Took the wife there for dinner a few times throughout the summer - quality seafood - fresh local halibut and wild salmon, imported sea bass, and dungeness crab and lobstersl live from the tank. Her steak (filet mignon) was the (she said!) best she's ever had. Very reasonably priced food, well chosen local wines, great service - too bad they're... More

Chandler's is in a great-looking, heritage building in a perfect location on Wharf Street. I'd been meaning to try it for years and finally did this past summer. Disappointing! Portions were skimpy, blandly prepared, a little overcooked (i.e., dry) and over priced. All four of us left hungry and unimpressed. Too bad the food wasn't as impressive as the room.

Very handy on Wharf St. near the bridge downtown. Excellent service. When we were there it was closed for lunch, so recommend you call first to make sure. Supposed to have the best fish and chips in Victoria, but we didn't fancy that as a dinner considering all the fantastic fresh fish dinners ont he menu.

Great place to eat! We had an excellent meal with great service. The lobster add on for $12.00 was a deal! We loved the bread and special butter to start with. We also had calamari as an appetizer. It was great! I had the ribeye with the lobster and my husband had king crab legs. Great portion sizes. Would go... More

Needlessly expensive and singularly uninspired. I ordered the trout and it was clearly prepared from frozen, not fresh. With so many better options in the city, there is no need to eat here. Save yourself a bundle and eat instead at the dockside Red Fish, Blue Fish for a true Victoria experience and the freshest, best prepared seafood you could... More

Wow! I had some really good food here (not just because I was hungry), and the atmosphere was very pleasing. My husband and I went here one night during the winter so it was quite but pleasant. I ordered the fish and chips and ate every last bit. Can't remember what my husband had but I do remember he was... More
