    Service was wonderful, food was amazing, and the ambiance was perfect! The whipped cream on top of the hot chocolate was the best I've ever had.

    Calamari

    Tucked into a nice hotel in Sooke, West Coast Grill has all the makings of a tourist trap: overpriced and underwhelming. The dinners we're confusingly designed - the fish came with fries, and soup, and coleslaw, all tucked in a wooden tray. The butternut squash was covered in arugula and goat cheese, oddly proportioned and giving the dish an overall confusing texture. Ultimately, the prices make the dishes disappointing, coming in at a minimum of $26/dish.

    We came here for happy hour twice while vacationing in Sooke. The ambiance and decor is nice, it's clean and modern and nice views of the harbour. The servers were all very welcoming and friendly. We only ordered the shrimp shared plate (small portion for $30!) and garlic fries- both tasted great. Good selection of wine & beer for happy hour. It was quiet earlier in the day and filled up by 5-6pm. Nice place, would definitely go back.

    Mushroom ravioli

    Once again West Coast Grill chef Adam Guther has proven his expertise with fresh local seafood! Our group of 10, had a delightful & delicious meal with a wide tasting of the tempting menu. Appetizers included luscious crab cakes, calamari & the three cheese dip. The calamari got high praise from our out of town guests. The mushroom ravioli was rich & unctuous & satisfying. The fresh fish & chips with a side of chowder was yummy & the kids all loved the chicken & chips. We rounded off the meal with a variety of desserts: the eye popping mile high mud pie, the spectacular chocolate tart & an array of ice creams & sherbet. In addition to the restaurant, the kitchen was also catering to a very large wedding at the hotel & yet they never missed a beat in delivering a fantastic meal!

    Fisherman's Bowl (gluten free)

    Meh. An ok place to have breakfast if you're staying at the hotel, but nothing to write home about. They do have great GF options across the board (including gluten free pasta at dinner), and many items can be altered to be made GF. Unfortunately they were out of crab when we had dinner there and the Fisherman's Bowl was pretty seafood light for what it was. Can't say the heavily dressed salad was much better. The hollandaise sauce on the eggs Benedict lacked flavor, and the potatoes were bare, and a bit soggy feeling. Finally, the bar was also quite light in terms of selection. Great spot for the views and service (you couldn't ask for more friendly or attentive staff) but wouldn't seek out the restaurant again.

    Lively atmosphere and good food for a reasonable price. Both seafood dishes were very good and fresh. Many touch points from several friendly staff making sure we were well taken care of. Great friendly and timely service.

    This is another case of looks can be deceiving. The place has beautiful decor and the chairs are very comfy. You'd expect first class service and cuisine, but they fell short. We ate there twice. Once for breakfast and once for the special Christmas Dinner. For breakfast we were told we needed reservations and yet no one even asked when we showed up. The place was mostly empty. We had problems with the wait staff. They seem quite unorganized and not trained very well. It took forever to get our order placed. The food was good, but we lost our waitress when it was time for the bill. For the Christmas Dinner, the Seared Digby Scallop was overcooked and tough. the Wagyu Beef was mediocre and not very flavorful, the Seafood Trio was rubbery and overcooked. I've had much better food at other Best Western restaurants. Too bad..

    Stick in the Mud Pie...Expresso coffee ice cream with chocolate nubs inside.

    Dinner at 7PM and we were seated promptly on the back deck overlooking the harbor. The farmhouse…read moresalad was huge and we ordered one to split. My ahi tuna was perfectly cooked and artfully presented on couscous with kale. My wife had the sablefish and the flavor was rich and delicious. The fish was firm and flaky. We split a flourless chocolate greenish. Pay parking was C$6 for 2 hours in a lot next to the building but up 40 steps to the restaurant. ,. Service was excellent. Our only negative was that the tables on the outside deck were very close together. We had to move one of them to allow me to get into my chair. This is our second time to visit, the last one being in winter. Amazingly, we ordered the same salad and Ahi tuna enter. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g154945-d12722769-r1065553340-Finn_s_Seafood_Chops_Cocktails-Victoria_Victoria_Capital_Regional_District_Van.html#

    At Dinner at Finn's Seafood Chops & Cocktails in Victoria British Columbia. Worth the trip! A wide…read morevariety of local catch seafood. I enjoyed a dozen oysters, Seafood Chowder and an incredibly light and succinct Crispy Skin BC Sablefish. Service fantastic! Our server, Hunter, was very well-versed in the menu and local culture. Great local craft brew selection! Tell em' BaddBob sent you!! Update: I had to remove a star. When we left we went to the restroom. In the men's room, the urinal was broken and blocked off. No problem. I used a toilet. It wouldn't flush so my buddy had to use an unflushed toilet after me. My wife came out of the ladies room and said the sink was clogged and wouldn't drain. I let our server know.
