I'm so glad we did, because the duck risotto has sold out the night before, and it was possibly the best duck I've had in my life. My wife is vegetarian and she had great options for both nights as well. Our servers were fun and attentive, and the restaurant is located right downtown in a great area. The only negative was on our first night. There was quite a windstorm going on, and the front windows, which open out in good weather, were slightly drafty. However, the quality of the service and the food completely cancelled out that minor annoyance.

Both Matthew and Eduardo waited on me and they were both so nice. I started sitting on the patio, I ordered waygu gyoza there. The sauce was yummy. I appreciated their mocktail menu. I started with a stormy passion. They hey let me take a sip of a local cider but I decided to stick w the mocktails. Later I did a drivers sbagliato which I also enjoyed. I would've tried them all if I could. I got kinda chilly so I went inside. My food was served there. I did the ribs and chicken. Matthew recommended them and they got better as time went on. The place itself is very cute. Outside has great views of the city. They're in a cool area with a lot of foot traffic. Towards the end of my meal I did see someone catch my eye. The door to outside was open and a mouse was inside. I'm not going to take it as a reflection of anything other than the door being open and leave it at that. They have other things on their fresh sheets menu that look good. I like the local aspect to things.

We were met with very friendly staff, super quick service and great recommendations. The place was also so cute inside! The food itself was super tasty! I highly recommend any of the sushi, my spicy tuna roll was very fresh. My partner got the clam chowder and loved it. The prices were affordable, not overly priced. We ended our lunch with a delicious chocolate cake and some champagne suggested by our waiter. We will absolutely be back the next time we're in Victoria!

We have four very different food preferences, yet we all found something delicious to enjoy. The staff greeted us warmly and let us pick our own seats, which made for a very relaxed start. As for the food: Mac n Cheese: A huge hit with both my husband and son. Balsamic Strawberry Salad: Fresh, crisp, and really tasty. Chicken Tikka Masala: This was the standout dish of the day! My daughter thought it was fantastic. Everything was prepared fresh and arrived in a timely manner. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town!

The food and cider menus were extensive, featuring special items, mocktails, and cocktails. The service was excellent, and the spot is beautiful. It's also kid-friendly with games on the lawn and other activities. I enjoyed each of the ciders. I had the non-alcoholic flight, and my favorite was the lavender one! The fennel soda was very interesting, the ginger soda was a take on a ginger ale and the apple juice was great. Great value as well for $7. My husband had the world alcoholic cider flights and thoroughly enjoyed his selections. The farm itself is incredibly charming and offers activities for both adults and children. They also have some tours. I will definitely return for another visit and highly recommend Merridale cider and distillery

TLDR: Me and my partner got food poisoning from the chicken sandwich and had to call multiple times…read moreover the course of two weeks to get a partial refund from the owner. Me and a group of friends (8 total) were visiting the Olympic peninsula for a camping/backpacking weekend and stopped by Midtown on a busy Friday night and were quickly seated. The food tasted good and we had great service during our visit. Since we were a large group, and already had shared expenses for the weekend, when asked about the check we offered to put everything on one tab to save time. Later on that night however, after we had set up our tents at our campground, my partner began to experience intense stomach pains which turned into full blown food poisoning. I spent the next several hours helping them, before I also got sick. It was at this point we realized that it was from the chicken sandwich my partner had ordered at Midtown, since I had eaten her last remaining bites of the sandwich and this was the only food we shared that other members of our group had not also eaten (we all shared food at lunch earlier in the day). My partner and I essentially spent the night in the campground bathroom (we are extremely lucky they had one). The next morning we were feeling depleted, dehydrated, and decided to head home to recover while the rest of the group continued on the trip. We spent the rest of the weekend trying to get food down. I called Midtown the next business day and let them know what happened for their awareness mostly. They thanked me and told me their policy is a full refund if something like this happens and that the group should expect it soon. We didn't hear from them or get notification of a refund so we reached out a week later and they said they forgot and now the owner would only provide a refund for me and my partner's meals and that they never offered a full refund. They said since we had "12 people" on the ticket they wouldn't do it (our tab for 8 people was $186 before tax and tip) but if we had a doctor's note that could change things. I promised them we weren't making it all up and that I've never gotten food poisoning from a restaurant or even left a bad review before! Tired of the gas lighting I decided it wasn't worth arguing and let them know this will have to be my first. It's a shame their management is unprofessional because our experience in the restaurant with the food and staff was nice.

I shed a single tear for the memories and I'll never forget what it used to be.
