We have visited twice recently and both times we had great food and the service was good and a bit entertaining. The first visit we had nachos and the serving was big enough for four!We definitely found fault, but chose to be entertained instead of upset.The second time had us rolling our eyes as the waitress proceeded to drop dishes she was clearing on the patio behind my seat, with some food scraps landing under my seat. She wisely left it to clean up later and I didn’t move my chair much. Little chickadee size birds did a lot of the cleanup which I thought was kinda cute.My only negative comment is that the wait staff and bus staff haven’t a clue how to wipe a table so it’s CLEAN for the next diners. After noticing how they cleaned our table, I watched the others clean’ other tables and was kinda aghast. Their cleaning cloths were not rinsed between tables and crumbs and messes from one table we’re transferred to the next. The same cloths seemed to be used over and over with a spritzer, but without ever rinsing the cloth out. Spray is great but it doesn’t clean off the cloth of all the debris and grime from the prior tables. Also the noise when clearing was something else! Crash bang went the cutlery and crockery into the bus pans on the patio. I used to train wait staff at the Officer’s Mess and I know that these chores can be accomplished with less disruption to your diners.Anyway we will come back and see if things improve. The menu is good and the servers, while apparently inexperienced, are kinda sweet.

Awful. I never leave bad reviews. This place was so bad I had to say something. It was 20$ for a poutine with congealed gravy. Our waitress didn’t bring us forks. I had to go get them. And soda water was 5$.

-Great location with harbour view from their beautiful patio.-Food is okay with reasonable price-Service is very very slow. We asked 3 times for water and at last my wife had to go herself to get it

While it looks like a beautiful garden oasis with harbor views in Old Town Victoria, inside this place is a traditional sports bar.Great place for late day drinks and appetizers or pub food.We had a charming waitress who provided great service in this busy, popular place. All the waitresses were in lovely sundresses of their own choosing, surrounded by flowers on the perimeter and hanging in baskets from above. It definitely exuded a welcoming, charming ambiance.We drank a local brew and the Cadillac Margarita ($16), enjoyed a tasty flatbread and enjoyed the water views while people-watching on this outdoor patio, nestled in the corner of a bustling location.Friday's special is a flatbread and a beer for $25.Lots of other options, including the $29 Mile High Nachos.Beautiful setting and well worth a stop on a lovely day.

We went here on a gorgeous day in Victoria. The drinks were tasty. I had The Local Lemonade and my husband had a mojito. We stopped in for a snack and shared the Stanley Cup Poutine and a pound of hot wings. The wings were fried to perfection and the gravy on the fries was delicious! The service was wonderful as well. Everyone was working hard to make sure everyone had what they needed.

We came here during the semifinals of the world cup and the atmosphere was incredible. World cup aside, this place was recommended to us by other restaurants and we decided we had to try it.The food, beer and service was all top notch and all of the staff we spoke to was exceptional. After the match we somehow ended up speaking to the owner, Jeremy, and he seemed as if he really cared about his pub and the people and the staff.I couldn't rate the experience any better and next time we're in Victoria we'll definitely come back.Thanks for the experience
