3. Cafe Brio

was a good restaurant 3 yrs ago. over-rated over priced. good for frist date etc

This place is completely over-rated. I don't get what the hype is about. I found all our food incredibly pedestrian, and uncreative. I had a caprese salad and they even screwed that up! How do you do that? By using cheap ingredients. Instead of fresh Buffulo Mozzerella, they substituted slices of regular rubbery mozzerella cheese. At these prices, at a supposed Italian cafe, that was unforgiveable. The ambience of the restaurant also didn't sit well with us, which didn't feel like the upscale restaurant they claim to be. I was very disappointed I wasted a special occasion on this place.

Ambiance and exceptional quality of food along with one of the best wine lists (BC wines in particular) in the City.

Excellent food and service. A wonderful dining experience each time I am in Victoria.
