I thought I'd return, to use the cards and also give them another chance. Well, it will be my last time. The overall staff "vibe" is too busy doing whatever to help. We ordered some mortadella from the deli, didn't specify the thickness and wasn't asked, we came home to find it cut super thick (think bologna). Our fault for not specifying. $19 for 500g We then asked for a loaf of raisin bread. It was listed for $7.25 yet on the receipt it was $9..... A $8 bag of crouton sticks and we ventured to the cafe. This time knowing better we didn't order hot food. A few cookies and a mocha. This was fine, however the mocha seemed to lack mocha... was very pale in colour, not sure if it was missed or just weak. Not sure this will matter to anyone as the store seems to have a very loyal following and is busy. But we won't be back again.

I had breakfast here with my daughter. As part of our stay, we were entitled to a free elite…read morecontinental breakfast, but chose to take the value credit to order other items instead: - Beef Hash: Good. I think it used the same sauce as the Shakshuka, so it has a bit of heat. Potatoes were still crispy. Generous portion size. My only observation was the beef was cubed, when I normally see it shredded - the use of cubes makes it feel more like leftovers. - Crepes: Very good. My daughter devoured them. She's normally a slow eater, but she ate it really quickly, which meant it was very good. Service was nice, but given how quiet it was, the food came out very slow. I would say close to 20 minutes. The restaurant has a giant window panels overlooking the golf course, which is a spectacular view on a sunny morning. It's also a nice, looking restaurant. The final bill was slightly confusing as they add a partial service charge, but it amounted to small percentage that wasn't close to a standard 15-18% tip. I think it was supposed to reflect an inclusive tip that was covered by the free breakfast voucher, but I'm not sure. Just required a little math. Overall, it was better than I had expected. Beautiful space and good food. I would return to the hotel and the restaurant.

I was told that during peak hours sometime before the fireworks show that this place would be overcrowded with long lines, so my family and I decided to eat here at around 5pm to beat all of that. The inside looks like a fancy restaurant with so much natural light coming inside that it feels more like eating inside a greenhouse given all the plant life inside. It's relatively well-kept inside too. You eat here cafeteria style; you grab whatever salads and desserts are already premade just before you order your entree up at the front. You take a number after you place your entree order and servers will bring your food to your table. Napkins, utensils and water are all self-serve. I got their noodles for $26. This is a Shanghai noodle dish with lemongrass and ginger marinated beef, a creamy peanut sauce and some pickled veggies. I could describe this dish as a deconstructed banh mi or even a knockoff bò né (Vietnamese steak and eggs in a skillet) but without the baguette. The vegan option of this dish - which had grilled portobello instead of lemongrass beef - wasn't too bad either when I had a small taste, and still retained the peanut-buttery goodness that I loved. I wish portions were larger though, as I could have gone for even more of this dish. I haven't tried their other dishes here, but with just this noodle dish you can still get pretty full. It's less expensive than places like Cheesecake Factory when considering monetary conversions, so portion sizes do scale here all right.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Decent food and good service meet good…read moreprices (for downtown Victoria) at Frank's - recommended if you're looking for something quick and low-key when downtown! === 2. FOOD Full Breakfast ($15.99) Three eggs your way, two bacon, two sausage, one ham, two slices of toast, and your choice of hash browns or grilled tomato are included - good for one person or perhaps one person with a lighter appetite sharing with a small child. Western Omelette ($13.49) Ham, bell peppers, and onions mix in with the eggs along with hash browns and two slices of toast - it was decent! Note: toast comes with one packet of jam only - not sure if you can get more and/or peanut butter... Honeybuns ($2.49 each) It's a Chinese-style cocktail bun - it's a little small on the outside, but with plenty of sesame seeds on top. It's typical of what Victoria's Chinatown used to serve commonly 20 years ago. Only have the inside has the coconut topping, which already makes it pretty sweet, the rest is nice, soft doughy goodness. Recommended. They also serve lunch options; a small Chinese buffet of seven or eight items (noodle, rice, and 5-6 entrees) are available - catering to the taste of those looking for Western-oriented Chinese cuisine. === 3. SERVICE Frank is the previous owner; Henry and others now run the joint and he was very friendly. His service and the food was relatively quick. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's cozy, with mirrors on one wall and display cases for food and seating at the window bar style or at tables of 2 or four in the middle. You might be able to bring a big group here, but you'd take up all of the space. It's very clean (windows, mirrors, and all) and relatively bright, so it's welcoming. One could bring wheelchairs and baby strollers but it may be a bit of a squeeze without being near the front door. Parking is limited to whatever you can find on the street (at downtown city rates - which aren't crazy at about $3.75 for an hour).

I like that there were trivia cards on the table for you to entertain yourself while you wait for your food. The staff was very nice and attentive. I got the What the Cluck fried chicken and stuffed fries pancakes. I did see the reviews saying the portions were huge but this could've definitely fed 2. For $23, I think this was a steal. I only was able to finish one layer of waffles, the piece of chicken, and some potatoes in my sitting and had to pack them for later. The pancakes had herbs (green onions I think?) stuffed in between which was interesting and I didn't expect it. My two complaints about the meal are that the outer coating of the fried chicken was overfried, resulting in a darker coat and the chicken to be slightly tougher, and that there was only one small piece of chicken. It definitely is a potato-centric portion, with loads of fries and side potatoes. I think if I was to come back, I wouldn't get this again but it settled my curiosity. My partner enjoyed her eggs benedict.
