Seafood chowder was very delicious. The dungeness crab was not very fresh. The meat was not firm, unlike what I had before.

Our first visit to the pub to celebrated an Irish birthday and we enjoyed the evening. Regret the meal (Irish stew) for the birthday lady was cold! The music, dancing, service and venue were great! Thanks for asking!

Hi, it looks like you accidentally left a review for an Irish pub, rather than for Finn's restaurant.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Victoria. I love the dim sum and the fresh shellfish bowl. My wife likes the Seared Ahi Tuna salad and the pan roasted local rockfish. I like the seating downstairs and the service staff is always friendly. They have also been willing to make slight changes to menu items when asked. I will be back again!

Lovely waitress. Food was delicious! There were only 4 groups of people at the restaurant and they put us all in a corner of the restaurant next to each other - I assume it’s because there was only one waitress. Not a big deal, just ended up being a little loud. We’ll be going back.

The service and the food were outstanding! I had the New York strip which was awesome and cooked exactly as I requested. Wife had the chicken and gnocchi, which I tried a bit of, and it was also incredible. If you are in Victoria you should plan a visit here for sure.

Overall a solid 4.5 star (but i couldnt click 4.5). Everything was great, the things that can improve, fresh oyster could be more fresh, the fish in the fish and chip was dry. But other than that, excellent. Especially like the sauce they used in the pizza and also the garlic bread dip.

All 3 in our party thought the food was exceptional. Only slight disappointment was that the food arrived very quickly after ordering. It would have been nice to relax into the evening with our cocktail for a bit longer before eating.

Lovely food, reasonably priced. Only complaint is that the table we sat at was by a window - lovely - but it wasn’t sealed properly and there was cold air coming through all of the time. Would come back, but not to that table.

Made a reservation 45 minutes prior to dinner, no problem. Asked for a window seat with harbor view, and that is what we got. The host was exceptional! Guided us to the bar while our table was readied, then escorted us and our drinks from the bar to the table. Checked on us numerous times during the meal. Husband ordered the pork chop - huge and delicious! I ordered the stir fried veggies which came with jasmine rice and red coconut curry sauce - just amazing! Fabulous meal, great service, nice ambiance. Food came out really fast too. Highly recommend. 2 drinks $50 CAD, 2 dinners/2 desserts $75 CAD.
