Live music . Good food. Rear beer selections and friendly staff . All done up in a fancy bank building that's quite comfortable and appropriate.
Potato-chip-crusted fish and chips , good local beer selection , awesome interior, high ceilings , many leather-bound books , smells of rich mahogany
Being at the bar was the best experience, the bartender was awesome, lovely and always with a big smile. I felt in love with the place.
The service was excellent, the ambiance was wonderful, the food was delicious, went with a group of people and we were well taken care.
Beer selection is great, whiskey selection as well . Didn't try the entrees but the sides (wings and oysters ) were great.
Great food and staff . LOVE the male staff all in kilts.. Made me always wanting to. Drop my fork on the floor. :)
Bring a friend or five and order the Tower of Mimosa . if you love shakshuka , skip it here.
Service is excellent & helpful for planning activities in Victoria; portions are large & they split our entry for us
If you love red wine like I do, you should try "Portfolio" Laughin Stocks! You will love the taste of the wine layers in this complex mix!
They do a cheap early breakfast , $9 before 9am, but that's the one thing they do well .
Their veggie options have gotten a lot better! Great vibe, too.
