    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
    Blue Crab Seafood House - Coast Victoria Hotel & Marina by APAResponded on November 22, 2024
    Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that we continue to be a go-to spot for your special occasions.

    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.
    Blue Crab Seafood House - Coast Victoria Hotel & Marina by APAResponded on November 22, 2024
    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!

    Excellent experience and food. We had the Alaskan snow crab and it was perfect, and a generous portion. The service was friendly and helpful. Will definitely coming back for crab again.

    Such a great experience! Our England waiter was such a nice person, especially helping us to open the crabs as it was our first time eating them. Will definitely come back!

    We went there expecting a nice meal in a quiet classy restaurant. It went wrong right from the beginning. We had to wait far too long to be seated. On a positive note, we had a nice table with a lovely harbour view. We were served water and needed a little time to think about the wine list. The waiter was impatient so we quickly chose a wine bottle and ordered our dinner as soon as he brought the wine. That’s when the noise from the banquet room became unbearable. When the food came, my halibut was overcooked and dry. We had to scarf down our meal to get away from the noise. The water said it was always like that. I suggested that the door to the banquet room should have been closed to block the noise. He said it wasn’t possible and that he couldn’t do anything for us. I had also mentioned that this was a birthday celebration in my reservation but there was no mention of it from the service staff. We were disappointed and will definitely not recommend it nor return.

Please know that we value your feedback and would love the opportunity to make things right. If you are open to it, I would appreciate the chance to discuss your experience further.

    Food, service, atmosphere and harbor views were excellent. We were celebrating my 71st birthday and had crab cakes and grilled octopus appetizers, Alaskan King crab legs and whole Dungeness crab entree with lemon tart for dessert. Mike, our waiter, made it an excellent night for us.
