Amazing food and service! I hadn't been here in a while and it's so much better. I can't believe the wing sauces are made in-house and celiac friendly. So much better than the generic flavours.

The beer was good. The service was good. Unfortunately the food was not good. We came for the gluten free fish and chips. They were heavily deep fried and over cooked with a tiny thin layer of fish. Worst fish ever. The calamari was good and fried well so why was the fish over done? They did remove the charge but dinner was a disappointment.

We had been recommended this restaurant by a friend, and it did not disappoint. We had gluten-free fish and chips which came with a nice serving of fries and coleslaw.

Wonderful Italian restaurant. If your in Victoria, make a reservation. Delightful decor, kind of hidden off an alley.

This place is one of the best restaurants we've been to in a while. Everything we had was fantastic: Beef tenderloin carpaccio, smoked chicken penne, pan seared miso halibut, blackened creole chicken.
My wife has celiac and they have a lot of options. The gluten free penne was probably the best GF pasta she has tried.
We also had a few cocktails and they were all well made. Earl Grey Martini was a stand out for me.
Our server was very nice and accommodating as well and service was very fast.

While it was great they had gluten free waffle options, you only get 1 Belgium waffle and if you’re hungry, it won’t be enough. An order of thick cut bacon on the side helped fill the void. Oat milk for our coffees was nice, and the coffee cup sizes are kind of small given the $5 charge. Overall, it was decent - it was a breakfast start to a busy morning - but we’d likely go elsewhere for more value and larger portions.

One of my all-time favorite spots. Obviously, nothing beats the original Tacofino up in Tofino—but during high season, the lines can be wild. So we opted for the city version in Victoria yesterday, and it totally delivered!
They were super accommodating with dietary needs—my friend is both dairy- and gluten-free, and they had no problem whipping up a bowl for her. Our food came out fast and piping hot.
What I love most about Tacofino is the explosion of flavor in every bite. Fresh, bold, and seriously satisfying. If you’re visiting Victoria, this place is an absolute must.

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.
This spot offers a cozy, relaxed atmosphere ideal for enjoying gluten-free and vegan options. The menu is highly customizable, with fresh ingredients and fast, attentive service ensuring a satisfying experience for those with dietary needs.

FOOD POISONING ALERT:
I went to Finn’s seafood chops cocktails last night in hopes to eat some fresh local seafood while visiting Victoria BC.
In short I ended up with a whole night of vomiting due to food poisoning.
I ordered the crispy skin BC sablefish for my main and I shared a dozen of their oysters.
I believe I have gotten sick from the sablefish I ordered mainly because my friend did not have any issues from the oysters and my symptoms along with the vomiting is a lot that come along with scombroid poisoning ie: tingling and burning sensations around the mouth, facial flushing, sweating, nausea, vomiting, headache, palpitations, dizziness, and rash.
Scrombroid poisoning is a
foodborne illness that typically results from eating spoiled fish.
We chose this restaurant due to the great reviews we found through our google search and the location of it being right off the harbour.
The service was wonderful, I’m not sure of our servers name but she was very kind and attentive to our orders. As I am celiac and she ensured to make sure all of our plates would not have any cross contamination.
The food was delicious, we all enjoyed our plates.
However I do question how well the fish I ate was properly handled
or if there was improper temperature control from the time of catch to consumption.
I would consider Finn’s a fine dining restaurant and I would expect for a $300 meal, the place would have top notch food quality and proper food storage and preparation. I had higher hopes for their standards.
I am on vacation and now recovering from food poisoning, this is not how I wanted to spend my time visiting B.C.
I would not come back to this restaurant nor would I recommend it. I am also turned off of eating fish for a long time now.
Feeling not impressed at the moment.

If you need inclusive catering options for a diverse set of dietary requirements, Romeo's has got you covered. We were able to use both the Hillside and Langford location to cater our staff events, and I can't begin to tell you how thorough and thoughtful the management team at both restaurants was in ensuring we had a meal for everyone's needs. Celiac-safe, diabetic, vegans, onion allergies - you name it. They had a solution for everything. This is so challenging to find in a restaurant, and I can't say enough good things about the care taken by these teams. Thank you Romeos! Looking forward to working with you again in the future!
