   Our server was a delight! The Burrata Salad was one of the best I’ve had, with the addition of roasted rhubarb. Bravo chef!

   Very spacious restaurant on the harbour in Victoria. It was a beautiful day with lovely views. The food was very good and we had desserts, but they were a bit underwhelming. The service was incredibly good and all the servers look like they love to work there and enjoy what they are doing. Would definitely go back.

   Food was very good, service above average. Reservation was made a week in advance so would have appreciated a window table. (Especially as one was available.) Would definitely return

   Food and service at the table as very good but the only issue we ever have is the front of house, we had a reservation and tell the staff our names and three of them talk to each other and completely ignored us for about 3 minutes. We ask if there’s a problem and don’t get any response, it was just embarrassing for us and the three members of staff who didn’t have a clue what was going on.

    I love happy hour at the Boom and Batten, we enjoyed a bottle of wine, some delicious fries, prawn and pesto flatbread and the Chili Chicken. Our server was polite and there just when we needed him. The view is amazing. I love the crystal water glasses. All of the special touches make a visit to the Boom and Batten so wonderful.

    Sadly we were disappointed with our experience. The pizza had overcooked prosciutto with limp and wilted arugula on top that looked like it had been under the warming lights for awhile. Although the Falafel bowl was tasty, only 3 falafels smaller than golf balls came with the dish which was a lot of lettuce with a few radishes and chickepeas. The kitchen seemed overwhelmed and the appetizer took one hour to arrive.

    The views are stellar from any seat in the main dining area, and even when they are really busy and a bit slower, the service and ambience works. The food is always impressive and their wine list has a good cross section of options by the glass. Definitely a great place to bring out of towners for an "on the Harbour" experience and a great meal to boot.

    We had a beautiful experience here for lunch. When I made the reservation, I mentioned that it was to celebrate a birthday and we were given the best table for us - great view, quiet, spacious - it felt very special. We were greeted with smiles by the hosts as we walked in and Johanna our waitress was incredible. She was perfect, light, friendly, professional, knowledgable, an absolute ray of joy. She totally made our day. The food was all prepared with a lot of care and attention to detail and it all tasted great. It was really nice to have a good selection of non-alcoholic sparking wines etc. Everything about the restaurant at lunch is a pleasure. It's elegant, cheerful, light, spacious and without any sense of being rushed or of being just another table. We'll definitely go back and would totally recommend it. Thank you all of you for making our lunch a wonderful experience.
    

    Boom + BattenResponded 5 days agoHi Vikki, thank you for taking the time to leave a glowing review. It is excellent to know that the food, beverages, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch.

    I’d prefer that the host didn’t greet me by informing me there is another reservation coming in almost 2 hours after mine. Could the staff just focus on welcoming each guest? We were done in an hour but if the restaurant has a problem with diners lingering for two plus hours, perhaps a notice regarding time limits could be added to the reservation process? We were celebrating our 30th anniversary but even though I had indicated in my notes that we were celebrating an anniversary, it was never mentioned. The food was very good and that may entice us to return, but I’m not feeling much appreciation at this point.
    

    Boom + BattenResponded 5 days agoHello Suzanne, thank you for your email. We appreciate your feedback regarding the hosts' communication of time restrictions. When you book on OpenTable, there is a message to the right of the screen outlining all of our time restrictions for each party size. I would like to apologize that your anniversary was never acknowledged, and I will be following up with our Restaurant Director regarding proper protocol for special occasions! We hope you will give us another try soon. Thank you!

    I have been to boom and batten a few times before and the food is always amazing! Service wasn’t very good last night either. There were a few times where we sat waiting for the waitress to come back to our table. Overall it was still good just slightly disappointing service!

    We all enjoyed our brunch very much! Two had the short rib hash and declared it excellent! One had eggs Benny and shared it was the best hollandaise sauce ever! And one full breakfast with all components declared as excellent as well! Really great service, food that’s some of the best we’ve had in Victoria and a view that is outstanding! Couldn’t ask for more!

    It was really good. There were not enough gluten-free options for my liking, especially since the elk sausage was no longer available. The chef was amazing though, and agreed to make an arctic char gluten-free meal for my mother and myself. It was excellent!

    I thought the upper level with views of the whole harbour was excellent, it was my first visit, so that’s the only view I am familiar with. We thought the eggs Benedict was excellent and I enjoyed the seafood chowder, but it wasn’t quite hot enough.

    Super bummed that this was such an average experience. The waiter was bored and didn't do a good job of pretending he wasn't. The food was really salty and yet bland. It was a really blah experience. The location is impressive and the room has the potential for fizz and pop... and yet it felt like we were in a Smitty's outside of Edmonton in January. Maybe the staff is tired and needs a break, cause that's what it felt like on a beautiful early summer evening on the water at Boom+Batten.

    Fantastic food, we ordered a selection from sheared bites and appies, we got a great selection, all delicious. We weren’t interested in the regular fare that would be in sections of pasta, handhelds, pizza etc. The interior is a bit boring and dull, not a fan of the interior decoration. Fantastic service, the waiter didn’t interrupt us. Great value for money, we will be back and highly recommend!

    Great ambiance and the meal was really nice. We both had steaks and cooked perfectly. The deconstructed lemon tart was the only thing that fell short with the size of the serving of only a couple of bites. They didn't rush us and was a really nice evening.
