Reviews for The Bent Mast in Victoria, BC
Best place ever for fish and chips! even tho I had the chowder it was incredible. I saw the other people eating and their... reactions. Will be back Read more
Check out this “breakfast sandwich “.. no disrespect, it was honestly the worst piece of food I’ve ever been served... anywhere. I can’t imagine the person who thought it would be okay to send this out lol. Those are also all of the “fries”it came with, they had no salt and tasted like pure starch. Dunno how you mess up home fries. I’d recommend the bent mastinvest in some sort of sauce, mayonnaise, anything. Especially if your signature is burnt eggs and fried cheese. Beyond that,the service is pretty slow, not friendly and not accommodating, and the inside of the restaurant smells awful, like legit an oldlitter box. Not sure if it’s the old building or the bad food.. I do feel bad about the state of this place and hope they geta new owner in quick, the neighborhood definitely deserves it and I’d be happy to help with management advice or ITsystems. Anyway probably a great place to have a beer, it’s a decent patio. Skip the food though. Read more
We had dinner there last night. The staff were a 5/5. Very helpful and attentive. The food was 5/5. The kitchen staff know what... there doing. The flavours of the burgers were spot on and the portions were the right size for us. The prices were 5/5. We fundthem very comparable to other places back home. Thank you for a very enjoyable dinner, we will be back. Read more
The Bent Mast has really cool curb appeal, plus the ghost stories to lure you in. We visited this past Friday evening. I was... excited to visit this restaurant while in Victoria but sadly disappointed. Upon walking in, the inside reeked of urine. I can'tbelieve more people don't address this in the reviews! The smell was absolutely horrible. We sat down hoping an area would beless smelly (or I'd get use to it after awhile) but it was nauseating and so we asked the waitress to move outside afterordering food but she seemed irritated by the question and confused when I brought up a bad smell. The outside tables had nochairs put out so we had to get our own and dry them with our own clothing. No one helped or seated us. We sat down and waitedfor our food to be brought out. The food came out in reasonable time. The pecans in my salad were burnt. Otherwise the food wasokay. No one during our whole meal came to ask us how things tasted or if we needed anything else food or drink wise. We satwith our finished plates and no one came to collect them or bring the bill. My partner finally had to go inside to chase downsomeone to pay. I could see how this place would be appealing for drinks or an outside brunch, but otherwise I would notrecommend... Read more
Finally had lunch at The Bent Mast...Friendly staff and home-cooked food. I had the chowder and lamb burger. Very good... lamb locally produced. Tasted the poutine..yummy and not sqalty, just how I like it. If you like spicy, try the crispycauliflower...have water near by. All I'll a great atmosphere and pub style food. Read more
Classic pub food, large portions, funky chill atmosphere. Great selection of drinks and beers. Fish and chips were delicious -... huge pieces, lightly breaded, homemade fries! Also had lamb soup - excellent flavours. They had some classic games available,which we enjoyed. Recommend! Read more
Great pub, amazing prices, and they even had board games to play while waiting for the food!
Tasty food! The corriander chicken soup was great but the side with my veggie burger (which was delicious) was only a half order... and I really regret not getting a full bowl because I finished it in 3 spoonfuls!! Will have to try to recreate it at home untilnext time if the stars align and I can get it again. Their patio is also dog friendly and very cozy in the evening. I'll haveto take my SO here when we visit Victoria in the future. It's an awesome little spot. Read more
