Coastal cabin food for modern times. We are a tucked away portal to experiencing the rustic riches of Vancouver Island, in the middle of Victoria’s downtown core.

Micro Minuscule oysters. About the size of a quarter. Average everything else (pear endive salad, ricotta honey toast, tater tots, beef tartare) Ok ambiance. Uninterested servers. Meh at best.

Wonderful service, accommodated our group to another table as the noise with large tables and bar was very energetic.

Food and service were very good. Quick and efficient without being pushy. High marks for the tots, fried chicken & fresh baked cookies! Very loud room but understandable with the time/night we were there. Cocktails on point and wine selection leans heavily BC based.

It had been awhile since we’ve been and were reminded what a fabulous experience esp the lack of loud music which promotes better dinner conversation. The staff was wonderfully attentive.

One of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. Food was perfect! Service was perfect! We could feel the pride the host, serving, and kitchen staff had in providing quality service and an overall superior dining experience. We are definitely coming back, even as out of towners.

We were visiting from Vancouver and had heard good things. Great ambience, cocktails and the food was delicious. They also had a Gluten Free menu for us which was appreciated since 2 people in our party were celiac. Would return for sure!

Food and service were fantastic. Atmosphere is where it loses marks unfortunately. It is so loud in the back room and cold with the door to the patio opening often. It’s also unusually dark in all parts of this restaurant, to the point that I saw multiple diners using their phone or the fake candle on the table to read the menu. I’ll probably still return for the food but I really wish they would add noise dampening features and address the poor lighting.
