Huge accolades to Finn's for providing one of the most enjoyable and memorable dinners we, as a family, have ever had! We had to cancel our original reservation the day before arriving in Victoria, thinking we could not get to the city in time for...our 7 PM booking. However, at the last minute, we found that we could make it on time, called the restaurant, and they reinstated our table for 7 people. We were thrilled, as this was a milestone birthday celebration for one of the family members. We had a lovely table on the upper deck overlooking the main dining room. The ambiance, warmth, and charm of the vintage wharf building made us all feel at ease and comfortable. The tables were spaced nicely so that it never felt crowded, and the noise level was minimized. Looking out over Victoria Harbor and seeing all the holiday lights added to the experience. Our server, Tasia, was fantastic. She was friendly, engaging, knowledgeable, and she brought our drinks and food with perfect pacing. We never felt like we were being rushed, nor were we waiting too long for our meals to be delivered. The menu offered choices for all our tastes and palates. There were three generations present, and we were all able to find dishes that we liked. The portions were the right size, the food was served hot, and everything was delicious. Make sure you order desserts; they were yummy! We had a memorable evening, and that is why we HIGHLY recommend Finn's in Victoria. Larry S.More

We love Finn’s! This vacation we dined here four times and were never disappointed. The place has great ambience and the food is excellent. The cilantro hummus, fresh shellfish bowl, and pork chops are family favourites. Huge shout out to our server Jeryl (sp?) who...went the extra mile for customer service. Can’t wait to return.More

Great place with amazing service, I say amazing as it seemed to be the the buzz word for our waitress who managed to include it in every other sentence. Good food, nice atmosphere at reasonable prices. The pork chop was really was amazing. I'd hate...to meet the pig that came off!So big. Well worth the effortMore

Strolled into Finns by chance on a recent visit to glorious Victoria, it was a Thursday evening and Finns was just nicely busy with a warm atmosphere. Lovely decor and warm welcome. Teija was our server and was Top Class, friendly, Professional and helpful. Had...delicious Fish & Chips in beautiful surroundings and the quality of our foods were excellent, I also must say that we found the level of service and value for money absolutely fantastic compared to other venues we’ve visited. Keep up the great work guys, you’ve got a star in Teija too, Thank you for making our evening so memorable…🇮🇪More

We came for happy hour and we’re pleased with the Rockfish croquettes and the Prawn and pork Dim Sum. We shared the tuna poké bowl, also excellent. We figured two bowls would have been too much so we were excited about dessert. Sadly of the...four items to choose from, three of them we couldn’t eat (two for allergies, one we didn’t like) and that left a sorbet, which wasn’t what we wanted. Sadly no dessert.More

Dinner on a lovely evening in Victoria. We were initially given a table downstairs beside a large party and when we asked for a different table, the team moved us upstairs without any issue. Food exceptional - particularly the dim sum as a starter. Service...was very efficient and friendly. Highly recommended.More

We had a reservation and were seated immediately by the hostess to a lovely table with view of the Harbor. Our waiter Hunter provided impeccable service as well as the manager Fahra. My husband had the fresh oysters and I started with the Finns farmhouse...salad minus the blue cheese. Very tasty! My husband had the fresh BC steelhead and I had the steamed local mussels. The fish was cooked perfectly and I asked for extra bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Very much enjoyed our meal and hope to return!More
