chili oil and quite the kick. Everything else was delicious! Our server, Matt, even took the burrata out of the fridge to allow for room temperature as my partner requested. We shared the Yarrow Meadows Duck Breast which was cooked to perfection. To finish the meal, we ordered the Mille Feuille for dessert and felt It was the perfect complement and finish to the flavors of the meal. Matt was phenomenal and was ready with cocktail suggestions, explanations of Canadian norms and even joined our banter on learning any new language and living in a different time period! It was a wonderful evening in the cozy Little Jumbo restaurant and we will definitely be recommending It to friends visiting and will be back ourselves one day! 🐘💜

Stopped in for cocktails and appetizers. Most of the cocktails were home runs, especially the smoky sarsaparilla one and their riff on the espresso martini. The riff on the aperol spritz was a little underwhelming but the rest were A++. In terms of food we got oysters, fries, and duck wings. Everyone loved the duck wings and only complaint on oysters (which were beautifully shucked) was that they’d lost all the brine, or liquor. Vibe was great, service from bar and waitress were warm and welcoming. Would definitely return!

Hubby and I were celebrating our honeymoon in Victoria and decided to check out Little Jumbo. It was a really nice atmosphere. The food was quite tasty.. the drinks were strong! Service was pretty good, although the bartender was quite busy so wasn’t able to give us much attention. When we were finished and wanted to pay for our bill, he was nowhere in sight so we flagged down another waitress to cash us out. Overall I would recommend checking it out. Apparently the menu changes weekly so you likely won’t be able to try the same things we did. The scallop pasta was delicious, slightly small portion and a little bit pricy.

A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Cozy spot for a fab cocktail and very good food. Clayton at the bar will take care of you. You won’t regret the tomato confit burrata dish - the only issue is they don’t serve it with enough bread!

We decided to visit Victoria after finding several restaurants offering vegan food. Since Be Love is dedicated vegan and also gluten free, it was my first choice. However, there wasn't that many items on the menu to my taste, but since they promise seasonal items, I had hoped that there would be some pleasant surprises. The rest of my party decided to order organic red and white wines by the glass. I chose Earthblood Tonic juice made with carrot, beet, celery, kale and ginger. It was very refreshing and looked stunning. The Mac Bowl appealed to me because it claimed to have braising greens, seasonal vegetable, and broccoli. I was warned that the sauce contains garlic, but I took a chance hoping that it would be black garlic rather than fresh garlic. Fortunately, the garlic was hardly noticeable and I was not affected. It was a very rich dish and I loved the creamy taste of the sauce. The roasted hazel nuts were strange and tasted as though the vegetables still had soil/sand/grit. I was disappointed with the scant amount of greens and vegetables, and if I had known, I might have asked for extra vegetables. And of course, I could not finish it the macaroni. If it wasn't for the 'gritty texture' I would have rated this four stars. My friends ordered the daily special gluten free ravioli with nettle. They all loved it. We also shared a platter with flatbread, cashew cream cheese, apple & beet chutney. I was only able to have one item because the rest were heavy with garlic.

Be Love is a beautiful place to enjoy a vegan meal. The atmosphere is relaxed and stylish – but what really stands out is the service: the staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and warm. You feel welcome the moment you enter. The food? Simply fantastic. Everything was fresh, creative, healthy, and 100% plant-based. I was especially impressed by how beautifully presented and well-balanced the flavors were. Whether for lunch or dinner – absolutely worth a visit. I’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely fire 🔥. Food was outstanding, healthy so that is such a huge bonus to the feel good atmosphere, gluten free and plant based!! Very generous portions, I am so full I almost couldn’t finish it (probably in part that it’s all plant based so it’s extra filling), and I can eat a lot 😂 Clean food for the win and then on top of all that the staff were so freaking kind! Really felt the love here. Whole aesthetic fits perfectly, even down to the design of the washroom! Loved my dining experience. All love from Oregon! :D

My wife was searching for a gluten-free restaurant and found this online. It is vegan and gluten-free but extremely delicious. My wife was very happy with her food selections as well as my food selections. Overall, it was a very lovely experience, the food was delicious. The atmosphere was nice and the server was great. Highly recommended.

Great service and very friendly staff. The menu had a lot of interesting options — I chose the Bibim Guksu since I'm familiar with gochujang. The dish wasn’t bad, but the vermicelli noodles were quite undercooked — they were stiff and chewy, almost raw. Combined with crunchy vegetables like raw cabbage and carrots, the whole dish felt a bit too firm overall. It turned into a bit of a jaw workout. The sauce also didn’t seem to fully coat or soak into the ingredients, so the flavor felt somewhat uneven. I’d be open to trying something else on the menu in the future.

Amazing. Just AMAZING green curry bowl. So flavourful and filling hearty and warm I couldn’t wait to give this place a five star review. Great service and incredible food I’ll be back here often. Thank you!!!!

Really incredible atmosphere for dining in! So cozy and food was delightful, very healthy but still flavourful! Left feeling full and wanting to come back to try the rest of the menu :)

Missed out on visiting this restaurant in May so I made a priority to visit this time I'm in Victoria. The 1 pice cod meal was absolutely delicious 😋 😍 and portion of cod and fries were perfect for individual and per price point. The chowder was phenomenal 👏 🙌 The stunning views and watching the sea planes, small boats, water taxis added to the atmosphere and experience. Little wait time for my meal today. Great service from the til to picking up my meal, be sure to listen for your name 😉 the tunes were on point as well. Flash back to times in Camden market and fisheries around UK. Will definitely be back to enjoy more menu options!

Amazing quick service spot for fish and chips simple menu and despite every order being cooked to order, everything comes out fast so don't be intimidated by the line. Highly recommend the chowder as its an unique take on the traditional cream based. Adds another dimension of flavour to the typical fish and chips meal

One of the very best fish and chips I’ve had! The long lines should tell you just how good these fish are. Up to an hour wait while lining up, but it’s worth it for the delicious seafood on offer. Delightfully crispy and flaky fish, super fresh tasting and nicely sized. The fries are well seasoned and are crunchy as well. The seafood chowder is loaded with tasty bits of seafood and more, making it stand out from other restaurants. Good service and decent cooking and prep times once you’ve got your order placed. Some tables and chairs in the area to sit back and enjoy your meal. Come try it out, you won’t regret it!

One of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had! The cod was sooo fresh and the portions were good. The chowder was so delicious as well and it had a spicy Thai flavour to it which I loved. The wait was about ~10 min when we went but I would it expect it to be busier on a warmer day. There’s some seating around the area as well where you can enjoy the views of the water!

Food was great. My wife doesn't like fish at all but she tried the Halibut and loved it! Also the yam taco wife loved it. The fish was so light and flavorful. Go before 11 am to beat the lines but it moves fast.

This is a cute little fish stand, serving delicious tacos. We wait in line for about 20 minutes, put our order in then sat on the stools to enjoy this fresh tacos, and fish and chips. This is a super casual place overlooking the Victoria Bay. We had gone a few nights before and the line was down the block so we chose a different night – it was worth the wait and very enjoyable. The fish and chips were light and crispy, and the fish tacos were delicious. Very reasonably priced at this glorified food truck. Would definitely go back.

1st visit: Very good food, especially the fries. Large portions. Very limited outside seating, always a line to order. 2nd visit: not as good. Stood in line for more than 40 minutes. At one point, they stopped taking orders due to a need to catch up. The food was good, as usual. The salmon sandwich was quite good, and not as wet as the first time. I didn't care for the seafood chowder, since it contained tomatoes; however, my wife liked it. As with the other visit, the battered halibut and fries were very good.

Went on a recommendation and loved it. Luckily when we went there was a band playing Jazz. It was so cool. Loved the atmosphere and the chilling vibe. Has a patio but inside is way better for seating. Got their Hot Chocolate for drinks and it was delicious. For food we got Gnocchi and Salad which again were just so good. Totally recommended.

I really liked the service. The host was very welcoming and accommodating especially when it was so busy. Our waiter angel was also attentive his timing and the knowledge of the menu helpful as it was our first time there. Their happy hour seems like it has some great values. Overall I would definitely come here again!

Writing this I kind of feel a bit sad that I can't back soon as we are on the other side of the country. :) We went one night and the line up and the place was packed. So decided against it. The recommendations from friends made me go back. It was our 30th anniversary month and the visit was worth it. The evening was very enjoyable. The place was busy as usual but it really wasn't a long wait. It's tight in there. The staff have it worked out like experts to be able to manoeuvre the tables and chairs to get you seated. Awesome staff. Thanks very much. Thanks Kelsey for the service. Menu items as attached the pics. So delicious.

This was an amazing place for dinner, probably one of the best I've ever been to and one Victoria's finest restaurants. The service was extremely fast: there was no wait for a table, the waiter (Although I did go on a Tuesday night, pretty late!) was very quick and attentive in getting drinks, bringing us bread, taking our order, checking up on us, and bringing the bill. The in house sangria is delicious. We ordered a large order of pasta and they split the dish up onto two plates without our even having to ask! It was the most delicious pasta I have ever had! There was live music and the whole place felt cozy and welcoming. I enjoyed every moment of the visit and cannot wait to return again in the future!.

We were 2 nights in Victoria for a short holiday. So we search Google Map for a nice restaurant for lunch. So here we are. We are impressed with Pagliacci's Restaurant. The Decoration and the atmosphere are very nice. The Food & services was excellent. We enjoyed our Espresso very much. Too bad that we cannot have any grilled, because it will be served only Dinner time. We has pasta for lunch. The restaurant is good located, easy to find and with some seating outside.

My partner and I have been to victoria 4 times in the past 3 years together and it has become a tradition to come to Pagliacci’s - no negotations. Most recently we came November 7, 2025 and once again the food and portions satisfied without fail. 1. Focaccia bread - All times we came here, I couldn’t resist having a smile on my face upon taking a bite. Not kidding when I say their bread is just so unique and classically delicious. No dips required. It is on the saltier side so I reckon taste experience will vary by flavour preference. 2. Mr Robert’s Seafood Lasagna - Latest trip we went for a couples date and both ordered this. We were able to finish one but still had half left over from the second batch. This was really thick and savoury..filled us up pretty fast. Lots of baby shrimp and generous amounts of cheese in this one. Moderate saltiness. 3. The Big Easy - Generous amounts of protein in one pasta. Prawn, chicken and sausage amounts were well balanced and the spice level only had a small kick as to seemingly keep the focus on the strong marinara base. Sauce was moderately thick and flavour kept its consistency in every bite. 4. The Doors of Perception - If you’re a truffle or cream base lover.. I would recommend getting this. Flavours complimented the light cream on this one. Big fan personally of the truffle oil. Also can’t go wrong with a good meatball. 5. Checkerboard cake - Old family recipe and a huge chocolate cake chunk I HIGHLY recommend anyone coming to Pagliacci’s to order no matter how stuffed you are from the entrees. As soon as you take a bite, you forget you’re full and it’s hard to stop yourself. Enough said on how good their checkerboard is. Portions on all the pastas were huge as always, and prices are fair. The handful of times we have come here, everyone is often in high spirits and you can get lovely interactions and an amazing experience out of this place..especially the busier it is or when they have live music playing. No reservations however so expect to wait outside for over an hour at peak times.

Stopped in for an early lunch. Our server at another restaurant had reccomended we try this place. It's small and crowded, but the food is good and they had live music when we were there. Close to the mall. I had chicken Cesar salad and my friends had seafood lasagna. (Took a pic of our drinks but forgot a picture of the food 🤦🏻‍♀️)

Easily the highlight of our visit warm ambiance and exquisite cuisine and efficient service. We started with the baguette it’s made in house with a crust to die for. the appetizer we had rabbit terrine and it was exquisite. I had the hearty meatballs in polenta which can easily feed two people, my partner had the rockfish special and accompanied with the wine pairing. For the dessert we had the bread pudding it was heavenly.

Good all-around dining experience. We were sat 5 minutes before our reso, our waters were topped up and were checked in with frequently (not too much). Our dishes Generally were all great, kudos to the saucier as all the sauces were divine, especially the daily fish dish and the seared scallops. Speaking of which, i got the scallop dish and despite looking a bit messy was superb, the sauce, the perogies, the scallops, all of it. Lastly, for the dessert, the creme brulee was the creamiest and most texture consistent I've tried and made me want to ask the chef what was their trick. Overall the atmosphere was nice, a mix of natural light from big skylights and cozy warm lighting from candles and chandeliers. Also loved that each and every main / entrée had the option for a half and full size in case you're not as hungry but crave a certain dish. Would recommend and would dine at again.

Nice place and good ambiance. Price is good and you can choose 1/2 plate or full portion. The 1/2 portion was enough for me. The bad thing is the wine. The red wine is too hot. It should be close to 14-15 degrees.

Fantastic dinner for three. It’s been a long time since I’ve been here and it’s even better than I remember - wish I’d been back sooner! We did the ‘family sharing’ for $79pp and didn’t have room for dessert. It’s chef’s choice but I really wanted the halibut so asked our waitress if that was possible? Don’t know if it was already part of it, or she made it happen, but we got it as one of our entrees, the other two were the meatballs on polenta and the gnocchi - all outstanding. Going a bit backwards we’d started with tomato soup (and we all agreed it was the best tomato soup we’d ever had!), a small charcuterie board (special mention to the pate) and a salad; again, all excellent. Highly recommend and will definitely be back much sooner this time.

I went here for a group dinner. I recommend making reservations, as the earliest we could get a table on a Saturday night on short notice was 8:30 p.m. Having said that, the wait was totally worth it. The food here was exquisite. We started with oysters which were served with house made sauces. One thing I really appreciated about this restaurant was that we could order half portions of the main courses. This allowed us to enjoy different things without getting too full. The server let us know about the daily specials, which all sounded superb. I opted for a half portion of the daily fish special. It was divine. I finished with cheese, which was served with quince jelly and artisanal crackers. The server was a total pro and knew just how to manage being attentive without being too much. This was one of the best restaurant experiences I have had in a long while. I totally recommend this place to anyone who loves good food.

Having mixed feelings about this place. The good: I’m impressed by the duck breast dish - the duck was cooked on point: tender meat with crispy skin. The potato stick is super crispy on the outside, although a bit salty. I like that they have wine paring suggestions on the menu, and that they are good. The not so good: The rabbit appetizer turns out to be a rabbit ham-ish piece; it’s novel but we didn’t enjoy that much. The penne dish had good flavor, but the sauce was runny and the pasta itself was meh. The service was suuuuper slow; I can see that everyone was busy but that didn’t justify the wait for almost 30 minutes for main dish. The host needs to work on their communication skills. After checked in for our reservation the host mumbled something and seated the people arrived later than us first. Again I could see that everyone was busy but that shouldn’t mean skipping proper communication to customers.

Another great visit this week. Good lamb and assorted vegies. Previously: Wonderful food and owner. Had the Beet salad, the Contorni, Tomato Salad, Chanterelle Mushroom Risotto, and Lamb feature (4 types). Superb for 2 people.
