Coastal cabin food for modern times. We are a tucked away portal to experiencing the rustic riches of Vancouver Island, in the middle of Victoria’s downtown core.

    It’s nice ambiance. Very cozy. Service was great. Be aware that when you order that you specify how you want the food brought out. Because it’s tapas style the veg options were served first. My husband’s intended main was served and mine not for 10 mins later. You really need to be clear if you aren’t sharing a main. The food was good. Espresso was very nice. I found it a bit over priced but it was a nice night out.

    We are always grateful for the quality of the food and for the knowledge of the wait staff. We brought our Japanese exchange chaperones here for a unique Victoria dinign expereince. The food and the ambiance is always great.

    One of our dining favs when in Victoria. Every plate is shared by the table. A great way to sample many dishes. Our table of 4 orders 4 apps and 3 mains and that is tons. Service excellent!

    This is a “must visit” restaurant in Victoria. Make a reservation or you’re unlikely to get a table. Everything about the experience is outstanding.

    As always, the food, service, and atmosphere were fantastic. Some friends from out of town were visiting and we wanted to show them WCM as we think it's one of the best restaurants in the city. Tasty cocktails, great happy hour specials, and spectacular food. We like to eat our way around the menu, trying something new each time while also enjoying the classic mainstays. A definite must-do for diners in Victoria.

    Micro Minuscule oysters. About the size of a quarter. Average everything else (pear endive salad, ricotta honey toast, tater tots, beef tartare) Ok ambiance. Uninterested servers. Meh at best.
