2. Spinnakers Gastro Brewpub

Spinnakers was better several years ago. The food is ok, and the view can be nice, but there are better spots to spend your money.

The food is middle-of-the -road, the service is poor, but at least the beer is still good. A large selection of authentic brews is available, so if you're there for a pint you'll be fine. There is a nice little bakery at the entrance and an on-site liquor store. Great view of the Inner Harbor. The restaurant is in such a beautiful spot and the structure itself is quite nice. I have no inkling why the management tolerates the low level of service. I've been there half-a-dozen times in the last few months and most of the time my party is ignored for too long, the servers are perfunctory and inattentive. If only the owner could lure away the servers from […] downtown and move them here, he'd have a lot of new and regular business. Improving service would probably translate to improvements in other areas too. There are lots of good items on the menu, but nothing I've eaten there was very exceptional. Better tasting food would likewise attract more customers. … A few tweaks and this place could be one of the best spots in Victoria for real rather than just by reputation.

If you work hard for your money, don't wasted on this place, that is all I can say......

We must have sat at the same table as Greg from Mn, ours was really rocky too and we had to keep putting match books under it for stabilization---service was poor, although the food was good. I also had checked out their website and was really anxious to try some of their "world class" ales---very much disappointed, I tried 4 different ones and came up short on all of them. The best thing about this place is the view from the dining room.

Poor service, good food, rocky table, not the experience I expected from visiting their web site.
