Great atmosphere, love the view, wouldn't mind a few more meny options though.... I have been there a few times never disapointed but always have difficulty making my decisions.
Having a mobility issue, it was nice to be able to reserve a table on the main floor to avoid the stairs.

The only downside was that you don’t have a really hoppy beer. I’m particularly fond of beer similar to Fat Tug.

You all shine brightly in the restaurant scene in Victoria. STILL my all time favourite go to establishment. Be sure to pay your staff well. Mackenzie was right on top of her work- wishing my mother happy birthday as soon as we met her. So she took the time to read the reservation details. I asked her to guess my mothers age -29 with smiles in the mind yes, & I told her just reverse the numbers & you’ve got it right for the body. Memorable day for us, includin the truffle & lit canske & h b sing

The food was okay but it was very noisy. It was too hard to talk and could barely hear the person beside you. When the music came on it didn't help. A disappointing evening.

We waited in the lobby for about 5 minutes before someone approached us and asked if they could help us. It would have been nice if someone had just acknowledged our presence and said we will be with you in a minute.
Don’t expect to find any imports here: The beer doesn’t travel that far. In fact, it’s brewed right on site. So grab a Lion’s Head Cascadia Dark Ale, take a seat and enjoy the waterfront view. Make sure you’ve built up an appetite, too: The chef here is all about local ingredients, and from the local water shrimp melt to the Cache Creek beef flank steak, the BC flavour is apparent in every bite.
Although they only have three burgers on their menu, Victoria’s only gastro brewpub has spent a lot of time perfecting them. Their vegetarian BC Beet & Lentil Burger featuring spicy sprouts, malt vinegar pickled cabbage, and tzatziki rivals their meaty Brewpub Burger. And don’t even get us started on the Braised Pulled Pork Sandwich with Cascadia dark ale BBQ sauce and aioli – we’re drooling just thinking about it! Grab yourself one of their own superb craft beers and just try to decide between the three. We dare you.
Nestled along the waterfront in the quiet neighbourhood of Vic West, Spinnakers plays host to one of the most tranquil seaside patios in the city. With a plum vantage point along the Westsong Walkway, this patio serves up picturesque harbour views, as well a tasty menu that prides itself on the freshest local ingredients. Watch the float planes land in the Inner Harbour as you dine on everything from fish and chips and brick oven pizzas, to hazelnut pâté and mutton burgers.
