Our first night in Victoria and looking for a place to dine not too far from our hotel. Hadn't check Tripadvisor which I normally do before visiting a city.

5 of us has dinner here on Aug 19, 2008. Food focuses on locally grown produce, meats and wines. Everything we had was unique, original and special. Dessert choices were incredible.

Not within the traditional tourist sphere of Victoria--just slightly beyond... more

I love this restaurant, one of my absolute faves. Go for a nice long multicourse dinner and a bottle of wine. The staff are wonderful, very knowledgeable and genuinely enjoy what they are doing. If there is sticky toffee pudding for desert, order it! more

I took my wife for her birthday. We opted for the 3 course Chef's Early Dinner. Both of us chose the roasted squash soup as our first course and were disappointed with it. The squash didn't seem to have much presence in the flavor and the soup seemed more watery than creamy. My wife had pan roasted rockfish with caper... more

High-End restaurant with superb food and atmosphere. Expensive but worth it. Advice during winter, always reserve a table well away from the door, it can be chilly! more
