   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

    Ordered our usual favourites, Romaine Heart Salad with black olive puree and the West Coast tasting platter for two but were disappointed with both. Far less of the yummy black olive puree on the plate than usual. The tuna in the tuna poke seems not to have been marinated in the poke sauce ingredients.

    Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your usual favorites didn’t meet expectations this time. Your note about the black olive puree and the tuna poke is very helpful, and we’ll be sharing it with our kitchen team to ensure consistency and quality. We’d love the opportunity to make it right on your next visit. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
