Spinnakers - Victoria, British Columbia

We took our dog to the restaurant and they were so kind to him! We got an ice cold bowl of water which he gratefully accepted. We got a flaxseed carrot dog bone and he loved it!! The patio is where dogs are permitted and it has a large selection ... of tables that have umbrellas. Read more

Absolutely disgusted by the service I had just received here tonight. Young female waitress with heavy pink eye shadow constantly served the two tables around mine while purposely avoiding eye contact with my table. Not once was myself or my wife offered refills on our drinks, or checked in ... on in general. We sat with our empty drinks and plates from between a half hour to an hour. My wallet was on the table with my visa sticking out on purpose. When she came back to check in again with one of the surrounding tables, I got up and started walking to the register visibly frustrated. I flashed my card and asked to pay for my bill. As she handed me my bill, she tried to make small talk and I said nothing. Not until after she watched me press the no tip option did she offer an apology. Again I did not even respond. I also want to note that I’m a visible minority, and was the only non Caucasian person eating in this area at the time. I really hope that racism wasn’t a factor, but judging from my experience, it’s hard to feel otherwise. Read more

More restaurant than pub now. The happy hour is 3-5 yet they don't open their upstairs pub part until 3:30 a lot of the time or they don't allow you up there as they don't have enough staff (though the bartender could easily take food/drink orders like they used ... to). Service is not fastest or attentive either. I really just go there for the pub and not the restaurant. It is the best view in Victoria and the food is really good with some nice new beers but as a patron i feel they organize it now around what works best for the staff and not the customer. But that's just my opinion after going there the last 25 years. Lots more choice in this town now. Read more

Amazing stop after our bike tour. You can feel the love in the food. We had the pulled pork sandwich on house made sourdough…and it did NOT disappoint! Wifey had the smoked tuna poke bowl, which was gluten free and absolutely delicious. Carrot cake hit the mark with a great blend ... of flavors, none of which over powered each other Read more

Had the beef burger and it was very tasty! Had a special house sauce and it worked well. The bun wasn't toasted on the grill but it was fresh, would be better toasted though. Caesar salad was made of kale, but was really tasty! The seafood chowder was great, but the ... buns weren't toasted either. The soda flight was good. Service was fast and friendly! Would definitely recommend this place, and will be returning. Keep up the great work. Read more
