   Poor lighting and too much ambient noise to enjoy our meals.

   We sat at the bar, the food and service were quite good. My duck was done to perfection and the salads were fresh and very tasty. My husband had the tagliatelle and wasn’t as happy with it, I tasted it and it was great. The miniature crème brule was just the right size! Would have been a higher score if we were at a table and my husband would have been happy with his dinner.

   This was our first visit back since Greg Hays retired from this wonderful restaurant. It is still the gem it always was. Our waitress (I believe Carissa) was excellent and didn't miss a thing in making sure our dining experience was great, even though it was a full house that evening. We dined early as we were off to the Victoria Symphony, so we actually got to order their early bird special dinner which had several options and was a 3 course meal. It was excellent. We have been here many times over the years and will continue as it is really a Victoria gem in so many respects -- ambience, location, food, wine and service, and prices that are very fair for what you get. A strong recommendation from me for sure.

   One of the best restaurants I have been to in Victoria! The food was beautifully plated and perfectly cooked as well as very flavorful. The value for this three course meal as part of their early bird special was incredible. Service was also amazing and very attentive. Strongly recommend this wonderful restaurant!

   We were shown to a quiet private table..?and waited on at once. Our food arrived in a timely fashion. It was really tasty however the mushroom risotto was just rice with mushrooms on top but it was delicious. I had a 1/2 order of scallops and received 2 scallops with 2 bacon perogies. Again very tasty but I expected more food for $24.00. The beet salad was a good portion and excellent. Would we return? Yes but we would order something different.

   Hi Gord Thank you for your candid review and feedback. I am happy to hear that you found the risotto, scallops and the beet salad tasty. But I am sorry you found the scallop portion underwhelming. We look forward to getting the opportunity to impress you in the future. All the best - The Cafe Brio Team

   Superb as always. Butter lettuce salad and beet salad excellent, and lamb (4 ways) special was out of this world. I had the half portion and it was plenty. Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert is a sinful must!

   The food was excellent. The only issue was the size of the meal. We ordered off the set menu and the starter salad was too big for a starter. We all ordered the half order for the main and that was minuscule.. like a kids meal. Two fingerling potatoes and a 2” square of fish is not a satisfying meal for an adult. We felt ripped off especially since we’d all been looking so forward to our evening out. Our suggestion would be make the salad smaller and make the half order a meal for an adult or just take away the half order if it’s not going to satisfy a normal adult appetite.
