    We asked for a different table when offered the 1st 2 choices and the front of house guy was 1st class, I do not normally do that but wanted a perfect dining experience with my wife and ensure her comfort. The service was above 1st class, Shannon should do training as she was SO good. Food was excellent and Philips lager on tap was great.

    Nice staff, very attentive. Potatoes were served raw/uncooked fully. We asked reheat or cook them properly and were told no. Unable to hear in the restaurant. Came to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and it was so loud. Staff are kind but would not recommend for a special occasion.

    Items were well plated and presented; coursing and pace through the meal was very good. Thoroughly enjoyed everything, but the ribeye, tuna, and endive salad in particular. Wonderful vibe in the room, and service was very good and respectful of our conversations.

    We opted for the chef tasting menu as we were pretty tired after walking around beautiful Victoria all day. It started with a delectable rice cake, aioli with caviar. That was my favourite. Then, came the seared tuna which was delicious, followed by a buttery salmon. The duck beast was delicious on its own, but the dish had too many ingredients. I would have like it to have focused on the duck. Great service and atmosphere.
