Reviews for Q at The Empress in Victoria, BC
Very nice restaurant. A romantic atmosphere, with live music. The decor and grand ceilings were beautiful throughout the entire... place. We went on Sunday evening. Had some drinks in the lounge which were delicious and the drink I order had a nice purple toit very pretty. Went to sit for our dinner in the restaurant for their Sunday roast dinner. Simply delicious . Every bite .Cooked to perfection - recommend to anyone for a romantic date night or just want a very nice meal. The staff was alsoincredibly polite and on point definitely helped make the night. Can’t wait to visit Victoria again and visit Q at The Empressfor another amazing meal. Read more
Atmosphere is very nice and high end. Service was very good, waiter was very on top of water and refills for our drinks. I had... the Lamb and without a doubt this was the best lamb I have ever had. The crust was made to perfection, very crisp but not burntand season very well. The lamb flavor was present but not over barring. When I took a bit of the lamb, this was one of the fewtimes I had to pause and close my eyes to full immerse myself in what I was eating. I would 100% recommend the lamb. Read more
Received a gift certificate and used it with my partner. Server was polite enough and very professional as there definitely is... an image to be held there I guess. It got busier around 6pm. Food was good, but we were able to splurge as the gift certificatewas an appetizer, entree, and dessert per person with no maximum. The entrees are pricey.. $40 for a chicken dish ! But they arequality ingredients and you're also dining in a touristy spot of the city (we were asked where we were visiting from by theserver for small talk). The other customers were dressed very casual to. Read more
Excellent cuts, not over seasoned to hide anything, tomahawk pork chops were tender and nice flavor! Cedar wrapped salmon was... moist and paired well with asparagus and greens. Honey butter and bread was a great starter! Finished off with house churned icecream and sorbet, and a berry trifle! Both were very creamy and tasty, not over sweet! Read more
We’ve been to Q a couple of times now. The first was summertime and enjoyed an outdoor dinner that overlooked the harbour. All... the food was fantastic and the drinks were well crafted. Our second time we enjoyed sitting in their lounge and enjoyed latenight pizza, complimentary popcorn, and some incredible desserts. The ambiance was lovely and we had excellent service from ourwaiter. A highly recommended experience if you’re willing to spend the money on it. Read more
My husband and I had our first stay at the Empress in February, we were beyond impressed by the service, kindness of staff and... how spectacular their food is! Dining at the Q was a wonderful experience the waiter was so friendly and knowledgeable, the foodwas absolutely delicious! We also ordered room service a couple of times and the food each time was delivered to our room under30 minutes! The quality of food was just as fantastic as dining in! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Victoria to dine here atleast once! Read more
Victoria is full of amazing cocktail lounges, and here is one of the newest spots to circle and put on your list! Q at The... Empress is a cocktail lounge and has a full menu for dining. Yesterday our group of 6 enjoyed cocktails at Q Lounge. The staffwas amazing and accommodated us. The room reminds me of the old Bengal Lounge at The Empress. Check out the ceiling - so elegantand classic. I can't wait to return!!! Read more
First time visit at the Fairmont Empress. Went in for a lunch to celebrate a friend's birthday. Kind of disappointed with the... food offering, but that is compensated with the ambience and the live music. Their Roasted tomato soup was really great. And thePizza dough they use is very healthy and tasty. You have to have their rich chocolate cake if you are ever eating here, it wasamazing. Read more
