Livet - Victoria, British Columbia

A perfect 4 1/2!!! Stopped by on our way to Winefest and the Livet was, once again, the right choice. Terrific and creative cocktails, excellent service and varied menu. We each had a cocktail and shared the broccolini, gomae and kimchi fried chicken. Too much food for two, but we ... were so hungry I only got a picture of the chicken!! You’ll have to check it out for yourself!! Read more

Friendly staff, food is pretty great, drinks are average. Great patio in the summer.

Delicious Scotch egg, fun cocktails, good atmosphere, great service. Food and drink portions were a little on the small and expensive side, but the quality was great. There rotating drink menu was on a big board that the server in good humor brought over to our table a number of times. ... They accommodated our large group well. It was winter so we ate inside, but they had a nice looking patio that I hope to try in the summer. Good for a date or nice dinner. Not good for cheap drinks/food. Read more

I was pleasantly surprised with our dinner last night. Great spot for a date, with the trendy decor, rooftop patio, and soft lighting. I remember looking at the menu when this place first opened and thinking I probably couldn't afford to eat here.. Well the menu has changed, the prices ... are reasonable, the portions were great and the service was excellent! We went for an early dinner before the ballet. Four of us shared a bottle of wine and five menu items: the bread, the olives, the lettuce wraps, the duck confit, and the tuna tartar. Every dish was well balanced and delicious! I wouldn't necessarily call them tapas because the portions for some were large enough to be an entré.. and the menu doesn't really tell you which ones those are! So that's my one complaint. But just ask your server and they can let you know! The menu is limited, but the options are good. For the five dishes (leaving out the bottle of wine, which was expensive!) our bill was $100. The only other thing I didn't love was how noisy it got. Lots if hard surfaces inside, so noise bounces and travels. With the music up it was a bit too much. They take a limited number of reservations, which is a big bonus! Read more

Went here for the first time and give it two big thumbs up!! The patio seating was spaced out enough to make it comfortable and the heaters warmed us up once the sun started to go down. The menu all looked so good that it was hard to make a ... decision and everything we ate was fabulous (olives, oysters, cerviche, and tuna tataki)! The cocktail menu was unique, which we appreciated, and we really liked the drinks ordered off of it. Great beer and wine selection, too! Can't wait to go back to this unique spot! Read more
