Love, love, love! Came here a few weeks ago while visiting town. My boyfriend and I were in a bit of a rush to get back in the ferry so we wanted something quick and easy. Luckily, Bodega had space for us on the patio and the service was so quick- we were able to enjoy our food without stressing. We ordered four dishes which was the perfect amount for us to share, as well as some olives to snack on. Each dish came out as we finished the last which was great. I was pleasantly surprised that they offer gluten free focaccia which was actually delicious as well as non alcoholic Rosé which was such a special treat. Will be back on our next visit!

Today I went to Earls Victoria with group of friends for dinner, I explicitly informed the staff on three separate occasions that I am celiac and that requires a strict gluten-free diet. Despite these clear communications, I was served food containing gluten, resulting in a severe physical reaction and ongoing symptoms requiring recovery. This goes beyond a simple mistake — it represents a failure in duty of care and negligence in handling a known medical condition. In Canada, restaurants have a legal obligation to provide accurate allergen information and take reasonable steps to prevent cross-contamination when informed of a medical necessity. In this case, those steps were clearly not taken. This incident has caused pain, distress, and potential long-term health implications. I strongly urge Earls to review and revise their allergen handling protocols, provide staff training, and implement stringent verification processes for medically necessary dietary accommodations. If this issue is not formally addressed, I will have no choice but to explore further action through appropriate regulatory and legal channels. This is about protecting others from experiencing what I went through.

It was a good quick stop for some cheap dinner. The loaded fries were way too spicy and the menu could offer a few more gluten friendly options. Other than that, it's just as I expected after visiting both locations in Vancouver.

We’re in town for our anniversary, could have picked any place to eat but chose this location. What a disaster. Apparently, a reservation means nothing to these folks. Food - calamari had two massive lumps of solid squid multiplied by 10 pieces stuck together. Mashed potatoes were whipped so much, they were just a lump of gluten. I asked for my prime rib to be medium - I received raw on one side and slightly brown on the other. My plate was less than desirable to say the least. Not sure why I would get a mini cup of ketchup with prime rib - had to ask for horseradish!! Thank you for an awful 13th wedding anniversary dinner!
