Dinner at Saveur is a wonderful experience. Every plate, appetizer or entree, is presented as a work of art. We were a party of six and between us we ordered a good portion of the menu. All were very pleased with the flavours, presentation and...attentive service by our waiter Ryan. Chef Rob is a master of his trade. It was a special evening.More
Perhaps the best restaurant in Victoria -- really outstanding. Nice selection of dishes including appetizers and desert. Good wine list. Friendly and excellent service. Noteworthy use of plastic screens to separate diners during covid. In all respects, highly recommended.
Fantastic food and great service. Everything was fresh, delicious and the presentation was beautiful.
My husband and I went for the Bubbles and Bites happy hour. Our server, Jacq, was very attentive and was able to explain everything on the menu with ease, and recommended a wine she thought I would like. It was also extremely thoughtful for the...kitchen to modify a few dishes to accommodate a vegan diet.More
Saveur is so delicious 😋 The food, Michelin Star worthy. The Scallop Crudo was out of this world. The rhubarb cocktail was perfectly balanced and refreshing. Service, some of the best in the city by far. Ambiance, comfortable and not pretentious. This Gem in Victoria...is always a reliable place to bring my family and friends that come to visit, they never disappoint.More
We had a fabulous experience at Saveur. The food was absolutely delicious, inspired and beautifully presented. Our server Ryan was attentive and made the dining experience truly memorable. Ryan provided excellent wine pairing suggestions including an amazing dessert wine I’ve never had before (Tokaji). We...will be back!More
Had a wonderful experience at Saveur - loved everything we ate, all of which was recommended by our server Jacqueline - we left it to her to pick our courses for the evening. The chilled soba noodles were excellent. We particularly enjoyed how each plate...was designed for sharing. The hospitality was outstanding start to finish. Thank you Jacqueline and the team at Saveur!More
Went to celebrate our daughter’s convocation from UVic. The service was excellent and the food outstanding. Each dish was beautifully presented and the flavours exceptional. The mushroom cracklings are so unique with the right amount of salt and umami. My steak was cooked to perfection....My husband had the tuna which melted in the mouth. Our vegetarian daughter hummed and hawed a bit before ordering the asparagus and morels dish (professing not to be a fan of asparagus), and then practically licked the plate clean. Ryan our server was knowledgeable and attentive. We will be back when we are in Victoria again. Highly recommendMore
Most amazing night! My partner and I went to dinner at Saveur and everything from when we first walked in to the photos our sever Ryan took of us before we walked out the door was incredible. Drinks - seasonal rhubarb cocktail was ordered (partner...and I agreed it goes in our top three drinks ever!) and the lavender gin drink was delicious as well. You can tell a lot of creativity and effort goes into their drinks. Food - truly edible art! We had a great time getting each dish introduced by the chef who took the time to explain the many parts of it. Food looked beautiful and tasted incredible. We both ordered the halibut and the pork belly appetizer which were each delicious in their own way. Service - the best you will find in Victoria. Our sever Ryan was outstanding and really went above and beyond to tell us more about the menu. We asked if he could grab a photo of us and he suggested a few backdrops in the restaurant which made beautiful photos to remember the night. The chef and bartender’s names escape me, but they were incredibly attentive as well and truly made our night. Everyone there was so friendly and it created a great atmosphere. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough!More
OUTSTANDING! This was by far, the most enjoyable, delicious and all-encompassing dining experience we’ve had in the last twenty years!
We enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Shane "the friendly garcon" was skilled and good-humoured and took his role as ambassador for the kitchen seriously. And the food was VERY good. Creative and interesting without being weird or difficult. We started with a Korean BBQ wings, which Shane...said were first cooked sous vide and then marinated and grilled. Never had wings anywhere near as good. Of a chilled soup with scallops, my partner Moira said, "I think that might be the nicest thing I've ever put in my mouth." Including dessert, we had six dishes and shared each of them -- Shane provided sharing plates and refreshed them as needed. We each had two glasses of wine, both delicious. We were close to the kitchen, which is semi-open (which I enjoy). The room is rather long and narrow, with just one long row of tables, but there are two or three screens the divide the space. There was just the right amount of background chatter and music to create a lively atmosphere without making conversation difficult. We were there for a about 2.5 hours. I thought it was excellent value for the money. One recommendation is that the toilets could use a refresh.More
My partner and I came here as a joint birthday dinner for the both of us and it was amazing. We did the Chef's Five-Course Tasting Menu with the Wine Pairings; each dish that came out was wonderful in both presentation and taste, along with...wines that truly complimented every one of them. The overall mood and vibe of the restaurant was pleasantly casual with a respectful touch personality, I found myself especially enjoying the music playlist. All of staff were very knowledgeable and graciously entertained all of our questions and small-talk, which made the entire experience feel so much more personal and welcoming. Big thanks to the staff: Ryan, Jaydra, Shane, Jamie, and of course Chef Cassels! It was genuinely a memorable experience and we will be sure to return when visiting Victoria in the future!More
BEST FOOD AND SERVICE IN VICTORIA. we come here every time we’ve visited. Don’t be silly, make a reso!
From the moment we entered the service was top notch, every little detail just added to the experience. Shane was knowledgeable, attentive, and professional. Every dish was beautifully presented, and tasted amazing, the highlight being the tenderloin. When in Victoria, this is a definite destination.
This is a hard review to write. Been here a few times for brunch so wanted to try dinner. Atmosphere was nice. Food was good. Prices high with small servings. Service not spectacular considering they did not seem short staffed. Managed to forget to give...us bread, brought my drink for dinner when I was almost finished meal and asked how my meal was when I had more or less finished eating. Table was stained. Hard to pay 275$ for two people with this kind of service. I am a local and sadly won’t be coming back.More
