I had lunch at Earls today with my friend. A few times we mentioned how good the service was. It started off with a young man named Maguire that seated us, made sure we were happy with the table he gave us, and explained the menu to us. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Food was ready quickly and we both were very happy with our meals. Drinks from the bar were very tasty and nicely presented. Great dining experience from beginning to end.

About the restaurant

The heritage site of the old Saanich Municipal Hall, is where the Med Grill calls home.
At 100 years old, the building holds generations of memories and history which we proudly showcase in the hallways of our restaurant. Committed to serving our community, we have been a local Victoria favourite since we opened in 1997.
We carefully infused our style of chic yet cozy west-coast vibe with the delicious flavours of the Mediterranean.
Whether cozy by the fire in the fall, or patio parties in the sunshine, we are sure you will love it here at Med Grill!

My husband and I were looking for a restaurant that was outside of our usual rotation, and I had never been to Med Grill before. Loved every aspect of it. The food was delicious, our server was so friendly and the environment was warm, festive and very inviting. We both agreed that this will now be a part of our regular date night spots! Thanks for a great experience!

We had a fabulous gal's lunch on Friday at Boom and Batten. We were seated at table #34 on the upper level. Our server was amazing! Our water glasses were filled before the glasses were empty, and the same applied for our coffee cups. Although the food was a little pricey every bite was delicious! The restaurant was quite busy but we were able to hear each other talk . I will definitely be returning!
