Veneto - Victoria, British Columbia

Cocktails always great here, but the food is absolutely delicious. I was pleased to see a variety of share plates to main courses. We had the octopus and it was to die for! The new chef has put a lot of care into constructing a well thought out menu. I ... will be back to try more soon! Read more

(Bar review only) Unbelievably good. Not just the best cocktails in Victoria, but some of the best-made drinks I've experienced anywhere. Even the ice (hand-carved) is a thing of beauty. We asked for an old-fashioned and were presented with a remarkable, beautifully balanced concoction of bourbon, mint liqueur, benedictine ... and clove bitters. Service was impeccable. A can't miss destination for cocktail nerds. BONUS: visit the liquor store next door and take home some local spirits. Read more

Nice restaurant in downtown Victoria. For a hotel restaurant, the pricing is relatively reasonable and the portione are decent. French Frites were a bit soggy and felt like were re heated. Steak quality was very high, congac peppercorn sauce was delicious. Service given by Claire was pleasant and prompt. Salad was fresh and ... crunchy. The blueberry and peach crumble is to die for!

I'm leaving a little room in my star rating for my next visit. Great location and atmosphere. The big windows and high ceilings make for a good cocktail drinking experience. Cocktails themselves were decent - next visit I'll go off menu for a better test.

Fantastic food and drinks, and the new renovations look great. I love being able to go in and have one of their bartenders create a drink based on my taste preferences.
