   After years of frequenting the Blue Crab, lounge and restaurant, it was disappointing to receive such slow service from a long-term employee who seemed to wish he was anywhere but there. The food as usual was superb but that’s only half the equation. Hospitality is also show business and attentive service is expected at a high end restaurant like the Blue Crab.

   Hotel restaurant with lovely view of outer harbour. Its been there a long time and needs an upgrade but still comfortable. Food was average, lots of seafood as name suggests. Better restaurants in Victoria.

   An excellent place in the harbour area, off the beaten path of downtown restaurants. The view is great summer or winter, the food is excellent, and the service is attentive without being overbearing. No complaints, and we’ll be back again.

   The atmosphere was very enjoyable, the lights on the harbor beautiful. The service was very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate. The chowder was fabulous.

   We come to Victoria annually to escape the American Thanksgiving chaos and always find ourselves at the Blue Crab for at least one of our meals. My birthday often falls during this time and the staff at the restaurant always makes it special. And this year, scallops were back on the menu!

    We dine here quite frequently, generally for occasions and it never disappoints. The halibut was absolutely amazing, the mussels were perfection. There was a group of 20 but they sectioned them off so it was not noisy and our service time was not affected at all
