Tea At The Empress - Victoria

The atmosphere is very beautiful and high. Service was very good, waiter was very on water and refills for our drinks. I had the lamb and without a doubt it was the best lamb I ever had. The crust was made to perfection, very sharp, but not burned and season very good. The lamb taste was present but not over barring. When I took a little lamb, this was one of the few times I had to hold in and close my eyes to immerse myself in what I had eaten. I would recommend the lamb 100%.

We've been to Q a few times. The first was summer time and enjoyed an outdoor dinner overlooking the port. The whole food was fantastic and the drinks were well designed. Our second time we enjoyed sitting in their lounge and enjoyed late night pizza, free popcorn and some incredible desserts. The ambience was beautiful and we had excellent service from our waiter. A highly recommended experience if you are willing to spend the money on it.

My husband and I had our first stay in the Empress in February, we were beyond the service, kindness of the staff and how spectacular their food is! The food in Q was a wonderful experience of waiters was so friendly and knowledgeable, the food was absolutely delicious! We also ordered a few room service and the food was delivered every time under 30 minutes in our room! The quality of the food was just as fantastic as the food! Ask anyone visiting Victoria to dine here at least once!

Excellent cuts, not over spiced to hide everything, tomahawk pork chops were tender and beautiful taste! Cedar wrapped salmon was moist and well paired with asparagus and green. Honey butter and bread was a great starter! Ready with homemade ice cream and sorbet and a berry trifle! Both were very creamy and delicious, not over sweet!

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 staff was amazing and accommodated us. The room reminds me of the old Bengal Lounge at The Empress. Check out the ceiling so elegant and classic. I can't wait to return!!!
