REVIEWS OF Marina Restaurant IN Oak Bay

Brian Leung

Great food, accommodating and friendly service and wild seals to visit when you're done!

Kevin Gillett

Unfortunately I have to report our table of friends all agreed it was some of the worst sushi any of us have had. Great view , below average services and overpriced. To bad we used to go there several times a year with large parties.

Terry Johnson

First time having lunch here Its reputation preceded it and we were not disappointed. Service, food and ambiance were perfect. What surprised me was how reasonable the prices were considering it is peak season in Victoria. Am so happy to recommend this to one and all.

Annie Kingston

Spent a lovely afternoon here with a crisp glass of Prosecco and this awesome sashimi platter. 10/10

Henry Kamphof

The wind was howling outside, but it was warm and friendly inside

Abdi Qarebash

The food was a 50/50 split. The chowder, the crazy ninja roll and the fish from the fish and chips were all very good. The fries and the crispy kale salad weren't that good. Also the sushi chef leaves at 8:00pm so say bye to your late night sushi dreams.

Justin Curran (Vicengineer)

The sushi is fresh and delicious. Great location.

Kat Crow

We had an amazing time here yesterday. The service was excellent, the food prepared to perfection with flair and they had no issues working with my allergies.

Shawn DeWolfe

Good view , pricy Food is soso

Tommy Briggs

Dropped in. No reservation. got seated right away. Great food and service. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, there is no lobster or crab. I used to get lobster and crab and I miss it.

Anthony Dason

Service was good, food (Sushi) enjoyable though not outstanding, but the decor tired and both seating and ambiance, mediocre.

Tom Wolf

Great setting, views across the water via a nice Marina. Good service and a menu with local options. My catch of the day featured steelhead trout on leafy green vegetables with a creamy sauce. Boiled, half radishes were a nice crisp surprise.

David Gartshore

Very slow service. Nice view. Food 8 out of ten. Bit noisy.

Enjoyed the Valentine's Day special menu. Disappointed that the tablecloths no longer enhance the table.

Cara Jones

Very good but no ice for the water...a small thing but it would be nice.

philip harris

Wonderful location and staff. Kate was our server and she made it all worthwhile!

Evan Kurtz

Great atmosphere, customer service and menu. Love to see more plant based options on the menu and focusing on local. Great place for the whole family to enjoy.

Melissa Ratcliff

Great food with an amazing selection of local cuisine, and ocean wise seafood. Best part though has to be the view, on a clear day you can see all the way to the mainland with a view of the ocean and the marina itself. The food was positively delicious, the service was excellent, and the drink selection was great. Highly recommend.

Heidi Slauenwhite (A Drop of Wellness)

The food was satisfactory but the service was very disappointing. That guy was the worst server i have ever seen!!!!! Terrible experience ever.

Si W

Amazing atmosphere, clean, wonderful staff, great food. Glad to see that there are vegan options, albeit modifying the vegetarian ones.

Thomas J.

The Sunday brunch is great but it is not cheap.

Ian Robertson

Great service, excellent buffet brunch, terrific view of the marina. I should note that it is $35cnd per person, so not exactly a bargain.

TW Twohundred

Stunning views. The chowder was excellent. Great staff. Beautiful place. Seals were entertaining.

Carley Haynes

Amazing food, amazing service! Highly recommend the oysters and pavlova...although not at the same time! Great combination of fabulous food and a relaxed atmosphere. Cannot speak highly enough of this place!

PerryKari G

The servers here are so wonderful. They went above and beyond to accommodate our food allergies. Also A plus for a fancy restaurant offering kid menus with crayons and activities. It really helps! Also the food was delicious!

Wendy Van El

We have been there several times ,we find the meals average,the wine & drinks too expensive, the service is good.

Gayle Wigmore

We had a very good dining experience at the Marina Restaurant. The Buttermilk Calamari was a great appy with very tender calamari and crispy pieces of red pepper. The Panaco Crusted Halibut and fries were good as well. I had the Albacore Tuna and it was excellent. Our friends had the Lamb as a main course and they enjoyed this as well. We were all too full to have dessert. The server that we had was very attentive.

Andrew McMillan

Don't know why this place isn't busier. People walk right up to you and just toss food at you. It's amazing. If you don't like fish then I'd pass. I mean if you don't like raw fish I'd also pass. If you don't like wading in the water while you wait for strangers to throw raw fish at you hard pass. Actually, if you're not a seal, I'd pass.

Preston Webb

Prime viewing spot to watch the sunset over the marina. The raw seared Albacore Tuna and pumpkin puree was amazing. Service really attentive here.

Brian Green

Nice setup. Lots of outdoor seating. Great walking area. Good is greatly improved. My only quibble is preset tip amounts on the cash terminal starting at 15 percent. I guess I still equate tipping with amount of service provided

Robert Mitchell

Great place to easy. High end dinner, but very reasonable breakfast and lunch menu.

Jzvic

Food is really good. Fish dishes are perfectly done. I would recommend this restaurant to you.

Souparno Bandyopadhyay

Great food. Courteous server. Amazing views of the marina. But, you pay the price. Nice spot for a date or going out with guests from work. They have ample parking and the location is also great so you can go out for a stroll along Beach Dr. Will go there again. Their menu could do with some more options for vegetarians.

Kyle John

Delicious sushi and great views.

Maggie Hoang

We have been eating at the Marina Restaurant for years, and it has always been consistently good and the recent sushi menu updates are delicious. You can enjoy a lovely view of the boats in the marina from the bar, and order food from the main menu or sushi bar. The cocktails are also excellent.

Doug Williamson

I have eaten in both the main dining area and the sushi bar. I found both side to be great. When we sat on the sushi bar side and wanted to order from the main menu, they were really accommodating.

TheGreggers69

Excellent environment and food.

Yukai Asakura (ユカイ)

Lunch Service and good was excellent.. We'd been there before and returned for another great experience. Sorry no photos today but we had the seafood wrap and crab cakes. We will return in the future.

Christine Best

Terrible service. We happened to be driving by and decided to stop in. The hostess advised that they were going to be fully booked but had a table for two that would only allow an hour and a half instead of the usual two hours. I said no problem, we just wanted to grab a quick bite and go to the ferry. We were seated and the place was empty, and given menu's and water. Then left for 20 minutes. No one greeted us. No one asked us if we'd like to have a drink. No one took our order. So we left. You would think that they know this table is reserved in an hour and a half so why not hurry the service? Rude. And I would not recommend unless you like to be ignored.

Augustina Sia Saygnavong

Outstanding cuisine. A local favourite and I can see why. Have eaten here many times and never had a disappointing course. Excellent views too!

Marc Lefebvre

Wonderful staff. Very good appetizers. Very good steak

Hedi K

Victorias best Sunday Brunch! Amazing Setting!

Todd Morgan

Good quality food with an amazing view! Great service and a classic setting.

Erin Mcgregor

The place is great, food medium and staff friendly

Lanaya Dale

Wow, I had what might have been the best meal of my life here! The food was phenomenal! Went here with my spouse on our 11th anniversary and although it was quite pricey, it was perfect for a special occasion. Really friendly and quick service!

Rhian McKee

Even on a gray day like today, the Marina is fabulous. Brunch food offers something for everyone, it includes all the classics done just right and creative variety including sesonal local foods. Very fresh. I loved the small rasberry pancakes, seafood choices, the omlette station where the chef will prepare the omlette of your choice. I had a small one which left room to try other things because I wanted to have room for desert - so many to choose from ... loved their signiature chocolate mouse which is light and just right with coffee. Staff are very attentive and curtious, the marina view is superb and relaxing - makes for such a perfect Sunday. After brunch we enjoyed a long walk along th Beach Drive to Willows Beach. Or you can have a shorter walk of the Marina, see the seals (the gift shop sells fish to feed the seals) they are so much fun to watch. Definetly returning.

Robert Wright

Lunch

Shafqat Ullah

Good food and service.

Julian Ripley

Great views and menu. Seafood is always fresh...

Steven Dzilvelis

Solidly good experience. The chefs plate with Albacore was fantastic. The view of the marina is charming. They should let you order more sushi from the restaurant though. Oh, and the bathrooms could use a lot of help.

PF M

All of the people that made this place so popular in the 70's are still coming to dine here, so get ready for a load of grey hairs. Good food and great service. Beauty views and the value is decent.

Leon Brown

Amazing views of Oak Harbour and Mt Baker. Fresh sockeye for me and halibut for my wife. Simply delicious.

Julie Jewell

Food is always good. Staff is always very kind..view is always pretty.

Laith B

I have been eating in this restaurant for years. Ambiance is fantastic. Food is not very consistent you may get lucky. Great sushi+++

apollobaby

Foods are great with nice view!

Chelsey Walsh

I'm very sad. Came for my birthday dinner and my steak was not cooked right and the dish tasted really bad. I tried eating as much as I could but I had to stop less than a quarter way through my meal. I told the server when she packed up it wasnt done right and she just ignored my comment, packed it up, and charged it. We came because we remembered it being so good, but it was such a disappointment. Not happy when paying high prices for bad food.... I wish someone would have fixed it, I left very upset and now will never be returning. What happend to this place?

Christina Chen

Dining food and sushi is excellent. Great view. Enjoyable atmosphere.

Travis Taylor

If your looking for a good seafood restaurant, keep looking. Service is slow and food is poorly done, not that the price reflects these issues. We deliberately made a reservation for a birthday. Upon arriving they had not prepared for our party. We waited for an hour to get service and then the food was barely eatable. Not what I would expect from a restaurant on the ocean in a city of foodies. Then we paid more then we would at a private club or fancy restaurant.

Derek Dawson

My wife and I went for our fifteenth wedding anniversary. First impressions are good but I think its largely because of the view. Once seated we felt the decor was looking tired and out dated. The service was great and all the employees were very friendly and accommodating. We ordered the calamari to start wich was excellent and highly recommended. My wife orded the halibut and i got the tuna steak with paella. Thats were it fell flat for us. Yhe main courses were just ok, the tuna was not seasoned well and bone cold. The paella was under cooked and had far too many contrasting flavors. It wasn't the worst food ive been subjected to but for the cost and expectations, it fell flat. In the end, i wouldn't go out of my way to return to the Marina Restaurant.

Shannon Mei

We had the kale salad and each a sablefish entre. The salad was delicious! But the sablefish entre and the rice and veggies that came with it was extremely salty which was disappointing. All in all, we enjoyed the service and ambience.

C J

Very busy for brunch..get a reservation for sure

Neil Deezy

great menu selection and you can just walk into the sushi bar area without a reservation and normally no wait either

Val Foster

Dine in

Paul Summerville

For $36 dollars I received a miniscule piece of luke warm halibut and some tasteless rice. So over priced for what you get. The ambience is great, but be prepared to leave hungry.

N'Donna Russell (MisutheWitch)

Very very good food and service. Salmon special and prawn spaghetti. Both very good. Beef medallions also good. Alex was our server and did a great job.

Tali Cherniawsky

This restaurant is such a nice romantic place. Right on the ocean. We asked for an ocean view table and we were accommodated. The setting is such a pleasant one. The service was Ok and the food was Ok but the portions was small for what we paid. Overall, it’s worth it.

Beverly Carter

Simply sensational Sushi! The Marina Restaurant is open with excellent Safe distance procedures in place for dine in. The regular menu isn’t yet available but they have full Sushi bar options. The quality & presentation of this food is exquisite. They also have take out sushi and fish and chips available. We dined in & as always loved the marina views. #thinklocalvictoria #yyjrestaurant

John “Jay” McGowan

Attentive service for brunch. A very good selection of good at the brunch buffet. A beautiful view of the Oak Bay Marina from the restaurant windows.

Dex Owen

Nice view. Great service and food

Siamak Sanati

Im not one who typically gives a bad review, however, this restaurant was not worth the experience. All our food was overcooked and lacked flavor with exception of the chicken.

James S

Good food. Great atmosphere. Service was good. Can't complain!

Margaret Guyjones

Amazing food, excellent service and a comfortable atmosphere with wonderful views

Marie-Ève Gagné

I love going to the Marina restaurant at any time of day: sought-after brunch, delicious lunch, and fine-dining dinner! The halibut fish and chips is a favorite, but you can’t go wrong with any of the fish plate, and the catch of the day is always a good option! Fish and seafood is extensively displayed in the menu, but there are vegetarian and meat options as well.

Oleg G

Great food an an amazing server but the service was very very slow 2 1/2 hours for an app and 2 mains. If it wasnt for our server I would have been a lower rating.

Laura Meadows

Very nice views of Oak Bay Marina and beyond; good food and a nice presentation.

Athena H. Razis

Probably the best seafood in Victoria. If only they would stop refilling your wine glass.

Aliciela Lewis

Great seafood and beautiful view of the marina. Staff was friendly and provided excellent service.

David Gleeson

Great setting overlooking the marina. Good food and friendly service.

Kiran Patel

Great view of the marina. Staff was friendly and balanced with the right amount of attentiveness. There is a la carte and a tasting menu. Tasting menu is good value. There is also a sushi bar. I would go back or recommend to a friend.

John Soanes (lost2gether)

Set menu at $90 and wine pairing at $45 on NYE to be completely disappointed with a disgusting main course of snot potatoes that was sent back and oxidized wine. No apologies, and paid full prize. If vegetarian, save your money and avoid this place at all costs!

Kristy Vidal

Outstanding plated brunch menu available now!

Peter MacLeod

Great views of the ocean for a nice Sunday brunch good cocktails

Veronica K

A little overpriced but the view was beautiful. Staff were really friendly. Food was ok. I had to get dessert after my main meal because I did not feel full which is rare for me.

L Moon

Beautiful view and place. The sushi is the best I've had in town.

Williamjames Sarginson

Great view, a unique and delicious menu, super friendly service.

Eva Cannings

This place is really great. They have an extensive sushi menu that is top notch as well as great fine dining. If you want sushi make sure to specify though because they only do it on one side. The view is spectacular and the service is very professional.

Ryan Taylor

The staff were kind and efficient. Our party had three young children. The kid's meals were just as delicious as the adult's and their needs were well accommodated. The fish was the freshest I've ever had, and deliciously prepared.

Eilene Martin

Went to the place this morning with my friend during buffet hour, and was told "go to the coffee house downstairs for affordable price" and "if you are rich enough for the buffet price you can get in", oh, and also "do you know what is BUFFET?" Wow, such a fascinating attitude towards customers, this was the first time in my life I got assumed as not affordable for a buffet. We tool a glance at the buffet section, it was quite tiny and I did not see much seafood. Anyway, we left the place and will never come back.

Nick Anderson

We always sit on the sushi side. Great service, great views and great fish.

Mandi Blaschczok

Fantastic food. Great service. Breathtaking view. What more do you want...

Daniel Riviere

Took my wife for brunch on her birthday and it was great. The food was excellent and service was great. More expensive then we are use to however it is wroth it on a special occasion.

Carl Neilson

Very nice view in the evening and good food as well. Great services!

Mary-Anne Pechet

Had a lovely lunch today! Quality food, nice service and beautiful views.

Chris Jarrett (joeyjones)

Fabulous view, delicious buffet selections, friendly staff.

Linda Ng Thomson

Yummy food / good service - very nice view

Geko Treker

Bringing my physically challenged parents to this location was easily done. Handicap parking nearby and a ramp made access successful. It's Christmas season and our evening table sparkled with the marina lights below. How charming the whole evening was. Thank you to the attentive staff for their care and attention. We are looking forward to seeing you all again soon!

Jean-Paul Thuot

We used to come to the Marina as a treat, for brunch. The service and the food were always excellent, as was the view. This is no longer the Marina we knew. The service was incredibly poor, and slow, and the food very middle of the road. It took us just shy of 10 minutes to have water delivered to our table, and another 10 before our waitress brought coffee. Almost an hour for our food, which was very middle of the road. We didn't want to complain but felt compelled to. The manager investigated and agreed that we had waited too long and comped our meal but by then, it was moot. The service was bad, the attention to detail was lacking (we paid for an extra serving of coffee cake because we were famished, and the waitress brought it in a dirty basket with our previously used butter dish), and our food was mostly cold once it arrived. We won't be back for a long time. Two stars instead of one because the meal was taken care of by the manager, the hostess was lovely and the coffee was good.

HS Madan

I recommend this place. I loved it! They even had miso soup which I'm a big fan of! 5 STARS!!!!

Bruce Murray

Excellent views of the marina. Good food. Fast and friendly service. Went with a large group and we all had a good experience.

cheri g

Fish in the fish and chips was dry, Wagu burger was just ok. I don’t mind paying for good quality but this was too expensive for what we got.

Larry Cole

Delicious food! Definitely make a reso so you don’t have to sit at the bar like I did! Don’t want to miss the views of the marina!

Allan Miller

My starter fried calamari was too salty, Main course taboola salad had tones of onion and parsley with a two pieces of cherry tommatos and 2 pieces of dry burned broccoli

Donna Van Isle Silver Fox

I recently celebrated my 60th birthday. Due to Covid travel restrictions we decided to take a Staycation in Victoria BC, our home! For 10 days we went out every evening to a local restaurant for dinner. We reserved a table atOak Bay Marina restaurant on Thursday Aug 12 and were seated at a lovely table for 2 at the window overlooking the Marina. We ordered 3 appetizers and shared a Main. The food arrived timely and hot in the order we requested. Our server Cal was efficient entertaining. The ambience was casual yet sophisticated. We enjoyed the experience as we watched the sun setting on the Bay. We highly recommend Oak Bay Marina restaurant away from the bustle of downtown and spectacular views of the Georgia Strait and majestic Mt. Baker.

Kirk Buhne

So tasty! Great view.

Anar J

The ambiance, food and service were excellent; However, the only disappointment was that we requested few slices of bread with our appetizer and couple slim slices were served and nothing was mentioned. Upon receiving the bill there was a charge of 2:00 dollars for these couple of extra slices whereas you can buy a whole small baguette. For such a high end restaurant that was a bit tacky. It’s not the amount it is the approach.

Lorne Moore

Had a wonderful time and superb meal.

Jeff Kennedy

Food is nicely done and the atmosphere is upscale.

Ross MacIntyre

Great food, great view, great spacious restaurant.

mike healey

Great view of the marina, lovely food, friendly staff.

wcresponder

Been here on many occasions and many brunches always had good food and has one of the best views in the city. Nice place for a romantic dinner.

Niel Johnston

The view is beautiful and when dinner came, I had high expectations. Unfortunately the food was overpowered by all the sauces. The natural taste of the fresh seafood is lost.

Russell Kane

Incredible Sunday brunch buffet and service was great

Norman Spector

Great variety brunch menu,nice view of the Marina from all seats.Recommend reservation.

Carole Voss

Great food with a view. If you are in the area I would highly suggest stopping in.

Wende Hinkelman

Great room facing the marina. Good service. Food average

Beatrice Neal

This restaurant is situated on the water..a beautiful location in Oak Bay in Victoria with lots of walking and bike paths. The food was tasty.Our disappointment was the waitress and perhaps the restaurants rules? We took our daughter out on her birthday, St. Patricks Day. The waitress was very forgetful on various levels. At the end of an awkward lunch experience we got charged for our daughters birthday dessert. We actualy have never been to a restauraunt when celebrating a birthday and not had it on the house as a nice gesture. Thought this was a bit odd. Was it our waitress once again...or do they not adhere to this kind gesture? Not sure but we left unimpressed .

G V

Good fast'ish food. Good specialty coffees. Large deck but loses sun mid afternoon. Views over peacful marina. Plenty of. Parking even in high season.

Zohar Stefanic

Terrible Service . The quality of food was below standards . The food was uncooked and it tasted like the legumes came from a frozen bag . When we pointed it out to the manager she was argumentative and tried to be right instead of solving the problem. We went to the restaurant with the intention of having a nice family dinner and instead it ended up being a very bad experience.

Curtis Erickson

I went for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The food was great, the service was excellent, a little pricy but considering the beautiful view it was well worth it. Definitely coming back.

Stephen Gwyn

Price is reasonable because of the pretty food, nice service and amazing view

Derrick Pelley

Great food and great service. Brunch is a must try.

mack cummy

I had the fish and chips. I had a cold and a pretty stuffy nose so I couldn't get all the flavours but from what I could taste it was good and the food was hot when served too and the portions fairly generous for the price. The view was nice and the service was good. After. I fed the sea lions and an otter at the lower dock.

Abby Armstrong

Meh. Food was ok. For better food, try Brasserie L’ecole or La Bodega. Nice view - you could have that at Milestones for a better price.

b morsy

Limited menu, but the food was excellent. The view alone is worth a visit. Every seat had a view which is nice

Gabriel Lai

Great food and great views. One of my favorite restaurants.

Klaus Lau

Great place for brunch or dinner....food is excellent and the view

Blair Mahaffy

Terrible sushi. Terrible salty.

Jimmy Y

Lunch October 10 with visitors from Vancouver. Review by Geoffrey Voss : As far as my lunch was concerned the quality and the quantity were below expectations. The spinach was course and warm, the chicken portion small, some pieces were warm and there was really nothing else except some small red flakes, all mounted above a thin layer of yellow plating sauce. Previous meals have been good so this was very disappointing.The waitress was excellent, the service very good.

Trevor Roberto

Well this has been a restaurant since 1963. A staple for oak bay and a gem for visitors. A world class sushi bar and chef. Fresh halibut, secret tartar sauce and some amazing coal slaw. Say hi to Chef John and support local.

Almuhajer Alsaudi

Service

Yiting Chang

Very good views and service. Food was good too but pricey for the portion size.

Melinda Budgell

Nice view and a little overpriced, but that was expected. What wasn’t expected was that the staff were very uneducated about the dietary information of their menu items Specifically what is Gluten free. I was assured by the waitress a few times that all their sushi is gluten free. It is not, I spent the night in pain after ingesting what is poison to my body. I have since learned that their sushi is not gluten free and only some of it can be made GF. To the OBM management, Please educate your staff!!

Jody Medernach

Just what you'd expect. A very nice restaurant with good food and a great view. Too bad the service is agonisingly slow.

L. M. Hiscock

Went there for after my son's University Graduation for lunch with the family. It was really busy & our service was fantastic! The restaurant has beautiful views of the Marina where ever you sit. Their lamb curry, with naan bread was delicious. I highly recommend it for a special occasion!!

K M (Kai)

Aside from the splendid location and view, best sushi in Victoria

Kai Hirai

Mediocre sushi, got some to go and didn’t get chopsticks or soy sauce. Poor quality and quantity for the high price

Cameron Bird

Very interesting and unusual food combinations that worked very well together and nice atmosphere as well

martynas jon

Breathtaking views, great light snacks, lunch and beer or wine!

derek whitmore

A longtime favourite. Wonderful food and warm service, all alongside a view that can't be beat.

Janine Dukes

This restaurant serves Kuterra salmon. This is farmed Atlantic salmon. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Farming fish is strange thing to do, especially in a coastal Province. In BC the salmon offered should be from local waters - ie wild pacific salmon !!

Ciara Goldsmith

Fantastic food; I got the “catch of the day” special, which was tuna. Super fresh tasting and presentation was great. Would go again! The Big Ben cocktail was also delicious. There is also a really nice view of the marina. Reservations would be wise for a larger group or during the dinner rush, as it was quite busy when we went.

Bob Melis

Trust me this place is no go! It looks nice and cool but food is just not good.

Cathi Robinson

Very disappointing Basically the food is way too expensive for what you get and the menu is very misleading. We ordered ceviche and what came was one prawn, one scallop and one calamari and some veggies but was not prepared like ceviche so sharing as an appy didn't happen. Next came the main course of prawns, scallops and gnocchi except there were not any gnocchis which we sadly pointed out to the server. A plate came with some gnocchi which was way too salty after we were finished with the seafood. Then for dessert came 3 teeny tiny truffles on a large plate. At that point we all had a good laugh as it looked so pathetic. The place was quite empty for a Friday night and the manager did not offer anything to offset our disappointing experience. He did apologize though We did not pay for the ceviche I might add because it really wasn't ceviche. We are locals and we will not be going back. Too bad. It was a good place until they jacked the prices up but didn't back it up with substance.

İma A

Beautiful location, refined ambiance. The 'Dining Around' menu was delicious and good value. Very friendly service.

Mila Hunt

The best brunch in Victoria. Excellent food and service!

Will Tay

My wife and I absolutely adore this restaurant. If it be for a special dinner, casual dining, some sushi or libations, The Marina never ceases to satisfy in every account of the word. It is my pleasure to be able to place a 5 star review from two life long Victoria residents. If you haven't experienced the enjoyment of the view, the staff and the food you are missing out. Always lots of parking also!

Helen Martindale

I was there for a professional meeting and there were two problems: The noise level was too high for comfortable conversation. The meal was served so late that I had to leave after the appetizer. I do not know who was responsible such a late meal on a "work" night. The food and drinks I did have were very good.

ozz

The Oak Bay Marina Restaurant has long been a favorite of mine whenever I'm visiting in Oak Bay. They didn't disappoint this time either. The food and service were exceptional. I can definitely recommend the Marina Restaurant.

Sean English

Best view in Victoria with window seating. Friendly efficient service. Great lunch specials particularly local fish. Best sushi in Victoria.

Jinxian Ruan

Great food and nice location! Only thing i would have liked was warmed plates.

Jonathan Reis

Abieance delightful, Food quality #1 ,great presentation, full flavour,and prompt friendly servers ,and of course the outstanding views !????

Brydie Griffin

Excellent views, unique menu with perfectionism apparent in every offering. Watch the gulls, sailboats and bustle of ocean breezes while dining and drinking in the comfort of this beautiful restaurant. Gorgeous bar overlooks a jazz club style seating arrangement. Booths and a sushi bar with open kitchen offers a pleasant and tasteful distraction. Nothing predictable here. Also features a few vegan options that are creative and convincingly vegan-designed and prepared. Go here!

Kalia Leslie

Lovely ambience, amazing view of the water, and some of best dessert I have ever had. Also, it had an amazing kid meal selection. Would go again!

Alison Sheppard

Amazing view, good atmosphere, nice staff, food is average and doesn't match the price. I gave 3* one off for the food and * off for the prices.

nelson teskey

Took my wife to Marina Restaurant for Sunday Brunch....food and service were 10 out of 10. Thank you Greg and staff for a nice birthday morning for J. Cheers! Larry

Janet Hutson

Had brunch buffet today. The food was ok..nothing special. VERY expensive for what was available and the quality. $42.95 per person. Surroundings are nice...and service was good. If it wasn't for those 2 elements..I would have given a 2 star rating for food.

Shelagh Benner

Food quality went from “wow!!!” to “ok” in 2018. Used to be my favorite place in Victoria — not anymore. Not worth the price now. Need to get the quality back to the old level.

Linda Rocha

Only had burgers, but really good. Will try again with different food. Great view of the marina.

eric duong

A tourist destination. Perfect service by Erick and our compliment to the chef. Great atmosphere. Exceptional view overlooking the marina during sunset. Excellent menu. Definitely come back again.

Bruce McKay

Nice place, good food, prices reasonable. Nice views. However i didn't get what I ordered but got something close. They offered to replace it but I said it was fine.

Alison Le Corre

Fabulous fare. Local gem. Everything arrived at the table hot. The Sablefish was excellent. Service was very good. I was a little shocked to see Farmed, Kuterra Salmon on the menu given that the restaurant is owned by the Oak Bay Marine Group -- whose core business is fishing charters. Aquaculture, farmed salmon are one of the largest threats to wild salmon stocks. It's enough for me to not return.

Raoul Duke

You have on your menu Tabbouleh salad , and yours has nothing related to Tabbouleh , maybe only the name , and when I asked what is this ? the answer was, oh , it's another version of Tabbouleh . Please name your salad something else , you're giving the famous salad a bad reputation , at the same time deceiving your customers , I was excited that I found my favourite Tabbouleh salad on your menu ,then shocked to discover that it's totally something else . I'm from Lebanon , so I know what Tabbouleh is . Please , change the name. Every thing else was good .

Carol Topalian

We ate here last night. The appy was truly delightful, and I left not one crumb. The main was a bit too soggy; there was a thin layer of unrendered/uncrisped fat on the otherwise perfectly cooked pork chop. I left a third of it. I go to this restaurant with my friend about 3 times per year. 80% of the time, the experience is excellent. We will continue going.

We love their Sunday brunch! They have more choices than others, but they can add a bit more like their spiced calamari, seafood chowder and more Japanese food. Staffs are super friendly and the view is amazing!

What a GREAT spot! The chef has paired flavors that blow your mind and entice your taste buds. The staff are helpful and friendly. Don't even get me started on the scenery and atmosphere. I can't wait for my next visit.
