Cafe Brio - Victoria

Ambience: we sat outsideatmosphere was great! Food: we ordered the halibut, crab risotto, and seafood brothLoved the halibut & risotto.

Family meal is terrible value and the quality is nothing special.

My wife and I celebrated an anniversary a week agoGreat service, we were seated quickly and the staff was attentive.

Amazing special occasion dinner. Exceeded expectations. We needed a reservation for a weeknight and every chair was filled. We were seated immediately and the greeter was cheerful. Our server did a nice job walking us through the menus and we opted for the chefs selection of six dishes for a fixed price of $69 each which is a good value. The meal was soup, beet salad, charcuterie, gnocchi, chicken confit halibut. The quantity of food was large but the quality was what shone! The cured duck pastrami was both unexpected and outstanding. Each of the dishes was perfectly prepared and showed creativity and an excellent example of bringing the most from a dish. For example the gnocchi which is a very mild dish was paired with a mushroom pesto. They have bar seating group seating and several intimate couples tables. My only criticism is the bathroom needs a bigger better exhaust fan.

Absolute decadence ! Loved their in house cured meats selections, had the duck pastrami and lamb salami even their homemade pickled veggies and honey mustards to pair with the meats were scrumptious ! Did half orders of the seared scallop and lamb special beautifully balanced saltiness with sweetness in both dishes Loved the look and smell of the rose cocktail but was a bit on the sweet side Atmosphere was lovely, restaurant patio and exterior looked like an Italian cottage in the countryside ! Patio was also accommodating for my puppy which is a big plus Overall, loved the food and can’t wait to come back and try more of everything !
