About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Good for special occasions
Charming

Inspired West Coast Food & Legendary Location

Our menu creations reflect the ever increasing abundance of freshness that British Columbia’s West Coast has to offer. The freshest local ingredients, paired with craft beer from some of Victoria’s finest micro-breweries, and a wine list featuring BC and globally inspired wines. Steamship Grill & Bar aims to satisfy every palate.

We were inspired by the historical significance of our surroundings. Built in 1924, the Heritage Steamship Terminal building is an important landmark in the history of Victoria, BC. Designed by Francis Rattenbury in the Beaux-Arts style, it was the building that welcomed steamship passengers from all over the world. Now open to the public with a gift shop commemorating the history, the Heritage Steamship Terminal is a great place to enjoy a delicious seafood meal.

We were warmly greeted by our server, Cassandra who kindly wished our 92 year old aunt a very happy birthday which made her feel very special. Overall, service was great, table was perfect, food was excellent and most importantly our Aunt felt properly celebrated. Thank-you Cassandra and the rest of the crew for making the day extra special for her.

We had the ultimate steak and seafood platter for 2. It was delicious. Glad we didn't have an appetizer as the platter was big. Great price and our waiter Charle was fantastic

Location is good. Lighting at table could be improved, hard to read menu. Maybe a centre candle would improve the ambience. Food was good and nicely presented.

My wife and I had a nice dinner, her sirloin steak was under done, more rare than medium rare. I had the seafood platter, I'm afraid the crab legs were small and contained very little meat, which was hard to get to as the crab shells were very soft and couldn't be cracked. The rest of the platter was very good, the salmon and prawns were excellent.

My prawns were slightly over seasoned and the snow crab seemed a bit either overcooked/not as fresh. Only complain because I added this on to my $45.00 Valentines dinner which made it $83.00. I didn't mention it to the waiter Charles as he had done such a wonderful job of looking after us and I ate it all. My partner had the Fat Tug beer and I had Grey Goose Martini which was perfect! Tom Gore Cabernet was a perfect accompaniment to our choices for dinner! All in all a wonderful afternoon Valentines meal! Would eat there again!

we pre-booked for the day before Valentine’s Day because we didn’t wanna have a full restaurant in slow service. It was empty and the service was fast. The person that greeted us wasn’t very friendly and our waitress was nice but definitely needed a bit more of an upbeat personality. During our meal, we saw two mice running on the floor. I understand it’s close by the water and we probably saw them because there wasn’t many people in the restaurant, but it was kind of weird seeing mice running about. The food was good. The lobster ravioli was quite small. My partner was still hungry after. Definitely recommend the seafood mixed grill. It was good.

We dined at this restaurant to experience the Dine About Victoria set menu. They were out of lamb and steak which was our choices. Very disappointed. We ended up ordering an alternative which was okay. Not sure that we will return!
