Steamship Grill & Taphouse - Victoria, British Columbia

I am quite disappointed overall, I thought I would have high-end quality and fresh, homemade food but that was not at all the case unfortunately. the cocktails are not bad, but basic and lacking any fancy in the presentation. We had the coconut shrimp as a starter which were way ... overcooked and obviously not homemade at all. I think it's a frozen bag like you can buy at the store, so no real flavor or refinement and an excessive price (around $20). Then, the Poke bowl, it contained pieces of not fresh mangoes, they had to be frozen beforehand because they were full of water, which was really not pleasant and the other ingredients lacked flavor and taste. The rice + noodles mixture (overcooked in water) in a Poke bowl is not very good, especially for the price! ($26). The plate with the hamburger was so small! The tuna tataki is not bad, but for the price ($20 for a starter it's not worth it). and finally, the service was poor, we waited forever to receive our starter... and finally the starter and the main course arrived at the same time which was not practical or on the table nor to eat because when we wanted to start the starter, our dish got cold. the very nice view from the patio. I won't come back, enough other better restaurants in town. Read more

The food was good but my seafood soup and crab cakes were a bit on the saltier side than normal. The only problem I had was the waiting time for our food. It took a whole hour for our food to arrive. Otherwise, the rest of the food and view ... was great on the patio. Read more

We ordered take out from here. The Calamari was 20$ and came in the smallest portion Ive ever seen. So my friend gave her coleslaw, which was very soupy and bland. Pictures below. I am visiting from out of town, so have never heard of this place. ... But will remember it enough to not eat here again. Read more

We came in for a quick bite, she got the lobster ravioli and I ordered half a crab. The snow crab was very delicious! Lobster ravioli was yum yum. Service was a little slow, as there was only one server serving the entire side of the restaurant. Ambience was pretty ... darn cool, much like it was a boat at one time, which I think it was. I'd like to come back and try more of their food! Read more

Very big plate! bigger than we expected. We couldn’t finish the food although the food was very tasty, especially sea food: very fresh with good cooking skills. Service is fantastic- we were given a free dish: there was a misunderstanding when we were ordering. They are very professional and nice ... people. A decent restaurant! Read more
