We stopped in for dinner without reservations. We couldn't get a table outside but did get a table…read moreby the window. It turns out that we had a better table as people outside were cold! Several people were given beach towels by staff to wrap up in to keep warm. Whew! Our lack of planning actually turned out to be a blessing in this case as mid-September nights can be quite chilly! My husband wanted an appetizer and we mentioned that I have a daily intolerance. The server mentioned that they can prepare the mussels, which my husband mentioned, in a coconut milk and red curry sauce like what they do for clams. We really enjoyed them! We soaked the bread in the broth after eating the mussels to enjoy as much as the delicious broth as possible! I decided to order sesame crusted ahi appetizer and a side salad with shrimp as my "entree" and my husband immediately knew he was getting the lemon herb risotto with crab. He enjoyed every bite of it - including the kale!!

Service had a negative impact on our meal. The entrees came well before we finished our apps. The…read morebudda bowl was full of mushrooms which were not mentioned on the menu. When we explained allergy, the server berated us for not telling her about the allergy. That the menu stated "seasonal vegetables" and we should have known that would include mushrooms. When she served the replacement dish, the server said to come that fast it must have been stolen from another table's order. It took about 20 minutes for our dessert to be served, longer than it took our entrees to be prepared. All that said we enjoyed the crab tots and the onion rings, and the lamb shank was a lovely dish. Loved the polenta. The Candy Bar cake was a delicious dessert to share. We weren't as excited about the clam chowder which seemed filled with crackers and potatoes. The Halibut was a generous portion and loved the parsnip chips. But the white fish and white potatoes swimming in a white sauce was not pleasant to look at or eat.

I think my favourite part though was the wonderful service from Anya. We're used to Seattle's cold mannarims but this young lady was so sweet! When it got busy, she was ON IT and so courteous and friendly to every person there. We had a great time and will definitely have to come back.

Crab tots! Deep fried nonetheless. What kind of crazy thing will folks come up with next? And…read morewhen they do, can I please be invited over for dinner? This was the second place we went to that had crab tots on the menu so we threw in the towel and ordered them. Tots? There is nothing tot-like about these deep-fried balls of crabby goodness that showed up at our table. Shaped into balls, these are essentially crab cakes served with two dipping sauces. One sauce was sweet chili sauce and one was a spicier cilantro sauce. Both were very good and we managed to eat most of these before our dinners arrived.

The Pacific Lounge is a great place to meet friends and coworkers near the heart of Victoria. The…read morelounge is replete with tons of cozy loungers and is illuminated as such that u may carry on discrete conversations while enjoying a beer or single malt. Despite the convenience of this being primarily a hotel bar, I would recommend this for locals seeking a waypoint as they make their way to the abundant local culture - be it the parliament building, bay, or BC museum.

Could be a good place but at this point would not go back or recommend. Our server was friendly…read morebut did not check on us after being served. I had to catch her attention to ask for dessert. The total cost of our meal (without alcohol), was not the second issue. The two main entrees we ordered were. Two couples each split a meal because the description we were given was that it was a large portion. We and the other couple each ordered the $36 scallop and noodle meal. I can't remember the name of it but I believe it was the most expensive on the menu, maybe. I will say the restaurant was nice enough to split them ahead of time. However, our plates had the following... mine with two scallops and some noodles, my wife's with one scallop and some noodles. Our two friends received the same accordingly. The taste was wonderful but that meant a $36 entree had three scallops and not a lot of noodles; that is it. Perhaps I expect more than I should but I am not one to shy away from an expensive meal now and again. This I would expect from a high end restaurant but this is not a high end restaurant. Overall: Good tasting Poor follow up from waitress Way too much money for what you receive (especially this entree) ...doesn't matter who you are. The other items we ordered were , in my opinion, not terribly priced but somewhat still. Perhaps it is just Washington's crazies and the fact I am on an island but...???.... At this point I would give this place a 2 out of 5

We love sitting on the couch by the fire or in the lounge by the windows overlooking the bay. I love the appetizers...especially the oysters and the lettuce wraps.

Juicy and delicious. Also the steak salad. Really good! Have a great time and tell them Tim sent ya! ;)

All were good and well made, but a couple felt slightly out of balance, keeping them from hitting the excellent tier. Service: Attentive, professional, and engaged.

Comfortable and easy to settle into. What could be better: Tighter balance and consistency in the cocktails. A small refinement would make a noticeable difference here.
