Reviews for Med Grill Royal Oak in Victoria, BC
Scored the last non-reserved table for two (Probably should start making reservations from now on),at 6pm last Friday night.... Nice to see the place was packed, but also looked fully staffed. Definitely reserve a table if you're determined to eat here, itreally helps. They have this large patio in the shade so it's quite nice (in my opinion) not to be too blinded by the sun andavoid being overly too hot. I didn't sit there, but it's nice to remind that it's there! Ordered the Kalamari for appetizers,my husband got the chicken sandwich with fries, and I got (super exciting for me)- a pizza combo with soup of the day. Soup wasgood for me, I liked the corn and coconut flavours. The pizza was good- not too much cheese (so I didn't feel like I was heavilyclogging the arteries), and a good amount of toppings that you'll have a bite of meat with every bite. The appetizer wasalright, although it was a little under for our taste (maybe it was meant to be served that way?), and a little bland for us(probably safer to be under salted than overly salted?). My husband was alright with his meal. Though he found it filling, itjust didn't blow him away. I have managed to visit many more times before this, and it had consistently good taste forme. Thus, 4 stars- my husband wanted to give 3.5, but I rounded up; ambience is pleasant for me, the service was prompt,servers were lovely, and everyone that came into the restaurant were greeted in a timely fashion. Of course, it is a nice placeto take your date as well. Read more
Fantastic place to go. With their recent 25-year anniversary, you can well understand their succes by their exceptional food,... service and inviting atmosphere. Lots of hard surfaces so it can be a challenge to hear, but well worth the effort. To add, Icame back because it was that good. And, these are these are the best quesadillas I've ever had outside Latin America!!! Read more
Everything was excellent and seemingly effortless? Staff were kind and courteous without being over the top. Steak cooked... perfectly and they didn?t bat an eye with me making a few substitutions. My partners meal (Prosciutto wrapped Chicken) came outa few minutes after mine (The only minor demerit) but both entrees were exceptionally plated and absolutely delicious. Again,great service, food quality and atmosphere. Will be returning. Read more
The exterior and location are a little deceiving as it gave off a different vibe (the sign reminded me of Mexican cuisine) ????... but the inside was a great space to enjoy a family friendly meal. Service was very accomodating and the food was as well.Appetizers were great to share and the set meal options were good and had extremely reasonable pricing. We all left happy andfull. Read more
The outside of this place can seem a little deceiving but the inside is beautiful, very classy! Arrived before 5:00pm and was... able to get seated without a reservation but within half an hour the restaurant was nearly full! The menu is definitely upscalethey also have a set three course menu which I had and I thought was fantastic! I had the Dungeness crab avocado toast, Ling codwith risotto and a Bailey's chocolate ganache to finish. The food was very memorable and reasonably priced. Would definitelyrecommend and be a repeat customer. Read more
Always busy so you need to reserve. Good selection of meal options. Everyone enjoyed their meal. I ordered the 3 course special... with my main being pulled pork canneloni...it was delicious ????. One issue is that it gets very noisy. We'll be back. Read more
Got lucky enough to get a table without making a reservation. Enjoyed all the food we received. We got the roasted Salmon Cobb... salad and a half size of the prosciutto mission fig flatbread, half size pear Pecan salad & espresso cheesecake (?????) all verydelicious. Sat outside on their patio and the prices were reasonable. Read more
So much bread. Food was average with nothing to write home about except that each main (and soup) comes with a giant piece of... bread. This bread, while tasting fine, had nothing to dip it in and us honestly most of a meal in its own right. Soup of theday was a coconut & corn bisque which was weirdly chunky, overwhelmingly corn flavoured and not very creamy. The Mediterraneanbread had a white sauce that was more runny then flavourful. The Thai pasta dish (yes, saying Thai pasta out loud should beenough to know not to order it) was lacking in flavour and the only noteworthy flavour was coconut. The meat in the Carpacciowas on the dryer side and the pizza had a abundance of oil. On the bright side, our server was nice. A more honest reviewwould be 2.5 but google doesn?t have that so I?m rounding up. Read more
