Reviews for Lakes Restaurant in Victoria, BC
We both had 6 chicken wings for $18. They were good but not that good. We then both ordered the 1/4 chicken dinner which both... were freezer burnt and tasted awful. The waitress was first class. The salad was not made fresh especially he day or two oldcut cucumber. The asparagus tasted disgusting. This place needs someone who knows how to cook using fresh ingredients. Againthe manager and the waitress were first class. Read more
While old reviews praise this place for value and great food, my experience was that it screamed of being a fine fine restaurant... while failing at every aspect. The food was average. Portion size was tiny. A steak the size of a small potato, for $26 Iordered the salmon and got a medium filet, with two boiled carrots, 5 boiled asparagus, a small scoop or plain rice, and somemediocre salad / veggies dumped on top Read more
This is a regular spot for my friends and I and we always have great service until our last visit yesterday. Not only was the... greeter rude and dismissive but our server (Barb) was exceptionally rude. Not only did it take an hour for breakfast but yourattitude towards us, walking away while muttering under your breath was disgusting customer service. We would of walked out butwe were trying to catch up since we haven't seen each other in 2 months. By the end of our stay, we were very unhappy and didnot want to even tip you, but we were the bigger person(s) and did so. Please learn to treat your customers with respect becausenext time you may get nothing. Read more
we waited for 15 minutes after seating to be watered. I mentioned it to our server who told me it was her 3d day, twice. I don't... know why the maitre didn't get us water. The food was exquisite, but wait service is in progress, perhaps. Read more

Very happy withe food quality and service. Good selection of beer. Too bad they didnt have Twa Dogs beer as the Brewery is... around the corner from them. Look forward to trying their stake dinner special. Read more
Terrific food, nice atmosphere, reasonable prices. The clubhouse was AMAZING and the portions are generous. Food came fast and... was hot. Staff were slow to greet me and I had to initiate conversation to get seated. Maybe they were just having an off night? Once seated the staff were very attentive. I enjoyed my meal and will try them again. Read more
Walked in the door. Spoke with 2 staff members that made my family of 5 feel like we were putting them out! Not an inviting... atmosphere or pleasant experience. After not feeling welcome, we turned around and walk right back out the front door. Wasreally looking forward to having lunch here for the first time, but unfortunately we?ll never go back. Maybe try hiring somestaff that are more welcoming. Read more
