WAY convenient if staying at the Hotel Grand Pacific. Beautiful indoor & outdoor seating (try and sit on the heated outdoor patio). Came here for breakfast x2 and dinner. Breakfast was good - yoghurts, continental style, etc. Recommend the pancakes (3 cakes) so you can try Alberta maple syrup. Dinner was a leisurely-paced (2hr) affair. Waiter was outstanding. Started with the Mezze platter with hummus. Unfortunately the hummus lacked flavor. The "short rib" wasn't a typical short rib. It was sous vide at 65 Celsius (~150 F) for a nice medium steak. A bit fatty but good overall. Ended with a chocolate torte, which was fantastic. Definitely come, if a bit pricey. read more

Fathom - Mezze appetizer with lavash, olives, pickled & raw vegetables, white bean hummus - Canadian (New) Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

The service/waiter was spectacular. And the food was exceptional. I ordered the seafood bisque. Not sure what they are using, but i suspect some kind of seafood based oil. Because I could sea a small layer of oil on the bisque, which I think is where the deep, rich seafood flavor (i.e. lobster flavor) was coming from. The seafood pasta had the same lobster flavors as well. Must try this place again. read more

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Grand Pacific for 3 nights. Our first night dined from the more limited menu of Fathom and neither of us were pleased. My spouse had the chuck and brisket/bacon burger with fries. The chef would not prepare it medium but well done only. Complaints were a dry, possibly pre formed and frozen meat patty...the veggies were necessary for moisture. I had the buttermilk chicken "schnitzel" with fennel salad and potatoes. The fennel salad consisted of 2 1/2 thin shaves of fennel. The potatoes were good. The chicken was most likely 3 oz and pounded literally as thin as paper and deep fried within an inch of its life! The dish was small or meager size and I don't need a lot to feel satisfied but simply didn't with this dish of greasy, overcooked paper thin chicken. Ugh. Chocolate torte for dessert....although thin, it was rich and delicious. We shared the white bean mezze for a starter, the hummus was good and the pickled carrots very good. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice, dark with deep colors and chill. The feeling we had was this restaurant trying to be a 5-star, chic culinary adventure (small portions but amazing food); however they fell very short. Unfortunately this hotel offers no other kitchen or menu for guests and room service. You won't find a delicious and varied menu here...you are stuck with Fathom. Do yourselves a favor and enjoy a culinary adventure outside of the hotel - every restaurant we have dined in (every time we ferry over to BC) has been yummy, with the exception of Fathom. read more

Enjoyed a delicious meal tonight with family at Fathom. Best hotel restaurant in ages. Lori, our server was fantastic. The host and chef answered our many questions addressing gluten allergies that some of our family members have. We enjoyed the wonderful Gem Salad, the Chicken Schnitzel, the Seafood Pasta and the Salmon. The side dishes and sauces were next level. Haven't had a dinner this good in a long time. The restaurant itself had great ambience. Sorry we didn't take photos of the food. But everyone licked their plates clean. Fabulous meal! read more

I ordered the sablefish. It was delicious but my friend ordered the seafood pasta and I'm jealous that her meal is larger. We shared ice cream for dessert. They only have vanilla and chocolate to choose from but they make it in house and it's so good. read more

It is really pretty in here. I called on a late Sunday afternoon to see if they have a happy hour. The host was so helpful & encouraging. We all walked over & had a great time. We did not eat, but we did have a couple drinks. Very good, served by a wonderful server. We sat in a beautiful,comfortable area between the bar & the restaurant. I highly recommend coming here, enjoying their beautiful space & have a drink. Enjoy! read more

So this is a place to see and be seen...but not to eat. I ordered a seared salmon dinner,and the star of the meal fell flat on its fin. At first I thought it wasn't seared at all just looking at it, but my first bite verified that it was seared...barely. The disappointment came when I dove deeper and found an overcooked, dry salmon. Terrible. When the server asked how our food was he literally treaded water just long enough for my wife to gurgle a reply and then swam off before I could say anything. He was fishy..condescending and polite, sarcastic and deprecating. His subtle humor, which I quite enjoyed, could not raise his water mark for me. I was told two different stories about how the beer taps were not working. Our server I believe lied through his gills and Tod us that the beer lines froze the night before. It was around 58 degrees F the night before. Liar liar. My wife orders the barada. The star of the dish was excellent, but the greens were covered with an inedible side of greens. They had what could best be described as a briny vinaigrette suitable for brine shrimp or a salt vampire. Even my wife who salts almost everything could not eat it. read more

The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The service was attentive and professional, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. This place is truly a hidden gem. I honestly didn't expect a restaurant inside a hotel to be this good, but it exceeded all my expectations. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it. read more

We were a little worried because it was a hotel restaurant and we have been less than impressed with restaurants in other hotels where we've stayed, but we were wowed by our experience at Fathom. The ambiance is very classy with indoor and outdoor seating. Our server (Inga) was very helpful and accommodating. The food was amazing! The pork belly and the gem salad were a wonderful start. We shared the steak from the larger plates option. It was perfect for us! The steak was high quality and prepared just like we wanted (medium rare). The accompanying sauce was also delicious. The food was prepared by a chef, not just a cook. Highly recommend! read more

Three breakfasts! Yum! Three times. And one happy hour: great sofa and music. Enjoy and relax! Service was very good too.

We enjoyed the fondue and pork belly. The coffee was decent and our waitress was spot on. The cocktails were a little lacking but all in all it was very nice. read more

We were staying in the hotel and decided to try their restaurant for breakfast since their dinner menu didn't have many options we were interested in. I love eggs Benedict so I enjoy trying different ones. This one was okay, I think the thick sliced fresh Mozzarella didn't work because I could t really taste the other ingredients. However the fries/hashbrowns were AMAZING! Also, I'm not a big fan of breakfasts that are too sweet so I was nervous about the tiramisu pancakes. They were delicious! They were light and because it's coffee wasn't overly sweet. We also got a nice table by the window overlooking the water but they also have outdoor seating. Service was fast amd attentive. read more

My review is for Fathom Lounge. We enjoyed the afternoon social hour small plates and cocktail specials. The outdoor patio lounge was very inviting with fire pits, heat lamps and blankets. (There are also window seats inside if you miss those coveted spots.) We enjoyed beef tare tare on potato and some lovely calamari. The service is very personable and professional. We dined elsewhere so I can't speak to main dishes. We came back in the evening twice on our trip. Was slightly bummed there is not a late nite happy hour here like some bars, (you may consider that in future.) Fathom lounge has an excellent classic cocktail, wine and beer offerings. The bartenders are some of the best mixologists I have come across. One of the bartenders clued me in on a mezcal manhattan, it was an incredibly smooth smokey excellence in a glass. Another evening we had a different bartender, craft the best sazarac, from the menu it had touchs like spray of absinthe that elevated this cocktail! (yes, I know, I enjoy old man cocktails! lol) Both times i've visited the service has been excellent! The ambiance is on point, comfortable seating, dimly lit and simply one of the coolest chill cocktail spots in town. I look forward to trying more of their menu in the future. read more

Oh-my, good food. This restaurant is inside a hotel, but it's not your average hotel food! The spin on Northwest cuisine is perfect! The heaters out on the patio are fabulous! Our waiter did great with helping me select a dinner that could accommodate my food allergy(cow dairy). Only reason I did not give full stars is because cigarettes smoke would waft into the patio area, gross. read more

We had dinner in the lounge. Great menu of small plates and entrées. Excellent ambience, with reasonable lighting and sound levels. We particularly liked the spicy tuna bites, and the chicken.

Ok, I gave Fathom a 4 star rating because it is pricey, and the dinner menu is not that great! We received outstanding service both times we ate at the restaurant but the breakfast was much better! We had eggs Benedict and it was very good! Our Breakfast was $50 and we didn't have any drinks so it was a little more than I wanted to pay but location, location, location! We were staying in the hotel and we didn't want to go out, so the price was reasonable for the convenience! All-in-all, an ok place to eat but we found several nicer places to eat within walking distance. read more

It is always a treat to have a meal at Fathom. The service, ambience and great food choices.

In Victoria, where the harbor views gleam, Fathom's a spot where you can dine and dream. With seafood so fresh and flavors divine, Each dish on the menu is simply sublime. Calamari? Oh, it's crispy perfection, The best you'll find, a culinary reflection. And the spicy tuna bites, unique as can be, With nori tempura and a salty sea breeze. Sipping cocktails like the Old Fashioned so neat, In a space that's cozy, a true dining treat. On the patio, or inside, it's hard to decide, Both spots have charm, and excellent vibes! For happy hour specials, the prices are great, Pair your drinks with some seafood on your plate. Service is friendly, the atmosphere fine, At Fathom, you'll always have a wonderful time! read more

Service-excellent. Ambience-fair. The restaurant was a little noisy when we dined, and the music coming from the lounge was not at all relaxing. Food-Very good. Steak entree was very generous and perfectly cooked. Sablefish was well seasoned and cooked beautifully. Broccolini was tough. Loved the use of microgreens. Dessert-only fair but we both had ice cream. The chocolate lacked flavor and was not creamy like you'd expect from a high end restaurant. Value-good Overall, a good choice. read more

Amazing service, beautiful setting. Tried the subzero gin martini and it was perfect! Started with the white humus with chive oil, and a fun assortment of dipping vegetables. Had the sablefish main dish and it was cooked to perfection! read more

Located in the lobby of Hotel Grand Pacific. Came for happy hour on a Sunday. Beautiful interior design (and a nice outdoor patio) with such unique dishes! Following are happy hour prices: Calamari($18) - Excellent, thick, lightly breaded strips. Not greasy at all. Spicy Tuna Bites ($14) - really unique, came on a giant crispy "nori tempura" and was served in this salty sand bread crumb mixture. Crab Cake ($20) - do not recommend. Very polite staff. read more

Awesome place for a nice dinner in Victoria's Inner Harbor. Located inside the Hotel Grand Pacific, they offer a stylish, upscale ambiance. They focus on Northwest seafood and offer a carefully crafted cocktail menu. I went with the scallops with beluga lentils & asparagus, but the sable fish & ahi tuna looked excellent as well. For dessert, the pebbles & moss was artfully presented and delicious. The bartender provided great recommendations for drinks to pair with the food. Highly recommended for a date night, celebration, or just a memorable meal. read more

The seafood here is incredible! Love the vibes and the service! The price is also very reasonable.

I was very excited to try this restaurant after it popped up on my instagram feed and saw the elegant dining room, I knew I had to try! I started with the Pina Noir, a rum cocktail that was sweet but still sultry. The chicken karaage was juicy and flavourful, the tartare smoke bowl was fun for the experience! My scallops were amazing, and the bison steak was presented beautifully. The service was what you would expect. Next time I would sit in the lounge over the dining room. The dining room was lacking energy where the lounge seems more intimate and "happening", with more decor as well. Looking forward to joining again. read more

A last minute find for us. We ordered the milk bun roll, beef tartare, tuna bites, scallops, and the strawberry yuzu pillow. Visually everything looked phenomenal. Taste-wise everything was delicious. Hands down the best beef tartare we've ever had. And what a presentation! The scallops were perfectly done and paired with a very flavorful mousse. Overall the ambiance was fantastic (recently finished a 14-month renovation and everything is gorgeous), service was friendly and knowledgeable, and food was our favorite from our weekend in Victoria. read more

An amazing meal. The seafood soup was the best I have ever had. Very large portion, but i ate every drop. The salmon was equally as good. But best part of the meal was the al fagato. My favorite desert and this was amazing, surpassing anything I have had before. Great service, beautiful facility. read more

The food is very pretentious and expensive. Seating is in couches making it hard to sit and eat. I had the tuna. The tuna was good but the vegetables/salad was mostly kelp. What you see in the picture is a micro layer of greens on a bed of inedible kelp. My wife had the scallops with risotto. The risotto was slimy, mushy, and tasted like foamed clam seawater. So yourself a favor and head to Irish times or Bard and Banker. read more

Really enjoy the breakfast at Grand Pacific Hotel. Comfortable seating and lovely ambiance. The crab cake benny was great but the highlight is always the potato wedges! So crispy and flavorful.

Fathom for date night? Yes indeed give it a try! The greeting was warm and welcoming and the environment felt relaxed and super comfortable. The menu is very focused which made me think it would all have the attention and focus to deliver each dish in a quality manner. And, I was not disappointed, in fact thrilled. For a starter we shared the smoked beef tartare which was a show in itself. A campfire in a huge fishbowl with a generous helping that we thoroughly enjoyed. My partner had the scallops with risotto which was served in a beautiful presentation including an edible scallop shell made from phyllo dough. It was rich and the scallops were perfectly cooked. I chose the spaghetti made with squid ink pasta and served with lovely prawns and a spicy sauce. The wine list was complimentary to the food and I also had a zero alcohol Rented Mule which was fun and delicious. Enjoy Fathom! read more

Food was great. Large appetizer portions. We really loved the chicken karage, beef tartar, and the drinks. I wasn't in love with the calamari appetizer or sablefish entree, but I thought they were good. Cocktails were also very nice. Service was top notch. The waiter was attentive, did a great job at making recommendations, and prompt with food and drink. The space is beautiful! It's inside the Hotel Grand Pacific. We stayed at the hotel in 2019 (Fathom wasn't there at that time) and thought the rooms were a bit dated, but the lobby and restaurant decor is classic and well maintained. read more

First time here while visiting Victoria BC. We ordered to go, so we can't comment on the ambiance or service. Can say the portions are large, love the fresh and unique flavors, comfy-filling food. The mushroom miso risotto was full of complimentary flavors. NY steak cooked medium well and melted in our mouths. The octopus was so soft and came with plenty of vegetables. The spicy level was perfect. The seafood chowder was quite smooth, but the dill was a little strong. Masking some of the other flavors a little. All entrees were approved by us and our 2 year. Definitely would recommend. read more

What an excellent find! We grabbed a table at 12:25pm on a Father's Day Sunday, needing to be back across the street at the ferry terminal by 1:30pm for immigration/customs, and the kind folks at Fathom did an excellent job. I got a Caesar beverage -- good and spicy -- and we got a chorizo and bacon hash, chicken sandwich, and a classic eggs Benedict. All were served with flavorful home fries, and they were all really delicious; the portions were generous and the hollandaise was on point. I particularly liked the great spice level of the hash. The decor was elegant and classy without being fussy. It was the perfect Father's Day brunch! read more
