    The most fun we have had in a long time. Super lively, good comfort food and the band was great. Fantastic service as well. My husband and I can’t wait to come again next time we are in Victoria.

    My only complaint is that the server tells you that you only have 2 hours to complete your meal, which is more than enough, but does not help one relax. I realize that profits are realized through turnover, but still, let's adapt the European way of dining and relax.

    We went for dinner on Valentine's Day and are so glad we did! Everything was perfect, honestly. I can't remember the last time I gave a 5 star (across the board) review but this restaurant deserves it. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. We will definitely be back! The funny thing is that we went here once about 15 years ago and had a so-so experience and never returned even though so many people have raved about it for so long. I'm so glad we gave it another go, just wish we'd done it sooner.

    I sat at the bar this visit, and the staff were top notch, especially being helpful and supportive of a fellow solo woman who had what could have been a difficult situation unfold. Always great service, food is just perfect, stellar experience!
