My wife and I have been to Spinnakers a few times as we like walking from Dallas Road around to West Bay Marina and Spinnakers is at just the right spot to stop for a drink and a bite along the way. The service though has been a bit unpredictable; we've had great service and we've been treated a little... More

This is a place I often recommend to people visiting Victoria. Their menu is west coast inspired and their beer is great. The chef is creative enough to develop my culinary curiosity. More

Was here on Nov 6 and enjoyed a good meal. Proximity to our hotel brought us in but good service and food will bring us back. Our daughter had the kids portion of Fettucini Alfredo which was very good. Fresh shaved cheese on top and a nice sauce. My wife said she'd have no problem having that and a salad.... More

I, like others noted below, have always considered Spinnakers Brewpub to be one of the top flight of eateries in Victoria. I've visiting this pub since it opened while I was at UVIC. While we did enjoy ourselves there the food just wasn't up to par. Of the 3 meals I ate there over the course of a weekend, I... More

We used to think of Spinnaker's as one of the top choices at which to eat in Victoria. Not any more. On a recent visit, we had the Ratatouille: Good tase, but poor presentation and at $23 far to high-priced for a simple vegetarian entree. A price of $12 - $15 would have been more appropriate. The beef burger was... More

My husband and I just came back from the spinnaker brew pub. We were seated pretty well right away and our waitress came to our table right away. We had a great meal and then the whole evening was ruined. We ordered our dessert and coffee. Our espresso was bitter and lukewarm. We waited for 15 minutes and could not... More

After a tour of the Butterfly Gardens and Buchert Gardens, my husband and I wanted to get away from the crowds, and he wanted some good beer. We wound up here on the other side of the harbor, where we were able to peacefully relax while overlooking the twinkling night lights of the harbor (and our cruise ship). He had... More

Stopped for lunch while on Victoria's beautiful shoreline walk. Great old building, good service, and one of the best BLT's I've ever had. My husband's pulled pork sandwich was tasty as well. Loved the Nut Brown ale! More

We were highly recommended to this place and were sorely disappointed. The food and service were definitely under par. The many different beers were a treat as was the most unusual appetizer I ever had, 6 small tastings of beers paired with 6 local cheeses. That was wonderful. Some of us chose was fish and chips and the fish batter... More
