FINN’S SEAFOOD, CHOPS & COCKTAILS REVIEWS

Fantastic dinner for our first night in Victoria! Beautiful heritage building and great food. My partner got the seafood linguine and I had the rare Ahi tuna. It was absolutely delicious! Our server was exceptional too, it was his first week at Finn's but he really knew what he was doing. Thanks for the great night.

Really good tasting food and exceptional service. We've been to this location before when it was the previous restaurant, but we haven't been since it's changed to Finn's. I have to say the food at Finn's is substantially better than what the previous restaurant there served.

Beautiful atmosphere by the water. The food was delicious and the service was great. Our waitress was very helpful. We think her name is Emma. She was great. We had the shrimp tacos with the sauces on the side, and my husband had the Fish and Chips. He highly recommends, the Finn's Lager if you like beer.

FERRIS' UPSTAIRS SEAFOOD + OYSTER BAR REVIEWS

Absolutely a must go! Great happy hour menu options. Friendly staff. Oysters are so fresh it’s like you can taste the sea! Definitely will bring all my friends back here again! Outdoor seating area is also really cute with a wooden coastal ambience.

We started out with the one dozen raw oysters and they were delicious! We could have eaten another dozen but ordered the Humboldt squid, Malaysia Curry Mussels and Pan-fried oysters instead. All of the dishes were tasty. The Humboldt squid was nice and tender. We highly recommend Ferris's for great seafood.

We came for a late dinner after a chilly sunset whale watching trip. The Bouillabaisse and Seafood Laksa were exactly what we needed. The service & ambience were great too.

FISHHOOK REVIEWS

Great flavours and great service! The food was so appetizing with good portion sizes. The staff are absolutely lovely here; they were very helpful in recommending us the cardamom creme brûlée, which was a lovely way to end our meal. One of the staff members even offered to let me charge my phone when he noticed that my battery was getting low while helping to take our photo. Thanks so much for going above and beyond.

The food is good here will be an understatement. We ordered salmon and halibut fish and chips, their famous belly sandwich, fishhook chowder and seafood hotpot. Each and every item tasted heavenly and great portion size. The server was very pleasant and attentive. The chef (Mohit) was greeting guests personally and giving great suggestions. Highly recommended.

We had the halibut fish and chips, chowder and salmon belly sandwich and everything was incredible. The staff were friendly and gave us recommendations and really made our lunch as enjoyable as they could. I really appreciate when I see someone passionate about their craft and this place had it all. Best fish and chips we had on the island.
