As a local, you get to know the great places fast. This has been our favourite seafood restaurant since it opened. It is dark, romantic and the food is outstanding. If you are looking for fresh seafood by the waterfront, this place is it. Exceptional in every single way. more

I ate here in November, 2009. The food was delicious. The prawns with brown butter appetizer was excellent. The waitress was very helpful with selection ideas. more

Clearly the coolest place in town, but the food should match. Trout was poor & after enquiry from waitress, changed to haibut. My wife sent it back. just cooked is one thing, but it was uncooked, & would not flake. Modern chef's have strange ideas. Or is it us? 3rd time lucky! Didn't seem too Italian & for fish, after... more

We spent 4 nights in Victoria...and ate dinner at Pescatores 3 of them! Every dish we had was great. Love the rainbow martinis (though I tried, couldn't make it all the way around the rainbow). Definitely indulge in the chocolate fondue for dessert. YUM. Great fish and seafood, wonderful atmosphere, and we can't say enough nice things about the staff.... more

I started with a dozen oysters which were excellent. We shared Seafood Dinner for Two and it was very good. Everything was fresh and well-prepared but the presentation allowed some things to overcook a little or become cold. It was a good choice for us since we wanted to sample the many local seafood possibilities. Next time we will be... more

On the first night of our honeymoon in Victoria, my wife and I visited Pescatore's. We were early for our reservation and were immediately seated in the busy dining room. Our server was extremely helpful, attentive and friendly and offered food and drink suggestions. My wife had a "yellow" and an "orange" martini from the list of "rainbow martinis". She... more

An interesting menu and great staff make this a place "not to be missed if you can avoid it" restaurant. Great for seafood and judging by the menu, nice for non seafood lovers as well. more

Based on TripAdvisor reviews, we chose Pescatore's Fish House for lunch on a day trip to Victoria. The food was very good and plated well. My wife has the Oysters Rockafella and clam chowder, while I chose the Soup 1-1-1 (a three-soup sampler) and seafood salad. The chowders and prawn bisque were very good - taste, texture and aroma. The... more

We enjoyed this place from the minute we walked in the door. It has an interesting, fun, retro atmosphere and the staff seems to truly enjoy being there and passes that on to the customers. We had no reservations and we had no problem. The seafood is local and fresh and they prepare it with some interesting, unexpected twists. My... more

Anybody who rates this restaurant as 3 or less did not have the same experience that we had. In ordering the appetizer, we couldn't decide on the three different cooked oysters. The waitress kindly offered the option of one of each. All 3 were wonderful and good sized. I had the crab cakes and they may have been the best... more
