Opening in 1991, this Victoria institution in dining is located downtown Victoria. Amazingly I have never been here so while downtown me and my wife went here for lunch.
Inside it is not very wide but very long with wood paneling, floors and antique bar. It definitely has a comfortable feel to the place. As a note, their web menu is out of date.
I started with a bowl of their soup of the day, Mulligatawny. Its bottomless between 1130am and 230pm. It was delicious and hearty with lots of ingredients and flavors. For my main I had a half dozen baked oysters, their specialty, flavored six different ways. Each oyster was firm and tasty with the baked ingredients adding to the oyster taste instead of distracting from it.
My wife had the pasta carciofi (artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, nicoise olives, capers, spinach and a hint of anchovy, with linguine, garlic, olive oil and grated parmesan). She shared a bite and it was divine. I'm definitly having that next time I eat hear and there will be a next time with the flavors and atmosphere of this place.
Try to sit near the bar to read the dog and pug quotes.
