When we visited Victoria back in late June, we noticed that Victoria Harbour House was located right next to our hotel and decided to have dinner here.
The interior is a bit homey... Nice place for a romantic dinner. We started off with a Moscow mule (didn't look like any Moscow mule we've had before).
For our starters, we picked the lobster bisque (which was really good) and the French onion soup. We weren't overly hungry so we just grabbed a lobster tail as well as the seafood en croute which had an assortment of seafood baked inside pastry. Inside, there was a rich and creamy sauce with lobster, prawn, crab, and mushrooms. The seafood en croute is a can't miss if you come here.
Absolutely gorgeous restaurant.
The service we received was absolutely remarkable; the gentleman who served us was polite, humorous, and well educated. Dining at this location is more than a meal it is an experience.
I highly recommend a reservation as they open at 430 and by 530 the restaurant is near full. However, I made my reservation 30 minutes before attending on a Monday and they were very accommodating. While we went all in with several alcohol drinks, 2 appetizers, two generous and extravagant meals and two deserts, there are items available on the menu for every budget.
We ordered and throughly enjoyed:
STEAMED MUSSELS, SHRIMP SCAMPI, CHATEAUBRIAND, and CRÈME BRULÉE.
I was able to take a quick look at the kitchen on my way in and it was a spotless, well run kitchen. They do have a dinning area with water view as well.
You can feel the history as you step foot into this amazing establishment. They have been in business since 1980 and they have gentleman working for the establishment who have been with them for 40+ years.
I will definitely return and I highly recommend you give this gem a try!
P.s plenty of parking available! Free spaces on sight, in addition to street parking, and I noticed a parking garage across the street.
We enjoyed a very special family dinner here recently - 13 adults and 2 children. I cannot say enough about the service, ambience and attention to detail, the food, the wine - the whole experience. Thank you Harbour House and the lovely James for making this evening a special time and one that will be remembered by all of us.
