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. The bartender knew what they were doing and kept things moving smoothly. Vibe: Dark, old-school, and moody in the best way. You quickly forget you're in a hotel once inside. 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.

TL;DR: Yes, it's a tiki bar. That's about as far as it goes…read more Drinks: Coming from someone with a rum shelf and a closet of tiki mugs, this was thin. Very limited rum selection, nothing distinctive. The menu reads like flashcards: Trade Winds, Trader Vic's Grog, Saturn. Correct, competent. Vibe: The ambiance is fun and well done. It checks the boxes, but it doesn't push past them. What could be better: Depth. The rum program feels bare, and there's no sense of curiosity. Bottom line: If you don't know tiki, you'll probably have a good time. If you do, have a daiquiri and move on. My review matches what the locals say - Yup, it's a tiki bar.

It was Monday and the special was fish and chips but we had that yesterday so we picked other things. The spicy chicken sandwich was very good. My wife commented that the yam fries were great. The tomato soup was top notch as well. The service was excellent. We ended up having two different servers. Second time we were switched out during our trip. Kind of funny but it gave us an opportunity to meet a couple servers. Both were excellent and took good care of us. I don't usually comment beyond good service but both ladies were funny, playful, and just plain awesome. The original server checked back as well to do nothing other than make sure we were having a good time and to share some laughs. The folks that ran the food were also engaging and genuinely wanting to provide good a great experience. All in all, the best place we have dined at to date in Victoria!

We ordered the following : 2 of 6 oz red wine ($14), Crispy Dry Ribs ( Happy Hour price $11), Chicken Wings ($18), Chicken Quesadillas ( Happy Hour price $11) and Guacamole for $4. Ribs were tender and crispy. Honey garlic wings were pretty tasty. Although there were few of chicken pieces, Quesadillas were tasty too. There was Blue Jays vs Dodgers match happening last night. Majority of patrons were having fun watching the game. Trivia nights are also happening from October 20th through December 6th! I'd definitely return to this pub on my next visit!

I enjoyed it and my cousin enjoyed her chocolate one as well. It was very chocolately. Overall, not bad for a hotel. Beautiful nighttime views!!

The short rib was a pretty small portion, but he said it was very good. I really liked the pasta! For dessert we shared the apple tart tatin with ice cream.
