Had a wonderful experience tonight at the Browns on Douglas. Lexi, the hostess, was incredibly welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure that we were able to get a table and enjoy our meal. We were very impressed with her and the lengths she went to get us seated. Throughout the rest of the night, the wait staff was attentive and the food was delicious. One of our best nights here!

We loved everything!! We came in for a drink last night 5-29-25. We had eaten dinner in another restaurant down the road, it was awful! We mentioned that to Gabby, and the next thing we knew, she brought a beautiful plate of food to share, on the house. It was delicious, and we were so touched by her sweet, and caring gesture!! It turned the last night of our vacation around, and made it wonderful!! Out server Jocelyn was phenomenal as well!! I will always come back and eat there when I am in Victoria, and will highly recommend it to anyone I know who is going to visit Victoria!!! Thank you for being so amazing!!! Gabby and Jocelyn you made all the difference, and we love you both!!

It is a social house so it gets really busy and loud witch is fine but just hard to here what people at your table is saying, the food is amazing though! my favourite is their tofu dragon bowl and it's made perfectly with crispy tofu, rice and lots and veggies! they also have a really nice bathroom!

Super yummy food! I loved the butchers block burger. Crispy and tasty, not too messy. I upgraded to yam fries. We also got the southwest bowl which was good! The desserts were ok but not the best. The one thing is, it wasn’t busy or anything but I felt the service was very slow. Took a long time for them to come around to us. But the food is great ! The patio portion is heated and enclosed which is cool.
