I will never forget their roasted chicken and the little cup of gravy, they serve it with. I would go back for the chicken! The hotel that it's in is very nice and comfortable. It is also centrally located. The coffee at the Ruby was perfect. They play music off of vinyl and I liked their choices. The staff was friendly and efficient. I would definitely go back next time I'm in Victoria.

Great service and even better food. Ate there twice for breakfast and the second time was even better than the first. Had the poutine with poached eggs and homemade sausage. Only complaint I have is that I could only barely eat half, delicious. The misses had the yogurt parfait fruit thing she practically licked the bowl, no complaints. They also make a pretty good Caesar.

A most pleasant experience. Following the recommendation of another Yelper, I tried the beef brisket hash. The portions are generous, I didn't finish. The beef is tender and tasty, and the eggs! They must source these locally. Just look at the colour of the yolks! Perfectly cooked. The hollandaise was nicely acidic, and not overly rich. The hash had a great mix of crunchy and soft. The restaurant itself was clean and comfortable, nothing much to note. The service was excellent! Friendly, attentive and efficient.

The food is SPECTACULAR!!! The service is magnificent and the convenience of it being downstairs of the Best Western Plus Carlton Plaza Hotel. This is where you want to stay ~

Such extravagant meal choices! The server was so friendly and efficient. Had a bit of a waitlist and every great place will but not sure if it's "wait for an hour great"

We were visiting Victoria on a Wednesday so there was no line up for brunch! They were still fairly busy though. I had the Smoked Beef Brisket Eggs Benny and it was served on a flaky croissant! The beef brisket was very tender and came with a nice BBQ sauce. I had the eggs soft poached and they were perfect. My friend had the Breakfast Tacos that I didn't try but they were pretty stuffed and she said they were good. Both dishes came with home fries that were very crispy. They have so many options on the menu! Wish I could've tried their waffles as well.
