Been here before with friends and sat on the patio. Service was great, food was okay. Recent visit wasn't good. Sat inside; thought the tables were too close, given the current situation with COVID. Also, the service was terrible. Food took forever and when it...did come parts of the meal were missing. No apologies for the mistake and getting the rest of our meal took forever. Servers didn't seem concerned with anything.More

I had one of the worst quiches I've ever had. I had ordered fries but it came with salad which wasn't a concern. My quiche was slightly warm and high with wet egg filling. A quiche should be dense with a creamy/egg filling and strongly...tasting of cheese. This quiche did neither; it was a wet egg disappointment.More

The worst service EVER! 1 3/4 hour wait ( with no apologies) for lunch and it was a cold cheese plate! Either set aside 1/2 day to eat Or go elsewhere!!!

I tried to make a reservation on patio - but they said they don't do reservations on the patio. When we arrived, I saw a table outside that was empty and asked for it. I was told it was reserved. They explained they had over...booked the inside???? The food was good. The problem was the service. We had told them in advance that we had some vegans in our group and they offered to make the Penny Farthing menu available which had vegan items. We were a party of 6, first group inside for dinner; we had 4 Vis a Vis menus and 1 Penny Farthing menu to share. 2 hours to get our food. Because everything took so long, we were the last table in the restaurant to finish and they began cleaning and couldn't wait to get us out the door. Service there was an after thought.More

We had a lovely dinner and evening Service by Christopher was exemplary. As good as I have had in Victoria.. Our dinners were very good. Coq au vin was excellent. Halibut dinner was delicious and a generous portion. It might have benefitted from some additional...veg. Steak tartar was outstanding and fresh oysters very good Deserts were large and very tasty. Good choices from the pub menu which helped the two teenagers All in all excellent evening. Gluten free options and protocols were excellent for my wife.More

Vis-a-Vis used to be my favourite restaurant until today. I called to reserve a table to celebrate early Mother's Day with my parents and my son's 19 th birthday and was told "no reservations". We arrived at 2 pm to beat the lunch crowd and...waited 45 minutes. A table for 4 cleared and the not so pleasant hostess informed us that the table was "reserved". I asked her to clarify as there was a "no reservation policy", and she told me that it was "reserved for the owners friends who always sit there at 3pm on Fridays". So we left and had lunch at home. Disappointed.More

The server asked how my meal was after two bites and I said not great. Asked what the problem was. The steak was not even warm along with the fries. Tell you the truth the steak was tough. I ordered another dish the Boeuf Bourguinon...to replace the first. I did not have the heart to tell the server the beef was full of fat. Not just a bit but chunks with very little meat. Its unfortunate I was eating my meal when my companion was finished. She did have the halibut and said it was very good. Will I go back?More
