High-quality and fresh seafood with nice patio seating under sun umbrellas. I loved the oyster platter - clean, fresh, and with fresh horseradish and vinegar. Fish and chips were not bad either. Going back to appetizers the prawn tacos were okay (prawns were fresh and each taco came with two). The salmon spread was tasty read more

We came here with a group of 11 during our vacation. They took reservations and were able to accommodate our huge family without any issues. I'll admit I was a little skeptical at first -- it's right on the harbor and surrounded by tourist attractions, which usually screams "tourist trap." But I'm so glad we gave it a chance, because the food, ambiance, cocktails, and service were phenomenal. I can confidently say this place is not a tourist trap. I couldn't even tell you exactly what I ordered because we literally ordered a quarter of the menu. Every dish was a hit, and even the five kids in our group loved everything that came out. read more

Great place to eat or have drinks if you're ever in Victoria B.C. Service is great and if you're in the patio area, the view of the water and the city is amazing! A must "go-to" place in Canada! read more

We visited Finn's on a sunny summer Friday evening around 5:30 p.m. without a reservation and were seated right away on the patio. It was a warm day, so we chose a table with an umbrella; there were plenty to go around. Service was good, but the food truly stood out. The beef and pork meatballs were delicious, though we wished there had been more than two for our group of four. The Parmesan fries with truffle aioli disappeared quickly, and the oysters were very fresh. I loved my seafood linguini, and my husband couldn't stop raving about his double thick pork chop. Our friends were also happy with their rockfish burger and poke bowl. Drinks were well made and paired nicely with the meal. The food was fantastic, and we'd definitely recommend Finn's to anyone visiting. Dining on the patio with a waterfront view made the experience even better. read more

Great service, the location is prime: overlooking the water. The cool, not standard music presented a nice ambiance. Now, the food. I went for the basic fish and chips and was not disappointed. Canadians on the shore know how to prepare fish. My fillet was a large piece that covered most of the plate. Honestly I was a bit concerned At first as to whether it would be fully cooked, it was so big! But cooked it was and tasty too. Paired with a plate of fries and slaw it was the usual fare done properly. Great time, thank you Finn's! read more

Big issues! Reservation was good. Greeted us quickly and then...guided us up a steep flight of stairs (four 80 year olds- no elevator) after passing many great indoor and outdoor tables! Then we were led to a dark upstairs corner with no windows anywhere near! Then we ordered. Then we waited over 95 minutes for cold fish and chips. Cold Thai chicken curry. Two cold shrimp tacos (each had two shrimp). And 20 minutes later a poke bowl with a small pile of ahi tuna on top of a whole head of lettuce. We did order one beer and a one ounce whiskey and 7up! Footnote on drinks in Canada: drinks are sold per one ounce! Remember a normal "jigger" in every mixed drink in the world is one and one half ounces! So after you order a "one ounce" drink, you will be asked if you want a "double." This is a trick. The one ounce is the wrong formula for most drinks: martini, manhattan, and old fashioned to name a few. And if you go double: wrong again and tastes too strong because they use the "single" recipe. Back to the food. The cold two hour dinner in the dark upstairs corner was $200. The manager did acknowledge the horror of the evening and gave us two small desserts for four adults. We will not return to this dark corner of Victoria! read more

Where to start...the staff greeted us warmly and seated us at a lovely patio table. Our server welcomed us and kept tabs on our needs. Our food was delicious: salmon dinner and sablefish dinner....totally yummy! As we were celebrating a birthday, they gifted us a very tasty crème brûlée! What a lovely evening! Highly recommend!!! read more

Such a cute place located in downtown Victoria, with the view of the water. The restaurant was dark and moody with proper lighting at the tables. We made a reservation for our engagement that happened hours before the dinner and it was quite perfect. We started off with two traditional margaritas with bread and butter. Both were delicious but let me tell you about the star of the evening. The mushroom risotto was EVERYTHING. I added prawns on the side for some protein and extra filling and it was absolutely the right move. The risotto was rich, creamy, decadent and the perfect portion with the prawns on the side. I am salivating as I write this review, it was that amazing. My fiancé had the lobster fettuccine which was not our favorite but it was made up with the coconut crème brûlée. Our waitress was attentive, sweet, and made our experience that much lovelier. read more

Great date night restraunt. The service was amazing as well as the food. Much service was quick. They put a liter of water on the table so you can keep your glass full. I would make a trip to Victoria just for the food. read more

Great food and fantastic service! Highly recommended. The fish and chips were spectacular along with their music selections.

Absolutely lovely seating, service, wine and food. Poke bowl was fresh and scrumptious while the sablefish was perfectly cooked and tasty.

The food was amazing, I really liked the prawn curry bowel, the read curry sauce was very favorable. My husband loved the pork chop. The service was great okay it just took too long to get serviced. We were there 2 1/2 hours for a party of six. Also where we were sitting was too hot, they need to add more ceiling fans to move air around. Overall, great place with great food read more

Food was tasty and good but the standout here was the service! Ambiance also a positive but if we could make one little recommendation is to make it easier to see out to the wharf and port without having to strain neck to see over the fenced in patio! read more

Fancy fancy! Better to get there with reservation. Paid parking right next to it by the water. Honestly for the first time I am speechless and have nothing to say except AMAZING!!! Delicious food! Fantastic service! Gorgeous restaurant! My entire family loved every single thing. read more

A welcomed classy find in a sea of dining establishments, Finn's combines a cornucopia of delectable and well presented food fare together with a warm, inviting atmosphere and appropriate measure of class. A significant number of outside tables, complete with umbrellas, are also available for a nice view of the bay and seaplane traffic. This place is top of the list for repeat dining delight! read more

Overall, this is a really good seafood restaurant with very accommodating staff. We dined as a large party, including someone with severe allergies. The manager was exceptionally attentive, taking her allergy list to the kitchen to ensure safe and suitable recommendations. We ordered several dishes, and my favorites were the octopus, the trout spread, and the sablefish. However, the Fish and Chips was my least favorite--it felt overpriced for just one piece of fish, and I thought it could have been cooked better. That said, the overall experience was wonderful, and I'd definitely recommend a visit! read more

Excellent mussel in butter cream sauce. The steak was yummy however a bit tough. The Dungeness crab is probably not in season. But it was still very fresh except it was a bit overcooked. read more

A sunny Sunday lunch mid-September and Finn's was not super busy. We ordered 2 Fish & Chips plates. Large pieces of fish on a bed of fries covering large piece of paper with a very good tasting side serving of coleslaw. The chips were fresh cut from real potatoes and cooked perfectly. The large cut of fish was excellent. The restaurant decor goes perfectly with a water front location without the usual gaudy dock marine knickknacks. The last time we ate here was 20 years ago before Yelp was started and the food and service was great then as it is now. read more

Finn's Seafood Chops Cocktails - Delish! - Seafood Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

The last port of call on our cruise was in Victoria BC, and our shuttle bus attendant referred us to Finn's. After a stroll through the beautiful downtown area, we arrived to the restaurant, which boasts a magnificent harbor view. Front of house staff were exceedingly polite, and got us seated quickly with a water view table. Our server, Andrea, was also very polite, knowledgeable and attentive, in addition to looking like she'd just walked out of the pages of a fashion magazine:). We started off with a nice glass of reisling and a perfectly prepared Moscow Mule. For an app, we had the seafood chowder. Very delicious, with copious chunks of steelhead trout. My wife had the fish and chips, with perhaps the largest piece of fish I've seen for that dish. I had the Thai curry prawns. A generous portion of prawns, and the perfect blend of spices to go with the jasmine rice made for a very satisfying lunch. The tab with gratuity was $136 Canadian but showed up as $99USD on my credit card. In any event, Finn's food and service were a great value. read more

The food was one of the best, if not the best that we've ever had. It's so fresh and tasty. The view was amazing and the service was excellent. Too bad we were on a cruise ship and had to leave, but we will definitely come back here either on cruise ship of fly in here just for their food. read more

Renovated an old 19th century place, they've done a great job of keeping the old feel but very nice newer layout and decor. They have indoor and outdoor dining but we liked the upper floor small dining loft area which was quieter and overlooked everything. Had the trout (Steelhead) which was perfectly prepared on a sweet potato layered like a lasagna. Of course the wait staff were friendly and attentive. We ate early (6pm) and definitely recommend reservations as the place filled up by 7. read more

A really nice restaurant with a pub feel. Bar seating lends a down to earth touch while lobby and decor hint at a higher end vision. The Boss and I came for fish and chips. We both ordered the haddock and chips which came with a large, crispy, heavy, beer battered flakey, white, moist haddock nestled amongst crispy pub style chips. The slaw looked to be house made and was fresh and crisp. Washed it down with another local IPA. I've had better fish and chips, especially for a $26 plate, it was good, but...... service couldn't have been better and the restaurant was lovely inside. read more

My 2nd time here, and will definitely be back for a 3rd 4th and 5th visit! Great fish house classics and good cocktails. Maybe not the best place to bring children but my 6yo did fine and had a pizza and some bites of my lobster pasta. Good for date night or for bringing grandma when she's in town. Highly recommended. read more
