    After a slow introduction the service was very good - welcoming, informative and knowledgeable. Staff relocated us to a window table when it came free - at their suggestion. And the food was good! Quiet venue.

    We usually stop by here for one of the nights in Victoria which happen a few times a year. As always the service is excellent and knowledgable plus they ensure that any ingredient questions due to my wife’s dietary restrictions are checked with the kitchen staff. I had the lobster Risotto which excellent (tough to make that successfully at home) and my wife had the hamburger which does not contain any onion which my wife cannot have and comes with bacon so whats not to like there !!. We will return on our next visit

    There was a large party on the far side of the restaurant that was so loud it was hard to hold a conversation. The kitchen was also quite slow. Our server was attentive and the food was good, but not sure I would spend a vacation dinner here again

    Perfect spot for two midlife couples to enjoy a delicious meal, view of the harbour and hear each other speak. Not “fancy” but really nice if that makes sense. Our server gave us lots of space but attended at the right moments to do his job.

    My guest and I had lunch at the blue crab. Nice harbor view from windows. My guest ordered the crabs cakes salad and I got the fish and chips. Our server said the crab was sautéed, not fried. My fish was good but fries on the mushy side. Not cut from potatoes. When the crab dish came there was one of cakes even though the menu said 2. Our sever said that was because it was a bigger one. The cakes looked deep fried like my fish. The server said it was pan sautéed but we disagreed. She took it back and my guest ordered the salmon burger which she enjoyed. Server was nice about making the switch. Restaurant is in a hotel a bit away from the central downtown area.
