Vis-a-Vis

Great Food and Ambience! Reliable. Good People.

Never disappointed.

Dilapidated furniture. Tables too close and environment very noise. Onion soup was mediocre at best. Extra charge for bread. Service not great either. Absolutely no atmosphere to speak of. Overall very negative experience. Will not visit again.

A lovely lunch with a friend. Great ambience, food and service!

We were celebrating my husbands Birthday and this restaurant did not disappoint. Fabulous 25 Ounce Steak that really was equal to or better than Hys. Roasted garlic, Chimichurra Sauce on the side, Parmesan Steak Frites and vegetables of the day made this Entree more than the two of us could eat. Well worth the price! They have a great selection of wine available by the glass as well. Service was top notch. Thank you Vis-a-Vis. We will be back.

Always amazing

A limited menu but the food was very good and the service was excellent.

Staff and service are great - menu options are reduced due to Covid related staffing challenges, but what is offered is excellent. Presentation, quality of ingredients, and consistency have improved substantially in past year. Patrons need to be patient as restaurants continue to struggle with many challenges so service can take a little longer than normal. Understandable in the circumstances. Highly recommend as currently the best choice in Oak Bay.

The service was friendly and the food was delicious (best quiche, ever!) . Given these challenging times, Vis a Vis is doing an exemplary job of creating a relaxed and pleasant dining experience for their guests.

On a Challenging Short Staff Day- the Menu was modified- Food was Delicious as Always-and a Good Time was had by ALL 5

Awesome staff! Lindy Bremner

My Favourite Local Lunch/ Drink/Dining Place. Great Food, Staff, Ambience, Great Flowers ...and dare I mention the 'Head" ?! On this occasion, surprized and delighted at the management's concern re a "tight booking spot..... Highly Recommended

We waited 45 mins for our food. My Partner's salad had no flavour and her water glass was not refilled. The salad was taken off of the bill but she had no time to re-order as she had to go to an appointment. My side salad did not have much flavour either. I had the quiche which was very tasty. Our waiter was polite but seemed to have too many people to look after properly. This is my second disappointing lunch here and I will not be back.

Great service. Great gluten free options and protocol. Food was very good. Good options for the two teenagers. A very good evening.

Get the 25oz steak. You’ll have no regrets! Service was excellent, and our table wasn’t quite ready at reservation time so we got complimentary drinks at the bar while we waited. Highly recommend and hope to visit again soon

We actually ended up on the Penny Farthing side.

Fantastic meal and great service. Pleasant atmosphere. Coq-au-vin was the best I've had. Oyster we're amazing and the mussels were perfect. Fantastic wine selection. Will definitely be back.

Excellent service that was both thoughtful and engaging. Thank you Janice!

Dine Around Menu. Excellent meal. Wine pairings were great.

Great night out!

Excellent, as always. Thanks to Maeve for a great chat re: wine! Looking forward to our next visit -

Loved this cozy little place. Food was terrific, service even better. Try the Salad Nicoise, its divine and I can't say enough about the fries!

Always wonderful and last night was really exceptional service.

Everything was perfect as usual!

Excellent dinning experience . Thank you Janice.

Great food, great staff!

Everything was excellent - as we expected it to be.

Excellent Food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit!

Love Vis A Vis! The food is always fabulous, service second to none and the atmosphere truly wonderful! Hope you are keeping the hanging plates.... they add to the privacy and quietness!
