The Lakes Grillhouse n' Bar - Victoria

I kinda liked this place. The service was great and the food I ordered was really good too. I got the bacon wrapped stuffed pork tenderloin. I feel it was cooked quite well, was tender and juicy, and tasted great.

We were staying at the attached HoJo and it was getting late on our first night in Victoria.  The kids were hungry and I really wanted to get back in the car and drive somewhere to eat dinner.  My husband insisted we just go to next door to the Lakes for dinner.  I was very dubious.  The restaurant was not busy at all and we were seated right away.  My kids were given crayons and colouring placemats (always welcome! and they chose the cheesy pasta on the kids menu.  I ordered the BBQ burger and fries and my husband had a clubhouse sandwich.  I was very pleasantly surprised by the food.  My fries were absolutely delicious.  I know, I know, just french fries right?  No, seriously, delicious.  Thin and crispy.  I asked the server about it and she told us they were beer battered.  I literally would go back just for the fries.  My burger was also very good.  Saucy and messy, but good.  My husband likes his sandwich a lot.  It was huge and he ate everything.  My kids enjoyed their pasta.  Plus they got a strawberry sundae as part of their kids' meal and it was very nicely presented with macerated strawberries and fresh whipped cream.  Pretty good for a restaurant attached to a HoJo!  When in Victoria, I would return for sure.

Great place for a reasonable price breakfast. Our regular breakfast place. Where else can you get a 4 egg omelet for $11

Service was excellent! But I do not recommended the Braised Short ribs at $34.00!!! Sever said it was delicious and the meat just falls off the bone..Not true at all !!! So tough and the potatoes oven roasted tasted oily and deep fried, mushroom glaze way to salty..But on a good note the seafood chowder was delicious..

Newly renovated and rebranded The Lakes restaurant is a nice spot to stop in and enjoy a delicious meal. Prices were fair. We received exceptional table service. Thank you Heather for a pleasant experience.
